Players are leaving the Saudi league in droves, it's not much of a threat, and Barcelona can't afford a bucket to piss in, so that just leaves Real Madrid and City, there's only so many players those two clubs need to buy.

It looks like we were interested to me and no bidding war has taken place, they just agreed the same fee,
.....Let's side-step that and go with the facts instead.
This season:
28 apps / 13 starts.
League: 16 apps / 6 starts.
E.Conf Lg: 3 apps / 1 start.
E.Conf Lg (qualifiers): 6 apps / 3 starts
Belg. Cup: 3 apps / 3 starts
Nusa's not with BASE, he's with Atta Aneke which is the same agency as Gift Orban and Boniface.
That Ange wanted him but Levy bungled the negotiations
Also on low wages so total deal value is a lot less than
A lot, Nusa is being painted as some kind of spoilt teenager.
There's zero there that tells us that Spurs were ever close though.
Of course we were interested. We're interested in dozens of players.
Romano spouted the same bull shit with Nusa day after day. Talks here, talks there. Because he knows what brings engagement. There was never anything new between Spurs and Nusa from the very first tweet that mentions we were interested to today when Brentford agreed with him.
I think what's likely is we had a meeting with Brugge face to face to tell them of our intentions. We discussed it further with his agent, laid out our plans and they didn't coincide with Nusa wanting game time. We didn't go back to Brugge for further talks because of it.
We had the same pissing and crying over Poch's crew only being fattened up for re-sale......... It was bollocks. All the fear came to nothing.
Never heard of Nusa a few weeks ago but he's a signing we really need to be making, unless he doesn't want to come and then we need players with confidence in their ability who want to play for the club but, if he does come, he's a triffic signing who will give us his best years and propel us to challenging for trophies, but if he goes to Brentford he's a relegation level player and I hope he gets relegated and we can pick him up on a great deal cos he would have had some Prem League experience.
Sour grapes, happens every time when we don't get a player. Nusa is doing everything to prioritise gametime, which is smart of him, same reason he rejected Chelsea in the summer.
How would Ange speaking to hmm make a difference in knowing what his intentions were?
He’s either a gooner mole or has a very ‘interesting’ take on reality!For a post that seems to have so much time and effort put into it, this has to be one of the worst takes I've read on this forum and that is truly saying something
We were looking to sign him, if not we should move on to the next player on the list.
Ok but Will Romero, Dragusin, VDV, Udogie, Porro, Madison, Sarr and Vicario all be with us in 5 years time?
Yes but we use BASE as our intermediate on pretty much every deal. That’s why the negotiations always follow similar patterns
I think what's likely is we had a meeting with Brugge face to face to tell them of our intentions. We discussed it further with his agent, laid out our plans and they didn't coincide with Nusa wanting game time. We didn't go back to Brugge for further talks because of it.
There will be others on the list. But that could now mean waiting until the summer.
Who knows, 5 years are an eternity in football. The important thing is to have a good recruitment structure in place, so that we can replace them when the time eventually comes.
Absolute horsepoo.
Remind me how long out best players under Poch were at the club for.
