Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Sane is a mistake and the club know it. Its just a bargaining tool to get Tel cheaper. It's no secret bayern want to sell Tel and Spurs want to sign him.

This is all just part of them game. Bayern want 45m, Spurs tryna get them closer to 30m.

The Sane links is all smokes and mirrors. A game of chicken. His agent is playing along too in the hope that other clubs hear he's available and get involved. He will end up getting a 300k+ deal a week with Chelsea, United or in Saudi

Not filth.
 
And for anyone who thinks Sane would be a good signing. Ask yourself the below questions and you won't like the answer.

1. Why are bayern letting him go on a free instead of offering an extension?
2. Why are Man City not interested in bringing him back on a free?
Why didnt City want Modric, Why didnt City want Bale, Why didnt Bayern sign Berbatov or Son?

Why did Monaco want rid of Klinsmann? Why didnt Madrid want Van Der Vaart?

1. Bayern have offered Sane a big contract so they don’t want to let him go.

Sane is the one looking to leave as his model missus doesn’t fancy Germany and lives in London - Sane has reportedly been living away from his missus and child in Munich for a while now …

2. As for City - his missus is a model and lives in London now - not sure how many female modeling opportunities there are in Manchester but I’m guessing less than London.

Chavs and Red Scum also supposedly have interest.

Was the Tel deal not a loan with a set option to buy? £45m I think, I know a lot of fans aren’t keen on him, IMO he has talent, only turned 20 so there is room for improvement.

Tail wagging the dog or what?

1. They are offering him contract terms. He just doesn’t like them. Maybe he wants to move on, maybe he’d only accept a pay rise from them but we could offer a sign on bonus to make up for wage short fall?
2. Because we don’t compete for the same players as City. We liked Cherki, they are taking him.

1) They've increased their initial wage offer so they def want to keep him.

2) Just because City don't want him he won't be a good signing? eh?
 
Bayern have offered him new terms. He’s a squad player at Bayern and he wants to play more. Plus he wants to be with his wife.

Man C, Chelsea etc can’t buy everyone. Due to PSR even then bigger clubs are being careful in terms of what salaries they’ll pay on contract renewals.

When we signed Porro he was one of the best attacking right wing backs in Europe, likewise Romero was one of the best centre backs yet we signed them. How about Lloris - another who was one of the best around but he signed for us.

Sane is a very good player, scoring 11 league goals last season… only 1 less than the £150m rated Musiala.

1. They are trying to get him to sign a new contract.
2. They have let their side grow old together so are trying to bring the age of the squad down so resigning a 29 yr old not really on their agenda. Very different for us.

I get the concerns upto a point but if we plough what we save on transfer fees for Sane to get Eze as well then all of a sudden our attack is a very different proposition.

We have to bring this guy in.

Non-negotiable.

Covers LW, AM, SS.

Bring Eze, Sane, Tel.

Then decide what we are doing with Richy and replace him if he goes.

Completely changes our attacking unit into a CL and PL level attack.

CF: Solanke, Richy (or new), Tel
LW: Eze, Odobert, Tel, Moore
RW, Sane, Kulusevski, Odobert, Moore
AM: Maddison, Eze, Kulusevski

And we still have budget for a CM and Hincapie to cover LCB and LB

It’s not so much their side is ageing - it’s that they have squad players like Sane, Gnabry, Coman on huge wages, and then they have the younger starters like Musiala, Olise, etc who they are gonna have to hand even bigger deals soon. They are worried their wage bill is getting out of hand.
 
That was last summer...when it was already too late.
Anyway, my point was that there were people against buying him as he was just another young potential.

We were certainly in discussion with Wharton him when at Blackburn, but he decided to go to Palace, possibly because of assured playing time.

And from his POV not a bad decision, although its pure speculation as to how much game time he's have got at Spurs in competition with the likes of Bentancur and Bissouma one of whom he might have supplanted.

Wharton went to Palace in the Feb for £18M and we spent £40M on Gray a few months later. Wharton is 3 years older. Only time will tell who will be better.

Think set option was around 50m but spurs have already made it clear they aren't going to exercise it. Bayern will accept 45m. Spurs trying to get him for closer to 35m.

The Sane stuff is just Spurs letting Bayern know they have other options and will pull out if Bayern don't lower the price.

Let's not play the fool. City had Sane before and are selling Grealish this summer. A Sane return on a free would make sense and they could offer him the same wages grealish was on.

City are not interested. They've moved on. They want bigger and better. We should be the same. We should be all in for Eze or Mbeumo!
