Money from Bayern is as money in the bank. We can borrow cheaply using it as collateral. I doubt very much its an important factor on where we purchase.

Yeh, once the sale is on the books we won't care.



We're not gonna spaff 30m on a player merely to (effectively) make life easy for Bayern.... Ridiculous notion.

I'm not sure what I'll make of it if he agrees personal terms with both of us. At least that would really wind up the goons if he ends up there knowing he was also open to joining us.

Surely he has to reject our advances now. Looks terrible on his part if he's agreed personal terms with both North London rivals.
The question is. If Eze really was a target (which I don't believe for a minute as its not the type of business we do, £70m on a 27 year old with presumably a large wage demand)

But putting that aside lets assume for a micro second that we were really in for him.
Why the fuck did we sit on this and not get the personal terms sewn up earlier, meaning that we've allowed another club to steal a march on us??

Why are we so fucking inept?
 
Jesus I hadn't even thought of that scenario! It can always get worse

Tottenham to sign 16-year-old from Leeds​

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign 16-year-old starlet Oliver Boast from Leeds United, reports The Athletic.

The two clubs are said to have agreed a 'seven-figure' compensation package after the youngster decided to follow in the footsteps of Archie Gray and make the move to North London.

Boast made his debut for United’s under-21s in April aged just 15, and has been described as "a modern No 9, who can lead the line and can play as a lone striker."

That is all true. I didn't realise Eze still had an affection for the goons until yesterday. I thought with his Dad being a big Spurs fan that he'd want to play for us and prove Woolwich were wrong to give up on him.

Oh well I read that situation all wrong.... 🙈
To be fair, it really doesn't matter who he supported as a kid. We seem to get hung up on this.

Defoe was a goon fan, but he has enormous affection for Spurs.

Once they go pro, those sort of affiliations go out of the window.

Why? Anyway how do we know he’s agreed anything with anyone? Just because some journo/itk prints something doesn’t mean it’s true. In the end if both clubs are serious and willing to pay the RC then it’s up to the player. So the player needs to know what’s on offer from both clubs to make his decision.

Willian had agreed terms with us and even did a medical, then chose the chavs.
 

Let's hope it's Eze agent trying to bounce spurs into the purchase. But we shouldn't need bouncing. We need the player we fill the stadium 3 times a month spending the most money as a fanbase the fucking around has to stop. If we loose out our targets to our rivals arguing over marginal calls on costings there will be up roar. If Woolwich are offering Eze 40k a week more he's gonna go and levy "we want to win the league" will look like the hollow shite we believed it too be.

We signed Matt Doherty who's a gooner....... He got meme'd; then laughed it off and got on with his job.

Find it difficult to outright object to the signing of EZ (or the scandinavian DM lad with the AFC tattoo) simply on the basis of what club they chose to follow when they we kids. In a perfect world all our signings grew up Lilywhite; but we don't live in that world....

*Apparently* there was more to it than that.
Willian was threatened after completing long Spurs medical before brutal snub


I've heard so many different versions of events that day too.
One version I heard was that Abramovic was pally with the Alzhi owner and basically made him pull out of selling to Spurs at the last minute. But I'm more inclined to believe the players account. Which in some ways, makes us look bad. If he was at our training ground and said he wanted to go to Chelsea, we should have just told him to fuck off tbh, rather than keep him there all day.

If we are assuming, lets assume we did sort out personal terms ( it was reported last week) but he would prefer the scum.

I think you’re right, but that €60m could buy us a top drawer 6 if we sell now.
Problem is I think we already have the 60m lying around already but aren't bothered spending it. I honestly see zero benefit to selling Romero. We lose our best player and probably don't replace him. And best case scenario is we go and buy a top CDM with money we already had but the owners were too tight to spend it without selling Romero.
