"You can lower your pants a bit, but there are limits" - Detailed explanation behind failed Tottenham exit - Sport Witness

Tottenham Hotspur’s Victor Wanyama was a target for Club Brugge in the final weeks of the European window, but they failed to get the deal over the line. On Monday, Het Nieuwsblad reported Brugge had an ‘agreement in principle’ with Mauricio Pochettino’s side and the Kenya international for some...

What happened to his proposed move to club brugge in the summer? Surely we didnt cancel it? Mad if so.

Much like the Danny's proposed move to Watford the player never agreed terms, it was an odd saga including "to scared to fly on a private plane" a claim for"unpaid monies owed by Spurs" and a last minute demand for "an extra year on any new contract" from Wanyama. As with Danny no formal offer was ever made as the player and Brugge never came to an agreement.

You're mixing him up with Robbie Keane...

We should count ourselves lucky if they somehow sign a striker.

I've often pondered this....

Add Scotty Parker to the list too.... Not perma-crocked, but another short-lived option.

The amazon documentary crew are gearing up for some tense drama for the last day of the transfer window.

Should we tell them now?

This will be Jose trying to discuss transfers with Levy

 

[Fattynomates]

Why aren’t we scouting players like this?

 

[Fattynomates]

Let's be honest, they'll just announce that they found 1/2 of a Wanyama out back.

If we could join it to the broken Wanyama and make a Wanyama of 16/17 season i would be very happy

Because despite the stadium and training ground infrastructure we are all fur coat but no knickers.

The documentary crew are going to be very quiet I would expect.

I see he has a 40 million release clause? Doubt he will be there after the summer

Many of them aren't DMs.

We seem to have a trend where a fair amount of people think CM & DM are one and the same thing; they're not.

 

[Notabadsquad]

Are we any closer to improving the quality of our squad?

One must assume Mourinho knows the areas of greatest need or where improvements will be necessary..
