Over a year to sign a striker.
Amateur stuff!
What I love is how everyone knows what poch wants like its fucking gospel.
No - I think you've both missed the point.
It's melting to start going apeshit over a story that is blatantly recycled from the same stuff they were saying last week, at which point Janssen himself said "They refuse to even sit at the table" when we offered £16.5m
Do you really think that the AZ board are giggling in the corner saying "well, we might have said yes if they offered £17m, but we'll wait for the papers to tell them".
At least one person is on the ball!
I mean, I think the journos would know more than the player, right?
What tight cunts AZ are, keeping a player who really wants to go - which is a no no isn't it - for the sake of half a million.No - I think you've both missed the point.

Everyone believes the papers but nobody has actually taken any notice of the quote from the players mouth that AZ didn't come to the table. So, how have they turned down a bid?
No one believes the club when they say he has 3 years left and they don't want to lose him ,even for 18m.
So, exactly, we don't know how much they want.
Martial last year, we wouldn't offer more than £15m, which everyone thought was fair for a kid in better league, we offered £18m and it was agreed, then £31m and could have got him for £25m according to which report you believe.
Lloris leaving us for Madrid makes like zero sense at this moment. We are finally in the champions league and Navas is a pretty good goal keeper, i dare to say, in a level close to our beautiful french men
Not only this, but the "just pay what they want" brigade are probably the same ones who would judge a player on his value and hold them to a higher standard of form.
If we signed everyone for far more than their value, fan expectation would be through the roof for "that £30m donkey" and the player would suffer so much pressure.
Imo this is why players like Dier, Kane and Alli have done well for us, and that's because the fans & media haven't jumped on them after a couple of bad games for being a waste of money. I do think it contributed massively to the Soldado scenario, and he might have carried on his Valencia form if he cost half as much (although the stattos/gibbs will jump on about tiny dancers, not suited, blah blah blah).
Imagine if the Sun had "Spurs £5m flop" on the back page if Alli had a bad patch of form - wouldn't happen.
If Janseen does sign for us, he might not hit the ground running - and he won't have a chance to develop if he comes in at £20m+, even if that is the going rate.
Someone get Levy's son on Twitter
ochsulk:
Yes of course we have.
i still want a very good winger/attacking midfielder
£45 million paid over 50 years dependent on appearances and goals and an option to pay nothing if we don't like him.
I think it's the worst kept secret that he really wanted Berahino last summer & we didn't get him. Maybe that's down to Poch himself setting the bid limit- I doubt it, but maybe that's the reason he didn't come to us. Similarly, I can't see the club wasting time & energy showing Jannsen round the facilities & turning his head to us if he wasn't a player Poch wanted. Which brings me back to the fee for him. Maybe Poch has set the bid limit again for him. Maybe not. But if we keep missing out on targets in a position where we have a critical need to strengthen, then there is no point in complaining when we fall short again. I take it that is melting to some people. Manure are strengthening. Citeh are. As are the chavs, the dippers & the scum.
At some point we are going to have to spend on a striker. Historically the most expensive position to fill. We dropped so lucky with Harry Kane. Are we really even debating the need to lay out some serious money to consolidate our place in the league, or are we happy to fall back behind our rivals, having finally made a dent in the sky 4?
Why would we be bidding for Icardi unless Pochettino has had a sudden change of heart and fancies playing 4 4 2 this season

"£5M FOR YEDLIN?
Tottenham are demanding £5m for their United States right-back DeAndre Yedlin, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland according to the Daily Star on Sunday.
However, the paper reports that it's too high of a fee for the Black Cats, who are beginning to look at other defensive options in the position."
Who else could you get with that age and potential for <£5m??
