Transfers Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Clickbait article.

I hate sports 'news' that's just one blokes vague opinion.

Its like saying:

"United set to miss out on Pogba"

"United want Pogba, but might miss out on him as he could decide to stay in Turin. But who knows? Fuck it, maybe Real might decide they want him after all. Or maybe not. Here's a poll....."
 
I didn't write it - I was only trying to calm things down. He'd have to take a pay cut if he did come though.

Most likely he would get 100k a week and Levy would tie in some huge sign on fee or bonuses so Gotze doesn't lose cash but we don't technically break our wage structure.

Still don't think it's going to happen but if Gotze wanted to come I reckon we could work something out.

Levy would give him £100k a week, a special code to get two for one Pizzas every Tuesday from Dominos, a discount code for SCS sofa, 20% off Eurocarparts and a voucher to get the double glazing free for the back of the house if he buys the front..

Someone give me nudge in 50 pages time when he's signed for someone else.

Not wishing to be overly negative, but we've all been here before countless times......it'll be a nice surprise if he does join, but it won't say much for other clubs willingness to take him on.
 
Honestly I'm not naysaying, I'd love it if chose to revive his career with us, but there are Bayern fans saying he could fail with us. I'd like to know why.

Because they're just climbing off the Pep Guardiola ride.

He's not exactly a manager who gets the most out of players, imo. I don't know for a fact, but I'm not aware of many players he's actually improved.

(WARNING - CONTENTIOUS STATEMENT INCOMING)

Sort of like a poor man's Mourinho
 
There aren't really a lot of clubs who will pay for out-of-form players. Your City/Utd/Chelsea/Madrid types always pay for form, rather than take a chance on reviving a career.

Our signings are always on a pretty similar career trajectory - players join us on compromised wages as the career path to clubs like Real Madrid, Man Utd etc is clear and well trodden.

Gotze won't take a wage drop to join us (if he has to then it means no one else wants him - then you have to question why) and we won't break our wage structure to sign him.
