Transfers Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I know he was on loan but Southampton claimed they had first right to sign. It was well publicized last summer.

However he never was officially their player, irrespective of the supposed £6m deal they had in place. We got him for £11m from Atleti, it as a no brainer from them to accept our higher offer. Also Toby wanted to come to us. Southampton may or may not want to do business with us. Seems odd since we've had a number of players and managers off them. Liebherr is a business woman and not a football person. The Southampton fans may hate us and the club might project not wanting to deal with us. However if the price is right then it's a go.
 
Good luck to him.

Will be interesting to see the deal. Whether it was indeed loan with option to buy or if we've got a permanent deal from it.
 
Absolutely massive talent, a rare jewel in the turd of AVB/Sherwood season, was immense under Poch's first year too. Such a shame he is going. Remember his debut against Southampton away, but more memorable perhaps was his interview after the game where he couldn't stop smiling. Whatever happened behind the scenes must have been way out of line (to spin a positive, it's another message to the team that Poch demands a lot both on and off the pitch and he will pull the rug from under you without hesitation if the ethics of the group are threatened, can only assume they were).

Best of luck Bentaleb.

0 goals in the Premier league, numerous misplaced passes, tactically very poor positionally but he had heart and will always be remembered for his assist in the NLD.

Good luck Bentaleb.
 
Southampton fans boo Poch every game since he left, they can't stand him. We paid out a massive comp fee when Poch came over. So where/why is the tension? What did we do to cause such hostility, what snide move did we pull off? Sorry to bang on mate but what tension, what have Southampton said about nasty old Spurs?
Tbf Real Madrid have not said a word about Spurs, most of us still regard them as cunts tho
 
Good luck Bentaleb? Really?

The guy would sell us down the shitter for a weeks wages. Threatening that Juve wanted him, when he wanted more cash? Ditching the team to play for Algeria, where he came back injured? Throwing a tantrum when he doesn't get played?

Fuck that guy. There's players who love the club and players who use the club.

Good luck Ryan Mason.

I agree with most of this but... A player who chooses his country over club is exactly the type of player we seem to want, strong willed, passionate and wanting to prove themselves on the highest stage, just like the English core we have, can't blame bentelab for Algerians fixtures

He was injured.
He was advised not to go, or he would make his injuries worse.
Poch directly said, don't go.
He went anyway.
He came back injured.
