Just goes to show why our club does its business in private.
Koeman just yesterday name dropping Siggy as almost done.

Lack of class this window is shocking.

The Transfer Window Trophy has reached new depths. I'm just waiting for the fan tv deadline day big brother style showdown to really push football off the cliff.
In a purely selfish way, at least we know Siggurdson will probably be finalised tomorrow (?). Could see Barkley being sold as something they'd want to hold off until just afterwards to keep the fans focused on Gylfi.
 
Until UEFA gets their heads out of their asses and starts disciplining squads/managers for player tampering it's never going to end.

There's far too many intermediaries and shameless press to discipline clubs for player tampering unfortunately. Even worse so with shit like twitter on top of it all. All a club needs is for an intermediary to go tell a hack to gin up some rumours to turn a player's head, or just mention to his agent when negotiating some other deal for some other player.

American sports attempt to stop tampering, and fail miserably. It's simply impossible these days, and if you can't truly prevent something then it's best not to even attempt it - else all you do is punish the honest clubs/managers who will play by the rules and lose all their players to the rich and shady.
 
BREAKING NEWS

It is understood talks have broken down between Everton and Swansea over a deal for Gylfi Sigurdsson.

We understand a deal is now in jeopardy after more than five weeks of negotiations.

One source has suggested a verbal agreement was reached between the two clubs, only for Everton to withdraw the offer 48 hours later and refer back to a previous offer, understood to be around £40m.

There’s now a fear at Goodison Park that soured relations may scupper the process completely, seriously hampering Ronald Koeman’s and Paul Clement’s planned transfer dealings over the next three weeks.

Sky Sports News understands that the two clubs are less than £5m apart on a fee, with Sigurdsson’s wages not expected to be a problem.

Just leaving this here for people who say shit like "other clubs don't seem to struggle to buy players"
 
Yesterday:
"Danny Rose is fed up."
"Danny Rose knows he can double his pay elsewhere."
"Man U would be a massive step up."
"He wants to compete for trophies."

Today, straight from the horse's mouth:
"I'm settled here. I'm slowly turning into a southerner!

"I'll be here until I'm 31 and at the moment, I couldn't wish for anything more than to play for Spurs for the rest of my career.

"Everyone knows that the club is going in the right direction and I'm over the moon that I've earned a new contract that will keep me here until I'm an old man!"

"It was hard when I first moved down to Essex and Tottenham, I was going home every chance I could," added Rose.

"I wasn't playing regularly and it's only been the last three or four years where I've felt more settled, more part of the club and part of the team and I'm loads happier. The manager has had a lot to do with that and so has the chairman, to be fair.

"I'm settled, I love living down south and funnily enough, when I get the chance to go back home to Doncaster, I don't go back too much now. I would never have thought that when I first moved down here."


Whoopsie, the media caught again telling absolute lies. They are so desperate to tear our entire team apart.

A player being positive about the chairman?!

Don't let the melts see that.

Actually, considering their viewpoint on Poch being positive about chairman it's probably not what Danny means at all. He probably actually means Levy is Satan. Just like Poch did.
