Exclusively RWF when I have watched him.
Never seen him play up top.
???
Likewise, just because another club may come in, doesn't mean we won't get him.
A club can offer whatever they want to Blackburn, Blackburn have no say in whether the player chooses us or anyone else.
Another club can offer the player more money, and that might sway him, but that's nothing to do with us only paying a £2m fee...
Its Blackburn (or Venky's the owners) trying to be clever that means :
1) Deal is delayed
2) Blackburn get less money.
Spurs had no option other than sit it out - we had agreed to pay more but Blackburn shot themselves in the foot it appears, so we pay the contractual sum. Nothing to do with Levy
Yeah, I don't care who gets the money I'm not sure of the process that occurs when two clubs are interested. If Spurs and chavs both go in for him, it surely has to be a money-based decision on where he ends up. Either due to lump sum to player, player wages, agents fees etc. My point being that just because there is a release clause on friday that we are willing to meet, doesn't mean we'll get him.
It doesn't matter to them whether we'll get him or not, they still lost here.
Not sure what you're confused about. Aren't we agreeing? Oh, maybe that's why you're confused.
My last comment was sarcasm, i.e. we don't tend to out-bid other clubs.
Deadline Day limbs when the Bald narcissist replaces Lenglet with.........
Lenglet.
Lenglet.
Oh, I see what you're referring to. What did they lose? Are you talking about the tweets saying we offered 5 mil? I'm just assuming that's bullshit to raise interest from the agent's side. Sorry, I can see how I was not helping now.
Fair point.
Money. Yes, we offered more than 2m.Oh, I see what you're referring to. What did they lose? Are you talking about the tweets saying we offered 5 mil? I'm just assuming that's bullshit to raise interest from the agent's side. Sorry, I can see how I was not helping now.
Yeah, it was the last sentence that threw me, it's hard to tell what's sarcasm or not when it comes to Spurs and transfers, there are some extreme takes!
The player gets to decide if multiple clubs meet the release clause. (In reality, the player gets to decide on almost every transfer.) The difference with the release clause is the selling club gets zero say.
There is absolutely zero reason a club will ever pay more than the release clause.
I agree
Him and Fellaini through the door would turn this window into god tier
Make it happen , Daniel
He was Conte's preferred left wing back at Inter, certainly in Conte's last season at Inter which is why he was recruited to Spurs.
Earlier in his career Perisic had been playing as a winger, and still does for Croatia
He was probably Croatia's best player at the WC, and they reached the semi-final.
I feel like maybe I'm living in a parallel universe where agents are honest, selfless and just.
In the words of Ice-T: "But shit ain't like that."
Surely if two clubs go head to head, one will grease the palms of these scumbags and get the nod? All other things being equal, I mean? i.e. player doesn't care about either club and both agreed same wages.
If it's prohibited by law, then great, that's actually a fucking smart law. I hope it exists!
We also needed a GK as Lloris was clearly losing it - so we bought a very highly rated one
No creativity in midfield - so we had to buy and bought best available, Maddison
Agree we need CB's, but do NOT agree defenders above these two - possibly equal - but not signing either of Maddison or Vicario to wait until CB's signed would have been cutting off nose to spite face.
Sure they can grease the palms of the player or agent but they’ll never pay more than the release clause to the selling club.
