He's right there Bayern!?! why waste your time on the far inferior player
Can't have Austin as our 2nd choice and certainly can't have someone like Aaron Maguire as our 3rd choice if Gunter gets loaned too.
Rodrygo is asking for massive money, the whole package is supposedly a huge outlay.
What's the point mate honesty, it's a sunday night, it's been a shit weekend. I'm sure you're a nice bloke.Cheers.
Has the cartel set you straight?
i'm not interested in having it out with a fellow Spurs fan on the internet. have a good night.
This is absolutely the biggest point that people miss on this thread by a country mile. Also a massive part of the reason we usually do business late imo, really good players want to go to really good clubs and we just fundamentally aren't at the moment, we're still in the chasing pack. Players can hold out until the last few days of the transfer window equally as much as clubs can.
The best players leave clubs who will not pay them the top wages.
The Forest chairman has been roundly slagged off on this forum and elsewhere for his actions but tell me with a straight face that if any of the players on the list I posted had been kept at WHL, by Levy offering them agreeable terms, you would have been unhappy?
Do you see how this works?
Levy has turned Spurs into a selling club.
The Forest chairman now objects to selling his best players to a club run by Daniel Levy.
Son will be gone, Solomon likely to Leeds, and we don't know who else my be coming in.
At just seventeen it makes sense for Moore to go out on loan. I'm guessing WBA.
He's one of the most naturally talented footballers in the world.
He's hardly going to accept parity with our top earmers.
This is what fucks me off about our recruitment. Why bother getting involved if we aren't serious.
It's like we make a little enquiry in the hope we can attract these types for way less than their ability actually warrants lol
I mean we're just small time.
Always trying to shop at M&S with a fucking Lidl bag.
When we were challenging for the title, and could have signed the most ambitious players, we didn't fucking sign any.
Why do you think that was?
It's because our miserly chairman does not want a big player wage bill.
He can't pay himself a bonus for fucking up the construction projects if he has one of those.
Henry, not unlike Kroenke move money between their business ownerships.
Sorry to piss on your fire mate.
Where do City get their billions from, between the cushions of Pep's sofa.
You fool.
Was one of those "complex conditions" NOT being Spurs by any chance??
I'm with you mate. We both have differing views and I can be as bad as anyone with the things I've spouted in the past and I'm going to try and keep my views a bit less accusatory. There are posters on here I genuinely dislike but, whatever I think about their views they are entitled to them.
I feel as a club we seem to be hated by everyone else and I believe that has a lot to do with the owners. I'm 57 and I don't ever remember the term 'Spursy' bring used before Enic took over. I think a lot of us hate the embarrassment that the board seem to bring us. MGW being the latest in a number of fuck ups...If we really wanted him pay the money...it seems our esteemed chairman has learnt nothing. After snagging a trophy last season I would have thought the board would have at least tried to get some decent signings over the line...
My best guess is that there's an agreement between him and Liverpool already. Clubs have already done business this window, weird 10 million early buyout by Madrid for Trent. Waiting for the Diaz one to go through before Rodrygo is announced.
Well I'm not sure what it's got to do with us because he 100% would not be interested in a move here. From what I understand he had earmarked a move to Woolwich and had liverpool on his list but while both clubs were seriously interested they were less keen on his demands which were close to Saudi money expectations.
