Nah, 'cos that's like cheating in a test and giving yourself 100%...What is sticking out here for me is that bit about Forest saying our bid didn't meet all the clause requirements apart from the fee.
If we knew the details of the clause, which they are claiming, then surely we'd have met them all no?
Also, if the clause was a secret, then surely the only thing we could do to trigger it was bid the right amount, or more than that?
Surely it should go like this;
1. Spurs bid an amount that triggers the clause and allows us to talk to the player,
2. Player advises Forest that he wants to move,
3. Forest then advise Spurs of the remaining details of the clause, then it's up to Spurs to either meet them or not.
How can you refuse a bid for not meeting all clause details when those details are a secret?
knowledge!Maybe the plan is to wait until the 31st August to do his medical lolIf he is injured and out for weeks, then there may be truth in us trying to sign him I suppose.
Why change from Wednesday, we’ve only played one game .Agreed, Solanke has played one game and a cameo this week.
Let's see if he starts on Saturday and then see what changes Frank has made to his game.
A few years after Bale transferred to Madrid, I happened to talk to one of the (many) professionals involved in the deal.
He told me the deal had been agreed in principle between both clubs and player (and his agent) a little over 3 weeks before it was actually announced - with the 3 weeks being spent by the parties (and their professional advisors) fine tuning everything for the effects of currency movements, tax differences between UK and Spain and a 1,001 other things,
But the 'headline' financials didn't change and nor did Bale's wages post tax in Spain change - although many details necessary to complete the contract did.
So 'deals' can be agreed in principle with handshakes all round but signing a contract takes a lot more time - and the time between agreeing a deal and contracts being signed filled in the social media space by lots of fabricated stories of multiple bids etc made up by people who have no clue as to what's really going on. And that includes journalists who are never going to be told 'the deal is done' by the clubs until shortly before its announced ....... and they have column inches to fill so are all part of the 'transfer window circus'
Pep big mad!!!

Savinho apparently "injured" too
Don't worry, if he signs for us, we'll have him fit in no time!!!!Pep just said that Savinho is injured and will be out for a few weeks!
Guess that explains the delay!





No need to rub it in.

I get what you're saying but we have consistently bought players around the 50-60m range in recent years i think we're capable of going up to the 60-70 rangePalace and City would definitely ratfuck us just to be clear. Move the goalposts on us or accept another bid.
I do not trust either chairman as far as I can throw him. Parrish is a Levy clone and City hates us for the Kane saga. They’d love nothing more than to screw us over if they get another bid.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Big money deals like this are very complex and can fall apart at the drop of a hat. Leaving both to the last weeks of the window is unconscionable.
You're missing my point, which is that for them to claim we knew all about the clause, we'd have had to have known all of the secret parts of it in order to trigger it fully. From what I can make out here, all we've done is put a bid in that was sufficient to trigger what appears to be just stage 1.Nah, 'cos that's like cheating in a test and giving yourself 100%...
When everyone knows if you're gonna cheat in a test or exam, slip under the radar with a creditable pass of between 75-80%
I learnt that when I got my Statistics 'A' Level, passing with 77.5%knowledge!
Doesn’t sound close at all but the player wants to come. I love it Guardiola hates us too. Probably because we never roll over for the cheating fuckers and have beaten them countless times when other teams would have given up.
Pep big mad!!!

Here Gold is saying that the club did inform them of the bid beforehand. I’m really starting to think we didn’t know about the release clause and just made a bid that coincidentally was at the number.

Some other good bits in here.
