Yeah if it looks too incredible to be true, it is.

Woolwich didnt wake up this morning and complete a deal in a day. All the reports earlier in the window were that Eze was a gooner who preferred them. Woolwich seemed to go cold so we suddenly had a chance. Clearly Woolwich were in touch with Eze’s agents all along so they could decide whether to pounce.

It happens alot with Spurs. Neto, Willian, Petit, Eze, Hazard, Diaz to name a few. Its not coincidence. They try get players on cheap deals and leave room for other clubs gazump them.

Ridiculous wages with bonus clauses etc. that other clubs would take the piss out of.

Ben Foster (FozCast) said:
"One of the lads, Danny Rose, was at Tottenham and Daniel Levy is so famously known for being tight and being an absolute businessman, brutal, ruthless businessman," Foster told The Fozcast.

"Apparently, their bonus schedule, their bonus payments were almost impossible to achieve, almost impossible. To actually get paid a bonus, you would only get it for beating one of the big boys, one of the top six teams. So you're talking a Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool.

"Apparently, I swear on my life, this is what he said to me, you've got to beat them by two clear goals as well. [1-0] it's not enough mate, you ain't getting that bonus. Winning games, they expect you to win games as Tottenham manager, at Tottenham apparently.

"To get the bonus you have to obliterate your opponent. You have to beat Man City 2-0, 3-0 to get that bonus payment which is bonkers. I was saying 'Rosey, there's no chance, that's impossible'. He was just saying 'I know Fozzy, I know'.

"He said there was one time they were winning 2-0 and in the last minute they conceded a goal and everyone was looking at each other thinking 'OK come on lads we've missed out on the bonus', and they've still won the big game."

It's exactly like the woman who fancies some bloke you don't particularly like ,but he has already got a girlfriend.

You try to ask her out, and she continually makes excuses why she can't, although she tentatively agrees. You have a decent car and a nice gaffe, but are a little wary of going to a top top restaurant, as that's just your way.

Suddenly this other fella finds out his current girlfriend is disappearing for a few months.

Guess what, the girl who has been playing hard to get to you, is only too willing to go for a drink with your mate.

The mistake was chasing her in the first place, in the hope she would give you a chance.

Damn, you have some deep trauma to deal with.

Sorry to hear the story.
 
WTF! I just woke up to find that aresnal have hijacked the Eze deal! Why on earth hadn’t we settled 5his days ago? God I hate the hierarchy at Spurs. Quibbling over a few million or payment terms is petty and costs us big time. I give up. This admin has to go.
 
Signing Tyler Dibling is exactly the sort of move I could see us making. We have completely blown any chance of making a step up this window - we bottled the CL money and pull and are moving onto third choice targets we could’ve gotten without winning the EL at all.

Not only is he 19 and nowhere near close to ready, he’s also a lefty RW who’s clearly worse than both Kudus and Kulusevski, so the profile doesn’t even make sense.

That’s how I know we’ll sign him.

I hope that is true, abd I hope whoever we might be looking at is secured quietly abd definitively.

It's possible we can find a player who actually wants to play for this great club,but that's fir us to know

Savinho seems keen, with no other parties interested. Let's get that sorted, and then for Rogers, who will be better than both Eze and Gibbs-White.

Levy, you need to find a way.

Yip, it's the players and Not Levy trying to squeeze the last penny out of a deal. It's not Levy negotiating to pay a deposite and the the remained over 100 years.

Wake Up. It took Woolwich 1 afternoon to buy Eze. We spent 3 windows trying to do the same.
