Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
What source do you have for this as Capology has him on around £100k/week at RBL?
Xavi Simons to Tottenham transfer reality clear amid Chelsea fear
Tottenham have made a move for the RB Leipzig starlet in the latest twist in a summer transfer window that has brought more pain than it has pleasure
Ali with another pretty damning piece on the club and it's "strategy"
We know how this ends
The thing is, why haven’t Chelsea made an offer if they are able to? Makes no sense.
They’ve kept the player hanging all summer clearly because they can’t sign him yet and are prioritising other targets.
Even now we’ve made an offer. They haven’t. They could have made a bid any time over the last weeks and months.
So I understand why we are being aggressive now in trying to beat them to it.
I guess we’ve been clear with the player that we won’t wait and he will need to accept and sign quickly.
I suppose the small optimism I have is, why haven’t Chelsea bid yet? Can only think it’s because they can’t, maybe the price is too high

Young English talent, wouldn’t be a bad signing and in a midfield formation that suits him would be far better than his current situation.
I think we might be getting him
I linked the article in my post. They said according to Sport Bild. I very much doubt we'll over anything more than £180k/week.
Waiting for us to set the price so they can swoop in and get everything done in 24hrs, allowing them all that time saved working on other targets.
Obviously.
You sure about that?I still don't think this Simons talk is legit, its just supposed ITK generating a false narrative, he is going to the Chavs but they want to make it look like he rejected us by going there, the club is not so stupid as to do thi after MGW & EZE!!!!!
I had this same thought process with Woolwich and Eze. Why didn't they just pay the 68m release clause in June? Why did they wait until after the season started to sign him for 68m!
Live to cobham, as simons arrives for his medical
Plettenberg
Plettenberg was always reporting on the deal. I was in denial, but it seemed he was on the money.
I think he is very good for German transfer news.
Nah that was some young buck journo who thought he was clever.

Playing chicken with RBL over his fee as clearly don't have the appetite to pay the 70m euro RBL want for the player and were banking on no one else coming in for him, think Woolwich were probably doing similar with Eze but us coming in forced their hand, here's hoping Maresca doesn't fancy him at the cost and they pass on him as feel we are fucked if they decide to match our bid, player has made his preference clear and I don't think we have the stomach to exceed the terms Chavs will offer by enough to entice him here.
Will add that I don't see the player opting to stay at RBL like Paz with Como/RM though, RBL are a mickey mouse club with no real fans and as such I'd say we represent a more attractive prospect than them being a well followed London club with CL football to offer this season. The player has managed to engineer multiple moves from other clubs already in his career so doubt he's worried about getting stuck at Spurs, think he has a lot of self belief and knows he will succeed anywhere he goes, very attractive trait IMO, not worried about his "loyalty" as if we get 2 world class seasons and double our money on him was it not worth buying him because we "only" got him for 2 seasons?

Exclusive : Xavi Spurs meeting Data lead to a Tea!!!
Revisionism and false infomation.
We fell over first hurdle, drawing with dogshit Leicester from total Romero brainfart.
We were shit throughout the last season.
4 points from 4 games.
Draw. 2 losses and 1 win. Crumbled against Woolwich and Newcastle.
And from first 7 games we got 10 points.
But sure, "started well".
I guess we've been rejected so many times that we may have learned some lessons we can take into this?
