    All good until he forces a move, refuses to sign a contract and goes for nothing.

  4. Hm.

    I think it's more the case that you don't know how this works with Levy. I can forgive you for that, since Leicester won't ever be in a position to test him with one of our stars.

    Let me teach you how this works.

    Spurs nurture a player that every professional pundit agrees is a World Class talent - no, STOP! I'm not bothered by what feeble-wumster fans like you think! - and Levy makes it clear, to both player and potential bidder to save their breath and **** off, as the player isn't for sale AT ANY PRICE.

    The potential bidder perhaps makes the mistake of ignoring that advice and makes an approach, so Levy slaps a "go and **** yourself!" price-tag on the player's head, and the bidder ****s off.

    It's a simple but effective formula that Levy invented, Akky.
    <ok>

    Personally, on current evidence, Kante is certainly superior to Pogba.

    It's just the market that dictates that forwards and attacking mids cost more than other players.

    Is there an "irritating little twat" box, because if so, that ought to ad a few mill. Let's face it, Alli has the potential to achieve Diego Costa levels of utter ****ishness. That must be worth something.

    Name any pundit who says Ali is already World Class Tyler.

  10. Name a single Spurs player who has done that.

    Judas doesn't count, because he lied to the board about his intentions, and denied Levy the opportunity of fleecing Arsenal for a sum that they could have ill-afforded (and which Judas knew full well).

    The reality is, that Levy never willingly sells any of our stars, and makes it absolutely clear that they are not for sale AT ANY PRICE.

    If a player puts in a transfer request and it is clear that we are not going to be able to hold on to the player, Levy slaps on a world-beating price-tag. His tactic with Modric and Bale was to ensure that they each went for over-the-odds-money to a club outside the Prem.

    Do you honestly think it will be different with any of our current stars?

    But do you think players like Alli will want to stay at Spurs or do you think they want to go and win trophies?

    If Alli is a world class talent then he won't be hanging about. He'll want to be earning a ****ing shed load in a massive mansion with a massive swimming pool full of women somewhere boiling hot where he'll win Champions League after Champions League after League title after League title.

    Daniel Levy can decide not to sell him all he likes. So long as Alli is onside that will be fine.

    But the moment Alli comes out and says that he want to go and win trophies (as he inevitably will) then Levy loses his bargaining power.

    Perhaps so.
    All I am trying to do is add up the tick boxes and roughly see what Alli will
    right now cost the fools at those football clubs with more money than sense. :)

  14. David Pleat, Ian Wright, Adrian Durham, Darren Gough, Alan Brazil, Chris White, Graham Roberts... and those are only the pundits that I have heard directly say it.

    The door's over there, Skids. Use it.

    Name a single Spurs player who has been anywhere near world class? This Spurs side is unprecedented Spurs history during the 'money era' of football. You've never had a squad like the one you have now.

    Modric and Bale are the two that were pushing world class for you and both went the very second that they reached that level. You got 110m for the pair, I'd say Real got a great deal and, more importantly, Modric and Bale got the deal of their lives. Something Alli will have in mind.
