  2. I suspect the price-tag is as much Levy telling clubs "keep the **** away!" as much as anything, Tel.

    That's all it is, there's nothing else to it. If he genuinely believed he was worth £200m then he'd have to pay him a salary that reflected that and that would shatter your wage structure, he'd be on something ridiculous like £500k a week.

  4. I don't think it makes any difference.

    Kane has been the best striker in the Prem for two seasons on the trot, he's young, a natural born leader, he's English, and he's owned by Levy on a long contract.

    Is there really anyone out there who genuinely believes that nothing short of a very silly offer would even tempt Levy to sell?

  6. Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale, 27, is open to a move to Manchester United.(Daily Star)

    <doh>
    Zidane was recently quoted as saying that there was no way he would consider selling Bale.

  8. So, Akky, you don't believe that Mahrez will end up at Arsenal, then?

    I get the feeling he's considered a true one season wonder and clubs aren't willing to take a chance (at least nowhere near the price Leicester want for him)

    Everyone wants to sign an EPL title winner Quents ... particularly a player that was so instrumental in such a stunning title winning team ... look what happened to Chelsea after they signed one last season eh? <ok>

    Fair point, so why do you think there hasn't been a stampede for his signature thus far?

    Of course not, Levy is shrewd when it comes to sales and nobody can deny that. I don't envisage any immediate problems for Spurs with regards to holding on to players they want to keep.

    Well we're reliably informed on here that they don't want to keep him. That'll probably apply to any player who is sold by them from now on.

    Shock horror! Spud fans turn on those that want out with we don't need him or Bale, Modric, Berbatov & Carrick.

    Probably because his attitude stinks. He thinks we should sell him on the cheap because clubs won't pay the asking price despite also thinking he is too good for us despite not showing up last season!
    I hope he doesn't stay and start ahead of Gray this season as Gray is the one we should nurture. If Mahrez stays because nobody signs him I'll be disappointed if he stunts the progress of others
