Wow. The highs and lows of being a Spurs fan in the transfer window. A complete transfer turn around in the space of 17 minutes.
TBH, I can't see Sissoko going before we bring in someone-and not Barkley who is out till December. How's it going with Balde?
One week left of the transfer window left lads. Foyth and Sancho deals supposedly close to being announced. For us to be competitive in all competitions we will still need another 2 or 3 more signings on top of that. Fingers crossed we can get them over the line in time.
According to reports we have bid around £30m for him, a fee that Lazio seem happy with, but Balde is still holding out for Juventus who dont seem to really want him. Very talented player, woud be great if we could get him mate.
Hack logic dictates that, as Juve get Sissoko, that leaves the path clear for us to sign Balde. Because that's how clubs do their transfer business, isn't it?
Something not quite right here. Juve-a top Italian team who reach the latter stages of CL football want Sissoko ahead of Balde and we are happy with that?
Juve are the Chelsea of Italian football and have players out on loan everywhere. Balde would probably not go straight into their team and maybe not even the squad, so they're interested in a cut-price bargain as he's only got 12 months left on his contract. They can loan him out for a fee and later sell him on at a profit if he doesn't look like someone they want for the first team. If we want him that's all that matters. I've seen him a couple of times and he has talent and searing pace but would be a sizeable gamble. However, we're definitely light at the moment and I'm pretty sure that our desire to rid ourselves of Siisoko and more specifically, his wage, means Juve could approach buying him or loaning him in as a similar bargain.
Id be suprised if we let Vorm go. He is a quality back up keeper and by all accounts is very well liked and respected in the dressing room.
