    That's not news either mate, usually it goes something like "we want 50, we will give you 42, no chance 48 or forget it, ok what about 45, call it 46 and we have a deal.
    Your lot go in 20M short and get told whereto go, but at least you tried <laugh>

    Agreed, not in a million years.

    Hojbjerg is our third best player after Kane and Son. One of the first names on the team sheet and should be next in line to take the captaincy if Lloris leaves at the end of the season.

    Aurier's gone, Spurs have confirmed it on Instagram, weird they haven't tweeted it yet.

    As I already pointed out, we didn't go £20m short. If we had, then we definitely did the right thing by walking away.
    Your lot, on the other hand, did offer Atletico over €20m short of their valuation for Trippier, then went back in with another bid of roughly the same amount.

    Crap decision, unless he's agreed to forfeit all of his wages and we know he's going to a foreign side 100%.

    You need to go on a negotiating course mate. That is literally exactly how not to do it.

    For once you're right. Lo Celso's an attacking midfielder and Hojbjerg can play as a holding midfielder or box-to-box.

    Nah you're not wrong but no one really knows what Lo Celso actually does or where he should play but the general idea is somewhere in the middle of the pitch, either alongside or in front of Hojbjerg - but certainly not instead of!

    You didn't go in £20m Short?

    £50m - £30m looks like a £20m difference to me <laugh>

    He's got no end product and way too inconsistent. He's worth 20 million, at the most.

    Because they didn't value him at £50m when we bid for him.
    Back to being wrong, again.

    Weird how a lot of clubs get players they really want at below the asking price yet others just try :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Nothing wrong going in 20 million short to get a feel for where everybody is really at, mate.

    Explains why he wasn't in the U23s today.

    I have really enjoyed my time at Spurs and would like to thank the Club and the fans, but I feel now is the right time for me to move onto a new challenge.”

    Your example had the first bid at £18m less than the offer......that £2m makes all the difference?
