Toby signs for Spurs - official.

Agree with Saint FC 76. I was about to post the following:-

I trust Saints know what they are doing. The price we would have to pay to top Spurs offer is still quite reasonable. But there are other CB's out there as well so if we feel like there is more talent per pound somewhere else, that's cool too.

If your team is well-managed, it should never be like "Player X or bust." You always have alternatives and that's why we've put so much effort into the whole black box thing.

I actually don't feel like anyone here really is being all meltdown-y over this. Some people are just accusing others of it. If you ever read Saintsweb, nothing here ever really comes close. Those guys could panic over WGS's yogurt expiry date.

 

I don't think Koeman was that confident....he was toeing the line and saying as little as possible. He repeated that Toby said in early summer that he would be happy to stay here....note, nothing more recent than that. He had a text that he wouldn't divulge. He said he only knew what we all knew (if you believe that!?!).

 

Would anyone go for a medical, if no concrete agreement had been made?

 

Even this guy is confused.

 

I'm still waiting on Spurs to announce, but if, somehow, Saints turn this around - bravo!

 

No. Its the last hurdle after agreeing transfer fee and personal terms.

I suppose it would be a moral victory if we forced Spuds to pay over the odds to get him!

 

Is there an echo?

 

I'm juggling with the idea of Katherina sitting in a large wood panelled office, Blofeld style, just saying "**** them....Reed, forget morality, bid £20 million. Levy must be beaten".

 

While rifling through her bag in case she needs to stump up a couple more million to see off Spurs.

 

I admit to be a little confused here though DTLW - a bid like that, if true, rather blows out of the water the moral stance. But yeah, I know, we have no clue what's going on in reality!

 

Buy him first then do legal battle later to get the original price, I say that't not Saintly is it?

 

Any one else find this kind of funny?

 

As far as I was aware, we were just waiting on Spurs to post the photos and announcement.

But hey, if KL and LR et al have decided to throw caution to the wind, I'm gonna be a hypocrite and get excited.

 

Despite the quotes it does seem a little too far down the line with Spurs, hope I am wrong though.

 

Any chance we could all sit back and await events....no, thought not

 

Don't be silly - we've got a Saint Gaston thread to beat
