Transfer Rumours Tottenham in the Summer Transfer Window - 2015 Edition

If we have offered what we think he is worth why is that pissing about?

 

Because from everything that has been said and reported we were given a price bloody ages ago. So what we did was waited til the last 2hrs and then chanced our hand again almost certainly knowing what the outcome would be

 

I thought most transfers these days are paid in instalments. Are WBA so short of money that they needed the whole payment up front.

 

So you would either have given up altogether or paid more than he was worth?

 

I've got a feeling we're gonna sign a Togolese international striker for the price of 1 grovel

Exactly.

 

Sky is reporting a bid "rising to £23mill" which indicates that Levy was still trying his staged payments, which Peace was never going to go for!...

 

Those were the only 2 options. No point wasting time with ludicrous offers. Smacks of making a show of an offer, rather than actually trying to secure the player

 

They are. What peed them off was probably the nature of all the instalment clauses and performance-based mark ups Levy was no doubt trying to crowbar into the contract. I'm sure most teams would be happy receiving a £20m spread over 4 years at £5m a season. Turn the last 3 instalments into things like 'depending on goals to games ratio of 1:2' is obviously going to put clubs off.

 

No, but they hold the cards. Peace is a notoriously difficult character and was never going to back down. Even now, with staged payments, our bid is still short of their valuation. The only possible chance we had was to go in and say, "Ok £25mill, cash - take it or leave it".

 

Exactly. We do this EVERY window and ultimately end up with nobody or someone not fit to lace the boots of the original target.
Our season is on the line here. If Kane gets injured, tired (already is) or loses form we are up the creek without a paddle. How much will that cost the club next season when Kane, Lloris and Eriksen all request moves.
There is more to this game than being done over for a few million on a player we desperately need

 

Oh, should they just roll over because the massive spurs are in for one of their players? They hold all the cards, pay up or piss off, they could not have been more clear.
Levy is giving you the most embarrassing window ever, hilarious!

 

Whatever people say about WBA - £5m upfront from us is surely taking the piss?

 

You might want to move your comment to the Arsenal board

 

Woah.

Is Lamela still with us at the moment?

He will never play Jeremy Peace? Huh?

Is Jeremy Peace a game?
"I will never play, Jeremy Peace"?
Or is he just saying he will never play Peace for a fool?

 

Yes. Move to Italy didn't happen.

 

Wonder if that forces their hand?

 

It won't - Schneiderlin did the same thing last Summer

 

Could those words from saido push the move through? Never seen that from a player before. He's clearly fuming.
