Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

I hope that this wasn't a revelation to anyone at the club, as it's on his transfermarkt profile:
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luis-diaz/profil/spieler/480692
"FC Porto holds 80% of the transfer rights." Doesn't mention who owns the other 20%, though.
Could be his old Colombian club, Junior FC. Could be some agent bullshit.

 

Are you Mrs RCL...?
That's how she describes me

 

That's far too nice of a compliment to give to you.

 

You're not doing bad then.

 

Are you one of my daughter's?

 

Too right...every other mofo hates the sight of me

 

I knew I wouldn't get away with this facade forever...surprised it's taken you so long to notice.



Hope she doesn't read my posts and divorce you....

 

He's alot smarter, in business, than most, if not all, of us on here.
Who else , who is moaning about the chairman and owner, runs a £multi-billion company?

 

Perfectly reasonable to blame Levy for not bidding higher as that might have been accepted. Every player has a price.
It's the claim that an earlier bid of the same amount would have got the deal done that I think is wrong.

 

doesn’t mix it well with the football bit imo and that is the bit that interests me the most

 

He is also a lot smarter at running a football club than most others who try to. Even our transfer record is more than OK over the ENIC period. It's just we are now at the point when we need to find players who are genuinely worth £40m plus to improve the starting XI and that is very hard.

 

Which is why we need a top notch Director of Football to overhaul the way that we do things.
We can't really sign established superstars, so we need to do things differently.

 

Nandos?

 

"Valencia are pushing for Tanguy Ndombélé!
The Spanish club has already agreed with Tottenham (loan for 6 months).
The player always favors PSG and gives himself time to think."

Supposedly a reliable source, but this sounds like bullshit.

 

Hope he does well, as he's been successful in the PL2 this season.
The Mackems just signed Patrick Roberts and they're both right-wingers, so I don't really get this.

 

Valencia, Barcelona, same thing...

 

Apparently it’s his former club who have the remaining 20% so it’s basically a sell-on clause. So less complicated than agents having a share.

 

As long as it isn;t relatives, because if they own the 20% we may as well wait for his Porto contract to expire two years from now...

 

It's not wrong though because the asking price would've been there for Spurs to match from day one where we initially offered just £3m and Onomah, we further lowballed for about 6 or so weeks and when we did finally meet it around a week before the deadline, Villa no longer needed the money and essentially gave us the middle finger.

It's a deal Levy entirely ballsed up. A deal that's also somewhat haunted us because Grealish may have prevented us from signing one or even both of Ndombele and Lo Celso the following year, not forgetting we could've potentially made a huge profit on him considering what he eventually went to City for. Levy probably more than any Spurs fan must have been livid when he saw that.
