If the Rags pulled out because of his personal demands there was no hope Spurs could get the deal done. He obviously stuck to his guns, no way would Levy authorise over 300k per week, he’d have a queue of players outside his office with their salary bowls, “can we also have more please?” Never a chance.

That was their story! He wasn’t interested in going there. Spurs agreed everything with both the player and the club (including Juve continuing to pay some of his wages). The problem is his image rights being owned by his former agents.

I read into that £300k/wk thing that he was asking for wages he knew United would not pay so as to kill off any possibility of a deal. I'd be surprised if he asked for anything like that from Spurs.

I think he and his agents have asked to much for Levy’s liking regardless of how it’s dressed up. I think you are correct though, bit like quoting for a job you don’t really want, put a silly price in and then amazed when you get it!!
 
@Spurs fans on here

Is Ryan Sessegnon going to start for you?

Really need to know for my draft league.

Exactly. Plus CL run. Plus a number of sales over the past two years. Plus the possible sale of Eriksen.

FWIW, Liverpool’s CL run for the previous season (for which accounts are available for) cost them nearly in bonuses as they received for getting to the final (compared with a normal 1/4 final run)

I’ve no idea!

I see no reason why not. Poch loves an attacking fullback and often rotates because of the ground they’re exopected to cover. Might not be a regular to begin with, though.

Ok cheers.
 
A solid window for Spurs no doubt. If they could somehow extend Eriksen I'd have to think their fans would be over the moon. It would appear I think playing them in matchday two will benefit us as opposed to it being a month or two later.
 
Villa capitulated eventually under the Spurs pressure. In all fairness Spurs are a decent side who will be better than last year. Kane is clinical and Eriksson just makes them tick. Next week will be a test.
 
They looked all over the shop up until the last half hour when they got a grip of Villa's flagging midfield.

Ndombele showed why we were allegedly interested.

Not sure if it was Villa flagging, Eriksen coming on, or both, but Spurs weren't getting anywhere till then. TBF Spurs controlled the game enough they shouldn't have gone behind anyway, but shit happens.

Thought that young Walker-Peters lad (RB) did well.
 
I think they’re comfortable for 3rd.
Long way off City and Liverpool.
Kane is a absolutely class striker.

It’s quite a coincidence that both Kyle Walker and Kyle Walker-Peters are right-backs.
 
Not sure why we were, if we were, interested in Ndombele. Nothing spectacular and in no way he could be Fernandinho replacement.

Spurs are good team though. When they are in full flow, their pressing and attacking waves are formidable. Hard to resist for most of other teams.
 
Villa did surprisingly well until they took Wesley off, then simply had no out ball, the young RB Walker should have been sent off for the usual Poch style of play, if you can not win the ball start a fight, but Ndombele was very good with a rocket of a shot MTM
