I think @Trix 's info tells us that Soldado is leaving as well, as he always said 2 in, but a third (another forward player) would be very possible if we moved on certain players, which I assumed to mean both Adebayor and Soldado, with the latter never being a nailed-on outgoing.

Thanks for the info.

Fuck me, this is my 20,000th post.

I need help.

(Not as much as @mikeeegreen though)

Do you realise that is one post per hour, every hour of the day, every day of the year, since you joined?
FFS, don't you have anything else to do?

Talking about stamp duty I think stoof will be using that this week courtesy of Lyon ....
No read only just for the loyal followers in here

There will be a lot of unhappy people on here if it turns out we're resigning Steed.

Between Rebrab earlier today and JJ just now- I think we can be quite optimistic that we have tied up the deal for N'jie. Although no definites untill we see it officially announced of course.

N'jie is certainly a good start but we definitely need some bona-fide first teamer from the outset in the attacking trio with obvious reference to Berahino.

Interesting to see if we follow up an impressive display by Embolo too as he may emerge as a strong candidate but what with Pritchard looking very good today you do wonder what direction Poch/Mitchell will go down.

And I'm talking about how from a fan's perspective, it's not about a buyers or sellers role in a deal. Fans shouldn't be expected to view the dealings of Spurs from the same perspective as managers and owners, because it doesn't necessarily suit the fan's interest. Fans are not direct stakeholders in buying players, they are indirect stakeholders. As such, The parameters for a "good" and a "bad" deal are different.

It's interesting that you mention value for money. Good value for money for a owner is buying cheap players who can play football. Good value of money for a fan is seeing good entertainment on the pitch relative to the ticket price. They don't necessarily align very well, and that's OK.


Lambrini? Is that some cheap brand?
Hey, I'm not saying that the fan's perspective is the most correct one. I'm saying that is a natural one to have, regardless of how "right" or "wrong" it is.

So, what you're saying is, whatever you want to think is correct. Not what is actually an accurate or intelligent way to think. You are defending someone's persistent ignorance on the basis that "well it's not natural to think about why things are actually happening".

As much as it appears to be a futile attempt, I am trying to get people to think how the club might be thinking. A sentence like "we don't pay the selling clubs what they want" is not a sentence that can be left untouched. I'm posting about why a business may be thinking like that based on real life examples of how you, as an individual, may buy something.

In the same way that my mates want me to buy a house with a big fucking swimming pool and will be fucked off if I don't, my needs as a house-buyer are that I pay the right price for the right quality of house in the right area regardless of how many beers they bring round.
