Only way I see this happening is if we sell Rose to them or we give them some sort of right of first refusal on Rose's eventual sale. Don't think the latter is enough incentive for them to strengthen us when we are a better side than them.

I love the fact that they won't sell to us. Makes me feel like we are important and that we're a threat.
However clubs don't make official bids unless a fee has been mooted or agreed - am I right ?
In which case we approached Utd and they told us to fuck off or we are trying to boil some Old Trafford piss.

Just thought I'd have a look on Redcafe to see what they are saying about this and none of them want to lose him. They all seem to hate Levy too for some reason.

Because we're not letting them buy any of our players, the arrogance is beyond belief with that lot.

They hate Levy because he and by the same extension, spurs in general, won't bend over and take it up the arse from them and chuck them all our talent.

Glory hunting, know-nothing bunch of ****s

"Kane and Alli + £25m"

"Swap for Alli"

"I'd prefer Martial to Alli"

Are they mental?!?!
What a bunch of unpleasant entitled whiners! I'm so glad that growing up in the north of England I chose Spurs as my other team (as well as the local fourth division club) when all my friends were supporting United.

Hertyid has said "Poch won't be selling Rose this summer".

That was in relation to us swapping him for Martial.

I wonder if we are agreeing to give UTD first option on Rose next summer, as part of trying to get Martial this window.

mourinho is scared of us. He has been saying all summer we're contenders because we kept our best players. He's under massive pressure to deliver the title this season. He isn't going to make us stronger and make his job harder. He's not stupid.
Not stupid, just a complete ****.

I agree mate and have said as much, constantly.

But this would change it somewhat because we'd be gaining immediately in signing a potentially world class player that United paid north of 50 million for, not some shitty makeweight in a deal.

It's like for like in terms of stature, and that alters the entire perception of selling Rose imo.

Clever from Levy this, as we need this sort of player.

Even so, it would still mean we sold a player just because he mouthed off to press. We don't want other players to see that as a way out in the future.

Will The Enfield Independent claim that Anthony Martial is "desperate to join Spurs", and will all the other media sources jump on the bandwagon and repeat drip drip stories over and over again claiming the same thing and will it last for days, with rehashed quotes saying he's desperate to leave Utd for Spurs ?

Would love Martial but no way Utd will strengthen us. Him, Alli, Eriksen, Son, Lamela and Nkoudou as options behind Kane would be exceptional atracking midfield depth. In addition, he could play up front too. Sadly I think this is one that just isn't going to happen.

Reports at the time were that he signed a 4-year deal, with an option for a fifth year. Anyone know how those options usually work? Is it 100% the club's ability to exercise, or does the player need to agree as well?
