Federico Fazio

[Don_Felipe]

What have those two got to do with buy out clauses?

Not buy outs - but they could be bought without us wanting to sell them... I think (memory of Klinsmann is a bit hazy)

 

[faulks]

Without meaning to bring you down from the ceiling, surely we've just agreed the buy out fee.
We'd still need to do personal terms and a medical?

It wasn't a buyout per say, more of a contract termination as we've completely side stepped Seville and actually paid the league directly.

As we've effectively paid his own contract termination on his behalf (similar situation Herera) I'm slightly inclined to think we've agreed to his personal terms, I doubt Levy would wire over 10 million Euros otherwise.

I doubt a CB at Sevilla is on wages we can't match. I would be amazed if this falls through. Although I'd be far more excited at some transfer news regarding Schnerderlin or another forward.

If this reporter calls this a saga I wonder what would happen if he was informed about Leandro!

@RarrochaR: I can confirm that Fazio is new player of Tottenham. Official.

Not that I'm saying we won't sign him, but it's not all about money.
Didn't we offer Villa more last summer?

 

[Paq]

Hoping this guy can become our Hyypia. Could potentially have a great partnership with Verts.

 

[brasil_spur]

I'd love to risk it and start him on Sunday.

It worked out pretty well with Dier, who was less experienced, so see no reason why it wouldn't work with Fazio too.

The Tottenham way...

I for one am glad that one manager over the last 15 years has realised it might help if our defence was strengthened, first things first.

 

[brasil_spur]

Is Fazio a 'hard man' type player or more of a 'gentle giant' type? We've had a lot of passive types in our defence (and team) over the years, would be good to have some 'steel' and a bit of toughness to call on for once (red cards and too many yellows permitting of course).

He gut punched Diego Costa pretty hard last season during a game, if that helps give an indication

Fazio has presented the document to LFP showing that Spurs have paid his release clause. Fazio is OFFICIALLY a Spurs player. #THFC #Fazio

 

[THFCSPURS19]

But:

Spurspanyol ‏@Spurspanyol 42s
Despite what was reported earlier - I'm guilty as well - Fazio is NOT currently in London (so hasn't had or 'passed' a medical yet).

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Spurspanyol @Spurspanyol · 26s
A representative of Tottenham appeared before La Liga and presented the document showing that Spurs have buyout his contract. 1/2
Spurspanyol ‏@Spurspanyol 23s
Fazio should be announced as a Spurs player (pending medical) as soon as this afternoon. 2/2

Fazio punching Costa in the gut

 

[prawnsandwich]

"The saga is over." Do you even Morgan Schneiderlin?

That sounds odd.

Is there any video of this?

I know what you mean. I just have visions of Ade doing his knee on 2nd Sept and I don't think we have enough without him.

La LFP me dio el OK a la operación de Fazio hace una hora. Se lo pueden preguntar a M. Gurruchaga, responsable de las fichas de la LFP

The LFP gave me the OK to Fazio operation an hour ago. They may ask what M. Gurruchaga, responsible for the LFP chips


No idea what the Tweet means still. Fucking useless Google.

Here we go:

Spurspanyol ‏@Spurspanyol 43s
The LFP - via M. Gurruchaga, head of transfers - informed @RarrochaR an hour ago that Fazio's contract has been bought out by Spurs.
