Ilaix Moriba

Let's remember it's an Agency not an agent - nothing groundbreaking but it's not the player after the pay day

Could this be another transfer where we can use Mendes’ influence? It seems we are friendly with him, surely he could exert a little bit of pressure on another agency if he is as nefarious as we are led to believe?

 

[gibbospurs]

You right but age is a key factor. You can't pay a youngster that type of money. You inviting attitude problems and up and coming academy played will want the same. When he's a fully fledged member of the team producing commanding performance then yes. Or else we end up with another Tanguy Ndombele.

Also Sarr has literally just signed a deal. I’m guessing it’s not anywhere near that money. How is he gonna be feeling if we bung this guy £100k +. Can’t be true.

 

[gibbospurs]

100k for a teenager? Per week? Can’t happen

Another negative rating from @tiger666 ? Wish we could hear your reasoning occasionally rather than neg repping all the time mate?

Yes I was thinking this too. We have Japhet who has broken into the team on nowhere close to those numbers either I imagine.

Age is irrelevent imo. All that matters is ability/potential. Also, disagree isn't a negative rating.

 

[gibbospurs]

So apparently we wouldn’t pay ings 125k a week who will score 15 goals a year and able to play with and cover Kane but we will pay a kid who could drop either way?? About sums us up tbf. What happened to the thinking of one striker in/ 2 if Kane moves on anyway?

Also @SpursTillIDie1882 ??

Thanks for replying mate. But you genuinely feel breaking every weekly payment basis for a kid who might come good over everyone else currently working hard and not earning that? Also like I said we wouldn’t sign Ings apparently as he wanted 125k per week? But would of solved so many issues that we’ve needed for years?

Its actually £150K a week aka £7,800,000M a year plus bonuses and 80% chance he is injured for at least 2/3 months or much worse with his injury situation / record, its a huge gamble , plus your forgetting the 30M fee to sign him to sign him and he is 29.... its a huge risk .. if you could guarantee no injury yes he would scores goals yes, but huge probability of him being injured , so i dont think you can be so blahzay about it.... Moriba is one for the future as opposed ready made fit but he actually could be potentially.

Your comparing 2 very different players, style, position etc ... comparing a 29 yrs old striker with huge injury issues and one big injury form ending a career to an 18 yr old who is a MID not a striker is rather stupid to be honest

Whatever mate, I meant in a conversation way. Not bothered about my ratings. Rather meant negative view ?

Yes I do. To be honest you just sound a bit bitter we didn't go for Ings who supposedly wanted £150k.

Do you not think it unhealthy for a player in his teens to earn that kind of money at such an early age though. I get he ability and talent thing you referring too.... I forsee problems when you throw that much in front of a guy bakery out of his teens.

I don't really care about any of that. £100k a week, £20k a week, it's all insane money for a teenager. All I care about is getting the best young players in Europe to Spurs. Those players will sometimes cost a lot, whether in transfer fees or wages.

Ings who is as injury prone as our own chocolate ankle forward, and is 29.

I don’t know how you can’t see that’s completely different.

I also wouldn’t pay too much attention - ever - to the amounts of transfer fees and wages you see on the internet.

Lol. Love that last bit ?. I won’t bite tho as on my last life on here. Our transfers are key to getting back into the cl. Signing multiple 18 year olds with potential won’t get us back in this year or next. And I was discussing wages of players. Regardless of what position they play. Is your weekend name mystic Meg by the weekend? How on earth do you think ings is 80% gonna crock it ?. Now that is a stupid thing to say. Any player is one tackle away from ending their career pal.

 

[hellava_tough]

I think it's fair to pay the going market rate in any industry, regardless of age.

Whether or not that will lead to problems for the employee is another question.

 

[Chirpystheman]

If we rate the kid that highly, you pay the wages. Stick him on 100k a week. If he performs to his potential you suddenly have a 80-100m player on your hands and you can cash in. Seen a lot of worry about his agents etc etc. If they start agitating for a move then it shows something is going right on the field. If we can quadruple our investment in a couple of years then that makes great financial sense to do this deal. Barca want to keep him so that tells us something. Hopefully Hopefully contract is 4 years with an option of a 5th.

 

[gibbospurs]

It’s not that I’m bitter!! Why would I be bitter? I just know we’ve a gapping hole up top that’s needed filling for years and once again we will be left short. So wanting 150k for goals is too much but paying 120k for some kid is practical?

Not his fault and you don’t actually know the figures. To me all I’ve seen are training videos of someone working really hard on different aspects of his game. Don’t know if it’s his own time but it shows a commitment to being the best. If that starts to come true he’ll have even more thrown at him. You can talk ethical morally whether that’s acceptable but the individual will be the difference in how it effects them. Think for most footballers the ego is already going to be there the moneys part of the trappings.

Agree with you, so paying Ings £150k a week to bang in goals is fair? So why didn’t we do the deal? Because we want Traore to not score and probably pay him the same? And get an 18 year old on a 4 year contract on £100k a week then more than likely say we can’t shift him in 2 years as he’s on too much money?
