Jan Vertonghen Signs

[Mr Pink]

Rémy seems to be a better goalscorer and can play wide and up front. We'd get a new striker, and Lennon competition all in one. Dembélé has only scored 2 goals all season and seems to lack end product. Fantastic dribbler of the ball and no doubt a good player but I'm not sure he's what we need.



If it means getting our man early before interest from others I think I'd prefer that Levy spends the extra 3m but then again I don't know how much we need that 3m and what our budget is.

Oh I would like Dembele all right, think he looks very good. BMJ has only really played him further up the pitch recently IIRC.

I think there is a lot more goals in him, that's for sure.

@jouracule: Spurs initial bid for Vertonghen: €12M, rejected, Ajax holding out for €15M. Negotiations between the clubs resume this week (Voetbal Int'l)

This is the story at the moment though the numbers aren't quite accurate.
Ajax want silly money.
personal terms etc completed weeks ago, player wants to come, Ajax are now in a price rise fix job!!
Here we go again ......

He will sign though mate

 

[Mr Pink]

this will no doubt drag for quite some time then, and they obviously want to attract more bids...

 

[JJetset]

He will sign though mate

Over to Daniel now.....

 

[ryantegan]

Over to Daniel now.....

But he will sign

Just hope its sooner rather than later.

How many times have we heard that! Could be our cb for the next 8/10 years. Get it done dan.

 

[CJMurray]

15m for a centre back in his last year of his contract is pretty ridiculous. 12m is a bit much in all honesty.

That said, he is a very very good player and one we would be silly to pass up on. Just got to pray that Levy isn't too stubborn about it.

Our leader has spoken!

All these figures would be euros I'd assume as they're coming from dutch papers. It'll be 8-9 mill pounds I'd guess

Bit more than that, exchange rate would give around just over £10mil for €13mil

Although JJ says the €12mil is wrong so we don't know if the figure is higher or lower

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

at page 107 or so i can see the news coming: Vertonghen wears red next season...

I'm simply not convinced we can get someone like him... but that would be such a massive signing. Great centre back who can help out in defensive midfield and left back, at this price who is available and better? Go for it Levy...please just make him sign a contract as early as possible

By early for Levy do you mean 10am on August 31st? personally think that will still be too late although we might get Modric sold by 12pm

Over to Daniel now.....

If you're still here, "Harry simply needs to win the last 3 games if he wants to keep his job!!" well he didn't, we came 4th still, does said quote still apply?

 

[Mr Pink]

Over to Daniel now.....

to be continued....





























On the 31st August at 11.55 pm....

 

[Spurvert]

We want to pay £8m they want closer to £13m

In that area JJ?

That, detective, is the right question...

 

[tommyt]

Have you and Dan fallen out jj? The winking smilies don't fool me.

 

[eddiev14]

I guess the question is whether we could buy an alternative, who is just as good, for less than what they want.

If the answer is no then we should cough up.

 

[Mr Pink]

Mail saying we are offering 7 million, they want 9.
