Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[alex hamilton]

This deal will happen. It makes sense that it would.

 

[Steffen]

8 million euros a year, thats... 135K pounds a week?

Paulinho is completely different in almost way, lucas has game changing abilities he just hasn't been able to showcase them at PSG as much as most people though.

Let's hope so.



I actually liked (and still like) Paulinho and am happy that he's doing well since leaving us but it was just never a good fit.

If this transfer happens, does this count as a major coup for us?

(serious question, I don't pretend to know sod all about players outside of the UK)

Only if he plays well.

We're not a club who just relies on pulling the odd transfer rabbit out of the hat these days.

We need substance from our transfers. Not just the fun of the transfer hunt.

 

[RJR1949]

French web sites are claiming that Moura is in London finalising the transfer. Below is one example. It could even be true.

Puisque ce jeudi soir, France Football annonce que l'attaquant brésilien est actuellement à Londres pour négocier son transfert définitif vers Tottenham

doable - assuming we are issuing new contracts to existing key players.

 

[synththfc]

The bit at end makes me doubt info a bit. £33m fee ok but 154k euro a week?

If the info is accurate, maybe this tells us something about new deals being agreed...

 

[tiger666]

8 million euros a year, thats... 135K pounds a week?

Maybe doable now the stadium is coming and we've finally stopped paying in Monopoly money.

 

[St José Dominguez]

doable - assuming we are issuing new contracts to existing key players.

If it was true then it's the first clear proof of a massive change in our wage structure. Which would as good a news as the signing itself.

@Hercules has alluded to this being the case. Wage scale going up.

Wait!!! Don't move those goal posts yet.......

 

[samsonlevi]

I for one am very excited by him being added to our squad and being a real option for changing a game either coming on from the bench or starting.

 

[worcestersauce]

8 million euros a year, thats... 135K pounds a week?

Probably won't be that much but nevertheless I think Hercules' ITK would lead me to believe all contracts are going to be increased so that may not be quite as outlandish as it seems.
Once upon a time information like we are getting at the moment meant it wasa sure thing but I bet not many of us are ready to start the party yet, it's the hope.....

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

This definitely seems to have ramped up in the media over the past hour. I can't say i'm massively excited - seems like a Brazillian Townsend - but he's an upgrade on Sissoko so there is a positive.

 

[Steffen]

Is Sissoko the one we expect to be replaced in the CL squad, if Moura comes?

He's much much better than Townsend. My concern is giving up on Malcom.

Take it you’re new round here?

RMC saying Moura met with Levy in London today.

Edit - they're also saying that his salary proved to be a sticking point today.
