Spurs about to be screwed?

[Mental_Geir]

It was a big thing in Norway a few years back when Stabæk and Vålerenga did the same thing when the last one was buing the striker Pall Gunnarsson. They tried to buy a 16 year old at the same time, paying more for the 16year old than for Gunnarsson, which ment that the french club Nancy got screwed and didn't get their money. I can't remember how this saga ended, but it was a big case in the media, and both clubs had som explaining to do, both to to the Norwegian FA, and also UEFA as far as I remember.

Football = dodgy business. Dodgy business = Levy. So i guess we should keep our mouths shut

Didn't we screw United out of a wheelbarrow full of money with the Fryers deal?

It's all swings and roundabouts

They were demanding £6m for a guy who had made about three first team appearances, which we quite rightly didn't want to pay. If this is what Mallorca are doing they're trying to avoid paying a contractual obligation. Completely different situations.

Spurs are due 50% of Gio's transfer fee, which at this moment appears to be around €6-7m. #THFC

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani dos Santos has joined Villarreal on a four-year deal.
Why do I care? Is what you’re probably asking yourself right now. Well, Daniel Levy has once again showed his business acumen by netting us £3.5million of the transfer fee which Villarreal have paid to sign the Mexican.
When Dos Santos was sold to Mallorca last summer, a 50% future sell-on clause was included in the contract which has given us half of the £7million fee.
Another shrewd piece of business, but only if the money is given to Baldini and AVB to land us a decent striker. We were all on a high last week following the signing of Paulinho and the club need to follow up by delivering us a world class forward before the new season kicks off.
