If he blows up though then they've hedged their spend. I assume we were like "sure, £54.whatever mill - that's fine".We didn't want it at 65m??? What???
Should be a loan we could miss out on a lot money if he does wellI find the Dele to Everton links quite puzzling. I’m friends with Deles cousin(in his adopted family) and he’s very much grown up a big Liverpool fan. She’s always said that was the only team in England (in his peak) that could’ve tempted him.
i guess career comes before allegiance these days though. I do worry that selling Alli while his stock is so low (rather than after a successful loan) could make us look very silly though.
I think Trix is saying that we didn't ask for the purchase option in order to complete the deal, it was Lyon's suggestion.
He wasn't saying we don't want any money to sell the player ffs.
Phenomenal stuff by Aulas there. I bet he put that in just to rub it in with Levy how badly they fleeced us the 1st time around.65m? They won't be taking that up ?
Agree and it seemed like he was actually trying to calm the situation out rather than stoke the flamesHe’s not Jorge Mendez, granted. But he is a decent bloke, who actually works in football, who has a lot of contacts in the game and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, is a massive Spurs fan. Why the hate?
The Bruno money will be sat in their account though, might be easier to bring back someone they know rather than start the whole scouting process again€65m?????
No way Lyon activates that
I fully expect him to show his actual talent back in France. If PSG really do want him (and are able to get rid of players by the summer), this option avoids a bidding war in the summer. Still a lot more than anyone expected though...€65m?????
No way Lyon activates that
Word of advice, if you are mates with him or anyone else involved in football, there is no point in trying to defend them on a football internet forum. I have close friends that are slagged off on here on almost a daily basis.He’s not Jorge Mendez, granted. But he is a decent bloke, who actually works in football, who has a lot of contacts in the game and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, is a massive Spurs fan. Why the hate?
I've had more than one report that he did so if you missed it, then you missed it. Regardless, he's an aggregator and not for on here.I don’t recall Paul O’Keefe slagging SC off ??Also, he is an actual football agent. If you want, I could give you his mobile number, if you wanted a chat?
tier 1 for Everton
Could be they're just anchoring a price in case we want even more if he has a successful few months with them but they may not necessarily trigger it.Lyon will try to get best out of him and sell him for more than 65mio. Then activate 65mio clause and make profit.
That's my guess on their plans.
of course we did not want it. The clear idea is to get him to look good for them and then sell him for as minimal a loss as possible. They wanted a buy back back clause, so it’s £65m. They clearly won’t be able to pay that, so job doneApparently the buy clause is at their request, we didn't want it???
As in they wanted the guaranteed option to buy, we didn't want it included which is why I assume it's so high. If he goes on a stormer now for the rest of the season his value is restored because, lets face it we all know how much talent he has.We didn't want it at 65m??? What???
