tbf if we dont get a few in the media will be all over how we didn't support him in the window
Reading this damn board makes it clear that some of you have already decided that he won’t be supported this window. So so many “we all know how this ends” messages in every damn thread.

Mendes is not Traore’s agent, btw.

No one makes one move at Wolves unless Mendes tells them to do so. He was hired as an arbitrator last time we wanted him in order to "help" same thing happened when Liverpool wanted him 2-3years back. So not the agent on paper but the fucker that tells the agent what to do, say and when its time to take a dump

Sorry, i thought this was in the Adama thread, maybe i should delete it? But it is facts about the Adama situation's history.

That's why there's a hold up then

We want a loan + obligation and they want a straight sale.

I used to do that, doesn't work for anymore for some reason sadly

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to convince Wolverhampton Wanderers to allow Adama Traore to join them on loan with an obligation to buy the winger.

Wolves are likely to prefer a straight £20million deal for Traore, who Tottenham managing director Fabio Paratici has been holding talks over.

Spurs are willing to sell Steven Bergwijn, who has attracted interest from Ajax and who the Premier League club value at around £25m, and doing so could help finance a straight bid for Traore.

But Tottenham are understood to currently favour a deal that would see them take Traore on loan until the end of the season, when the transfer would then be made permanent for a set fee.

While that may not seem particularly attractive now to Wolves, they may be forced to consider such a deal with Traore approaching the final 12 months of his contract and showing little sign of signing a renewal.

Wolves could be left with the choice of agreeing a fee for Traore now and allowing him to go out on loan or seeing his value drop at the end of the season.

Another option could be for Tottenham to stagger payments for Traore with the promise of a majority lump sum being paid in the summer. The player is understood to be keen on the prospect of moving to Spurs during this transfer window.

Traore has been identified as Tottenham’s first choice to fill one of the three positions, right wing-back, that the club have prioritised trying to sign this month following a meeting between Paratici, chairman Daniel Levy and head coach Antonio Conte on Monday

Other than a right wing-back, Spurs have targeted trying to sign a midfielder and attacker. But, with available money in limited supply, the club may be forced to look at loans and players approaching the end of their contracts unless Levy can quickly attract outside investment or bring in significant transfer cash.

AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie is out of contract in the summer and has attracted the interest of Spurs, who have also been linked with Jesse Lingard, who will be out of contract at the end of the season. Paratici and Conte, though, are thought to have currently prioritised other targets over Lingard.

Tottenham’s business this month will give Conte a big indicator over whether or not the club are likely to be able to match his ambition.

So as expected, we are the ones holding up the deal, as we want to save money, you would like to think for other transfers, but you never know with this club ...

Can't read the article as it's behind a pay wall but the headline is how I've heard it was happening.

Loan to buy again points to us being completely skint.
No it doesn’t really. Why pay now when you possibly could pay later? Nothing to do with being skin, just a good practice.

edit: also as others point out, frees funds for other targets this window.

I find it hard to believe we can’t find £20million.

We're such ****s to negotiate with, always trying to get deals in 100% favour of us, not 90 or 99, 100.

It's always going to be this way under the current ownership, doesn't matter who's in charge as we've seen.

We all get let down collectively.
