Wilfried Zaha

[SpartanSpur]

Yeah but this summer I'm pretty sure they've been a tire fire of trash on us. They've been heavily snorting the Kane and Poch leaving dust.

Good point. They also reported that Tripps and Lloris were Madrid bound. No idea if the same journos though and Herc hinted something would break tonight.

 

[George94]

If true, 45m is very good value in this market.

We won't sign him for £45m ... reckon it'll take £55m plus add-ons

 

[luRRka]

Anyone got any idea what this means? Apologies in advance if I'm missing the obvious, it's been a long one today

I'm guessing it's laughing at the fact they have said we want to get rid of moura. I.e we don't want to

 

[dagraham]

I read it as 45 mil plus 15 in add ons. Probably a fair deal all things considered. 30 was what Chelsea offered plus Drinkwater, all falls in line with what ITK told us today. Only part that is unnerving is Lucas & Serge.

Couldn’t give a monkeys myself if we were open to selling Aurier.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Tomorrow's papers usually get released around 10.30 so will be interesting if anything pops up...

That optimistic rating aged well Wiganspur

(Yes The Sun counts, just)

 

[punkisback]

I read it as £45 rising to £60m with add ons. Sell on fee does not sound very Levy though.

Quite a few things seemed off in that article actually, I'd be surprised if we were binning Moura off already, especially for no profit. Made out Grealish was an alternative to Zaha/Martial too.

But it does all fit in well with Herc's ITK as the Sun were good on us last summer.

Sell on fee would be completely Levy, we're about Zaha's level I don't think he can really take another step up. He's probably going to finish his playing days with us or go back to palace on a free when he's in his early 30s; so there'll be no percentage of a fee to pass on for him. People forget he's mid twenties, we've probably got about 4/5 years tops left at top level for an agile winger like him.

Just been reading a similar argument where it was pointed out that sell-ons and add-ons are, historically, actually all the hallmarks of a levy deal.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Here's a load of bollocks that's week old

According to the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha could become Tottenham Hotspur’s first summer signing this week.

Palace want £60 million for the winger, according to The Sun, but Spurs are hopeful of doing a deal for him.

Mauricio Pochettino has been a long-term admirer of Zaha, and a transfer could reportedly be completed within the very near future.

If Zaha does arrive at Spurs it would finally be a statement of intent, after what has been a slow summer so far.

Tottenham are yet to make a signing, after missing out on a number of their targets.

The Sun is just a fiddlefuck of words and ink

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Unnerving an over reaction but I would like to try him out for another season.

If we got a good offer in I would take it. In the 2 pre season games he's been at fault for a goal in each game.

But the chelsea bid 30m + drinkwater fits what the itk said.
That said, i dont think lucas and aurier will go

The 30 mill is laughable though

I did consider that but it's still a not very Levy thing. If he did a Salah (don't think he would) and then acted a dick for a move that would sting us (doesn't seem to be doing this to Palace). If he didn't work out we'd lose an even bigger chunk of the 'cutting losses' price.

 

[SpartanSpur]

They are probably valuing him at £30m there. £60m seems to be the magic number.

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Chelsea is laugable indeed

 

[synththfc]

Wouldn't doubt if Chelsea don't go back in for him now that Willian seems to be staying

 

[dfree]

I think 50 + add-ons, in addition to a player heading the opposite way (GKN?) would be a fair deal

 

[Mr Gamgee]

Tottenham: Ali, Son, Zaha, Erikson, Moura, Lamela,

Man City: Sterling Mahrez De Bruyne B.Silva D.Silva Sane

Liverpool: Salah, Shaqiri, Mane, Keita, Wijnaldum,

Man Utd, Rashford, Sanchez, Lindgard, Martial, Pogba/mata

Arsenal: Ozil, Ramsey, Welbeck, Mkhitayan, Lacazette

Chelsea: Willian, Hazard, Pedro, loftes Cheek, fabreags,

If it does happen. How do you thnk
We compare to our competitors in terms of attacking midfield.

I think Man City are a level above and maybe Liverpool are slightly better but I’d compare us similar to the other three, but with the best striker in the league, in front of them I don’t see a reason why we can’t compete near the top again

 

[Danny B]

Not sure what people expected, we were told it was the same source that rose did the interview with last summer and they've embellished slightly with the moura/aurier stuff. it's the sun the best you can hope for is a 50% credible piece.

I reckon 85% of that 50% is credible.

A fee has been agreed the sun need to keep up
