That's also a sign that we are trying to bring in top players though.
Judging by the latest updates I think we'll get MM and MS but at the expense of some potentially hefty outgoings such as Vlad and Sandro. There's more chance of me flipping a tiddlywink on the moon than us having a net spend of £20m+. Just the way we operate unfortunately.

In my little world of plain common sense, these third party ownerships of players would be made illegal. Sadly, they are one of the evils which poison the world's transfer markets and invite all sorts of dodgy people to get involved.

Whilst I agree with you, the Prem seems to be the anomaly. If we allowed it, we could just buy Villareal's share and River/Bankers could keep their interest, knowing full well that he's going to a top league that gains maximum exposure.

Looks like that's torpedoed that submarine then. Deal sunk without trace!
In reality though 35% of something is a whole lot better than 35% of nothing and it is probably blustering and bluffing. Spurs will just say we are going to walk away and more sense will prevail in my (very uneducated) opinion.

I think a lot of people are getting itchy for no real reason here! We sometimes hear whispers of deals as soon as Danny boy has got off the phone with an initial enquiry!
Unfortunately a transfer like this isn't like a simple debit card purchase - these things are searching for signal, pending and give and error reading a few times before it goes through!
Im confident MM and MS are our top targets and that Daniel is doing all he can to get that purchase receipt! Exciting times ahead.

I guess it all depends on Villerreal's financial position. Do they need to sell?

Spurs offer has seemingly been accepted. Villarreal are just trying to squeeze more money out of the two other parties (River & his agent).

This sounds like the real reason for the delay....I would imagine that River could be complete asses on this but the Agent you could get creative with....
I imagine they are fairly stable, but it comes down if the player wants to leave or not.
We've never 'had' to sell a player in recent years unless they've wanted out.

But we've always extracted big fees from the buying clubs for this very reason. Even if he wants out, they will want plenty of money and the only way I can see us doing a deal is if he kicks up a stink or they need the money.
Hence I would be very surprised if we sign him.

Yeah, but then we would be the ones to owe 1/3 of a player. I don't think Levy would like that.

I know what I would do on FM right about now - fire up a friendly match with River = problem solved.
(In an ironic twist, my jest actually makes a little sense here, if the club wanted to put together a South American Tour next summer...)

£17 million constitutes a big fee, especially for a defender. It's just the fact they only get 1/3 of it due to his ownership. I'm pretty sure he'd be ours by now otherwise.

We would get some pretty big crowds in Argentina I think. No money there though so no point going.

Plus, I am sure AIA is expecting an Asian tour of some kind in the not too distant future...

It wouldn't really matter too much since the other stake doesn't control the registration of the player. Even if, say Banker A sold his stake to Banker B, it wouldn't really concern Spurs, since we still hold the stake that controls player registration.

The problem here are not the third parties, but Villarreal. They were cheap enough to only buy 35% of him. They should now expect 35% of what he's worth.
They practically stole the player from River and now they have the nerve to want them to reduce their cut

Yeah, they really seem to be acting like arseholes, I always thought they were such a well run club that did things the right way. They're pissed because they tried to hoover up half of River's youth team for peanuts, and none of them came good - tough shit guys. Those are the risks of investing in footballers.

I'm amazed we're the only ones that seem to think along these lines.
Although there's always the chance that river plate and his agent could foresee him being an appreciating asset and therefore not selling 100% of his rights to Villereal.
