Not so sure about the "some doubt".

Iirc correctly, Forest (maybe others) were quoted less than Spurs. Why should we have to pay more ??

Money wouldn't last long if we just paid what every Tom, Dick and Harry wanted, especially when others have been quoted less.

Agree with this.

Also important to remember whilst it is great we are pushing the boat out and investing in the team properly. We don't want to become known as a team that pays over the odds to get who we want on every deal.

Every club will try and take us for a ride in future if we get that reputation. Player wants to come so we bide our time, sure it will be done ready for Korea in any case.

Yep. We're certainly not in the habit of being held to ransom, nor should we.

I completely agree with our hard stance negotiating with boro. But more than any other signing I want him to have as much time with Conte in preseason as possible. He's got to put a lot of work in to get up to the rest of the squad's standards.

I'll say it again.

I was told it was very close and that it would be wrapped up by the start of next week.

I have no reason to believe that isn't the case.

There is an impasse I am afraid

I like Hercules but I also like Hotspur88.

Yep. Let's see how this plays out now. We feel Gibson is taking the piss. We are already at a fee quite a bit higher than Forest were prepared to pay and we won't go any more.

Gibson's stubbornness could well cost him a few mil here. FP has been instructed to progress his other options.

Good full back though I'm sure we can Survive with him and Docherty
Surviving was getting to the end of season with Doherty and Emerson (mainly Emerson) next season is massive we can’t just have a position where we are weak, I like Emerson but he’s not good enough for this conte system

Probably the way forward, hope we get him! I feel he could be great for us.

Noone else seems to be in for him, so unless they now want to keep him or send him out on loan we can just sit tight.

Doherty can start the first few games while Spence gets up to speed.
