Player Paulo Dybala

[Amo]

What I don't get is why we didn't try to work out these image rights earlier?

A deal this complex can't be left to the final hours to reach an agreement with so many parties involved.

Surely we should of worked on the image rights first and then haggled with Juve?

And we could of avoided these last minute negotiations if the image rights wernt resolved...

We've known for weeks and we pulled out before bidding again in the last few days. Seems a bit wasteful (of what the club deems a rare opportunity). Or purposeful.

Miguel Delaney says a "permanent" deal before the deadline is definitely off

 

[Anurag Jo]

Can they do a loan with an option to buy?

It buys more time to sort out the image rights issue.

Thats a brand new idea!

For all we know they have been increasing their payoff demands by £1m an hour, they'll always try and get the most money.

Exactly what I was saying yesterday. I assume before we made a bid we would have done background work to find out what needs to be done to sort them out.

I'm guessing it's down to the image rights company playing hardball. Court proceedings are pending and reports had been that they think they could potentially receive a judgment of up to €40m in the case, our offer to buy them out must not have been sufficient for them to give up the cause and their demands too high for us to agree to.

So we have pulled out? There is another meeting with Dybala?? Wtf is going on here!?

He said earlier there was going to be another meeting early afternoon - the one he's referencing in the tweet. Says we are definitely pulling out after that second meeting

Agresti again. Sounds over after a failed meeting this afternoon.

New meeting in the early afternoon between #Juventus , #Tottenham and entourage #Dybala : another black smoke regarding the image rights. The Spurs are definitely pulled out ⛔️??@GoalItalia

So they went for lunch break lol

Fucking pathetic that something that has nothing to do with football can stop a deal between two clubs. I hope the company that own the image rights crash and burn. Fuck off assholes.

Thanks Dude! So much flying around right now, I can't keep up!

Anti climax ...

 

[The Long Suffering One]

Hate to use this word, but how Spursy that we have missed out on this deal not due to the transfer fee or wages (2 things that we love to blame Levy and the club in general for transfers-wise, rightly or wrongly) but on something so bloody random like image rights? Unbelievable..

Money and the mitigation of tax has EVERYTHING to do with modern day football.

 

[dfree]

Delaney saying they've explored loan but still difficult, just want this to end tbh

 

[razor1981]

Delaney on loan option...

 

[IamSpurtacus]

Not sure how reliable...



"Tottenham had managed to convince Juventus to help them pay Paulo Dybala's wages. They agreed to it - but Juventus withdrew after Spurs asked for help paying his image rights. Spurs might've pushed harder but weren't totally convinced Dybala wanted to join."

Fuck you to whoever invented image writes

 

[rez9000]
