Don't worry guys Zapsportz have an "exclusive" source at Spurs saying it's all OK!! What do you mean "zap who?"

I had no idea Saints hated Spurs to this level, some of the s*** I have seen them spouting is just embarrassing.
"Toby, how can you leave after that?"
"I can't"
JJ appears to insinuate that this is what he was talking about last week.Just moving this to the player thread:
They can't be a week behind as Levy has been in Madrid THIS weekend.
Kristof Terreur @HLNinEngeland 25s25 seconds ago
Toby Alderweireld can sign a 5y deal at Spurs. Clubs have agreed on the fee, but #SaintsFC may look at a legal steps against Atlético. #THFC
Bring it on, fam.
Even with this, my confidence has gone up after Kristof's tweet.JJ appears to insinuate that this is what he was talking about last week.

Maybe @jetsetyid knew all about this Alderweireld clause issue all along (the not for Twitter element) & its only just coming to light..

@DomRS10@RickyYido it's certainly complicated as I may have said 433 times previously .... #Alderweireld
Thanks @raggy for the whoring.
Anyone else think this is a ruse by levy to get them to sell us shniederlin? We drop our bid for toby if you sell us morgan? Would be right up levy's street.
Eh? Never heard of him.Must be related to Dean.
I'm sure he's interested in us but he could be just as interested in Saints. Also, I've not actually seen any evidence of Levy being in Spain, just the same rumour again and again. Also, it's not as if we only ever enter negotiations with a player thar we have an extremely good chance of signing. I'm under no illusions that Levy wouldn't start negotiations unless there was a chance, but it doesn't mean it's particularly likely. All sorts of contractual things can prove to be a hurdle. Look at Musachio last year. It seems like we got to a decent stage in negotiations with him but the 3rd party ownership shit screwed us over (again!). Maybe Levy didn't know about this legal thing until now.Do you really think Levy is in Spain in advanced negotiations over a player he's unsure of actually wanting to join us?
All these things are sounded out well before the two Clubs start negotiating. The very fact that we're negotiating with AM strongly indicates that TA has let us know that we're his preference, otherwise we wouldn't waste the time.
Based on Kristofs tweet it seems like all is good for a deal to go ahead with us and Atletico. Then it's just down to Southampton and Atletico to sort out their legal issues afterwards. I can't imagine the legal fees and compensation if it comes to that being massive so It shouldn't affect any deal we have with them. It seems more like Southampton throwing their toys out of the pram rather than having any real case to get Alderweireld in on a legal issue.
Well do you not think they're desperate? They're grasping at straws for fuck sake, they definitely want this! Whilst fit he was a key player for them last year and Koeman has expressed his desire in keeping him. Whether they get him or not, I don't know but I think it's pretty clear that they want him a lot, you don't take this kind of legal action for no reason.They seem desperate to sign him? I can't recall many times hearing about Levy himself travelling for talks.

Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. I'm not a football chairman so at the end of the day I have a limited knowledge of how these things go down. Basically my point is if it is all down to Toby himself at this point, I think there's a good chance he'll choose us but I wouldn't be getting his name printed on my shirt just yet! (more because it'll cost a fortune than anything else lol)
Mate, they are definitely desperate, I just think we are as well.Well do you not think they're desperate? They're grasping at straws for fuck sake, they definitely want this!

If anything that's more of a reason for Levy to go personally because he's aware of how keen Southampton are so he needs to get it signed and sealed swiftly
