Depends how good he is I guess. I've never seen him play.

Lots of other posters have - general concensus seems to be good prospect but still lots to learn. At age 19/20 think that is going to be as good as it gets - but with Zeki having playedv for the first team a few times and old Beeetroot face comments before Zeki declined ManU's contract offer, think its a worthwhile punt by Spurs to fill the conveyor belt (see OP).

Dount if its £20k pw to start with - he probably needs to prove himself a bit before he gets tio that. But a big welcome to Zeki !

Finally a leftback appears.

Is anyone else having a hard-on just thinking of Ol Whiskey Face's reaction when he hears we signed him from under the noses of Man Utd? payback for Carrick/Berbatov in a small way, but gratifying nevertheless...

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Wow. £20k per week?! That's nuts!​

 

[AngerManagement]

HOw much are the likes of Livermore and Caulker on?

 

[sam1972]

JJ just said he's using us for a pay rise

20k a week??

That's a lot for an unproven youngster

I'm sure Utd pay a lot more than that to Smalling and Jones who imo don't have much more experience

Wow. £20k per week?! That's nuts!​

Well another way to look at it is that the transfer fee will be relatively small as it is going to tribunal so the total contract value wouldn't be that much.

 

[VincenzoCoccotti]

Shame, would have been a good back up to BAE but if JJ says he isn't coming cant get more definite than that

 

[Jimmypearce7]

Don't know this guy but if he is good be a chance to move Rose on. End of 2010-11 season run at left back was good but when he got a similar run at the end of last season (shortened by being sent off) he didn't really look up to it.

must admit I know vefry little about this bloke but he must be decent to pay him £ 20 K a week, and Greg Stobart is rarely if ever wrong about Tottenham

Tottenham have agreed to sign defender Zeki Fryers in a move that has infuriated Manchester United and will be resolved at a tribunal.

The 19-year-old has accepted a £20,000-a-week contract offer to move to White Hart Lane after his contract with United expired this summer and he refused to sign a new deal as they would not meet his wage demands.

The Red Devils are entitled to compensation as they brought Fryers through their youth system, but the fee will be decided by an independent tribunal as the Old Trafford club want £6 million for the left-back while Spurs rate him at around £2m.

Fryers is understood to have been told that he will go straight into the Spurs first-team squad under new head coach Andre Villas-Boas as competition for Benoit Assou-Ekotto, with Danny Rose likely to leave the Londoners this summer.

The defender, who broke into Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team squad last season, will join Ravel Morrison and Paul Pogba as the latest promising youth prospect to turn his back on the club.

Sir Alex has already expressed concerns over the full-back’s future, admitting that the club had not been in contact with him during the post-season break.

"We haven't heard anything from Zeki Fryers," said the United boss to MUTV on Monday. "I don't know what's happening there but he's not been in touch with the club. His agent hasn't been in touch with the club and I can only assume he'll be back for training."

Fryers made his debut in the Red Devils’ 3-0 victory over Leeds in last season's League Cup but has not appeared in the Premier League since his side’s Boxing Day defeat to Blackburn.

The move will signal a third high-profile departure of United's brightest young talent in half a year, with
Morrison having joined West Ham in January and Pogba moving to Juventus on Tuesday.

Ferguson accused Pogba of showing the Old Trafford club “a lack of respect” following his switch to the Turin giants, with the Frenchman having been locked in a contract dispute with United for a number of months.

He also has a cool name. He sounds like a character from Futurama.

 

[simon bartlett]

Would be a nice player to sign. Ive read somewhere that hes grease lightening and could have been a sprinter.

 

[hellava_tough]

Anyone seen him play?

Looks like signing number 4 for us (Bale, AVB, Siggy, Fryers)

He didn't say he's not coming. He said he thinks he's using us as a pay rise. He's itk for spurs not itk for everyone and everything.
