Levy stop being a tight wad and pay the asking price

He's not being a tight wad, look at other Porto players in the past decade that went for 15mil to 40mil and the wages they end up on. Spurs can't in any way afford 100k+ a week, and certainly not 150k + a week. Moutinho is expecting a relatively big move to a top 4 club basically and if its Spurs this year or Real/City/Chelsea/whoever next year he wants a top wage that a 25mil+ transfer pretty much dictates these days.

THis is another reason why it was a waste going after all these 20-30mil strikers/midfielders they've tried to get for the past 3 years. Adebayor is a fluke because the selling club was desparate to get shot of him and subsidised those wages, fact is a 20-25mil and up player means a wage of 100k a week minimum, often significantly more, Spurs aren't even close to able to offer that kind of wage. Why they wasted half a second going after him I don't know, appease the manager, make a public show of it, no idea.

They should have been after a realistic target from day one, however AVB doesn't strike me as a very realistic manager hence his want to buy in a specific player without considering anyone else really.

40m for Balotelli? :eek:

I've dropped behind on the news this year.

IIRC a few weeks ago a reporter said is it true PSG bid for Balo. He said it was true. No fees were confirmed but £40m was touted.

Mancini would quit if we sold Balotelli and everyone knows he has possibly unlimited talent and we are in no position to need to sell.
 
Yossi is on £92k at Chelsea! :eek:

Very frustrating. Really don't know what to make of the owners when they splash £35 million and put Carroll on £80k p/w in wages but refuse to budge a few million for a proven Premiership striker who has consistently scored for a "mid table" club.
 
Liverpool wouldn't meet £5m up front with £2m add-ons. No confirmation on what the full details are with the Spurs pricing.

Yossi must have the same agent as Santa Cruz and Bridge.
 
Wait what Dempsey has signed for Spurs? And we all thought it was Arry that was the transfer muppet on deadline day, turns out it was Levy all along :p
 
£8m for Lloris raising to £12m if we win the Prem, CL, FA Cup, Fizzy Pop Cup, Womens Div 1, World Super Cup, etc, etc

Surprised we've not sold Gomes.... he cost us £8m and got to think about the guys career??
 
After looking like we were nailed on to sign Moutinho with that seemingly now dead in the water I am slightly underwhelmed with Demspey. On the face of it he looks like a cracking signing for 6M and will get goals but I struggle to see how he will fit in the formation that we play.
 
Unless there's a late surprise, I think we're going to have to move Gerrard forward into the front 3. Thank god we've got plenty of midfielders.

Have you still got Cudicini too? You've got more senior keepers than you do strikers.

edit: I've just realised, we've got more senior keepers than strikers too :o
