Spurs stalling on Berahino bid

Page 3 of 3

Guys, I would be delighted to miss out on Berahino if we could land Bojan or even Deulofeu, unlikely I know buy heyy one can hope!

I cannot understand how Deulofeu is only on the bench for Everton

As for Berahino, I would only like him at WHL if: a) He behaved himself & b) He only cost between £14-17m, I think his valuation is reflected in the fact he is not now first choice for Albion.

My question is - What was Berahino's attitude like BEFORE WBA stopped him coming to us. I read somewhere that Pulis promised him he could go if a decent offer came in. If we do get him he may well be a happy bunny ............or maybe not.

Chronic...................................a nippy player as well as an out and out striker would be my ideal!

Genius I agree with that

He would be their first choice striker if it wasn't for his commitment and attitude since the end of the window.

You can't blame him for being upset when the club said he could leave with a good offer and Pulis allowing it then rejecting £25m bid..

But you would have liked to see him move on from it and put a real effort for his club or maybe he knowingly is sacrificing a few months of his career in order to push through a deal now

Don't make excuses for him

He's a grown man who is rewarded handsomely for very very little work. If he can't be 'professional' and get his head down doing his best for the supporters and team mates he's got serious problems and Spur's are right to rethink

Players don't play for managers....they play for the supporters and the other team mates. He's proved he's a selfish, spoiled and immature individual with far to great a sense of his own importance!

Not really, as football manager involves buying players.

spurtle doesn't understand that spurs buy players virtually every window

Chronic I do love our arguments

...in which I end up the winner.

If we aren't in for Berahino then I'd like to think we have someone else lined up.

Wait how on earth does anyone know what is going on behind the scenes with him? How do you know he is not working his butt off in training but that west brom just don't want to play him. How are you guys going to judge him like that when you don't even know him, just cos of 'reports' in the media have said so. The same media you are so happy to disagree with and class as nonsense when it suits your own agenda.

1 bad tweet which he apologised for is the only concrete evidence we know. Hes just a kid ffs very young. Lay off. I for one would like him at spurs, he hasnt become a bad player overnight and i don't believe these rumours of him being trouble

so its once in a generation now? before it was once ever opportunity…

furthermore, of the 7 players we bought with the money, 2 have been clear successes, 1 is slowly realising his potential, and the other 4 were sold off and we recouped most of what we paid

now… QPR? 12 mill for samba
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Recouped most of what you paid O dear the dellusion continues mate sorry. You sold soldado for a tiny amount didnt you
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's have a look at purchase prices compared to sell on prices/current value:

Nacer Chadli - Bought: £7 million, Value Now: £10 million
Roberto Soldado - Bought: £15 million (Add ons hardly triggered), Sold: £10 million
Paulinho - Bought: £17 million, Sold: £10 million
Etienne Capoue - Bought: £8 million, Sold: £6.5 million
Christian Eriksen - Bought: £11 million, Value: £20 million
Erik Lamela - Bought £27 million, Value: £15 million
Vlad Chiriches - Bought £6.5 million, Sold: £4.5 million

I make that around £15 million in the red. That's not horrendous for a £100 million splurge. You then have to realise that whilst Soldado was a failed signing, it paved the way for Kane to develop into the striker he is today. His value now would be upwards of £30 million which instantly sends us into the green.

That's without considering the value of the other players who have built first team careers as a result of poor performances from some of those signings, notably Eric Dier, Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb.

Considering our low wage bill on these signings too, I'd consider that window a success in the long-term. How did paying Samba and Bosingwa £100k a week each pan out for you guys?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Completely clutching at straws there mate. How you can consider that a success is very funny. You speculate on add ons for people you bought and not for those you sold. Also i suspect soldado cost you way more than 15 mil. Either way, that sort of money will never come spurs way again, you should of used it on a stadium, now you will have to bankrupt yourself building a stadium and your team will suffer. When your team suffers you wont fill your stadium. The result will likely be a crisis at spurs. Trust me

Tflop still here?

The only way they attracted players of any repute was to pay them £30k more than they actually asked for:

Bosingwa
Shiite-Phillips
Barton

Wage bill the size of Dortmund's - one club was bound for the champions league final, the other one was bound for relegation
