The Official Tottenham Hotspud thread [Vol 10]

[48k]

Premier League will be listing our home stadium as "to be confirmed" when the fixtures come out this Thursday. Spurs have been giving an extra 48 hours (ie. COB Friday) to confirm where home games will be played 2018/9.

[ORD]

The stadium will almost be finished. They’ll run it close. Nearly get it done. The Spurs way.

New RM manager will be Julen Lopetegui, the current spain manager just to finally put the Poch (and Klopp) rumours to bed

I'm sure we'll be back here around this time next year - and the year after

What the reports fail to mention is that the contact is a restraining order and to tell AVB to stop applying for the job.

He doesn't have any choice in the matter.

[lemmingjames]

So Toby is staying, Rose is staying (Man Utd. also have no interest in him) and Real want a straight swap for Bale/Erikson

I'm afraid that nowadays he does. We've all seen how a player desperate to get away can make it difficult for a club. See Berba for details.

[silverfoxcc]

Berbs left because United paid Levy's price.

If United (or anyone else) don't meet Levy's price, then Alderweireld will be staying.

He can't leave - someone has to buy him.

So explain what choice he has? Go on strike? Not get paid and have UEFA withold his registration for 2 years? He can refuse to sign a contract extension and encourage Spurs to sell him but if no deal is struck with another club, he'll be at Spurs at the start of next season.

"Yeah, why not?" said the Tottenham star. "I have two years left on my contract. I don't know what is going to happen."

He's just saying it exactly as it is.

That's true but when a player sulks it becomes intolerable to keep him. Berba sulked and wouldn't play for us. Levy got a great price but he had to sell him if only to bring the sorry saga to a halt.

Berba wanted out and to play for United. United wanted him. So it happened. We threatened United with a tapping up case so they paid what Levy asked for.

It's also happened with other players at other clubs if they want out and whilst the club hold the legal cards the reality is they will want to sell him. Going back to my point he does have a choice - to sulk and suddenly become 'not in the right frame of mind to play' or be professional about it. If he sulks and Levy doesn't want to sell him for £25m in 12 months time then he'll get his move.

That's the problem for Levy though. He either comes down in price to 40/50 million whatever or let him go for 25 next year. Surely an extra 15/20 million is better?
