Why Spurs will sell Hugo Lloris this summer

[chinaman]

Plus la change, plus la meme. Au revior, Hugo!

Hugo will not understand you.

 

[yusrisafri]

It's all doom and gloom, fans feeling sorry for themselves therefore Lloris is definitely leaving and they're taking Bentaleb and Kane with him whilst the club gives Adebayor and Chiriches new contracts.

This really sounds like a spurs deal doesnt it? Talk big in the summer, intention to spend big, propose to buy this marquee player and that star player, only to end up like what you mentioned above

 

[stuffies]

Not read the post ....but for me its simple.
IF he wants to go ,we'll sell but ONLY for top money.
IF he wants to stay.levy will keep him.

Personally if he was to go I would hope not too any other English club,however if too say manu was bidding 10 mil more than say real ....and hes going to go anyways ....I would rather us have that extra money.
( of course it if was like 1,2,3 mil more then fack united )

Got a feeling he'll give us one more season IF poch is backed and he gets the players he wants in

If arsenal can keep selling they're best players and qualifying for the champions league then why can't we?

 

[chrisarmstrong's mole]

I am getting increasingly fed up and disillusioned with the whole Champions League debacle. Why does every player 'want' to play in it necesserily. Players want money and that is why they move. Would did Falcao join Utd on loan? Due to the fact that they paid him ridiculous wages. They weren't even in Europe. So I hate all this 'they want to join a Champions League club' bollocks. Has Lloris actually come out and said 'I want to move'. Not sources or friends. Him. No he hasn't. Don't let the media who quite simply hate us because they can't deal with anyone bar Chelsea, Arsenal, City, Utd or Liverpool being in the top 4 try and unsettle us again. We have had an up and down season that is true but I see Lloris staying and Poch getting the players that he wants in. Rant over

Or on a Yugo.

urgh ! , Yugo's were really horrible . Maybe the most disgusting to look at . Was the parent company called Zastava or something ?

Remember 30 years ago when Hyundai's started being imported into the UK .

They had a model called the "Hyundai Pony" and was it ever pony .

We're a selling club. I hate saying that and used to argue with people for saying it, but now I know its true. We'll sell, just hopefully not to ManU. Vorm knew it too when he signed.

What a load of absolute rubbish. A selling club means a club who is forced to sell it's players to survive, almost on a hand-to-mouth basis. If you think that description perfectly fits our club mate, you are seriously deluded.

We are no more a selling club than Arsenal (Van Perise, Clichy, Nasri, Sagna, Fabregas) or United (Ronaldo, Beckham, Stam, Van Nistelrooy, Vidic,)

In a nutshell, selling players is all part of the modern way of running a football club. These are business decisions and as a Chairman of a modern day Premiership football club and in order to keep your club competitive, you have to adopt ruthless tactics sometimes. You have to put the club first and if players are unhappy and want to leave, it's your responsibility to maximise the fee, otherwise your prize asset turns into a 'bad egg' and a nightmare in the dressing room.

I hate it when our own fans call us 'a selling club'. Show me one club which isn't.

Not really, it is just the reality. We are probably the right calibre of club for the likes of Kane, Bentalab and Eriksen at this moment in time. Lloris is in his prime and there is a realisation that he is capable of playing for a top Champions League team.

As I said at the start of the season; Spurs are essentially a mid-table/upper-half club with a mostly overrated opinion of themselves. Thanks mainly to Levy 6th - 8th place is where we are....get used to it everyone.

Names please? Fabregas? Nasri? Oh..and Van Persie. Adebayor. Hleb. Flamini. Umm...

Why the fuck is this even on the front page?

Woolwich got £15 million for Gervinho ???

Nope, it was more like 8 million euros (not sure what the exchange rate was back then). They lost money on him though as he cost arond £11M.

Oh so sorry, I didn't know you were tasked with telling the world what the definition of a selling club is, and how dare anyone else define it differently.

We're forced to sell our players for player power reasons and also financial pressure but the reasons are irrelevant, the fact is we sell them all eventually if they are in enough demand so up yours pal. Levy's record speaks for itself and I'm ok with it to a point. You're where I was 5 yrs ago, minus the manners.

Wow. What was that you were saying about manners?

I do apologise for suggesting you were deluded, but that takes nothing away from me being angry and frustrated about your choice of terminology when referring to the football club I've loved for over 50 years.

Clearly, I have a deeper understanding of how Premiership football club Chairmen run their businesses and what their motivations might be.

Whilst we're on the subject, can you nominate any clubs who don't sell their players?

 

[UbeAstard]

Does Hugo have any say in this ?

And btw, we didn't pay 30mill for him, where do they come up with this shit

He is worth what some one will pay for him and personally as we are trying to rebuild I dont think we will sell him unless he desperately wants to leave.

He has no ambition to win anthing then at the peak of his career?

 

[UbeAstard]

But it has to be this way when we have a player that becomes world class, at this moment their winning ambitions are unlikely to be realised at Spurs. We just have to hope the structures being put in place can change that in the future.

Actually your right we are smart club (most of the time) who just lost its way in the transfer market by trying to buy success instead of sticking to its long term plan. Thinking about every time we move off the plan of buying young talent and a couple of wise heads we do go shit, when you add in the desire from a sexy foreign manager.

how close were from being a Dortmund, athletico under Rednapp? We were only a few signings away and a manager with more desire and hunger from challenging (not saying winning anything but bale, modric, Lennon, king was a very good team).
