If we’d had a bid accepted and agreed personal terms - he would be a spurs player....
What the itk had suggested was that spurs and Chelsea had agreed a rough figure enough to engage with zaha’s people to propose personal terms...
I’m pretty sure this was all explained.
Not sure it’s a good move to be suggesting you’ve worked out an itk was posting false information...
As I mentioned, I know ITKs pass on information in good faith, but that doesn't necessarily mean all of the information that they receive is accurate. In this case, it seems likely that it wasn't or that something has changed since the information was received. I'd sooner hear ITK than not hear it, but I'm not going to take it as gospel and instead apply the usual dose of salt.
The ITK I saw was that "Both agreed with Palace and up to the player." If it's later been clarified that this was a 'rough figure enough to engage with Zaha's people' then I must have missed it, but either way I would think if a deal was that far along, he wouldn't participate in their friendly games and risk an injury.
