I skimmed the previous few pages, and didn't see this mentioned but sorry if it's a repeat.
My thoughts on him being able to pull out of the option:
No way Spurs would have mentioned it in the post if it was particularly likely
My gut feeling is that it's there to cover him in the unlikely...
It only opened on Friday and is open until mid April I think. Season starts end of this month though, so you'd think it would happen in the next fortnight or so if it does happen. Especially given the fact that you'd assume he'll be a designated player so they'd want to know if it is happening...
Yeah basically. He went to Barca too young, and the Wolves loan was just when they were taking in all the Portuguese (see also Pote), with no real plan or strategy. Sporting wanted him before the Barcelona move, and then when Amorim came in it was just a matter of time really. He can play on...
I'm always bias, but let's just go and get Trincao. 18 months left on his contract, and I think Sporting would take something around the €30-40m mark. The exact profile of RW we could do with.
But ultimately, he'll be back to being 4th/5th choice come February and we will have stopped him getting another good loan as he'll have played for two teams already
I agree we need somebody, but I'd prefer it was a loan or somebody who can be an extra body on an okay-ish wage. Then revisit the need for an LCB back up in the summer.
I think recalling him is a very short term view. This season is over as far as the league goes, and it’s too close to Liverpool for a recall to make any sense for the league cup (and he’s probably cup tied, not sure). We’ve got Tamworth in the FA Cup and even if it’s through the playoffs should...
Fee sounds right for somebody rated like he is, and I imagine Burnley were happy to take it in stages, which makes it so much easier than an Eze for example. Also, I would imagine his wages aren't huge, and I'm sure we've heard time and again, that wages can be as much of a problem as the fee...
