Tottenham have held talks with Wigan Athletic over a £500,000 deal for their highly-rated teenage midfielder Alfie Devine.

The 15-year old joined Wigan after being released by Liverpool and starred for them in their FA Youth Cup run this season where they beat Spurs 2-0.

His form prompted Wigan to play him in their Under-23s and he has been capped by England at Undr-16 level.

Good thing everyone knows Liverpool are terrible judges of players.

Don't feel comfortable acting like vultures around a club in trouble.

Why? That deal could mean that they will be able to pay wages

If theyre actively seeking to sell their best youngsters at cut prices then okay, but there's just something that doesn't sit right with me taking advantage of a clubs financial troubles, especially under the circumstances of how it has come about whereby the owner has purposely screwed them over.

They’re literally looking to sell to keep themselves afloat.

Kind of like Villa were with Grealish before our bald twat chairman tried to shaft them.
Wasn’t the deal agreed but they stalled until new owners came in who then scuppered it with Grealish quick to sign as he loves Villa?

Ultimately though it was Wigan that put themselves in such a situation in the first place. If they had treated their finances with more care in the past they wouldn’t be facing issues that lead to knockdown prices for assets, the same as anyone in any walk of life.

Fuck me! I know it’s dog eat dog, but the lack of compassion you show for the club and it’s fans is astonishing.
