Bruno Fernandes

[ThereIsOnlyOneBent]

Thank you for reading his name for me. While I can write, I’ve never mastered reading so your help is very much appreciated

But if you can’t read how could you.... ? never mind

 

[Deep Left]

I really hope we dont mess about and the window shuts and we get a 'we tried really hard' on Bruno Fernandes....

I really want us to sign this guy....please Tottenham!!

 

[thefierycamel]

We love in a world where players like Joelinton and Haller go for over £40m. No point in getting cheaper alternatives, they won't improve the squad.

Well we aren't willing to spend money on players that will, or at least more than one given Ndombele. 1 signing into the first team squad just isn't good enough at this point; given our revenue, last two windows, and the state of the team regarding age and contracts.

Trying doesn't matter if you always fail...

In reality the players who we should be looking at as "alternatives" are the likes of Grealish, Maddison, Brooks etc. but we all know we've missed the boat on them, they'd cost us upwards of £50m-£60m I'd imagine.

If you have anyone in mind who would improve the squad at an affordable price feel free to throw them in the mix.

[@OJogo] Tottenham Hotspur are refusing to meet Sporting’s €70M valuation for midfielder Bruno Fernandes with chairman Daniel Levy ‘not forthcoming’ with more than €60M.



Spurs have tried to agree a scenario which would see bonuses and different ‘forms of payment’. #COYS #THFC


Seems eerily familiar...

It’s funny that so many fans want to chastise Levy for this.

Is Fernandes even worth this amount? It’s not like there’s a queue of clubs desperate to pay €70m for his services.

I think it’s pathetic to whinge and moan about not meeting a valuation such as this.

N’Dombele was much more sought after and we moved quickly and got it done.

Why should we be held to ransom for a player who represents quite a big risk, coming from a really poor league.

It’s fucking idiotic to just continue to cry that Levy should just hurry up and meet every team’s valuations. Especially on such a high risk transfer.

Please take this elsewhere, talking logical sense is not permitted in the transfer forums. Thanks.

A little old wise ‘man’ once said: Do or do not. There is no try!

I'm surprised nobody has gone in for Ziyech with a 26m release clause (allegedly).

I mentioned in another thread I found him a bit inconsistent (admittedly from only watching him a few times), and was heavily shot down.

There must be a reason other clubs haven't taken a punt.

But when do you stop trying to buy a 70m player without wanting to pay the required price before you move to your next option.

I'd be pretty annoyed if we spent 70m on Fernandes and not someone like Lo Celso.

Normally another one of the usual excuses trotted out after the transfer window. Oh we did try for so and so but they just weren’t being reasonable.. to meet our payment plan or valuation of the player. This summers favourite excuse seems to be we they keep changing the terms. First Betis then Fulham and now Sporting...

There are teams that can afford to pay less than 70m for players better than Fernandes. See deals by the elite clubs. We can't afford not to overpay for talent slightly below that level.

 

[rossdapep]

The issue is the quality of player.

We are obviously targeting players who are very highly rated and have a solid tally in their favour, even if the league is weak. Their respective clubs then see average/inferior players move for 40m and think "Our player is worth twice that, so this is the going rate" and because we don't want to lower our standards we have to wrestle with them on their valuation.

Also, we need to be looking at targets and thinking "Is this player better than Erisken" and honestly speaking there isn't many out there who are. Therefore we are left with a small pool of players to select from.

I really really want this lad ?

 

[spursfan77]

We live in a world where players like Joelinton and Haller go for over £40m. No point in getting cheaper alternatives, they won't improve the squad.

It's pure madness, the market is so fucked.

Both these players and ndombele are massive risks for a club like us at their costs.

What I don’t get is we have x amount to spend and want Lo Celso and/Fernandes. We won’t pay the asking price for either of them, yet our offers aren’t that far off. Instead of ending up with no one, why aren’t we paying that bit extra to get at least one of them? We desperately need another attacking midfielder. Look at our available players for Villa, the bench is going to be even worse than last season. If the game doesn’t go our way we’ve no options on the bench.

Not sure Amazon vouchers are going to cut it.

According to the Bsodl it’s cause we don’t want to end up like Leeds...
