tuchel's on the runway!!
Hope he smashes it (and Matty fucking Cash).
Very true. If you went through my old posts you would see I was a HUGE Conte fan, but there is no doubting that, in hindsight, he believed that he was doing us a favour and that spread through the club like a virus.Just shows you that football and a club can transform very quickly.
It took one appointment to change the whole mood.
Carragher said before that the coach is the one who changes the entire mentality and mood at a club. He was right.
Hate to break it to you - United Linked to DragusinSorry can’t keep up today.
Will he be available for Utd?
A Romanian speaker on reddit translated the full agent TV interview. The bit that stood out to me was Levy still involved in deals with Lange
Full Translation of Interview with Radu's Agent
Second time translating this. First time only the link got posted and lost the translation.
Full Translation of the interview with Radu's Agent:
"The decision was taken at 8:00 this morning. We were determined to go to Tottenham, but the offer came from Bayern. And we stopped. We were on the way to the airport. I said we have to think well and evaluate. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs. I can't believe we refused Bayern. But this is the decision. I made it with Radu and his family. I annouced those at Bayern that this is the decision, that they came on the last 100 meters and that it was hard to chaneg our decision. Maybe in the future we'll get there. We are a bit in shock. (due to tiredness and series of events I assume) (Romano tweet said "mindblown")
Of course Radu also thought about the offer from Bayern. The decision, we took it this morning. It's hard to make such a decision. Bayern really wanted him but the official offer arrived last night. There was more money from Bayern, but he (Radu) said that this is the correct step in his career. We stayed up all night to think about it. We didn't sleep at all. We stayed up to see what are the pluses and the minuses. Napoli and AC Milan also wanted him. But he dreamt since he was young to play in the Premier League.
He didn't choose the money. There was more money at Bayern. He said that this is the correct step in his career. It is to be commended that he chose his career ahead of money. I don't know how many would have refused the offer we had from Bayern. Many people didn't think we would refuse Bayern. We said this is the correct step. The difference (in money) was quite big. Almost 50% extra, if not even twice that. But the sums don't matter. They were never a priority. We will always choose the steps that are correct. I think it weighed a lot that he always wanted to play in the Premier League.
At one point Tottenham was a bit far from what Genoa wanted but we said that if the clubs agree we will choose Tottenham. If not, it means that's what God wanted and we go to Bayern. Tottenham made big efforts. Levy and Johan were very happy. They both worked a lot, until 3:00 AM they worked to reach an agreement with Genoa. We agreed on a 5.5 year deal. Now they want 6.5 years. There are still small details to iron out but we are 99% agreed."
In the audio file on the Romanian news website he says that the plan is to finish the paperwork and have him available for the United game. Radu trained twice yesterday and is fit and ready.
From his voice you could tell he is tired. It's the biggest transfer in Romanian football history. As an agent he obviously had to advise his client to consider the offer from Bayern and he probably felt uncomfortable to have to refuse them. But Radu had his heart set on us. Also credit where credit is due: to Levy and Johan for working tirelessly to get this done.
I've been a Spurs supporter for 30 years now. I started in 1994 when I went to school in England and chose Spurs because we had bought Dumitrescu and Popescu only for them to be sold the very next year. Had to wait so long to see another Romanian in a Spurs shirt: Mad Vlad. I was sad it didn't work out but now I'm so excited to see a Romanian player with such potential finally arriving at Spurs. Hope he smashes it (and Matty fucking Cash).
COYS!

Radu's playing Sunday!!tuchel's on the runway!!
no one would notice...Good time to empty the plane's toilets
he always wanted Tottenham a man of his word it seems. Fabio massively should get the credit here with his presentation to Radu about his journey at Spurs. the agent saw the money at Bayern and almost cried which is his job at the ne of the day the player on the other hand saw himself at the lane and not the allianz.Sounds to me like his agent was Bayern's man in the room, he wanted them and gave them assurances but his client, Dragusin, let him down and that little monologue was his plea for forgiveness, "it weren't my fault guv".
Radu Dragusin seems like a man who knows his own mind.
Actually I think we've had about a half dozen hamstrings done. I really hope they aren't done a million times or we really will be fuckedIf only someone would make a hamstring joke. Hasn’t been done a million times already.
I said this repeatedly yet some continued to say it wouldn’t matter and it was because the players were crapJust shows you that football and a club can transform very quickly.

Forget the knee jerks. Time for a knees up!
Welcome Radu.
Make dogey Don Fabio presidenthe always wanted Tottenham a man of his word it seems. Fabio massively should get the credit here with his presentation to Radu about his journey at Spurs. the agent saw the money at Bayern and almost cried which is his job at the ne of the day the player on the other hand saw himself at the lane and not the allianz.
Speaks volumes about the character of the man and have high hopes about him succeeding here with that attitude.he always wanted Tottenham a man of his word it seems. Fabio massively should get the credit here with his presentation to Radu about his journey at Spurs. the agent saw the money at Bayern and almost cried which is his job at the ne of the day the player on the other hand saw himself at the lane and not the allianz.
I would loved to have seen thathe always wanted Tottenham a man of his word it seems. Fabio massively should get the credit here with his presentation to Radu about his journey at Spurs. the agent saw the money at Bayern and almost cried which is his job at the ne of the day the player on the other hand saw himself at the lane and not the allianz.
