The deal had been hijacked by our refusal to meet the buy out clause in his contract.

There is a 5’2” egregiously bald roadblock to this transfer

Our refusal to meet the fee or the wages less of a roadblock, more of a moat of lava swimming with genetically engineered killer alligators

It's so frustrating that we're happy to pay huge money for limited players like Richarlison or Johnson but won't do the same for players like Eze.

Do we need Eze? Where does he fit in the first 11? Maddison replacement?

He can play in several forward positions and would walk into our team. Our forward options are so bad.

In Maddison's position, Son's, kulusevski's or even Johnson's.

There was no ‘deal’ for Eze, we knew what it’d take and we didn’t activate it.
If there was a deal he’d be playing for us now.

Wages wages wages, he will want prob double what all the others are on

I think only an 8 position to be honest as he is not the winger style for Ange, and his position in the last match.....same as Maddison.

 

[Misfit]

Meh. We simply won't pay wages on a par with those clubs we compete with. Whether that is right or wrong is personal opinion somewhat but either way it's not going to change.

Especially now everyone, even most prem clubs, are claiming poverty or tightening the belts a little. They won't want to repeat the TN or GLC experience.

In Maddison's position, Son's, kulusevski's or even Johnson's.

He isn't a winger in my mind in an Ange system so it is only an 8 role.

Levy would rather sign three average players for £200m if he likes the structure of the deals over one good player for £60m if he doesn’t like the structure of the deal.

 

[Spurs_1981]

I was under the impression this was all about the buy-out clause being too high for a single payment. Where did all the talk of wages in relation to Eze stem?

Yep.

Incredibly.

I know it's probably the big down payment but if you stop overspending on players that don't move the needle much, you can do them bigger deals and bring in younger players to cover the other spaces.

I thought thte TW was shut, silly me

 

[Trent Crimm]

Well, if football transfers say we “fear” Arsenal mugged us of then I for 1 believe it.
