It would be foolish to assume that Zaha will choose us, however this video may give a little insight into how he makes his decision.



4:20 - He talks about feeling loved and how important that is for him to feel this.
7.27 - He mentions that Ivory Coast guaranteed him a place in the team but also that he felt really wanted there.

I have a feeling that if Poch manages to have a one-to-one with him it'll be an easy decision for him.

Furthermore, whilst a pretty big part of players choosing Chelsea ahead of us was salary and higher chance of winning stuff (maybe not so much currently), I do think another aspect was that they had a core group of players who could influence them Terry, Lampard, etc. Who is their core currently? Hazard - may be going, Courtois - may be going too, Morata - being linked away.

Players do mention this often, don't they? About being loved, supported, made to feel a part of a club, being wanted.

It's all bollox, of course.

1 Wages 2 Starting games regularly 3 Playing in my best position 99 All that other shit

Here are my trophies after 15 years in top level football: None

Now have a look at my bank balance: £80 million and my various properties around the world.

Brian Clough said his trophies were his A- Levels.

Now, the overwhelming loads of cash are the trophies.

There is a reason I rarely post on here, mainly because I don’t chat loads of rubbish and will only post when it’s concrete. Problem I have is no matter what I post there are always a few making ridiculous comments. I have verified connections, I also have a life and don’t have to or need to post but I will post for spurs fans as I am a spurs fan to. Thanks and as always COYS
Cheers for your time bud. Always fun

Then why didn't he stay at Manchester United?

You didn't watch the video did you?

No one expects you to post mate, and you shouldn't have to explain yourself. Like you said you're just a fan like the rest of us, not a service!

Appreciate what you share though. Hopefully Zaha comes off for us (y)

It's easy to say. What if Kovacic then hands in a transfer request next week and we don't have the £50m up front RM want because we've gone in and paid what Palace want.

You’re forgetting that every TW Spurs arranges a huge line of credit for this very opportunity. It’s not like you walking into your bank and asking for a line of credit. This is a big, profitable business and likely the only question the bank needs to ask is “how much do you want?”.

Herc in ITK thread saying we've beaten chelsea's offer on personal terms, couple this with the ITK of him loving poch and his agent loving poch and then surely...:cautious:

Guess it all depends on whether the ITK about us agreeing a fee is correct. That's always the hard part with us.

The fact that there are multiple sources saying it (Gards said he had 2 different sources on this) and the GOAT then there's reason to be hopeful

We've talked a lot in this thread under the assumption Chelsea would offer more than us and provided reasons for and against signing for us regardless. I think most of those still stand and hold sway over his decision (assuming the other itk is correct). So he could go either way still in my mind.

We have to disassociate ourselves from the past. We are so much more attractive for obvious reasons, but factor in Poch, CL and better financials and it's not a stretch to see why he would choose us
