here is the very latest from Romania, and its not good news........the move seems to have fallen through
The source of all this following info comes from MM Stoica who is the Steaua general manager. He is currently live on tv on one of the most popular football shows.
the owner Gigi Becali, who is in jail, got very upset that Spurs demanded the player be transferred immediately. "who are Tottenham, who do they think they are. Chiriches is going nowhere" was his response
the general manager Stoica then went on to say that Chiriches will not move now, but possibly in the winter. He said the offer from Spurs was a good one, but they feel his value will grow by playing more games with Steaua in the CL, so they will be able to sell him for far more
Stoica also said that Spurs wanted to pay the 6 mill pound fee in instalments and that was completely unacceptable to Steaua who if they had sold would have wanted the 6 mill in one payment
the player has just found out about the move falling through and is disappointed, but Stoica said that he will have to live with the decision and get on playing for Steaua
so for now, it looks off.....
