If this boy is all he is hyped up to be then we should really go back in and try and negotiate a different deal, maybe one which means a longer stay at his current club. If we are being stonewalled then I know there are dark and sinister forces at work and no one will convince me otherwise. NO ONE!!!
Having made a (reportedly) concrete offer and tried to negotiate a deal this summer could help us down the line. If his folks, his agent and Halilovic himself are serious about finding him the right club when the time comes to move then having shown a real long term interest could benefit us.
Not too bothered about Jedvaj if he moves to Roma or something like that, would seem to me that Halilovic was the one we were really after if that was the case. Surely having agreed a deal for both of them we could have agreed a fee for just one of them if just one of them wanted to agree a move at this time?

Baldini set the Jedvaj deal up for Roma before he left. Then Baldini comes to Spurs and Spurs try to make the double deal with both Jedvaj and Halilovic. Id say that indeed we did want him but he simply turned us down just like Halilovic did. They didnt want to join Spurs, now or in 1 or 2 years time

I see what you are trying to say but I think it's unlikely this deal will come off now as the door is open to many potential suitors. If Halilovic has any future intentions of joining Spurs we probably needed to pin him down to some sort of contract now. Another one that got away I'd say. Obviously I would love to be proved wrong and Spurs are furiously renegotiating things but I doubt it.
I think you are right on Jedi. Just a makeweight in the original deal by the sounds of it.
@AlexHoliga reckons the rumours are he could move this summer after all, with Arsenal the likeliest destination.

This Croat report says we are in Croation to finalise the deal for Halilovic. Deal close apparently.
