Liked VdV at left back at the end of Ange's first season, think he kind of dragged us over the line to 5th.
100% thought he was brilliant in that positionLiked VdV at left back at the end of Ange's first season, think he kind of dragged us over the line to 5th.
What is this 'we tried' thing? I've seen a fair bit of this in the last few windows but it only comes from SPurs fans critical of Levy. I don't recall Spurs ever saying anything about how we tried for certain players. Stories emerge in the press, but that's the natural course of things. Spurs don't comment.We won't get either of them. This feels like classic Levy 'we tried' territory.

Think he will still go to Arsenal and we will likely have another failed transfer. Can't remember the last time we went head to head with arsenal and won a transfer. Last time I was optimistic was Baptista and I was very upset. Not sure why he was ropey as fudge.

So there IS no classic 'we tried'
Well that's just incompetence then...Levy could have just paid the release clause, pushed this deal thru and had Eze coming on in the second-half of the Super Cup to clinch victory. fudging Levy's fault if we lose on Wednesday.!!I think it’s as good as done to us. If he was going to Arsenal then I think it would have happened by now. It will happen Thursday most likely after the SuperCup. Can’t see us signing anyone before then.

and they went well!Bissouma & Royal
Would letting the clause expire be a way of working around any insistence by Palace that the full fee be paid upfront?
Surely it’s meet the release clause and buy. If we wait till Friday it becomes a free for all. Not sure what club to club talks means at this point
I thought they wanted him but wouldn't pay the fee how Palace wantedI really can't see this happening and worry that we are being used to force Arsenal to 'hurry up' as it were....
....but...
..on thing that makes me wonder: if Arsenal were serious about trying to buy Eze, would they have spent £50M on Madueke at this point?
Eze solves a lot of issues for them in comparison....
Arsenal were serious until the price and payment terms were mentioned, they don't has a pot to tinkle in and couldn't afford him.I really can't see this happening and worry that we are being used to force Arsenal to 'hurry up' as it were....

Some of their fans seem to think he will just wait for them…. MadnessArsenal were serious until the price and payment terms were mentioned, they don't has a pot to tinkle in and couldn't afford him.
They aren’tI thought they wanted him but wouldn't pay the fee how Palace wanted
They even paid above the release clause for the midfielder they got from Spain so they didn't have to pay a big fee up front
I genuinely think they aren't as flush as people make out
GoodThey aren’t
They have the ongoing debt from previous windows
Massive increase in wages
And so far spent €210m
Its an age thing though. Eze has no sell on value after this next contract, whereas Madueke they'll be able to get a decent fee for whatever happensI really can't see this happening and worry that we are being used to force Arsenal to 'hurry up' as it were....

Its why i dont think we've been in for him, nor will do unless the price/terms drop a lotThat sell-on value issue is in play for us too...
There is, you just weren't paying attention. You probably don't remember the famous 'actions of others' speech either (criticism of agent activity after we'd ... you know, tried).What is this 'we tried' thing?
