ITK Thread

that is true ITK. well done, some really interesting stuff there

Unfortunately, no matter how much Poch wants Schneiderlin and Schneiderlin wants Spurs, the financials of the deal will be the downfall of any deal. Like ive said before, if both sides are so willing then the deal would have been done or close to being done by now. As far as we know, Spurs havent even made a bid this summer. Says it all to me

thanks for the info anyway

SELL EVERYONE AND BUY SCHNEIDERLIN, GODDAMNIT! :p
 
re money/bid - going by the last few years it's been a sell to buy/break even policy in the market, Paulinho Capoue and shortly Stambouli would have all been moved on bringing in some funds so that could progress things.

also it's worth keeping in mind that not all deals are played out in public, no news doesn't mean nothing is happening behind the scenes...

I think Southampton will do anything to make this deal as uncomfortable as possible for us. I will be shocked if it happens before August or even the start of the season.

True, Paulinho Capoue and Stambuli sales would pretty much offset the Schneiderlin deal. But what about Toby...selling Townsend perhaps cancelling that out? Or Dembele....

Bentaleb better paid thank Kane? Must say that surprises me, and I do think highly of Bentaleb...

It matches up with some previous ITK from someone saying Levy was willing to go above market value to get it sorted, but Bentaleb's demands would make him one of the highest paid midfielders in the league.

he is probably on 60k a week and that figure is not amongst the highest in the league, id say its on par with midfielders outside the top 5

They obviously met somewhere in the middle. Personally I think around 40k would have been about right, but he might have asking for 80 or 90.

I don't especially want to reveal names but I'm fairly decent mates with a footballer in a Premier League squad.

That player had some friends around his pad last night, and I was one of them. There were 7 other well known footballers there, one of whom plays for Spurs.

We all talked and a lot of interesting things were said, but obviously I was interested in what the Spurs player knew.

So, here are some tidbits.

Lloris, Kane and Vertonghen will be our captains next season.
Nabil Bentaleb is unreal in training and is now better paid than Kane, Vertonghen, and a few other big names.
DeAndre Yedlin is actually quite good in training, but it took him 3 months or so to get used to the pace as apparently Sounders training was tinkle poor by comparison.
Stambouli wasn't actually part of a clique causing trouble. He hung out with them because he's French and Hugo is a bit insular.
Jesus Perez and Poch are a hilarious double act, and D'Agostino is a bit of a tough bastard with the players.
No-one at the club likes Kaboul, but they all respectED him hence electing him captain last season.
Everyone knows the club want Schneiderlin. This is why Dembele wants reassurances.
Soldado is an absolute beast in training and never misses. The club are desperate for him to succeed - and noone can figure out what's wrong.
Jan Vertonghen is the most popular player in the squad - the Alderweireld deal was in part to improve the club and in part to keep Vertonghen happy (he's not been happy with his CB partners)

And one of the players there is a Soton player, who said that Schneiderlin doesn't want to move to United: because he wants to play 38 games in a season, not be one of 6 or 7 top class midfielders.
He misses Pochettino and his training methods, and he wants to move to London.
The Soton player told me that Schneiderlin will be a Spurs player.

Pretty obviously who the source is ;) He is happy enough playing second fiddle again this season?

I don't care if any of that is true or not. I believe all of it.

Really interesting, thank you.

Would love to know the names but totally appreciate the need for anonymity.

Thanks again.

Not that surprising. When we extender Kane's deal we had the upper hand - he'd only recently signed a new contract IIRC and it was more a reward than anything. With Bentaleb, his contract was running out and it was a case of pay up or sell him.
