beavis17 Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Journo from the Sun: @BFairthorne: Levy been in Spain today to try and conclude deal for Alderweireld. Southampton also interested, but Spurs remain in pole position. Would Levy really need to go there personally? Ben Fairthorne @BFairthorne Jun 28 United have agreed fee with Saints & personal terms with Schneiderlin. Wasn't LVG's first choice but good long term replacement for Carrick. He also said this...

Matthew Le God Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Journo from the Sun: @BFairthorne: Levy been in Spain today to try and conclude deal for Alderweireld. Southampton also interested, but Spurs remain in pole position. His bio says... Worked for CNN, Base Soccer, The Sun, The Mail, IPC Media, Nuts Magazine and Frank PR. Worked at football agency with predominately Arsenal and Spurs players. The Sun Daily Mail Nuts magazine Quite a trustworthy CV then! Plus "Worked at football agency with predominately Arsenal and Spurs players", so a North London bias to his work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fairthorne is right about that, then that would mean Koeman lied in his interview on 29th June when he said there have been no serious offers. I think its more likely Fairthorne hasn't a clue.

Convict Colony Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 If Fairthorne is right about that, then that would mean Koeman lied in his interview on 1st July when he said there have been no serious offers. I think its more likely Fairthorne hasn't a clue. Yeah the BASED bit is a give away he's guessing Ben Fairthorne @BFairthorne Jun 28 Arsenal not had the interest expected in Schneiderlin. Based on previous 2 seasons, one expects he has somebody else lined up. Ben Fairthorne @BFairthorne Jun 20 Both Carvalho and Schnneidein on Wenger's hit list. Personally think MS would be the better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 (edited) @BFairthorne: Alderweireld talks have been very positive today. Levy confident he will become a Spurs player within next two weeks. He is probably a WUM. Edit: Seems he got fired by the Daily Star for continually making up quotes.

Saint Benali Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 Downside of doing loans. If the player does well means more interest from other clubs. Should of done permanent deal in January like we did for Bertrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broken spoke Posted 3 July, 2015 Share Posted 3 July, 2015 we might have tried that, but were told "no".... so we took what could get in the circumstances. No fault to SFC, Toby played a binder, around injuries. He's really good but has weak hamstrings... Apart from that I do rate him, he brings a calmness to our defence, it's a joy to watch him with Fonte.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
