Barsiem Posted 30 July, 2023 Share Posted 30 July, 2023 I may be a soft shite but I like the fact we are prepared to work with players who have been good servants to us to get the moves they would like. Both Romeu & Tadic are recent examples of this, Lambert as well many years ago. All players that were arguably worth more to us than the fees we got for them and left the club weaker overall, but shows we value them as human beings rather than as commodities. Compare that to how Levy clings onto Kane at Spuds... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have easily said no a few years ago, and won everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair comment, and Kane clearly isn't kicking up a fuss and may well get a move to Bayern anyway, albeit I doubt they would have been his first choice. On the flip side a lot can change in the 4-6 years players sign contracts for, and spurs were a lot stronger when he signed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 30 July, 2023 Share Posted 30 July, 2023 2 hours ago, AlexLaw76 said: Yep. We could have pulled the plug anyway . Matters not now You’re literally just arguing on pedantics now Lavia got injured on Tuesday night, Romeu transfer was done on the Thursday… - It generally takes 3-5 days to get a scan post injury depending on the injury - Romeu wasn’t in the squad in the Tues so likely we’d ratified most of the deal and certainly had the chat to allow him to leave So no.. I really don’t think its a reasonable assumption to think we could of ditched the plans that late in the day, had Lavia got injured earlier than maybe we would of pulled it ? Who knows As I said, hindsight says it was a poor choice, but at the time it wasn’t so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed a long contract, Palace never sold him so he had to honour that contract and now the window on him getting a big move has closed and he's had to settle.

Was he not told of the length of the contract? Was he not told he signed a contract? Kane, despite Levy holding him down, signed a deal for x-length of time. If he genuinely thought Spurs would challenge Liverpool/City then he is pretty deluded to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also signed a 6 year contract, yes probably on decent terms but still not putting in a release clause was another mistake. A proper agent would have been more of a match and Kane may well have won things. Not that is everything, aka MLT. It does seem to be the measure that you are judged by what you have won.

Probably correct tbh. 99.9% guaranteed a league title in Germany and a proper chance at Big Ears. His bedside table will have some silver stuff on it to make up for a goal record. Probably help England at the same time. 30 years old or what ever he is got to do it. You could cut Tiss in half and he would look like a stick of Rock with Saints written through him. (so thankful by the way that Chelsea check is in a frame on his wall somewhere). Fair play to him from an English player point of view, I’d probably watch a few more Bunders games on the tele. (Even though the games I have watched are pretty crap tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Mulgrew Posted 29 August, 2023 Share Posted 29 August, 2023 I have not seen this mentioned on here yet but I might be wrong: Oriel finally got two yellow cards in the same match last season for Girona and was sent off. Shame, an excellent record broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 29 August, 2023 Share Posted 29 August, 2023 I caught some of a Barcelona game a couple of weeks back. I was about to switch over, when I saw Oriel and stayed to cheer every touch he got, until he got subbed. A happy 20mins 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only shame for him is that Barca aren’t at Nou Camp this season due to refurbs, they’re playing at the old Olympic stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
