Spurs seem open to sell, was just a cold hard rejection from Eriksen.

what now?
Oh Shit. I am calling it now. We are going to fall out of the top six. Feeling dejected. Only saving grace will be no Europa League the following season.
Or, just 150 million. It's not great, and I wish our midfield and attack wasn't so stale, but we have made spent big on two players. It's not extremely little spending as some are making it out to be.We're going to end up with a net spend of £75m after Lukaku is sold
So much for supporting Ole with all our power.
Coutinho I guess but we'll actually end up with Lemina if anyone
Another top player has rejected us.. in other news, water is wet.
It could be either but engaging in these discussions this late just screams to me lack of planning and foresight by the board, manager and his staff. Anyone, who'd watched us last season could tell there's a lack of creativity and goals in our squad. We did absolutely feck all to rectify that this summer. We deserve everything that's coming our way this season.
Lukaku will be sold, his position is untenable. Woodward will fold on deadline day. We've been linked with absolutely no striker this summer. I don't count Dybala because that was dropped into our lap, we never planned a transfer target for that position.

"Hope. Let me tell you something about hope. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It has no use in the transfer forum. You better get used to that idea"
Red, Shawshank Redemption.
Red, Shawshank Redemption.
Real wont bid until our window shuts, would be silly too.
Yes. The fact that Eriksen would have no compelling reason to move to us is a large reason why this deal was almost impossible.
I think its the usual Woodward's BS were he tries to make unrealistic last minute signings only to turn to fans saying that he really tried his best. Bottom line of the story is Lukaku's money will be used to pay for Maguire.
Quite rightly if true
Fecks sake
So all the media frenzy yesterday was made up bollocks, what a surprise.
Yeah, but when you say "Sporting", most people think of Sporting Kansas City, the famous MLS team.
Let's play Gomes and buy a DM instead to replace Matic
Ed has fooled us all. We all knew chances were we didn’t spend >100m. The defence will help , but we don’t have enough in midfield, and one injury away from disaster.
Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck
Exactly this. He will fold and take 50 million. He could have sold for more weeks ago but he relied on his amazing negotiating skills and legendary poker face yet again...
Yeah true, I actually feel they may go hard on Pogba when it shuts too.
That is a bunch of crap. Going to end up spending around 80 million net which is atrocious. You do know Manchester United make the 3rd highest revenue in world football. Its a well known fact. You know where that money is going. Certainly not spent on improving anything to do with the football club. Enjoy Manchester United falling out of the top six then this season. I sure won't.
Back to the Lemina thread!

Wasn't this place once famous for mocking 'net spend la'.
Spot on and majority of fans fall for it. Just wait until the end of the window and Woodward will come out saying they had £200 million available if Messi or Mbappe was on the market.
Yes, but you're using it differently.
Liverpool / Tottenham were praising a low net spend as a sign of good business, i'm not.
Can someone explain to me how Eriksen sticking to his guns, holding out for his dream move to Madrid, is in any way Ed's fault?
Because I don't get it.
Because I don't get it.
I'll cook my favorite fedora if this window closes with Ericksen as our player
I think it's more to do with panic negotiating for players that we have very little time and chance to actually sign. It's incompetence on the clubs behalf and we should have been able to bring in a midfielder. We have obviously looked at 2 or 3 but to be bullied in the market as Manchester United is ridiculous. Worst of all is, this is becoming a regular occurrence.
Assuming the story came from United's side yesterday WTF is the point in briefing positively about a possible transfer one day then briefing that it's off the next? All it does is rile up an already disenchanted fanbase.
It's not, but it does show lack of planning. They could have found that out in a 2 minute telephone conversation. We've wasted the absolute business end of the window chasing 2 players that don't want to be here.
Well a day to go, you'd have to assume we would have had other targets than the likes of Erikson...a player we should of checked if he'd fancy a move at the start of window btw, but no...lets feck around and chase him with two days to go because he hasn't landed another MF target
Course you do, because you quoted yourself.
I do think it's a bit simplistic to blame it all on Ed. But if he was only interested in a move to Spain, we should have figured that out months ago and moved on to another target.
Agree with you. You dont get if you dont ask. Saying that the fact that we are trying to sign a midfielder with less than 48 hours to go is the fault of Ed
Tbh Erikson moving to Madrid will be good for us anyway. Less likely to want Pogba, and we've got Gomes who could potentially be even more talented.
To be honest, most Spurs fans knew that months ago.
Briefs out in full over this one, annoying any interest got out in the first place given ignorance is bliss
