FAO Tottenham Hotspur | Fighting Cock Goes Into Meltdown

Cheers for rubbing our noses in it, bad enough he will score against us on Feb 16

I read through the last 15 pages of the Tel transfer thread and didn't see the option thing mentioned once, but rather the opposite being the impression as it was
mentioned time and time again that this was a deal without an option to buy.
Just thought a poster or three would be interested in the fact that indeed it was with an option to buy, and that the option could explain the higher loan fee.

Rubbing it in is just an accidental bonus.
At least I am very much striking from below. :cool:
 
If these details are true (need to click through to see the full tweet) it sounds like a terrible deal for Spurs and I'm not surprised at all that Arsenal and United wanted nothing to do with these kinds of terms.

They'll spend 65-70m euro in loan+transfer fees if they do acquire the player but if Tel opts to stay at Bayern or test the market in the summer then Spurs' option won't count.

So its really like a dry loan with an agreement between the clubs on what the fee will be if he does move in the summer to Spurs and that fee plus the loan fee is a really high number for a 19-year-old attacker without much track record.

Yep, horrendous deal! I’m glad we steered clear in the end even in our dire situation.

This is indeed worse than the terms reported yesterday.
The loan fee is highter and the fact that Tel can refuse to come even if Tottenham wants to exercise the option is a big let down compared
to what was reported yesterday. That potential 6 year contract isn't worth the paper it's written on if this is true.

Bayern are laughing their ass out. 12 m for 6 months loan + 65 million if made permanent.

Seriously man - he isn't going to make a huge difference to Spurs and he can just reject them end of the season.

One thing is the loan fee, Spurs is maybe in a position to take a punt on that, but the fact that he can then reject the move at the end is just horrible.
We have truly been desperate if this is true.
