They why are you disputing what I've said about WBA's claims lacking credibility?

As for the rest of your post about Soldado, that been done to death elsewhere. Go search if you're that bothered.

I'm not. Just outlining your hypocrisy and how you believe what you wanna believe.

Only paid £13m for Soldado, deary me! Whereas when it's one of our signings, you seem to find the biggest fee reported which can be linked back to a tweet by Olabaji in Nigeria who obviously has an inside scoop.

I have plenty. Have a gander around. I even started a Clinton N'Jie thread the other day. Feel free to have a gander at your will.

On Berahino, awfully stupid tweet as I've alluded to and he seems to have form for being a bit of a dick. I'm pretty shocked that Spurs didn't wrap up his signing though. I thought it was as nailed on as Van Dijk to Southampton has been for weeks now. I feel Spurs will deploy Son and N'Jie as wide forwards and Kane will bear a massive burden with no out-and-out number 9 being brought in. The only saving grace is that both Son and N'Jie appear versatile and interchangeable and will probably be able to lead the line if needs be.

I provide evidence. Those who've disputed what I've said don't. So tell me, who relies more on mere 'belief'?
 
Can't blame Peace for refusing to be low balled on the last day of the window.

I imagine they'd have had their eyes on Austin had Spurs come up with a decent offer earlier on.

I doubt they would have went and got Austin. They've brought in Rondon and Lambert in this window.

What evidence? Please, do show me. Bare in mind, I've just found something rather interesting from your only credible source...




...and again he's just purely speculating like he was in the first place. Everyone and their dog (including Marca who you seem to put a huge deal of belief in based on your posts lately) was saying it was £26m because that was his release clause. How's that for evidence?

But you said you've got more sources readily available saying all you paid was £13m... Go on then, show me. It must be pretty easy to find if there's more than one. And please don't do a runner.

But going from Berahino to Lambert is essentially Premier League to Championship. I don't see Lambert and Rondon combined getting even half the goals Berahino would score over a full season.

Aye, but Rondon is their record purchase and I can imagine that he will be their main striker this season. I can only assume they had expected to lose Berahino had Spurs not dicked around.

Yet more fabrication. I didn't say that it was credible, nor imply that it was. I cited the Marca report as an example, in response to a poster who falsely claimed that the entire Spanish press was blaming RM for the deal collapsing.

Do you and others realise how much the whole standard of discussion gets dragged down and destroyed by the continual inventions and lying about what other posters have said? It's a fecking waste of space.

So you posted an article you knew wasn't credible, and new would wind up United fans?

Thanks for admitting you're a WUM, appreciate the honesty. I'll notify a mod.

So where is the back-tracking on the 50% up front claim? I don't see it. He simply changes his view as to what the headline figure was, downgrading it to £20m from £26m. And don't tell me that you believe, if you want to assume that his report his correct, that Spurs paid the whole £20m up front.

To be honest, I'm tired of engaging in this pedantic discussion ... it's not as of the idea of a 50/50 split between up-front and potential add-ons is outrageous. After all, it's reported that a huge chunk of the fee for Martial is potential add-ons: £36m rising to £59m

My god you're fecking tiresome. Do you do anything else but fabricate? As I've already said, I didn't comment on the credibility of Marca's claim one way or the other,
I cited the Marca report as an example, in response to a poster who falsely claimed that the entire Spanish press was blaming RM for the deal collapsing.

But go ahead, tell a mod, tell your teacher, tell your mummy ... knock yourself out.

You are incredible :lol: Your only source just said that you paid £20m yet you spin it so it's £13m plus £7m :lol:

Yet again (sigh) - that's not what I said. I do wonder at the reading and comprehension skills of a fair few posters on here. Do you see any mention of £13m or £7m in my post? No, but you just decided in invent it anyway.

Brilliant! And so enlightening for other readers!
 
Spurs should have paid up. Their squad looks so drab at the moment. A far cry from a few years ago.

Son looks an exciting player and maybe N'Jie will get there but they are so light in the striking department. I honestly thought that Berahino was a nailed on signing but as-per usual, Levy dicked around. Their midfield is also beyond underwhelming.

I suppose we'll have to see how good those two are.

Once again the greatest chairman in the history of football has done a fantastic job. Hasn't paid up and been stuck with Adebayor. Happens every year with Spurs and people think because he doesn't sell cheap he's a good negotiator.

I think you may have misunderstood the tweet. Burt is saying the ENTIRE fee (including any add ons) was 20m. He's not saying its 20m up front. So i think @GlastonSpur is right when he says there's no evidence to the contrary.

And, i've just read last 4 pages of this thread and i have to say i agree with glaston. There's plenty of occasions he says something stupid and wummy but i dont think this is one of them

He says 'more than I thought' which basically means that he accepts that the fee was not £13m. He's not bringing down possible total of £26m from his previous statement to £20m with add-ons, he's merely stating that £13m guaranteed was not correct (obviously because Valencia were never letting their star player go for £13m).
 
Most sources seem to corroborate that it was a £13m initial fee followed by a number of other payments, some guaranteed, some not, and that Spurs ended up paying ~£20m. So nothing to see here.
 
Refreshing to see Levy meet his match and for West Brom to keep their top player.
 
haha Levy is a douche and Spurs are in an awful situation. Their only decent players are Eriksen and Kane. I applaud WBA for standing firm. Can see a 7-8th place finish for Spurs this year.

That's not how I see it, but interpret as you wish because I can't be bothered with it anymore ...
 
I know some rate this kid. Why didn't we go for him when we gave them Lindergaard and Evans?
