Excellent signing for you lot, think you’ll love him. Didnt work out here but he’s a good footballer, proper defender. Blocks everything, body on the line type. Probably not good enough on the ball at the highest level which was his downfall here but definitely can defend.

Hahaha, I imagine the add ons are bit more realistic than us winning something

That’s not what people close to Spurs are saying , those numbers are inflated. But either way, that’s just the price you pay as a Premier League club these days. As you say paying for potential and a long term option for us on a 6 year deal. Although he will slot straight into the side over the next few weeks I think

getting back to our sweet spot - young talented players on long term contracts. Love this signing

It’s nowhere near that much in reality. Think it’s £26 million, with lots of add ons.

Out of the blue lol This has been dragging on for ages.

Done deal. Got our LCB https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2023/august/van-de-ven-arrives-from-vfl-wolfsburg/ Any of the Germans or Dutch on here able to give us a scouting report?

Correct. It’s what I said all along. They will have known that too. Levy won’t be bullied on this one. If they want him that badly then they will need to just pay the fee. 5 days to go and then I think it’s all over one way or another

Brentford so stupid. Turned down more money from us and then getting desperate to sell later in the window.

Always wanted us to go shopping in South America. Obviously no idea about the player until recently but nice to see us making this sort of move

finally getting a CB (spending the Kane money imo)

Without a doubt, most disposable income goes on that. It’s not a sustainable lifestyle with partner/kids etc. very much a single man’s/woman’s game

Had a Tottenham season ticket since 1998/99 - go to pretty much every game home and away. Watch non Spurs football on Sky/BT/Amazon

Levy’d

@Dan should we have one season long bet too? Make things interesting

No surprise you’re using Virgin bet

Yup always said it would be about £100 million that would get Levy tempted. Just wish it would progress one way or the other. Hopefully the Mane sale accelerates and they can just offer what Levy wants, or we can issue an ultimatum and at a certain point we have to cut off negotiations because prolonging them helps no one

Going to go bold on opening day, Double: Coventry to win at Leicester Ipswich to win at Sunderland £10 returns £168 on skybet

Why would Johnson leave Forest for Brentford? Makes no sense to me. Sideways move at best

Yup, still depends on them actually coughing up the money, but things have definitely changed. Other than him staying this is the second best outcome though

Yes, every day. Best way to get around London

Yeah sounds like tomorrow is a big day. I’m pretty resigned to him going now. Bayern have realised they are going to need to pay what Levy wants, but think there is now a level of interest from all sides to get it done

That didn’t answer his question

What a club
