I mean Manchester 'giver of crazy wages' United found his demands high. I know the lack of UCL was another reason. However, if this happens, then it will be quite a coup by Spurs. It might also mean Eriksen going to United. But Dybala would be better suited for Spurs than United. I agree with all of that but aside from Champions League participation, there is also the detail of Mauricio Pochettino being Argentinian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,204 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I doubt Spurs would have put the offer in if they didn’t have an indication from Dybala’s side that he’d be interested in their wage packet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 @Stan Agree, Spurs are a better club presently compared to United. Also being in London helps. @SirBalon true about Pochettino's presence, but I have a feeling that unless Spurs have a good season (ie win something or find themselves in the running for the title) he will leave if a more high profile job becomes available. I am looking at Madrid (Zizou and Perez fallout) or funnily United (if Ole doesn't improve the side). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcanuck 175 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If United weren't prepared to pay for Dybala's image rights which are owned by a third party and have been said to cost 15m and pay his agent the rumoured 13m he wants, what makes you think Spurs will?

I think the pertinent question to ask is what has changed since United pulled the plug on the deal? If Dybala didn't want to join United as it was, something has gone down since then. Levy is a shrewd business man, it makes little to no sense for him to gamble on a player like Dybala unless 1) he wants to play for Pochettino and it secures the manager from leaving for Manchester United 2) an agreement has been reached already between the player and the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same position I believe Spurs are in now. It's the image rights that are still an obstacle here. They are owned by a third party and unless they are sorted out this deal won't get done. Do you think Levy will pay an extra 15m for image rights? Personally if Spurs getting Dybala means United get Erikson, I would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story that comes from Italy is that Dybala asked Man Utd for more on wages and then backed out at the end. Nothing to do with third parties. Anyway... Seems a deal has been struck between Dybala and Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I think that paying that amount for image rights is risky in this case but I get it. Levy is a shrewd man when it comes to numbers or if he feels he's being ripped-off. I can't see him being manipulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2019 Tottenham have reached an agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Argentina forward Paulo Dybala, 25, for a fee in the region of £62m. (Sky Sports Italia, via Mail) Dybala is set to begin contract talks with Spurs before Thursday's transfer deadline.(Goal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 971 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Would be a massive massive signing for Spurs, the fee is about right. However will they agree on his wages which are reported to be very demanding. There isn't a man on this world who fucked Levy over, you can't trick the man he is a Bond villain.

Administrator Stan 18,378 Posted August 7, 2019 Administrator Share Posted August 7, 2019 Paulo Dybala is very close to reaching Tottenham. It is expected that by tomorrow the last obstacle to its signing will be unraveled: image rights. Poch close to having the Argentine striker who rejected United.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted August 7, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2019 From what I've seen on Twitter and podcasts, Dybala made very high wage demands to United because he didn't really want to go there so they had to make an offer he couldn't refuse. You can easily see why, with Spurs in the Champions League and a manager who the players all seem to love working under, he wouldn't approach them in the same way.

And Arsenal, don't forget. Pepe for £72m. And Villa - total spending so far £133m. And the Manchester clubs - £280m together. And Wolves, Everton, Leicester all spending around £80m each so far.

Also, I'm waiting for the nauseating 'plucky Liverpool' shouts as Spurs got last year, for not signing anyone, despite their huge wage bill.

'Venom'. You say moan about it but in the same breath, I didn't see you giving Spurs any credit for barely spending anything on their squad yet still went superbly well in Europe and nearly won that CL trophy.

Chaaay AFC 357 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Actually think this would be a bad signing for Spurs. Would be a good miss for them, keeping Eriksen and adding Lo Celso makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
