Nobody outside of Gibson, Bausor and the negotiators from the Spurs side have any idea what the specifics are. I’d pay no attention to anything about the mechanics of transfers until the deal is completed and announced by those involved.
All this media talk is just noise IMO. Driven by clicks, likes and shares. I listened to a podcast on The Athletic yesterday and it was essentially five grown men discussing transfer tittle-tattle as if it was gospel. One of them actually said “it’s a fact, well, it’s not a fact but it’s probably a fact as we understand it,” when discussing Raheem Sterling’s potential move to Chelsea. I won’t bother listening again, it’s not worth the time.
I thought about Boro appointing Alan Fettis as ‘keeper coach yesterday and wondered if someone from Man. United had ‘leaked’ something somewhere along the line, “Boro want one of our goalkeepers,” because we’d enquired for Fettis. People assumed we wanted Henderson or Heaton.
It just shows that what’s in the papers is almost always rubbish when it comes to details. Clubs, officials, agents, whatever, may leak bits and bobs but it’s rarely worth taking notice of. As if anyone would *actually* know what Levy was doing or thinking about signing Spence.
