Alternatively, he could stay at Boro, be instrumental in getting another team promoted then get his move to the Spuds for £35m next summer with all the extra financial benefits that will bring him.
i think it rubbish the way it works because the fee agreed should be first thing that happens but reality is that agents are sounded out and have been told what sort of fee would likely be accepted and whether the player would want the move to the prospective buyersBut Spurs haven't had a bid accepted?
They can't legally speak to the player and agree terms without our permission, why would we give them that leverage/advantage without getting what we want out of the deal? (I know agents do it all the time)
If Forest 'really' want him and Spurs aren't making an offer at all currently what's to stop them sticking a 'take it or leave it' offer in to ourselves and Spence?
If Spurs don't bid, then Spence would be back training with us you would assume?
What have Forest got to lose if they do actually want him? Even if they offerd £8 million and £4million in add ons if they stay up etc.
They were desperate for him it seemed, lots of Spurs talk in the press, but no Forest talk at all, seems weird.
I wouldn’t take bets on who that will be! But bet it’s not Levy
De-fense...........Depends on what you consider to be the buckle - DL sat there smug & satisfied with himself for not signing the attacking right back they need & their - soon to be previous - manager had wanted... saving a few £ million & the £10-12m Boro rejected.... & another year of no trophies for 'mighty' (deluded) Spurs... as they exit CL at the group stages, get knocked out of League & FA Cups & vomit down the PL table... when Levy calls time on another manager - still nice stadium, "go De'fence" always the annual NFL to enjoy...
Short of the readies. £££Why aren't Forest bidding?
Or.....an entire football clubI can’t believe we’re living in a world where a player like Spence can have 1 decent season (5 assists, 2 goals at Forest) after being average at best for the rest of his career to date, and be linked with Arsenal, Bayern, Spurs at £20m.
I know he’s young and English, and how that helps but come on. I preferred football when £20m bought you one of the countries best players.
In fairness he is worth whatever clubs are willing to pay for him. If Spurs want to pay £10m and say they aren't going any higher, they soon will if another club come in and offer, say, £12mI've said it before on other threads and I'll say it again here... Spence is not worth £15 million. We're living in fantasy land.
If they want to pay 10m, and we want to sell for 15m... Meet them somewhere in the middle, get him sold and and move on.
It seems that two clubs have already bid the asking price according to a poster OneBoro, but Spence wants to go to Spurs.In fairness he is worth whatever clubs are willing to pay for him. If Spurs want to pay £10m and say they aren't going any higher, they soon will if another club come in and offer, say, £12m
We don't know, nobody knows.How long has Spence got left on his contract with us?
it's 2024. he signed a 3 year deal in 2020 and we triggered a 1-year extension last summer.We don't know, nobody knows.
I know. I was being facetious.it's 2024. he signed a 3 year deal in 2020 and we triggered a 1-year extension last summer.
