Story emerging Spurs are messing about re Spence

[Nosmo-King]

Apparently no offer received. Story goes Spurs are looking to table a £10 million bid this driving the price down. I hope we sell him to Forest if this situation is true.( Northern Echo report)

 

[TeaCider]

Wouldn't surprise me, Daniel Levy special.

 

[Diego]

Seems the 20 million talk was way off. If that’s what we think he’s worth though I hope we don’t back off. Just hope it doesn’t go on too long. Sooner it’s sorted the better, we need players through the door

 

[Craggsy2]

I thought it was too good to be true when Mr Levy is involved.

 

[Nosmo-King]

Should play Levy at his own game and invite clubs interested to submit bids. If they( Spurs) lost out Conte would be VERY disappointed

 

[Ironops]

There will probably be other interest - I thought Arsenal and Frankfurt and even Bretford were 'monitoring the situation'

Less monitoring more bidding please

Levy only signs players on deadline day, not surprised at all, hopefully Man Utd are interested

Well he’s signed 2 already and is close to signing bissouma from Brighton for 25 mill

They have already signed someone.

 

[Nosmo-King]

Levy thinks he can dictate the price with us being a Championship side. Tell him to do one. Horrible man

 

[Diego]

I still think 15 million is a very good price and that’s the lowest I would go to, anything above that is brilliant

 

[Pak_Doo_Ik]

Looks like both side are using tried and tested measures of transfers

a) Buying club agrees deal with player, then get him to try and force a move to bring price down
b) Selling club leaks to press a bid has been tabled for a player in the hope in brings in other interested parties and increases the price

This could really ruin our transfer window, seems we are waiting on the Spence money before we can really do much. Expect we will be signing on deadline day again if this drags on

Levy knows this hence playing hard ball to drive the price down

David Ornstein from athletic now tweeting that Spence has expressed a desire to sign for Spurs and that’s his preferred destination this summer.

always expected this from Levy, he's a prat.

Give them a price and a deadline.

Another card for Levy to play. He can go to Spurs- if and when we receive an offer that matches our valuation. Otherwise no go

Yep. Trying to get the player to force it through to get the price down. I don’t like the feel of this. Can’t say I’m surprised with Levy like.
