The L.C.A.B. / THT Transfer Window Thread ....

[GWS]

Let me guess...

* Spurs approach and get a pre-contract agreement.
* Chelsea come in and bid £3m.
* Spurs panic and also bid £3m. Everton knock it back as they're tired of the way Spurs are doing business.
* Chelsea talks break down over signing-on fee and wage.
* Spurs then have the £3m bid accepted, but are trying to haggle down to around £2m as the competition is gone.
* Pienaar's agent talks up interest from abroad to speed along negotiations.

I don't think Spurs have ever upped their offer of £2mill. They know Pienaar wants to join them. It's all sorted. Chelsea are rejected but Spurs won't budge from £2million, so Everton refuse to let the player's representative talk to them. The Agent spits his dummy out, threatening Everton with his client signing abroad which means we receive nothing. So basically stand-off. Close?

Perhaps we should threaten to bury him in the reserves for the remainder of his contract. See who still remembers him then.

I still think at that price he's worth hanging on to. It's only a couple of rungs up the Prem ladder prize money, and with him we can achieve that

No we never bid for him, just his agent trying to force 'Arrys hand which it did !!

I didn't know that. I want Kranjcar even more now

Pienaar isn't going to get a game at Spurs.

We play to his strengths. If he isn't the focal part of a team, if play isn't constantly going through him, he's half the player. That's why he flopped at Dortmund, and never got a kick at the World Cup.

In two years, he'll be linked with a return.

Dunno ya' know , B. Mizzzzzz' .

Kid can play like . Grafter too . At Tottenham ...????

As for talk about Bale being moved to accommodate Pienaar - I'm assuming that's very much tongue in cheek!

 

[Cairns_Toffee]

Why didn't the chelsea interest die? I'd rarther he went there than spurs even if we got less.

Spurs....bigger club than everton.

My understanding was the wages he was asking for. THT or LCAB can confirm? This will be his last big contract at his age so he is playing hardball.

 

[little curly alan ball]

No worries mate, much appreciated. Been to Cairns mate?

No . I'm McBillabong's House Bound , Post Treatment - IF HE EVER PAYS HIS DEBTS , THAT IS !!!

Looking forward to it , kid , tbh ...

I DIGS Convicts really . I just don't TELL them ...

 

[boris]

I'm still slightly hopeful Pienaar will play tomorrow but it's fading from what I'm hearing !!

Please god no!

He's done nothing this season and his head certainly won't be on it now, it's time to move on from him.

I know we go on about city, and boy do I hate them and their spending, but Real Madrid really do go in for everyone, don't they? I suppose it's easier to take when they're the biggest club in the world anyway, and in a different league, but it is shocking the cash they throw around.

It was the wages .

HIS PROBLEM was signing for buttons due to BEING A RESERVE ,...

Just saying that's the only way he'll be a success at Spurs.

He's too slight in stature to play in the middle, and I don't think he can run directly at defenders to play there either. He's not a right winger either as he'd be crap cutting in on his right foot; everything he would do would be horizontal.

So Bale to left-back is the only way he'll play. It'd be stupid, but otherwise he's going to be one of the long line of stupid signings for Spurs, a la Naughton.

Same or slightly under what Everton offered I heard. Funny, funny, funny!

It'd be hilarious if he had to backtrack and stay at Everton as he can't grab the contract he wants elsewhere!
