Spurs fan in peace...
I could completely understand your situation yesterday & I feel for you guys.
We had 32m bid accepted for Willian, came to club, met with other players, gave his piss & completed his medical, then when he was about to sign the contract, goes missing. Only to be seen posing with agents with a signed contract from Chelsea. On that day, personally I was at my lowest with regards to my club. There is nothing our club could have done more. Almost all fans across the league trolled us & it pains me till this day.
Atleast, in your case, you could solace Sissoko is not as good a player like Willian.
With regards to us - Pochettino stated after Liverpool game he wants a Mane type direct pacy midfielder. I am convinced Sissoko was a target for a long time. Levy just didnt want to give what Mike Ahsley asked. From what I understand, our club agreed terms with players agent the previous day. That is why he got the permission from Deschamps to travel from International camp.
Once he came to London, Levy lowballed bid 16m. He was hoping to get this done btw 20-25m. I gather from press, agents sold you Sissoko and dragged you in.
Apparently, Pochettino had already told Levy, he wants Sissoko what ever is the cost.
End of the day, agents kind of used Everton to force a bid from Levy.
