Infrequent performers? Two of those three - Rose and Alderweireld are currently part of our first XI - and Dier was previously before being struck down with illness.

Instead of complaining that Spurs refused to sell players to United I'd suggest that United go out and find their own new signings.
I’m not complaining Spurs refuse to sell players to United. I never wanted any of them.

The original point was in relation to the myth that Levy negotiates good fees for players and is adept in the sales market.

If he was at United I would hound him for his record.

Our booming income is based on many things. In the coming season it will be based partly on our first full season in the new stadium, with all its many hugely increased revenue streams compared to the old stadium.

Eriksen is not the "glue that holds everything together". If he leaves he will be replaced.

The main components of the glue are Levy, Pochettino, Kane … and now the new stadium, which will boost our income each and every year for decades to come compared to the old stadium.

As for salaries, we can now afford to pay more … and we will.
Like the 340k extra tickets you sold due to playing at Wembley?

You wages are half of ours, £100mill less than Arsenal

Levy definitely does have a hard-on for not selling to Utd though. There is no way we’d have got the deal City did for Walker.

It's like people forgot that we had person agreement with Bale and offered more money to Spurs but Spurs decided to sell him to Real Madrid for less price than we offered

Thanks but United don’t want your duds.

Not quite sure what you’re arguing here.

‘probably for money’, unquantifiable.

‘lack of investment in quality players’, a just reason for someone who ‘was part of the most successful period of United's history’ to leave.

‘based 30 miles from his home town’, not sure what that has to do with it either.

I’m now in a Rooney vs DDG debate which wasn’t my point but. . . Rooney & DDG both have/had wanted to leave. I still like them both; just find the way DDG is viewed for similar actions abit perplexing.

Anyway Transfer thread, let’s get back on topic.

DDG should stay now which is good news.
That's what this forum is about. Still love and chant about the guy who threw a fit all summer, called himself a slave and after two years of whining in the media finally got his "dream" move to Madrid and acting like DDG has been some sort of martyr all because he's been "quiet" with his demands to leave whereas the guy who never publicly said anything about leaving until Fergie made it public (absolute masterstroke that) but then still went on to stay at the club, become captain, lead us to titles and become the clubs all time scorer is the one who got hate all his time here.

Rooney was definitely wrong to want a move even if you could understand his point about the lack of investment in the squad but he behaved a thousand times better than Ronaldo, he behaved better than Rio and he was as quiet and respectful about his desire to leave as DDG has been and yet he's the only one who's gotten hate. I understand it was a far bigger shock that Rooney wanted to leave and we were all angry but he ended up staying and he wasn't actually batshit crazy about wanting investment in the squad. We would not be in the state we are right now if we actually had invested well then.

Christ you lot love a moan. Pay packets are heavily structured with performance bonuses. We made this shift years ago and were one of the first to do so. It was imperative to sign him to a long contract. Fans seem both detached from the reality of football economics, and ignorant to its intricacies.

Except @IrishRedDevil who made the only sensible post, which is why you are quoted.
Preach. Perfect post.

Spurs are not in any great need of money. We are in the global top 10 income-wise, with more income than Juventus, and have recently recorded profits larger than any football club ever.

Moreover, none of those three of those players have been sold … far less sold to strengthen a rival.
Can you back your claims with stats? Claiming spurs are bigger than Juve is quite a Statement

If the player doesn’t agree personal terms With United, I understand the ‘player didn’t want to go To United’ statement but levy not agreeing to the transfer fees means he doesn’t want to sell to a PL team

I understand you are a spurs Fanatic bit you need to look at things practically too.

Our income from the new stadium will exceed that taken from Wembley - which means that our overall income will continue to rise. Moreover, having a relatively low wage bill is a good thing … so I'm not sure why you cite United's huge wages bill as if it's some to be proud of.

I said Spurs now have a larger income than Juventus. According to Deloitte's most recent report (January 2019) it's 428.4m euros compared to 394.9m euros, a gap that will grow wider from here onwards. And shortly our income will exceed that of Arsenal, who currently sit one place above us in the money league.

And the cheese room,right?

Out of curiosity,what sort of bunce does the cheese room bring in? Monthly or annually, either figure is fine.

Interesting about Dalot. But I don't believe it one bit
Me neither. Dalot can be used as a back up option to both full back positions and can also be used as a winger. Makes no sense for us to sell a young player with potential.

Be surprised if we were looking to move him on as a priority, but we're absolutely right to not be basing our future around him being a cornerstone.

Agreed and that's why we went out and spent £50M on AWB. I think Dalot is a good young player with plenty of room to grow, selling him before the likes of Jones, Smalling, Young etc would be criminal.

Yeah, sounds like nonsense.

Though, to play devils advocate a bit, Ole clearly preferred Young to be starting RB all season...

Hah.. There is no way we are selling Dalot.. unless he is missing home and has asked to leave..

A young kid in a new league.. No team would give up after 1 season. No chance.

I could believe that if Maureen was still here, but under Ole I doubt it will have been the case. Possibly Dalot's asked about his future considering we've signed a new RB and he's been told he'll be second choice and can leave if he wants to find a club where he'll be first choice.
