Spurs were looking for 60m during that summer and settled for less than half in the winterYeah. Just this January Christian Eriksen moved to Inter for 25 million euros, despite also being in the last 6 months of his contract. If United want Telles now, they'll have to pay. If not, they can wait six months and battle it out with the rest of the clubs looking to sign him on a free.
Liverpool were not desperate though.Liverpool paid 5m down payment for Thiago. If they are demanding anything over 15m they can feck off.
Yet still robbed Inter.Spurs were looking for 60m during that summer and settled for less than half in the winter
We aren't desperate either and Telles is keen to join.Liverpool were not desperate though.
And players are desperate to join them.
Surely these two factors make a difference.
And whatever transfer fee we agree with Porto most probably would also be paid in installments because that's usually how transfer works .Liverpool paid 5m down payment for Thiago. If they are demanding anything over 15m they can feck off.
How so? Oh is it the whole "hes rubbish because he didn't have a instant impact" mentality?Yet still robbed Inter.
Indeed, and now Porto want 20m€ for a player who is valued at 40m€.Spurs were looking for 60m during that summer and settled for less than half in the winter
He's been declining for while and is 29 soon, he's probably on 200k a week too so will be hard to shift.How so? Oh is it the whole "hes rubbish because he didn't have a instant impact" mentality?
He moved during mid season to a new country, a pandemic then hit, and he has not had a full pre season with his new team. I know this is the Cafe, but I would give the guy some slack....
A year ago, in 3 months he will be valued at 10m..Indeed, and now Porto want 20m€ for a player who is valued at 40m€.
This really is quintessential cafe stuff.... 29 in 5 months, and every report says he took a pay cut and is on around 130k. What you label as declining, there's nothing to suggest that physically, hes not injuried a lot or ever relied on high intensity athleticism, he was unhappy at Spurs and wanted to leave for over a year.He's been declining for while and is 29 soon, he's probably on 200k a week too so will be hard to shift.
He's 27 and turns 28 in 2.5 months. How is everyone getting his age wrong?This really is quintessential cafe stuff.... 29 in 5 months, and every report says he took a pay cut and is on around 130k.

We'll pay. They ask for 18m pounds while we only want to offer 12m pounds, we will end up paying that 6m pounds with adds on.Yeah. Just this January Christian Eriksen moved to Inter for 25 million euros, despite also being in the last 6 months of his contract. If United want Telles now, they'll have to pay. If not, they can wait six months and battle it out with the rest of the clubs looking to sign him on a free.
I suggest you follow the conversation, rather then reacting to a specific part of a post, I mean when did he play for Spurs?He's 27 and turns 28 in 2.5 months. How is everyone getting his age wrong?
People need to realise he is coming in as an alternative option to Luke Shaw and won't necessarily replace him every game...this is to give us another option to break certain teams down. Luke Shaw will still play games.
We always said we need more depth in certain places and with the fee rumoured to be around £15m at rumoured £75k a week wages, relatively this is a low risk transfer and I am all for it.
And just in terms of Reguillon, the deal Spurs agreed with the buy back is something we would never agree with and yesterday game showed that defensively there are question marks over him (is he still sliding?)
Right now Telles is the best LB option available on the market with lots of experience and attacking characteristics. He currently has 2 goals in 2 games this season.
He's been a flop and benched a lot.This really is quintessential cafe stuff.... 29 in 5 months, and every report says he took a pay cut and is on around 130k. What you label as declining, there's nothing to suggest that physically, hes not injuried a lot or ever relied on high intensity athleticism, he was unhappy at Spurs and wanted to leave for over a year.
This summer has been an unprecedented level of incompetence. I'd find it hilarious if it wasn't happening to us.So we’re not getting him then? Whatever, at this point I don’t even care.
we’re allergic to signing players

Maybe take your incomprehension skills elsewhere as well, because you can't actually follow the conversation being had and just jumped in with a arrogant reply.Where have i said Telles plays for spurs?
This is the Alex Telles thread so it's pretty usual to speak about the player we are linked to rather than having a discussion about Erikson...take that to another thread
I'll be surprised if Porto is not selling him to anyone this year.O Jojo have said he is now closer to staying at Porto than he is to moving to United.
Yep think this will get done. We’re just going through the same dance we do with every transfer.I'll be surprised if Porto is not selling him to anyone this year.
The only summer that comes close to this is 13-14 when we got Fellaini after chasing Fabregas, Thiago, Herrera, Baines & many others all summer.This summer has been an unprecedented level of incompetence. I'd find it hilarious if it wasn't happening to us.
There was nothing arrogant about my reply. Oh and I love the irony of your last 2 messages and the insult throwingMaybe take your incomprehension skills elsewhere as well, because you can't actually follow the conversation being had and just jumped in with a arrogant reply.
And yet you reply to my post like I was talking about Telles, when it clearly shows I am talking about a player from Spurs. Not the brightest are you...There was nothing arrogant about my reply. Oh and I love the irony of your last 2 messages and the insult throwing
Incomprehension skills..... maybe you should look at yourself, I have never said Telles played for Spurs...Jog On.
No.How is £15mil fleecing us. He would be a £40mil LB with more years on his contract!
It would seems other premier League clubs would tend to agree with me as they haven't had such problems getting business done.
The irony calling me not bright when in the sentence i clearly state Reguillon.....also still the insults keep coming because you have been proven wrong.And yet you reply to my post like I was talking about Telles, when it clearly shows I am talking about a player from Spurs. Not the brightest are you...
He had a couple of lapses in the first half, but overall Reguillon had a good game, and provided the assist for our equalising goal. He has pace to burn, a great engine and most Spurs fans were impressed.... And just in terms of Reguillon, the deal Spurs agreed with the buy back is something we would never agree with and yesterday game showed that defensively there are question marks over him (is he still sliding?) ...
Yeah he had a good game, listing one error where he was trying to make up for his mistake is a bit harsh tbh, would have liked him to play for us but understand we don’t want the buy back clause.He had a couple of lapses in the first half, but overall Reguillon had a good game, and provided the assist for our equalising goal. He has pace to burn, a great engine and most Spurs fans were impressed.
And by the way, the buy-back clause will mean nothing if the player doesn't actually want to go back.
I think the main difference is we have a lot of muppets who live and die by transfer rumours and start ranting about shambles if they don't get their 15 second kick.We aren't desperate either and Telles is keen to join.
Fair enough if he had a good game. One of the issues for us was how clear he's made it that Real are his club and he sees himself going back there.He had a couple of lapses in the first half, but overall Reguillon had a good game, and provided the assist for our equalising goal. He has pace to burn, a great engine and most Spurs fans were impressed.
And by the way, the buy-back clause will mean nothing if the player doesn't actually want to go back.
right, nevermind his boyhood dream of being a key player for Madrid.He had a couple of lapses in the first half, but overall Reguillon had a good game, and provided the assist for our equalising goal. He has pace to burn, a great engine and most Spurs fans were impressed.

Well Madrid vs Spurs is very hard for player, especially for Madrid fan.right, nevermind his boyhood dream of being a key player for Madrid.
