48 hours is a long time in on a Sky Sports news desk. Two days ago the satellite broadcaster said Tanguy NDombele to Tottenham Hotspur was a done deal.
Lyon boss Aulas waited little time before blasting the story.
“If I wait another eight days, it will be 80 million … Tottenham has made a first proposal to 45 million, Since then, we discussed. In fact, I can assure you. We are not in a hurry either, Tanguy has shown these qualities in the French team, he is one of our best players, how much is it worth, I do not know but more than 45 million.”
The Sun
18 hours ago, the Evening Standard claimed that the player had been to Hotspur Way. Presumably to wander about with his jaw dropped, marvelling at all the world-class facilities.
Having spoken to a source close to THFC, the Harry Hotspur blog understands that everything is true.
Sky jumped the gun on the story.
Mr Aulas is enjoying any fleeting torment he can inflict on Daniel Levy.
Spurs are confident a final agreement will be closed in due course.
It was also reiterated to me that Levy is genuinely doing his upmost, this time around. Honest guv, etc.
I’d like to remind him that we currently owe inxs of 600M GBP!
no no no no no – I insist upon going first!
He’s got two good feet
‘Being offended’ is now both a form of currency and an industry…
But it happens every year. That’s why when dorks like him who called me out this morning about giving Satan a break can fuck right off. The reason I’m gonna give the twat grief is he doesn’t operate in the best way for THFC. It really is that simple. Doesn’t mind giving himself a 3m bonus for a ground he delivered 5 months late, and we’ll over budget. Bet he didn’t pay that back. His whole philosophy seems to be to try and blag his way through. Hope that other teams ain’t good enough to get top 4, banking on people having short memories about various sales that seem to get forgotten because they got a shiny new building to look at. Deluded souls
She’s a decent geezer.
People fucking pretend these days, much more than they used to. Whatever makes them look cool and popular rules everything.
Nobody really seems to have opinions, just a question of keeping up with the zeitgeist and clocking up ‘likes’.
Most of them find something like Family Guy hilarious it’s just a case of laughing in private and thinking “there’s no way I could say that, like to or about anyone?”
This has nothing to do with being compassionate, it’s about being bloody popular…
Oh we play them in the semis. Gonna be a tough.
Urbs. That finances thing you posted below . Cheers man. Amine harit (schalke 04) come Tottenham son☺.
Watching France v USA women, I think this PC, trans rights thing has gone too far, France appears to have convinced Leroy Sane to switch both country and gender.
When the women teams are evenly matched I really enjoy watching it. These yanky girls are good. We’ll beat them in the final☺
Swap shirts on the pitch bitcheeeeeeees???
Off topic, I just bumped into this which I found interesting. Can’t speak for its accuracy, and if it’s old news to you my profuse and profound apol……. I mean, tough sh*t.

Try again
Yeah Billy that’s a good point….wonder how many took the season ticket plunge this week on the Ndombele news??
Here’s today’s feature.
Listen to the atmos…….anyone who thinks the ‘Visa bowl’ will be louder and as partizan as this is sorely mistaken.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n41doO4cMIU
I don’t think he cares mate, I think it’s fair to say he’s a thick skinned bastard and as I say it’s the same story. Big names linked, season ticket renewals, once that all dies down the reality of an investment company owning you hits home. Maybe it is gonna take something like this, throw in poch walking and possibly kane to get the momentum to oust these bastards once and for all
It all came from Gianluca Dimarzio the Italian sky correspondent. Levy chucked him a few euros perhaps? Heh heh. Although can’t see how its helped him, its made him look even worse if deal doesn’t get done.
Its irresponsible when the likes of Andy Goldstein report it as fact and say “he is playing at the new WHL this season” . people are going to fall for it, its why I and a few of us spent the last few days like a broken record saying ….NOTHING is done don’t get spun again.
“Doing his utmost”…kinda like when he was “doing his utmost” to get the stadium built on time and within budget. We see how that worked out.
The bald midget is useless, time to send some pipe hittin’ brothers with a pair of piers and a blowtorch to “have a chat” with him.
Which begs the question, how did that story get out into the press? My personal belief is someone is playing the same games he plays every summer, give the impression of trying when the reality is a world apart. What really bugs me is why do people still fall for it, it’s the same storyline just a different cast
The manager has said it. Now if he’s lying then there needs to be a statement released to the press to clarify that. But there isn’t gonna be, because we know poch is telling the truth. Which leaves the very real possibility that a certain someone who’s primary concern is not the football club, is hoarding cash for his primary concern. Now earlier on it was out to me that I don’t know about transfers. Then again I don’t profess to know the ins and outs of every deal. But I do know this. In January we sold a midfielder for 12m. Who was on 90k a week, figure put about in general. There’s another 1.5m, more actually but we’ll go with that, that wasn’t replaced in any way whatsoever. So if anyone can tell me why that 13.5m can’t be put towards the transfer of Ndombele, thus bringing down the figure the hypocritical twat will have to pay to a very reasonable amount for a star half of Europe is after, I’d love to hear it.
French journo has written Ndombele can do better than ENIC fc,……this is looking like it could be Levy’s crowning balls up.
Its really odd the likes of sky and talksport can report a fee was agreed before ANY confirmation from either club. We now know it wasn’t agreed at all. The only thing keeping this deal from collapsing is nobody else has bid yet. Levy has bid 45 mill, that’s all and its not even close to enough. These reports all took Dimarcios so called itk as fact. He said Arnautovic was going back to Florence when he had never played there so……
Why is the reply button still fucked?
I would be sceptical about Levy going back on written agreements if it weren’t for the fact he has a track record of doing so. Just read what Fergie had to say about him. Hopefully this deal will go through despite the worst efforts of the greedy egotist as it looks like It could plug the biggest gap in this squad.
We bought anyone yet?
No, ok i’ll check back in another week.
When does pre-season start again?
More likely see a flying pig. Just hope when it falls to earth it lands on Levy with a high velocity.
I think he would get strung up – Poch will leave and the fans will revolt if we don’t get a top signing here. I don’t mind playing hard ball, but you need a track record of success. Perhaps Lyon president wont budge on £80m? The lad aint worth that much.
Now being reported by the telegraph that spurs are unlikely to increase the offer for Ndombele. Well now. That’s a great bit of business. That’s why the discussions are happening with West brom, because quality is not the deciding factor. We looked at central midfield and so he got us one. In the not to distant there will be alot of talk, Cullen probably or one of the other satanists to tell us what a world beater skipp is. And so, when we talk about a shit business man, the little twat is the gift that just keeps giving. Daniel. Please for the sake of my heart just FUCK OFF
Spurs_est1882 June 28, 2019 at 12:15 pm
Correct me if I am wrong…but don’t we still have an issue with Homegrown talent for the sake of the CL? So Ndombele replacing Dembele is not a problem, but the rest of the squad we will need to release a foreign player to sign one, or sign more English?
Hence the Clark deal probably..

???????????
Sessegnon(nobody defends now anyway)
Ndombele
McGinn
Ianis Hagi
Lozano…..
That’ll do pig….
And this is still just a 2 year late Moose replacement……Ndombele in 3 windows doesn’t equal a change of form. 3 or 4 more minimum. Can anyone see that happening?
Chief executives of companies are normally rewarded with substantial pay rises for outperformance. I fail to see why Levy has earnt his, but then he owns 30% of Enic which owns the club. It’s a funny way of doing business to reward yourself for failure. What was the point of selling Dembele in January. I know he was knackered but for the sake of getting another six months playing time out of him, it struck me as another poor decision in a long line of bad decisions by Levy.
Fake news then, I thought it was all too good to be true. I bet Mr Bungle is struggling over every pound involved in this transfer deal. Can just imagine him in a personal battle with the Lyon chairman that takes up days, haggling to reduce the cost by a fiver. Just get it done baldy it’s not your money. Just for once do your coach a favour. Just for once do us long suffering fans a favour. Mend your pathetic ways that are costing this great club multiple trophies. Give the coach a squad he can seriously challenge with, admit you know nothing about football, not to mention how to get a stadium built on budget and time apparently. Why the hold up? Perhaps he’s waiting for another club to come in and save him from doing the unthinkable and spending all that money, then he can toddle off and concentrate on what he does best, buying cheap, crappy players that get us nowhere.
Give it some welly…this is it. PSG and Utd etc have gone very quiet. If it drags one of them could stick up the cash, if its true personal terms with Utd are agreed it could go south quick smart. Levy needs to get this done. Pay the Piper.
Levy I believe is on £6m a year…that is £115k a week – his negotiation style is “to drag it out” so lets say each one he is involved with works out 4-5weeks longer, so basically half a million more…surely if you are so high paid you need to deliver faster or at least better than others?
As far as Ndombele goes, ive repeated nothings been done. This has all come from the DiMarzio report……Sky’s Italian correspondent……figures.
Can I just remind the chap below that Levy hasn’t actually bought anyone yet…
People really think Levy and Lewis built that space mall for “us”.
Kill me
That is an employee. I refuse to believe these are real fans. “The massive stadium he has built for us”
With his bare hands (no) and own money(NO) fuck off nothing touches WHL anyhow.
Listen mate its fairly simple. Don’t think he’s got all this money here, TV has. And when his lack of understanding of the need for transfers hurts the club, don’t give me grief about it, see your beloved chairman
Yes, and he’s bald to boot.
The absence of debt is something that always underpinned the Levyologist mantra.
Now they simply ignore it.
Much like the Labour Party being the friend of all, now conveniently ignoring the rampant Anti Semitism…
Apologies for a brief reply then, I’m at work and shouldn’t have a phone with me. Now in response to the claim that this man has built us a stadium that is gonna bring in massive revenue. OK. If that happens great. And your quite right. However the fact remains that we are fucking about over one of Europe’s top talents. That says to me the revenue is gonna go elsewhere. As marbella points out it was months late and we’ll well over budget. Facts. That’s not good business. Neither is not sorting a naming rights deal out which will greatly reduce the debt. Neither is buying cheap crap in the hope that you stumble across another bale like deal. Neither is waiting til the last minute to do deals as you believe you will get a bargain when it’s a sellers market. Unless by great business your referring to what he does for enic. They haven’t invested in the club fact. They have us in debt big time fact. The money coming in is through TV deals fact. Now if the ground does generate massive money and it gets put straight into the team then great ill hold my hands up cheerfully. Until such time as there’s massive investment in a team that lost 20 games last season, investment in a giant club he’s merely the custodian of, his words, I think I and everyone else has the right to slate the highest paid chairman about. One league Cup in 2 decades speaks volumes…
But is he any good?
I hear you.
Despite wild claims from dementors, I do pass on info both good and bad.
Billy the yid, I suppose you could do better than Levy if given the chance, Yeah right! You know nothing of what goes on in footballers transfers just like the rest of us. So how about getting off Levy’s back and just marvel at what he has brought to our beloved club, instead of jumping on the guys few faults from past dealings. It seems to me he is trying to change his ways this time around, now we have major funds coming in, through the massive stadium we have ‘O’ that’s right the one Daniel Levy built for us.
I don’t want to hear he’s doing his best. To quote Sean Connery in the rock, losers whine about doing their best, winners go home and fuck the prom queen. Further illustrates the myth that he’s a good business man. He isn’t. A good business man identifies areas of weakness and decisively acts to improve said areas. Not sit on his arse and say well we didn’t get Ndombele but we got this kid from West brom for free instead. Not good business.
Billy the yid June 28, 2019 at 1:23 pm
no – it could be because they are having it in the famous THFC cheese room while sitting on chairs bought at poundland by heirflick, smelling all the blue cheese and farts that come with a day of cheese and wine? the actual transfer talk is going great, both parties not budging and not talking.
1882, yes a few too many overseas. I’m assuming Eriksen leaves so that’s one place, getting 1 player in will be something at the moment.
Is Gascoigne gonna have a crack? June 28, 2019 at 1:05 pm
Sessignon will add the English contingent, but likely at the expense of a player that already counts as home grown. The rest we will have issues with, other than the nationality problem, that is a decent list, but I wouldn’t mind Puscas either – but nationality an issue again
Cheers spurs 1882, your right of course but best whisper that I think. On a lighter note, I do love how the press are reporting we are looking at another few signatures this summer. Hang on. We haven’t got one yet. 500 days and counting…
Lyon have described talks as excruciating. Now I must apologise to yidforlife, obviously I’m not partial to negotiations. However I did manage some English at school and that says to me that Satan is at it again and generally not helping spurs. Might be busting a gut for enic, but as ever doing the right thing for THFC ain’t his priority.
Billy the yid June 28, 2019 at 1:14 pm
Sad world when a star or a cross offends people!! you may not agree, or share the belief…but offence…that is nuts.
Saw a meme the other day (I know, hip and down with the kids) “how could a generation raised on south park and family guy get so offended by everything…” and I thought, so god damn true!! TV seems to be going off a cliff for being offensive and the people watching it are going in a polar opposite way. So much for the belief that TV corrupts youth.
Ps, if the star of David offended anyone I do apologise. How er I do use it alot and caught it by accident. Suffice to say I won’t be getting an invite to the corbyn household for dinner..
Lilywhite without the ll June 28, 2019 at 1:03 pm
Clark is one for the future – I believe the rumour was Leeds get him back on loan for a year, and first refusal on all future loans. So I cant see him solving that issue.
Eating lots of cheese.
Levy doing his up most…what, by bidding well below market rate and asking price? Honestly, I said from the start we would probably get him for £55m, it annoys me that both chairman cant just pick up a phone. Took me an hour to agree a price for a new house, and that is 10x my annual income. This is what, 1% of revenue and the difference is 10% of that, so haggling over 0.1% of revenue. I know its millions, but lets be honest, this lad will turn us from competing for 4th placed trophy to actually trying to win stuff…sadly we are in a position that he should have been got last year as now we likely will also need another forward, 2 full backs, an attacking midfielder and a centre half.
Ayidforlife eh?, dear God I hope you are 85
Better than Aurier, reportedly!
Agreed. Utterly deluded garbage.
It’s taken 20 years, one League Cup (11 years ago) and getting lucky with a coach that somehow managed to get the Levy’s 8th net spend to 4th again and a Champion’s League final before he starts spending what clubs below us spend!
The bar was so fucking low that Levy raising it to an acceptable level for one transfer seems to give some people hard-ons. Grow up, ffs….
Never post your drivel on here again.
Goodbye.
Just to mention once again that Levy managed to go twice over budget over the stadium, leaving us with a debt of £600 mill. Not very astute for a reputedly shrewd businessman.
Just our luck to be stuck with the little arsehole. FA might as well dock us 10 points each season. He must be the most hated man in football.
Levy is being screwed by the Lyon chairman for his pathetic attempts at saving a miserly few quid in the Lloris deal a few year back. What goes around comes around and the little twat is being punished. Unfortunately so are we.
Mr Bungle must get peoples backs up with his unbelievable tightness. Most chairman want to screw him over, in fact there’s probably a queue. Aulas is unlucky to have to deal with the little time waster twice in one lifetime. He’s not about to let this second opportunity slip by without giving Mr Bungle a good kicking. Give him one for me mate – right in his little goolies, but after you’ve finished please sell us the player.
Next bid….46 mill and Onomah.
What could be holding it up ?
Asking for low down payment, monthly installments at no interest, complete with warranty for any faults incurred.
In other words, a bunch of horse sh– that comes natyrally with dealing with certain parties.
Actually, I think Aulas is having a little bit of fun with Daniel this time around and making him squirm.
The telegraph printed what Aulas said about Levy after Lloris deal. “In 25 years of experience in deals nobody has been as difficult to deal with as Tottenham(Levy)”
Utter twat
It doesn’t even seem like the report of agreed fee is true. According to Aulas only 45 mill has been offered. Levy is actively fucking this deal up. NOTHING is close to done says the Lyon chairman. He says if it drags on they will be asking for 80 mill.
Levy….just get out this club you prick.
The other problem is he’s now paying the price for being an arse hole all thise years. And quotes attributed to poch, we need signings and over two years we have saved enough to make them. So remind me again why the fuck we are pissing about with this deal? We still have the dembele fee to come off the price and the manager is saying we got the money. So what on earth could be holding it all up?

—
Honestly, after dealing with someone before who injects such a headache into my life, I simply will put up a bugscreen and will not take his calls at all. Life is too short to put up with a lip licking pain in the tail – ESPECIALLY when I have such a valuable commodity to sell.
Not much any of us can do about any manufactured wind-ups, but I suspect Aulas will simply make Levy squirm until the 1st.
Aulas ist gut. 😉
Totally agree, and the fact we are talking to the kid from West brom is worrying to me.
I won’t believe a word of it until we actually sign anyone
Wonder how much Lo Celso’ s price just went up by.
The US, UK, and Aussie flag all offend dumb cunts these days. They can all fuck off. I don’t even bother holding back about this shit anymore at work. Don’t care if I offend, they are all a cancer in our society, and to give an inch to their narrative will only result in Socialism with more government control. I would rather be hacked to death by terrorists than live like people do in the shitholes of the world. Fuck em
