One of the players strongly linked with a move to Tottenham is Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson and it appears that he is just waiting for a phone call for the move to happen, according to the Sun.
It seems that the 28-year-old has been telling his teammates that he wants to remain in the Premier League in order to enhance his chances of playing for England in the Euro’s next summer (The Telegraph).
According to the report in the Sun, Wilson is worried that he will become the forgotten man if he remains with the Cherries and is keen to follow his teammate Nathan Ake and land a transfer back to the Premier League.
Reports have circulated that Wilson will be available for as little as £10 million (The Sun), which is a bargain in this day and age of crazy transfer fees.
The biggest problem for Wilson is that he may not get as much football as he would like if he signed primarily as a back-up striker and you have to think that is the only reason that Jose Mourinho would sign him.
That said, it is still encouraging for Spurs that Wilson is determined to leave the South Coast side. It means that Bournemouth’s negotiating position is further weakened when they are confronted with a player that is set on leaving.
Very clever of Tottenham that was. 0.5%. brilliant🌚
Don’t rate him tbh
Spurs didn’t borrow that money because they are in desperate need, they borrowed it because the interest was .5%, compared to 3-6% on their current loans.
If they use that loan to pay off some of their current debts they will effectively owe less money, due to the lower interest rate.
Tottenham don’t make me suffer. She only disappoints
He will get well paid for his suffering unlike us.
He’ll be greatful. He’s at Tottenham.🌚
Hopefully not just a wet night in Colchester in the Carabeo cup.
He’d get games, with Kane and without him
Sorry I didn’t mean wages,car etc.I meant we need to give him games.
We’ll be OK man. The covid vaccine will get sorted in a year or so I believe. We’ve got nuff nuff Years to pay that debt. Covid can’t stop Tottenham. I have faith in the academy to pay the debt.
I remember even Lioris not being a starter after just signing he was concerned about losing the no1 spot for France.Its something that when signing a player that has PL experience they settle quicker and don’t need a year to acclimatise. Hojbjerg would hopefully if signed hit the ground running.
You are completely wrong. Todays Covid 19 restrictions on other activities suggest that sporting event attendances might take longer than we all anticipated. As Enic’s supposed self financing strategy is dependent on income from the craft ale emporium, they might be disappointed with their revenue. Let’s not forget that they have already borrowed £175 mill from the Treasury. Debt is a serious problem for any company at the moment, and particularly for commercial property companies which is what Enic is.
DEBT NOT A PROBLEM.
It’s true we used to be able to afford players from smaller clubs. These transfers were always possible. Nowadays it’s much more difficult – the stars have to be aligned to have a chance of signing anyone at all.
The big difference is that there is so much money in the PL now that smaller clubs never have to sell to survive. They can afford to hold on and refuse to sell if the player is under contract. This drives the prices right up.
Look at West Ham and Newcastle – they spent £40m on strikers who turned out to be terrible! A decent one would have cost them double that!
I think the market has changed and it could be a bit broken now.
A shiny new stadium and a billion pound debt.
Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen, Christian Eriksen spring to mind. I won’t go as far back as Ossie Ardiles and Rcky Villa who were
an incredible gamble and set a trend for overseas players. Levy would never have had the balls to sign them.
Offer Roma £15m-£20m and include Lamela
Sorry mate, best I can do. Difficult times man🌚 can chuck pochs old Bentley in
Who was the last player we have bought from a different league that has been an instant success. I think of the ones we paid good money for and haven’t been that impressed,Soldado,Janssen,Sanchez,N’dombele,LoCelso.
I also think English players are generally overpaid compared to their overseas counterparts in the Premier League. There better than him out there who’ll want less than him. You can bet your house that Levy will be out for the lowest paid option out there.
Agreed, Patrik Schick ticks all the boxes for me.
We are the only club in the PL, and probably in most of the European leagues who operate with one recognised no 9 on the books. Filling in with wingers as false no 9s when Kane is injured is not the answer. We are reputedly the 8th richest club in the world. Even when we had other owners and were struggling, we managed to provide competition for places for strikers. You get what you pay for in life.
Plus he’s 28, mind you so was Llorente when we signed him but look at the club’s he played for. I’d look elsewhere myself.
Having said that, if he fits in and gives us an option to rest Kane then possibly. The Ropeydopey (wooden spoon) League means you play loads of games, against Kazakhstan’s finest etc. We’ll need a squad…
Good point,I have watched Olie Watkins this season for example.24 years old,English 26 goals but Brentford turned down an offer in Jan for near £30m.Brentford kept their striker in Jan and made the play off final,Hull took the money of WestHam for their player Jarod Bowen and got relegated.
We need to be fair to any striker we sign,how can we expect them to come on and do the business if they don’t get game time.If we need a goal we should play him alongside Kane,with two up front,and not waiting six months till Kane gets injured.If he is to be valued and integrated into the team he has to feel part of it.
Rather pay double with a lower salary and a much higher sell on potential value.
The good ones in the championship will cost double to buy and Wilsons injuries are all in the past,he has started 35 out of 38 games this season,I think he was sub in the other three.
Far too expensive a salary for an injury prone benchwarmer. There are better options out there for players who are younger with more potential.
Two year £100k a week contract with option for another year. Take it or leave it callum mate.
