One step forward, two steps back, then shoot yourself in the foot.
Not quite as snappy as Audere Et Facere, but much more accurate.
Spanish outlet AS believe that Christian Eriksen’s party have agreed personal terms with Real Madrid.
There are two immediate thoughts here. One is that this is hogwash from a Real friendly paper. The second is that it is true and that leak is designed to provide leverage and ensure that a deal actually gets done.
Anyone believing this tale to be cobblers clearly hasn’t been watching Eriksen this season. The 27 year old has been horribly inconsistent.
AS understand that the Dane’s value has dwindled over time a possible transfer value could be in the region of £130million.
Given that it would take a Tottenham spend of £200million just to stand still right now, this is hardly time to start shouting ‘War Chest!’
Pochettino has so much substandard junk on his books that last night he had to suffer the ignominy of bringing on two second string defenders when we were a goal down in a semi final.

Tragic beasts and where to find them..
Footballers are tragic beasts.
They think ‘I wanna lollypop’ repeated endlessly – gets them a lollypop.
No doubt that most of us would snap RM’s arm off for £130 million for him so let’s hope it happens. AS will be heading up the campaign to get him to RM but it doesn’t seem like anybody from Spain has watched him play. It’s puzzling but let’s hope it continues!
You think? Shurley he would have known that wouldn’t be allowed to happen. Anyway, blows hot and cold at the best of times but in terms of his on field commitment etc there was a definite cliff edge from early Jan onwards.
He was clearly hoping he’d be allowed to leave in the winter window…
He mentally checked out of THFC in January once they made it clear to his agent he was at the top of their list – just another top class spin off from our ‘special relationship’ with RM, they nobble our ‘best player’ half way through the season.
