Mike Verweij is a journalist The Boy Hotspur has used as a credible source before, on many occasions. He’s a man with trustworthy sources, opposed to some child being fed on a limited diet by a press officer.
This De Telegraaf journalist tells us that the first bid for Steven Bergwijn has been placed by Ajax, and that Tottenham Hotspur is seeking an improved bid.
Working upon the basis that this is correct information, it would surely be unforgivable if the player was still in North London, come February, no?
Bergwjin was another ENIC Brand purchase, as confirmed by José Mourinho when he made public that the Dutch boy wasn’t his pick.
I take a view that surely Levy has to have learned something over the last 20-years about how football clubs work. You install a strong manager and you back him. Brian Howard Clough, Bill Nicholson, Bill Shankly, Sir Alex Ferguson… don’t worry about ‘time’, successful principles rarely change.
