Gerard Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 11 minutes ago, Tielemans63 said: That's a crap deal. £50m should be the minimum we'd accept. £40m is rank bad business It's a bargain for Tottenham but I think it's a reasonable deal for us, we weren't fighting bidders off and we've got our business done quick. We couldn't afford to drag this out all summer as it might not have happened cand we might not be able to spend until it did. We also don't know how obtainable the add ons are but we did have a very weak hand as we couldn't afford not to sell and have a staring contest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StonyFox Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 40m is cheap, but might get bumped up by the add-ons. Although if they are dependent on spurs winning something, we'll never see a penny! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Regarding add ons If any of us were buying madders, we would have a fair chunk of ad ons based on his availability over the next three seasons. (Based on injuries in his hip area - how you get that into a legal document is above my pay grade but I’d want something in there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Absolutely brilliant player but I think it's telling that I'm not fussed about him leaving. Maybe it's because it was always going to happen. I think the stick he got from our fans on here was unwarranted at times, mainly because it was for non footballing reasons. My only gripe about his time here was last season. I'm probably wrong but it seemed to me that he was on top form at the start of the season because he was trying to play his way into the England team. After the WC, the drop in his performances were staggering and I find it hard to shake the idea that it's because he achieved what he wanted, knew he was off and couldn't motivate himself to play for the team that provided the platform for him to showcase his talents. Good luck at that team you "don't like" James. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 40 mil might seems low. But I read somewhere the Winks deal is separate to keep Norwich's fee lower and we might get Winks cheaper. In which case it's creative accounting - and sort of higher than 40 mil. Could be rubbish though. I guess if we sign Winks only then will we know. But glad this hasn't dragged on into the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 I probably wanted us to get a bit closer to £50m upfront, but hopefully we have some decent realistic add ons based around England appearances etc. rather than trophies Overall I think I am happy with £40m + add ons and the deal being done pretty early so it isn't just hanging around us all summer and potentially dragging into when the season has started and possibly holding us up getting other deals done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was proved wrong, but you'd think he threatened all our fans on twitter or celebrated well loved people's deaths or something. People also moaned when our players said nothing in the press and people moaned when Rodgers did the opposite after Forest and basically said we were crap and not good enough. It was a lose-lose-lose situation whatever any of our players did in that case. Seriously, some of you need to grow up. Do you genuinely treat other human beings you know in real life like this any time they say something that ended up being false or wrong? Especially as if You might be overegging it a bit there. Personally, I have no big problem with him, and I believe all our players deserve respect. It's not just that he said something silly on social media and has been proved wrong that has irked so many. It's also the arrogance of saying what he did, after a game where we got no shots on target. It showed he didn't recognise we were in trouble, which frustrated so many. I think he's just become a bit of a lightning rod as a result of representing exactly how the club/squad were treating the threat of relegation. For those showing actual hatred or dislike for him, I don't think they've liked him from the moment he arrived 😅. But to each their own. He's worth far more than £60m, but relegation has ****ed our chances of getting what he's worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jakemoore Posted 27 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 27 June 2023 I’m gutted to see Madders leave. I’ve absolutely loved the guy since he signed. I’ve always felt like he gave us 100%. Even in the relegation battle when he wasn’t at his best I felt like he was trying too hard rather than just giving up. His interviews have always been class too. I HATE Spurs with a passion and he’ll win **** all playing for that pathetic bunch of bottlers. But I wish him every bit of luck along the way. Having said all of that, £40m seems a bit low imo. Even with add-ons. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Was it £22m we paid for Maddison? Norwich get 15% of the profit from the sale so that would be £2.7m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The whole world smiles Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 I very much enjoyed watching him in his 5 years here, a wonderful, technically brilliant footballer who like mahrez before him could regularly make something happen out of nothing, and turn a boring draw into 3 points. But didn't want to extend his deal back when we were a European premier league side so he has to go wish we had been more ruthless with Tilemans, ndidi, Soyuncu etc and got a deal while the going was good.

Ian Nacho Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Club probably knew it could’ve held out and got an extra £5m-£10m but didn’t want to risk having a Fofana situation again. Glad it’s sorted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he doesn't want to go to Newcastle because deep down he isn't at their level and he knows it....they play play fast direct football and are going after players who are better then him. He would have been found out quickly....... Sadly Spurs is his level now and he now's it! Edited 27 June 2023 by CrispinLA in Texas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as if I don’t think the fan base, and I include myself in this, have every really taken to him, like they did the players of 15/16. He’s potentially one of our best every players, however he’ll always be remembered by most for screwing up that penalty, shitty clothing adverts and that transparent backpack, that looks like one of those pop up greenhouses kids have. Technically great player that epitomises Rodgers time here with poor mentality. I don’t think he’s got the quick football brain to push himself to the levels of a KDB. That’s not a dig in a weird way, as not many will ever be that level. He’ll do well for Tottenham, however will be be more Sigurðsson (who was a standout for Swansea then flopped), or Eriksen who was routinely good but incredibly frustrating. Tottenham without Kane though, aren’t a top 4 side. They’ll have even less chance if winning trophies. I wish him well and I might be wrong, however for £200k a week, the market has much better value. I think Newcastle may have dodged a bullet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume the players value is included in the overall fee, or surely we'd have demanded Winks be included if we really want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Expected £50m. Hoped for a little more. But we are such a mess I'm just glad we got a fee. But Spurs... Underrated player. Fans did their weird thing of turning on him to hide the pain of him inevitably leaving. We'd have been relegated by March without him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 27 June 2023 Share Posted 27 June 2023 Guessing some of the add ons will be trophy-based. In which case it's £40m and that's it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
