So not quite so brilliant in that context He's been offering Eriksen 250k p/w for years now, nobody got particularly pissed off anywhere. He's tried to sell him at market value for several windows now, but nobody that Eriksen would sign for has been in for him, which complicated Levy's job. Considering the situation that they found themselves in I think he's done a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs will find it hard to replace his intelligence and that of course is good for us. He's the unfinished product, I'd imagine his impact for Spurs will be a bit like Eriksen's initially, taking a while to grow into the team. He probably won't ever reach Eriksen's heights though yeah.

Must have been very difficult for Eriksson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not quite so brilliant in that context Agree. £16-20 mill for Eriksen a steal. But high wages....Bergwijn I doubt will start on same wages or reach that Level for awhile ....so books slightly balanced..! But Spurs,Not cashing in on a Top star,when it was obvious he Wanted away.....that is bottling it,big time.!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it goes back a while doesn't it and there have been rebuttals of it in the papers. I don't know whether it was the Sun that actually first reported on it but a Tottenham supporting friend (I use the term loosely, perhaps acquaintance would have been more acceptable) stated that it seemed to have started from within the club to the extent that some small sections of the crowd started booing Vertonghen. Who knows eh? Just hope no one finds out about you and Rebecca Vardy 😱 I'm sure it's safe on here though.

Not too dissimilar wages to Ericsson (which was the big problem) - €70k/week + bonus’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I'm with you in heart, it's exciting isn't it and you want us to capitalise and make some great signings and push on and do even better. But with the head you have to appreciate the sense of not splashing out in January when what we have already is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
