WILL.I.NOT: News in that Spurs bound Willian is now considering his options as Liverpool have apparently made an improved offer #LFC #THFC

 

just Ladbrokes trying to get a few last minute bets on us I imagine before Tottenham confirm?

 

To be honest now I've heard that dodgy cunt Jorabachin or whatever he is called is involved with him I'm not keen at all

[Pureblood]

Fucking twatter.

[Dr. J]

Yesterday people were going on about how shrewd Levy was in making sure he got his last buys in before the Bale deal was done. Shrewder would be for Willian or Lamela to wait a few days, too.

This appears to be gathering some serious momentum now.

 

From the Guardian:

 

Jodi Mullen @jodimullen

 

@GreggBakowski what's this talk of Willian supposedly now considering another club, despite passing a medical at Spurs, Gregg?

Well, Jodi Mullen. It's one of two things: either there is a real offer, perhaps from a Champions League club (probably not Arsenal), or it's an attempt to lever a few extra pounds out of Spurs with the knowledge that they are imminently about to land the Gareth Bale jackpot. I'm a cynic, so I suspect the latter.

Skys sports running with it too:

 

Willian considering his options after passing Tottenham medical | Football News | Sky Sports

 

Brazil international Willian has passed his medical at Tottenham and talks are continuing over a five-year deal, according to Sky sources.

 

The fee involved for the Anzhi Makachkala midfielder is believed to be a Tottenham club record of £30m, however sources close to the player say he is still considering his options.

 

Willian, who was also strongly linked with Liverpool, would become Spurs' third record signing this summer after deals of £17m and £26m for Paulinho and Roberto Soldado.

 

Tottenham could recoup all of their outlay so far if they accepted Real Madrid's world record offer for Wales forward Gareth Bale, though the club refused to comment on reports in the Italian and Spanish media that technical director Franco Baldini was in Madrid for discussions over the transfer on Wednesday night.

 

Spurs could yet add Roma striker Erik Lamela to their ranks in a transfer that would take their spending during this window to almost £120m.

I would love it like Keegan if we got him. Not because I want him, but because it'd be fucking hilarious to get one over on Spurs. Obviously, he'll just sign for Spurs.

[WhiskeyJar]

Oh and Sinclair:

 

Check out the full story on Scott Sinclair’s future, as the Manchester City winger reportedly closes in on a season-long loan move to West Bromwich Albion with a view to a permanent deal. Baggies defender Liam Ridgewell played alongside Sinclair when they were both at Birmingham and says ‘it would be great to have him down here’.

Question, has any player in the past consider their options after a passing a medical?

[Mathewbet1]

Will-he or won't he?. This is just teasing us now, evil fucker.

According to Twitter, a shit load. Last week QPR then signed for Norwich the next day. Celtic medical, Rangers the next day. *shrug*

Any whispers or should I call the Transfer Budgie?

[WhiskeyJar]

Apparently the agent expressed concerns that there was no interest from a Champions League side.

 

Bit late in the game to do that.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Fuck him, I don't want him.

[Dr. J]

Fuck him, I don't want him.

 

I agree. I'd like to see the club string him along with offers until Spurs pull out and then tell him to fuck off.

[Xherdan]

Clearly he wanted his thighs to be rubbed by Zaf Iqbal. I can fully understand this as Zaf is a fucking ride.

I'm heading south down the M6 and he's coming the other way in a convertible top down, just the most beautiful Afro you've ever seen getting buffeted about by the oncoming breeze. Get the shirts printed.

Keep your eyes on the road, son... and your wind-ups to yourself.

[Megadrive Man]

Could be off to Chelsea...

[bizzle10]

looks like chelsea will do a spurs lol

[James Dean]

Haha.

[fowler9]

hmm initial reaction was to laugh at Spurs but this probably makes Lamela more likely for them which wouldn't be good

[Koptimus Prime]

If thats the case, we should wack a bid in for mata. Get Ayre on the case.

Good point.

 

It also means Chelsea will disappear further in to the horizon.
