Good evening. 

This from the Official Site. The Olympique Lyonnais Official Site, that is. This was published at a minute after 2000hrs this evening.

L’Olympique Lyonnais informe ne pas avoir trouvé d’accord avec Tottenham pour le transfert d’Hugo Lloris.

Les propositions transmises ce soir par Tottenham se sont éloignées très sensiblement du principe qui avait été acté le 26 août et qui avait permis d’ouvrir les discussions entre le joueur et le club londonien.

In short the statement says that the proposal submitted tonight by Spurs is significantly different to a proposal that was agreed in principle four days ago. 

To my mind this smacks of everybody, not just Tottenham playing chicken on these transfer deals. The first guy to blink loses.

The Dembele deal is a good example. Not a single ITK had a sniff of it. Because the price was quoted and Spurs told that was the price. Not an opening a price, but that only two bids would be entertained.  A bid at the figure on the swing ticket …or a bid in excess of that figure.

    We are also in dispute with Marseille, who say they rejected a bid from us for Remy.
    We are saying no bid was ever made.

    If you think this is bad, have a look at the Berbatov to Fiorentina/ Juve/ Fulham story.

    Not the first time he has been hi-jacked en route to talks with a prospective buyer.

    mickspur are you serious we brought in Jan, Ade and gylfi……we could land Llorent and Moutihno sold Modric for a good price…..OL are trying to get as much as the possibly can. They need the money and Lloris wages of the bill a deal will be struck…..Lets not forget that Levy has brought in the likes of Luka, VDV, Berbs, Friedel, Bale in Levy we trust!

    daniel waste of space levy as usual, thanks, we can never compete this season, goodbye champions league once again

  • Jon says:

    The fee was agreed, the guy from Lyon confirmed that about a week ago, so why would we change our stance when we know we have the deal in place and that Lloris according to his dad was waiting to join us upon completion of the Modric deal. Seems Lyon are the ones playing the game but will probably lay it on us. W*****s
