Good afternoon.
Based upon the live TV footage courtesy of Sky Sports News just now of Hugo Loris arriving at The Lodge, it is ambitious to contest that the L’Olympique Lyonnais goal keeper will sign for Spurs today.
Last night of course, things looked like they’d gone done down the tubes. This was published on the L’Olympique Lyonnais official site last night.
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.
Hilarious quotes from Jean-Michel Aulas, Lyon’s chairman.
“We have had people speaking all night with Daniel Levy. He talks a lot and goes back on what we’ve agreed in writing. The things as they were at 5am were not the same at 10am.”
In short that statement said that the proposal submitted last night by Spurs was significantly different to a proposal that was agreed in principle some four days ago.
Bless.
He must be new.
BIOYC!
Any of you on here that were slamming Levy yesterday regarding the Lyon Comment……..much to say now?
Love Hugo’s snazzie scarf, very fashionable fella. Lets hope he isn’t a typical scarf wearing nambie pambie and will instead command his box like Chuck Norris would.
I find it difficult to imagine that we would not have already sounded Moutinho’s agent out, re wages and so on. So what is all this bumfoolery in aid of?
“in 25 years as a chairman of Lyon 16 years in Europe we have never been beaten down and smashed until we met the man from Chigwell, Educated at Cambridge and wearing a Mr byrte whistle and flute”
Just goes to show that even an experienced manager like O’Neill doesn’t fully understand the PL rules. lol, funny though. I have a strange, strange feeling that Willian will happen, can’t see any more strikers coming in, judging AVB’s preferred formation. Very, very sad to see Rafa going, a Spurs legend despite it only being 2 years. Who is going to cover at Left Back with Rose gone…?
Naughton and Vertonghen can cover LB
And Gareth Bale
Got it. Do you think we’ll have a surprise signing today?
What’s wrong with BAE?
Nothing. Just that if he is injured or suspended …?
