Spurs have refused to accept excuses for 16th position despite the UEL triumph and their chairman has taken necessary actions.

Spurs need more fans...

Jamiuokolaa:
Regardless of investment, 16th would always be unacceptable..especially when Conte finished 4th in that same club with the players he met on ground mid season.

Those are the standards expected..not the ones fuelled by sentiments and emotions.

Spurs and standards? What exactly have they achieved in the past 10 years?

Jamiuokolaa:
No time baba

Even if he won the WC with Spurs lol, that 16th position finish would always be unacceptable at serious clubs with Ambition.

He finished 16th in his second season after all the investment, right?

Some of you have written so many trashy things about Amorim that you are now praying the club has a disastrous transfer window so that we can go into the new season with the same set of players and record the same results, so that you can be proven right...Let the man have his players, then we will be able to fairly judge him...

nitrogen:
Haha, Wolves and Brentford players should be our targets now? Issokay. I no get energy to argue today.

See where you get it all wrong, so typical of the majority of the fanbase. Where have all the top players we have been signing from top teams taken us to? City are going after Reijnders, Cherki, Air Nouri and Livaramento but I don't see anyone complaining...If we were the ones signing those players and City signing Cunha and Mbeumo, I am sure you'd still criticise the team for signing players from Lyon, Milan and Wolves...

nitrogen:
Lol. Did I complain about the Cunha deal? You don’t know what you are saying.

Is Cunha better than Mbeumo? I don't think so, I think Mbeumo is slightly better, but most importantly, they were key men in their respective clubs, meaning that they could do even better with a better supporting cast.

You seem to dismiss the signing as one that won't work out here for no just reason. If the signing of Mbeumo means we will not sign a CF then, I will understand why you have reservations and even I will do but it's not the case here at least from what the press is saying.

larride:
Na the board representative for here you dey follow talk oo.

Left to nitrogen, if na only 20m the club spend, he's happy.

I really don't understand him. As a fan, he should be happy the club is going after players who have shown they can do it in a team that's not all that. You Wolves and Brentford play and you easily notice that they don't have the best players to compete for top honors but then again, anytime you watch them, you notice Cunha and Mbeumo almost always show up no matter the opposition...That's why I am impressed...

nitrogen:
This is potentially a shitty deal.

The quest to be the one that called it right is driving some of you nuts...On what basis is the potential signing of one of the best players in the league just this past season shitty?

We should be buying and selling. The problem with buying before selling is that teams will approach us to buy players who are surplus to requirements for less than their value because they know we are desperate to get rid of the players...

Rashford, Antony, Sancho, Casemiro, Maguire, Hojlund, Garnacho...It's just too quiet...

iamharkinwaley:
For real and we will compete… I don’t know why the club isn’t ruthless enough or doesn’t care. Some players don’t deserve to be here anymore but they still steal a living staying here a long time without doing anything e.g Shaw, took time before we got rid of Phil jones etc. Casemiro self is on 350k omoh

Casemiro can fetch us good 30m if we sound out to the Saudis. His wages is just too high.

Shaw should have his contract terminated or take a pay cut to stay.

CapitalCee:
If we complete the signing of Mbeumo as its looking, and signs Gyokeres. We needed a GK more urgently, then a quality CB. With Mazraoui, Heaven, Yoro, Maguire, Deligt and Martinez returning in September. I think we are a bit more covered there.
The number of points that Hojlund and Onana lost for us this season is atrocious.

Lindelöf and Evans are gone. I don't trust Shaw and Martinez to be fit for a full season so we need a fit CB who can play left of the back 3 or Central...I am also thinking of the fitness/availability of De Ligt, I don't want us to depend on Maguire, Yoro and Mazrouni as the ever-present for a season. However, if Amorim thinks Martinez and Shaw are options to trust, we can start the search for a goalie to replace Onana.

iamharkinwaley:
You want to know why we finished 15th?

— We conceded only 7 more goals than Newcastle, yet they scored 24 more than us.

— We conceded only 3 more goals than Aston Villa, yet they scored 14 more than us.

Newcastle finished 5th. Villa came 6th. And United? 15th.

The reason is simple: our forwards couldn’t score.

A lack of quality up front, combined with INEOS’ baffling decision to offload two attackers in January without replacements, left Amorim looking like a clown.

With Cunha, Mbeumo, and possibly Gyökeres coming in, don’t be surprised when we’re fighting for top 4 next season.

Copied on Twitter… I implore everyone to read this.

If we sign Mbeumo and Gyokeres, we just need two CMs, one CB and a goalie if Onana leaves...Lindelöf, Eriksen, Casemiro, and Shaw should be released or sold.

Jamiuokolaa:
The "option" is obviously to reassess the situation and check wether a new contract would be in the club's best interest.

The definitive contract he signed expires by this time next year.

The club might also decide to keep for another season instead of losing him a season earlier...His goals will most likely see them stay up and earn big from the league's TV rights revenue...

The point in all these is that the club will most likely use the option to extend his deal as a bargaining chip, which is why they're likely holding out for a bit more money.

Jamiuokolaa:
And it is also clearly stated that his current contract expires next year - Mrvict.or was quite clear about that, same with the evidence at our disposal....



Like I said earlier, the bolded was the basis of the original convo and it has been found to be factually correct

Reasons and probabilities for extension are moot here...

Can Mbuemo leave for Free as we speak? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Can he leave for free by this time next year?

ABSOLUTELY YES, IF BRENTFORD DECIDE NOT TO ACTIVATE THE OPTION OF EXTENSION AND/OR THE PLAYER ISNT HAPPY WITH THE NEW TERMS!

Like I said, I am not interested in the probability of the futuristic extension, as it is irrelevant here.

Brentford will let their best player leave for free when they have the option to extend even without his permission...A good joke...

Jamiuokolaa:
His current contract expires next summer and that was the premise of the initial discussion below...



If you want to discuss the probability of futuristic/optional contract extensions, that is a different topic entirely.

It is you who has decided to be disingenuous with the truth concerning the expiry date of Mbuemo's current contract which is crystal clear!

The club hold the aces, we are negotiating with the club. If Mrviktor was wrong in his consideration, does it mean we all must follow the same path even when it is clearly stated there that the club has an option to extend his deal for a year?

Mbeumo has one year left on his contract, and the club has the exclusive right to extend it for another year. This effectively means they have him for the next two seasons. Also, the club is aware that he is a forward who can ensure a strong goal return, which significantly increases their chances of remaining a Premier League team over the next two seasons. This stability translates into greater earnings, so any potential suitor will be informed that the club can exercise its option to renew the contract for another year as a strong bargaining tool.

Jamiuokolaa:
For the club to have made it an "option" clearly shows the uncertainty around the extension. They are obviously looking to reassess the player's form, club's financial status etc - a direct contradiction to the definitive statement you are trying to credit them with.

For the avoidance of doubt, What Brentford intend to do or not do in future is not relevant here - the current situation of the contract was the genesis of the conversation as highlighted below;



I am not interested in the reasons why players or clubs would decide to extend or not because that was not in the convo till it managed to sneak in. Like i said earlier, the actual expiration of the current contract is what is being discussed here.

How do you discuss that without looking at the option the club has to renew for a season? That's technically two years...

To base all your argument on the position that he has one year left, even when you can clearly see the club has an option to renew for a year, is you being disingenuous with the truth...

CapitalCee:
They said he has attitude problem. Ok oo. Person wey Liverpool and City de drag to sign. We wey dey 16th de look for St Peter to sign. We never wan comot from Tranches

Fans of this club will criticise the players every match day but once you talk about selling the player, he becomes irreplaceable...

I saw a couple of guys try to downplay Cherki when someone suggested we sign him...I think it was you or Spillo that mentioned Cherki...

I am quite certain the men his daughters got married to are no pushovers...I won't be surprised if they're from very wealthy homes.

A week ago, I'd have argued but not anymore...Food is cheap in Benue, Makurdi to be precise...I stopped by last week and was shocked at the price of food...

CrystalTiger:
Our fans were actually open to Bruno leaving 🤣🤣🤣

If an offer that is too good to be true comes in...You dey omit that part, why?

airmark:
Jackson's link gathering momentum, he doesn't collect huge salary. Fits perfectly to what and the club like.

Be kiaful...No mention Jackson for here again...

larride:
Sancho coming back because they couldn't agree on personal terms to make the deal permanent.

Oloriburuku player.

They should not loan him out; if he's not going to move on permanently, make him rot for u21.

Nonsense.

The ridiculous wages we offer players are our biggest undoing. That's why you hardly see me saying Hojlund should be sold because no club can match the wages he is currently on...

Rashford, Antony, Casemiro, Maguire, Shaw and Co are all on the same boat. We either sell at a cut price or loan them out at no cost. That way, the club they're joining can cover their wages...We should just do promo sales or carry them to Saudi Arabia and begin to hawk them around...

JuanDeDios:
Been a few years. You mean the cult clashes are gone now?

So, why did you allude to it when you have not been to Calabar in a few years? This is how some of you demarket a place...

There's been no cult clashes in Calabar for a while now. Prince Otu has tried especially in and around Calabar.

Abeg he should leave....

If we sign Mbeumo and Gyokeres then we have added real firepower in our attack...Cunha + Gyokeres + Mbeumo is 60 - 70 goals...That's our attack going from 0 to 100...

Sell Garnacho to fund the purchase of Mbeumo, sell or loan Hojlund for 2 seasons, sell Casemiro to a Saudi club for 25m, release Eriksen, sell Maguire, release Shaw, sell Onana, if we get a good offer for Bruno, sell him, you can use his fee to fund the purchase of Gyokeres and still have some balance.

JuanDeDios:
Not with Calabar's cult issues.

Cult issues in Calabar? Are you for real? When last did you visit Calabar?

eedimo:
That Bassey Otu na cruise
Cross River state is really unfortunate

This is not true...Prince Otu is doing very well.

LollyP94:
It used to be very disappointing and sad whenever someone you picked up and helped backstabbed you. Very painful experience💯

You understand it very well...Nothing is quite as painful as someone you supported backstabbing you.

This man is really pained...If you haven't walked his shoes, don't judge...

shfizle:
Who writes these "official" statements for these companies though? There's so much unnecessary, grandiose and superfluous writing you can't even get the points the statement is trying to prove.

I was tired of reading by the second paragraph walahi

It was so unnecessary...

ManOfSon:
The only that jumped at me from this verbose response is that the lease agreement with BUA was entered in 2006 but it took until 2016 - that's 10 years later - for "discussions" on remedial work etc to start. What?

Thank you...I saw that and had to read it again...10 years? Like seriously?

eph12:
5 games ke? Towards the end of preseason I don dey ask questions. After two games, your time is up

I think say you talk for you na how we play matters most?
