I just cant see him getting in the tottenham team and if he does he wont be there long. If I was a Tottenham fan I would be a bit gutted with the signing to be honest.
No you cant. I am not going to tell Jeff Shi what to say unless he pays me a lot of money.I didn't read it as "bigging up" Spurs but, as I say, people will read things in different ways. Also, I don't imagine for a moment that we don't big the club up when we're signing players... "the project" and all that. Can I ask what you would have preferred Jeff to say under the circumstances because it sounded fairly reasonable to me and the sort of thing that all clubs say when players leave?
A player 6 years Doc’s junior who is already significantly better than him and England’s first choice left back?
This ongoing comparison between the two fees is lunacy. Doc couldn’t even get in an Ireland team, largely made up of lower tier premier league & championship players.
Doc served us a terrific purpose and I’ll be always grateful for his service but sorry, if he was as good as everyone on here is making him out to be - Ireland find a way to accomodate him and he has more than the 4-5 Starts....
I have said before if I was a Spurs fan I would be a bit sceptical about bringing in a senior player for as little as 12 mill who didn't need to be sold by his present club.I just cant see him getting in the tottenham team and if he does he wont be there long.

I think though you have answered your own question to me.
Boris Johnson is Prime Minister not because he is the best man for the job but his positivity outshone the negativity and caution of his opponents even in his own party. Things dont happen you make them happen.
As soon as whichever Canal it has been thrown in.When will the statue be unveiled?
I can understand Doc leaving but am puzzled by how little we sold him for and him going before we have a replacement.
If that proves to be the case, great. It’s very difficult to not be a bit concerned right now though.Mendes moves one of his players from a team where the manager is represented by him, to another club where the manager is represented by him. Then brings in a replacement, who he represents.
I think Mendes had promised Fosun an upgrade and all this was sorted a while ago. I am happy that it is Doc and not one of our crown jewels and think everyone will be happy, when it all fits together and it all makes sense.
Why Mendes,s loyalties lean more towards Fosun than Spurs?Mendes moves one of his players from a team where the manager is represented by him, to another club where the manager is represented by him. Then brings in a replacement, who he represents.

As did Cutrone shall we bring him back?Adama played RWB against City when we won.
No, Mendes's loyalties lean towards Mendes.
Against burnley didn't we start with traore at Rwb? Doc came on and we saw out the win oh wait hang on that didn't happen.As did Cutrone shall we bring him back?
Didn't Doc come on, though?
Adama Didn't score his goals from RWB
And me.....I have to say, that made me chuckle.
So Wolves didn't plan to sell but, to Jeff, this was a godfather offer. Good grief. What does he think Adama or Raul is worth? I’d say each is worth around 3x Doc. Hopefully Jeff thinks 5x, because if someone came in with £45m for either and we heard, we didn’t anticipate selling but it’s in the club’s best interest...
How do you know he wanted to move?That’s not the point at all. Matt wanted the move, Spurs knew he did (likely via Mendes or Keane) and knew they didn’t need to bid up the price. That left us in a weak bargaining position. Keep him and likely don’t play him before he’s in a sulk, or take the money and move on. As I said earlier, the problem here is Matt and hence why I won’t be wishing him well despite all the amazing performances and effort he’s given us.
How do you know he wanted to move?
That's great, amusing way to introduce yourself to the fans
So you don't.The fee , his long contract with us, and reading between the lines of the club statement.
“His departure was not something we had planned ahead of the summer, but when the offer came in, we discussed and analysed it deeply with the coaching team and the board. We also spoke to Matt who was eager to move onto a new chapter in his career."So you don't.
So you don't.
