Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen, A likely signing for spurs

How have they only just discovered that the player's 15% cut of the transfer fee is a stumbling block? You'd think that would have come up pretty quickly.

Because Dictator Dan was hoping that if he ignored it then Ajax would pay it to the player and he could spend the money he saved on another set of plans for a new stadium in Southend because he's found a nice plot of land there for a reasonable price !!!!!

Also...what about the new manager ? has he been involved in this transfer ? Will he want him ? I guess so

That won't matter because Dictator Dan will only let the new manager buy who Dictator Dan wants, this means that if the player costs more than £3.50 we probably won't get them !!!!!

Ah but this 15% transfer fee that is the stumbling block is between Ajax and Vertongen.

A clause in Vertonghen’s Ajax contract says he is entitled to 15% of the fee when he leaves Amsterdam, a stipulation Ajax are now said to be unwilling to meet.

Nothing to do with Levy and Spurs as the transfer fee etc. has already been agreed
at around 10 million.
So we can only sit back and watch/hope that Ajax resolve this with their player.

By all accounts he will come. Probably announce all signings at once, inc AVB.

Left out of pre-season game today. Ajax Manager says it's virtually a done deal now.

[aspursfan]

I'll feel much more confident about the upcoming season if/when this is wrapped up.

[taimedowne]

Deal done subject to medical. It's even on the official site

[aspursfan]

At last and worth waiting for.


Hope the "doom and gloomers" cheer up a bit!!!!
