Spurs should do the right thing and let Kane go though. He's taken them as far as he can so they need to just work with City on getting a (reasonable) deal done.

All of these things are true and would be fair enough if he hadn’t signed a 6 year contract that he has 3 years left on.

I don’t blame Spurs for saying ridiculous fee or you’re staying tbh:manny:

"What's so confusing?"
"Lift that title in a couple years."
"Small club."
"They were born 10 years ago."
"City are a small club, they'll ruin you."

Well Xhaka ain't leaving, my optimism and good vibes are gone.

I can't understand why our management just can't see, the problem that is Xhaka.

If you accept Roma's low ball offer then other clubs will see Arsenal are desperate to sell and will come with lower bids for the other players who you want to get rid of.

Xhaka still has value as a player because being a lefty he fits Artetas idea on building from the back and covers Tierney.

It's a business so Spurs are going to want the best price for him (as they should) but we've seen this before and usually, when players start doing stuff like missing training, it's a matter of when he leaves and not if. It's Kane's fault for believing Levy would honour that handshake agreement, ultimately though.

Yeah Roma was a little too flagrant, they were offering 12m + 3m for Xhaka while they bought Genoa's 26 year old back-up striker for 18m :mjlol:

To be fair Serie A to Serie A transfers are different because it's a loan with obligation to pay ... eventually.

Yeah especially when we know that the transfer on the books are spread over the length of the players contract.

And Serie A to Serie A transfers have some form of creativity accountancy behind it for a variety of reasons. :pachaha:

Xhaka he's too limited in his game. Whoever partners with him has to cover too much.

And his passing is just as limited.
