Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
We don't so let them get on with it!
Whatever is written by the press is bullshit!
Obviously not enough to get him signed so it’s anyones guess
Give us the link and we could possibly tell you, but I don't believe that the BBC are claiming that Lo Celso will join United.
This is the most reliable source I've seen
Spurs bid £53m for Real Betis' Lo Celso
Tottenham have made a bid of about 60m euros (£53m) for Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.

That's not the same as him being on the Spurs' Twitter feed though
Inews lol
Spurs and Man Utd in bidding war for £67m Lo Celso
The Argentine midfielder is a wanted man and the Spanish club may be willing to sell if they can attract a bid of £67m, writes Colin Millar.

They've just signed Llorente for 40m from Real as well so doubt they have any interest in Lo Celso.
I know it'll be a lot fucking less than whatever it is any club might want for their player(s).
(Usually until deadline day/night)
Not by much. I think Lyon are hoping PSG show some interest. It's like if we're put in a position to have to sell a player, we want to wait and see if City get in on the bidding to push up the price. We did that with Berbatov I remember. City basically shill bid the price up so United paid over the odds. Lyon want PSG to do the same.
It seems like one that will rumble on unfortunately and possibly go until the last few days of the window.
You don't know mate, you're guessing. That's the whole point. It's all very well punching people, but without the knowledge to back up the attack, it just comes across as being another stick to bash Levy / The club with.
Yup. This is straight out of Aulas (and Levy's and most chairmen's) playbook.
No you don't so get proof or shut the fuck up.
If we bid what the club wants, we sign the player.
We haven't signed anyone.
You honestly think DL starts any negotiation at the asking price? LOL.

If you start a negotiation at the asking price, there is no negotiation.
It's silly to think that any selling club, especially one selling a player that literally every top team has been interested in, will just sell to us as soon as we make a decent offer. They will want every transfer to become a saga that pushes up the fee.
This is going to be a crazy summer for transfers and everybody will be trying to extract maximum money for their assets, ourselves included. Everyone can see that most of the elite teams are rebuilding, Madrid, Bayern, Juventus, United, etc and they all want the same players. It will not be easy for us to do early deals for the top talents we are looking at, we just have to wait and see what happens, we don't have as much money as our rivals. We have no right to expect to sign highly coveted players like Ndombele just because we finished 4th and lost another final, but we have to do everything we can to get them. If that's not enough then so be it, we move on to the next name on the list.

I want Charlie Austin and Mark Noble please..
Carroll please!
Nah you got it all wrong. Levy is well known for his generous spending & bidding. Last summer the other chairmen felt bad for fleecing him so they refused to sell to him.
