In Charlie's words Spurs have signed Gareth up to a contract of £105k p/w, Sigurdsson was given a wage of the previous highest earners and Adebayor is to be given almost the same wages he was on at City (it was dues to be £115k p/w)! So with all this in mind where is that money coming from!
There are now talks coming out that Tottenham are receiving heavy investment and it has come from America, so although Levy was out there for personal reasons, it now seems that it was extended so he could secure this investment in the club.
Now whether I believe that Levy would offer Ade over £100k I don't know but I am surprised as to the whispers coming out at the moment.
So it now takes me onto Brad Friedel's interview who states that he would be surprised if VDV or Modric left as the club has massive ambition. He also goes on to state that the same rumours were out last year and Levy decided to keep them. However when pressed he said that Levy would not sell without a ready made replacement. Well that means if the likes of Ganso and Oscar come in then someone else will still come in as they will not be ready made (so no panic if either of them do in fact end up coming).
So it seems as if with these rumours building we may not have even seen the tip of the iceberg yet.
More to follow on the transfers themselves.
Come on you Spurs!
