If there is a "special consolation prize" in the winter window 2022, Then Tottenham Hotspur will definitely be the number one favourite to win the prize. In just over 10 days, Tottenham have been rejected by a number of favorite targets.
At one point they were very close to Wolves winger Traore, and the negotiations between the two sides have come to an end, and it can only be officially announced after the players have undergone a medical examination. But at this juncture, Barca intervened forcefully to take away the veteran La Masian. And in order to return to Barca, Traore accepted a request for a sharp salary cut, and only received a salary of 350,000 euros for the remaining half of the season, while Tottenham hotspur offered a contract of 120,000 yuan a week.
In addition, the transfer of Porto winger Luis Díaz is also in an orderly manner, and Tottenham's offer of 60 million euros is very sincere. But then Liverpool stepped in, the players changed their minds and Conte once again watched as the soon-to-be-cooked duck flew. It has been rejected twice in a row, but Tottenham's "bad luck" has not yet come to an end.
According to England's Daily Mail, 19-year-old winger Ollie Tanner, who plays for England's 7th division, also turned down Tottenham's invitation due to the lack of personal terms.
Rejections happened one after another, the winter window was closed for 2 days, Spurs had not yet gained anything, and the anger of the fans completely exploded. They left messages below the news to attack their home team. "We were rejected by a player who wasn't in the mainstream league and it was a mess." "This kind of thing is no longer a joke anymore. "I'm fed up with this bad club. There are also neutral fans who complain about Tottenham: "Only Tottenham can be rejected by players of this level, which is extremely embarrassing for Tottenham." ”
Spurs have made jokes in the transfer market more than once. This summer, Spurs also had a long, boring and laugh-filled soap opera in the process of selecting a manager. Just like the draft, at the beginning, Spurs tried to poach Nagorsman, Parker and Tenghag and other popular young managers with contracts, and after being rejected consecutively, they targeted Alegri, Sarri and other idle coaches, and were also rejected. Subsequently, Fonseca, Conte, Gattuso and other 3 managers who had just been dismissed from Serie A also contacted Tottenham Hotspur, and after fruitless, they targeted former Barca manager Valverde, and finally finalized Nuno before the summer window opened.
This decision was again met with wild spit from Tottenham fans. Indeed, the previous series of famous coaches raised the appetite of fans, and finally came a former manager of a mid-tier Premier League team without any experience of giants and no convincing honors, how can such a huge gap not disappoint the fans. Sure enough, before the half of the new season was finished, Spurs fired Nuno, and the new manager was Conte, who collapsed last summer.
After joining Tottenham, Conte had a whole new experience. The fallout with his previous old club was basically a disagreement over reinforcements, and the club was unwilling to meet his requirements and left in anger. Now Tottenham Hotspur's top management is not exclusive of their own reinforcement requests, and they have also sent teams to negotiate and offer, but in the end they have returned again and again.
From this point of view, Levi is really tall, a bit of a yang and yin meaning. Levy ostensibly agreed to Conte's request for reinforcements, but in fact he procrastinated, searching for quotations, treatment and other contract details, which can be seen from the previous coach selection process.
Talking to Sarri, Fonseca and Allegri, Conte and others is also inseparable from the problem of money. Tottenham's budget for the new coach is only 2-3 million euros after tax. Tottenham have also imposed strict restrictions on the size of the manager's team, and the negotiations between Tottenham and Conte have broken down, mainly due to personnel arrangements. Spurs only allowed Conte to bring 4 coaching staff members into the camp, and such a slashing of the door directly allowed Kong Erleng to close the door to negotiations.
Now that Conte has come, he has encountered a disguised slash from tottenham's top Brass in the transfer market, and his anger can be imagined. But Tottenham will certainly not end the winter window tour empty-handed, otherwise Conte will definitely blow up. Judging from the current news, Bentancourt and Kulusevsky, two Juve players, are expected to rush to Conte in the winter window, one is 19 million + 6 million floating, and the other is a loan + buyout, such a price is within Levi's acceptance range.
