Juan Foyth
Juan Foyth
A story has emerged in South America, that a loan deal with an option to buy has been finalised by Tottenham, Leeds United and Italian side Hellas Verona.
This might be old news, it might be new news, I don't know but personally, I have been expecting him to join Leeds for a couple of months now, it's no secret.
I see the £15m figure I quoted is now being used as the fee Spurs are looking for.
While my feeling is this is true it isn't one I know about thus can't give you a definitive answer,only my best guess.
Three years ago Marcelo Bielsa tried to sign Foyth when he was Head Coach at French club Lille. Naturally he has followed his progress ever since.
Rennes are also after him, being prepared to offer £9m initially I believe.
“For what has happened in recent times, we don’t think [he has a future at Tottenham].
"But we still have a pending talk with Tottenham to clarify the future.
“We don’t judge the coach’s decisions and we don’t get involved in his job, but what’s clear is that the club’s project with Juan has changed.
"We have a pending chat with Tottenham and for sure the topic will come up."
A club and a player discuss how a club is going to develop a player, they don't just buy someone and see how it goes.
If the development "project" for that individual player isn't to the player and agents liking the player doesn't sign.
All cries of not throwing money to buy is just ill-informed nonsense.
The project Spurs has for Foyth isn't going according to plan, he hasn't improved in the way we had hoped and you have to look for reasons.
Is the reason he hasn't developed and perhaps Skipp and Parrott haven't developed at, perhaps the speed we expected, because they haven't been sent out on loan, because Pochettino wanted to keep them under his wing?
Was that a problem with his management?
I'm not saying it was, merely putting the question into the public domain.
Foyth and his agent have to think of his career and thus they have had to consider an alternative development path.
A fellow Argentinian might just be the answer to unlock his potential and to stop him making the mistakes on the ball, that perhaps are born out of overconfidence or poor decision making.
As we have been talking wages and how that affects the transfer market lately, his wages are currently £21,500-a-week.
