Spurs talking with QPR over Eze

Spurs-Talking-With-QPR


Good morning folks and welcome to some moe Tottenham Tittle Tattle on this Thursday morning. Today we talk about Eberechi Eze.

It is just a short post with my eyes getting better, although a couple of days staying away from the laptop has helped enormously.

Thanks to everyone for their concern.

Before I start, let me refer back to my last post which you can find a link below and indeed the one before it where Mourinho himself demonstrated he was a part of the problem Spurs have and why it will not be solved.

Solve 2 Habits and You Solve Spurs Problems
Mourinho Can't Solve A Problem He Is A Part Of

These two articles are essential reading to understand the major problem at Spurs, I highly recommend you read them both.

Take in the Mourinho Can't Solve A Problem He Is A Part Of first, then it's follow up.

If it were as simple as just leaving it to players then everyone in the country would be a roaring success as the CEO of their own multi-million pound company, but they aren't.

There are millions of people doing jobs they don't like, under bosses they don't like, for money they don't like.

Just 1% of individuals motivate themselves.

Answer this question, why do you go to work in the morning?

The real reason?

That is the nearest you will come to finding out what your motivation is.

Have you ever asked yourself that question?

Regular readers may have done of course but nobody asks that question of themselves, so why should a footballer?

Football is just a job like any other.

An enjoyable job maybe, but still just a job.

Players are just human beings, they get stuck in ruts the same as you, they have new bosses the same as you may well have had.

And I bet you have just sunk back into your old routine after a bit, once you have sussed out what you think they think of you.

Leaving mental problems a player doesn't accept they have to players will cure nothing.

There is a fundamental lack of understanding of motivation in football I'm afraid.

It is about time the game caught up with other sports.

Right onto today and Eze.

José Mourinho likes Oliver Skipp and I hear Skippy will be signing a new contract with the club but is likely to go out on loan.

Daniel Levy is talking to QPR about 22-year-old (23 next June) attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze, a club we helped out with the loans of 23-year-old defensive midfielder Luke Amos and 19-year-old former Leeds United winger Jack Clarke.

As you all know, last summer and again in January, I reported we reached an agreement with Eze to come to Tottenham this summer.

The highly promising youngster has scored 12 goals and had 8 assists in 42 games, a goal percentage figure of 33%.

A year on and now we are talking quietly with QPR about a fee, about further loans deals, about the transfer of Luke Amos to them.

Spurs have a very good relationship with QPR, former Spurs U-21 centre-back Dominic Ball is there playing as a defensive midfielder and another former Spurs U-21 centre-back, Grant Hall.

Londoner Mark Warburton is their manager and we have a good relationship with him too. We like his style of coaching and sent players to him when he was at Brentford and Glasgow Rangers in Scotland.

It won't be a straight forward fee to buy Eze, we are having to be creative with deals so I would expect tp see Luke Amos sold to QPR, Oliver Skipp to be loaned to them for a season and Eberechi Eze to join Spurs.

Loaning Eze back to QPR for another season is not out of the question either.

When you loan a player to another club, there is usually a loan fee involved, although often not if you are sending a youngster out on loan to develop them, as in the case of Clarke and Amos.

Given Oliver Skipp is a first team squad member, there will be a fee agreed if he joins QPR on loan. Whether that fee is paid or not will depend upon what is best for accounting purposes.

What could happen is that fee comes off the transfer fee for Eze. If Amos is sold to them that would too so there are various options for a deal to be struck that is beneficial to both sides.
