Lyon chief on Lloris/Spurs deal: "The negotiation has been the hardest I have ever had to undergo in these 25 years."

'He goes back on what we've agreed in writing': Lyon chief blasts Spurs chairman Levy over '50-50' Hugo Lloris deal

By John Cross |

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has launched a withering attack on Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy for moving the goalposts on their attempts to sign Hugo Lloris.
Tottenham have been chasing France No1 Lloris all summer but Lyon insist that Spurs have now tried to change the terms of the deal at the last minute.
Outspoken Aulas now gives the Lloris deal a "50-50" chance and issued a long and bitter attack on Levy and Spurs after claiming they have made it the hardest deal in his 25 years of experience.
Aulas, talking at today's Europa League draw in Monaco, said: "We have had people speaking all night with Daniel Levy. He talks a lot and goes back on what we've agreed in writing.
"The things as they were at 5am were not the same at 10am. I think we have to make sure we get a certain amount of value because it's important that Hugo can go to a quality club that allows him to do himself justice from a value point of view, so that he can feel right about it.
"At the moment we're talking about whether he can come back to say his goodbyes to the supporters, to his team-mates, so we can honour him, this truly great player and brilliant man.
"I would put it at 50-50 that Hugo goes to Tottenham. Although from the outset we've submitted to agreements I would now put it at 50-50 that he'll be going there.
"Agreements have not at all been respected. We've done what we can. Hugo has been troubled by the difficulty in these negotiations.
"He's one of the best in Europe in his position. Our transfer window is open until 4 September but for Tottenham the English transfer window closes on 31 August. Either it happens tonight or not at all for Hugo Lloris

"It's been very, very difficult. I'vee got 25 years of experience as a president of a club and it's our 16th participation in a European competition in a row. But this is very rare in the football world.
"The negotiation with the Tottenham directors has been the hardest I have ever had to undergo in these 25 years.
"We had email exchanges which have been contradicted, so that's made it very complicated. It's difficult. The Tottenham board's theory is to explain that the economic market is very hard and so we have to get used to renegotiating.
"But for us, who are attached to a player of the quality of Hugo Lloris, and such is the value of the transfer, that causes us to ask questions.
"He has agreed personal terms with Tottenham, he remains under that impression, but since we have had Hugo Lloris on the telephone for a long time overnight and this morning and he's completely undecided about what happens next.
"We've been negotiating all night. The first negotiation was at the start of the window, about a month-and-a-half ago, through an intermediary who was a French lawyer, who lives in Lyon.
"And then nothing for about a month-and-a-half. The negotiation then picked up again about a week ago."

To follow-up, it seems weird to me that most of the best parts of the team are gone (assuming Lennon is too). I'm really excited about the new players being brought in and AVB taking full responsibility for his creation, but it's a weird feeling.

I'm with you, think it's because really we've got rid of some proven performers (modric, VDV) and replaced them with relative unknowns (in terms of in a Spurs shirt/in the prem).

Definitely exciting though!
 
Re: The summer transfer thread, Dembele pg 1277 #Levytime

still waiting for OS re Mautinho

is is simply AWESOME to get the playmaker of Portugal from a team in the CL

simply stunning deal and one of the best in the clubs history

I really don't know why people do this to themselves. Let's give it a season before we start with superlatives eh?
 
Re: The summer transfer thread, Dembele pg 1277 #Levytime

Does anyone else find it kind of sad that the entire team is basically gone except for Bale?

We had a similar massive shake-up in Jan (& Jly) 2005 when we brought-in loads of young talent to replace the aging squad we had at the time:

Grzegorz Rasiak Derby County Jul-05 £2,200,000
Young-Pyo Lee PSV Eindhoven Jul-05 £1,290,000
Jermaine Jenas Saudi Sportswashing Machine Jul-05 £7,000,000
Edgar Davids Inter Milan Jul-05 Free
Wayne Routledge Crystal Palace Jul-05 £1,250,000
Teemu Tainio Auxerre Jul-05 Bosman
Tom Huddlestone Derby County Jul-05 £2,000,000
Aaron Lennon Leeds United Jun-05 £800,000
Paul Stalteri Werder Bremen Jun-05 Bosman
Mido AS Roma Jan-05 18 month Loan
Michael Dawson Nottingham Forest Jan-05 £3,500,000
Andy Reid Nottingham Forest Jan-05 £4,500,000
Radek Cerny Slavia Prague Jan-05 Loan to 31.05.08
Mounir El Hamdaoui Excelsior Rotterdam Jan-05 £300,000
David Limbersky Viktoria Plzen Jan-05 Loan
Emil Hallfredsson FH Hafnarfjordur Jan-05 £250,000
 
Re: The summer transfer thread, Dembele pg 1277 #Levytime

Looking forward to it but it does seem very risky. AVB seems to be doing what he was not allowed to do at Chelsea. Rather than building on what we already had he's trying to start from scratch, fair play to Levy for backing him.

Just hope the knives don't come out if this new team takes time to gel.

thats just it - he IS building on what we had.

GK - new
LB - same
CB - new
CB- same
RB- same
DM - same
CM - new
AM - new
LW - same
RW - same
ST - same


it's really only 4 "new" signings if Mouts and Lloris come in - and one of those was an enforced replacement
 
Re: The summer transfer thread, Dembele pg 1277 #Levytime

I hope all Spurs fans on twitter are blowing up VDV's twitter thanking him for his time here. Guy was a legend.
