Why did Tottenham decide to sell Jed Spence for £31.5 million?
Hi guys, welcome to Talking Tottenham 1882. Well, the news has dropped. Here we go. Jed Spence sold for a massive whopping £31.5 million. Wow. Uh I I don't know really what to say about that one. Uh for me it's a shocking decision. But what do I know? Uh But Jed has gone. And um I mean, some will be rejoicing the fact we're selling a 26-year-old player at the peak of his career. But let's be honest. If the boss don't want him and the boss can't guarantee him a start, And into Milana wanting him, then why would you stay around? From his position, why would you stay? It just seems to me that to be quite crazy that we're selling a player. Just as he's started to hit form. And um This is the guy. that we've now been linked with.
Uh nothing hundred percent solid yet. But uh Minuz, uh what is he? He's a proven Premier League right sidey defender, wing back, extremely aggressive going forward, high energy, productive. Um Palace had to ext uh extended his contract through to twenty twenty eight. So they're not really forced to sell. So what does that mean? Does that mean we're gonna have to pay well over the odds? I mean
What does the potential signing of Min Uz mean for Spurs’ right‑back position?
We've sold him for twenty five million. Do you rating Steve Parris is gonna sell Manus for twenty five million? He's thirty years of age. I'm not quite sure what we're doing. Um, but you know, De Zerby has is is called the shots. Let's hope that we uh That we don't have a uh an injury. That uh Destin of Doggy is okay and uh that Pedro Porro doesn't have an injury. But for me I I'm I'm not quite understanding.
Personally I'm gutted, but What can you do? That it happened so so quickly because uh this morning there was uh Fabrizio Romana Inter sent opening official bid. That was just this morning. Um Spence said yes to inter-contract conditions and now Club hopeful to reach an agreement. And just shortly uh a short while ago. The here we go. So he is gone and Minuz might be coming in. And uh That's that's one thing to digest. But then we've got the uh the other news. um of other players that um that might be coming in might be coming into the team. And uh that is Florent Balligan. Uh I mean over the last twenty four hours this story has suddenly started to accelerate as well. Le Quip in France reports that Tottenham have made a move in recent hours and have laid the groundwork for discussions over a transfer valued around about sixty million euros.
And now we're seeing further reports claiming Tottenham have been in contact with Balogun's camp and the Roberto de Zerby approves of the player for that striking position. and that Monaco are open to selling at that price.
Is Balogun really the £60 million striker Tottenham need?
Uh and perhaps most interesting that the player would be attracted by the Spurs project. Um Let me know what you're thinking. Are you put off by the fact that he's uh a former Arsenal player? He didn't get into the um the the Spurs the Arsenal team, shall I say. Um why didn't he get into the Arsenal team at the time? He wasn't given his chance. Not because he was no good, but because Eddie Inketia um was uh ahead of him. And um I think he's a really, really good player. Um but um Fabrizio Romano's information is a little bit more cautious. His position is that several clubs have made contract regarding Balogun, but there's nothing concrete or advanced with Spurs yet. But I think there's there there's something that could be happening with him.
Uh I mean look, he he went on loan limited minutes at Arsenal as w as I said before, went to Ray, uh, where he scored twenty one. Uh goals in thirty games. And then he gets the uh the the trip to um Monaco. He goes there for I think it was around about uh forty million forty million euros. And uh He gets there, he gets injured a bit at the beginning. So he he didn't have the greatest start because of his injury set bracks. But then his breakout was last season. 19 goals, lots of contributions across all competitions. Club's MVP or Club's uh player of the season and long scoring streak. He got uh I think it was eight in a row, eight goals in a row. Uh but he played well in the Champions League. I wouldn't actually
