Not been any media reply to the Luongo buy back clause, which seems strange.
Thought Sam may have had an insight into it.
If Spurs had the chance to buy back Luongo on the cheap from us, why would they have shelled out £5m on Delle Ali from Franchise. Pretty sure there are rules to prevent buying and selling immediately, certainly Premier to Premier League in the same window. They would also have to shell out on agents fees twice to shift on. |

The Luongo buy back for £400k story doesn't stack up. It amounts to a 100% sell on clause. Spurs would buy him back, regardless of whether they actually needed him, to then (possibly) sell on themselves at a profit. Makes no sense.

Didnt Jed broker the deal? They probably supplied the illuminous advertising as part of it

It does indeed sound bobbins. As you say, how would that work, "Hi Spurs its Lee Power here. We are just about to sell Luongo for £3M, if you don't want him back for 400K obviously". "£3M, well actually Lee..."...
But the Adver seem to quote Luongo :
“They could buy me for what they sold me for, but obviously I am not in their plans, which is fine," he added.
Maybe there is some clause that means they could but couldn't resell within.... Or maybe its bobbins. Most odd.

What time do you reckon Thor will be back on here? I bet he is having a wank getting ready to post on the 3 forums.
I see the Oxygen stealer has just arrived |

As reported, not it doesn't. But given that a five-year old could work that out (as is evidenced by the fact many of us on here have done so), then if such a clause exists, presumably it's hedged with some kind of "right to buy him back at the original price as long as you don't sell him straight on within the same season" clause. Unless this was one of Jed's deals. In which case the whole "obvious to a five-year old" thing doesn't really apply |

any body heard rumours that Luongo absence on Saturday was more to do with spat with Lee Power than a last minute groin strain? According to my friend Power not happy with him indicating that he wanted away and that he has done a Branco on him and refused to play him.......any truth in any of that or is he talking out of his arse?
Tom Bassam's choice of words suggests may be something to it......
Massimo Luongo’s absence was the major talking point of Cooper’s team selection. The Aussie apparently left behind in Wiltshire with a groin injury.

Wait. So the inclusion of the word 'apparently' somehow lends credence to said rumour?

I saw Luongo on Thursday and he looked fine, so could well be something in it. |

Fucking ridiculous.
Power is going to sell Mass whether we go up or not - everyone accepts that. So what difference does it make if Mass says it as well.
Obviously there is previous with Branco but that was a contract dispute.
Now the window is shut and all everyone wants is promotion, what would be the benefit of dropping Mass.
