Tottenham attacker being offered for just €30M, must be a good thing, surely?
Mathys Tel is not a player I would have bought. In fact, I think I’ve made numerous references to him on my YouTube channel as being this millennium’s Frasier Campbell—the unexpected item in the bagging area.
It couldn’t be a true Spurs transfer deal, of course, without Daniel Levy adding his extra tuppence worth of stupid and knocking cash off the deal, because he felt he was getting the upper hand.
The idea that after an uninspiring loan, it was then blowing even more money on the boy was frankly surreal.
Then, of course, there are still those out there who want to believe in something, which is par for the course with this fan base.
Pundit Turk Sehan recently posted online:
“Galatasaray will sign one winger, a left-winger. They'll sign a backup striker. They'll make a transfer for the number 10 position and, so to speak, pour money into the number 10 position.”
However, it is the case that Tel’s agents are the drivers here, with MSN reporting that a €30m valuation is in place, with Tottenham favouring a permanent sale or loan with a mandatory purchase clause.
This may well suggest that Roberto De Zerbi has seen enough.

Key notes: 13 starts in the league, frequent substitute. Scored in matches against Leeds and Bournemouth. Struggled for consistent starts under Thomas Frank amid squad competition.
Galatasaray have apparently now revived interest in Tel, particularly after Mauro Icardi’s departure, as they look to strengthen their attack. Okan Buruk is reportedly keen on his versatility, meaning he can play as a striker or on the wings, for those wondering.
For me, the application of this Bayern Munich discount voucher was nonsensical, and to offload him would be a great thing.
He’s just one of several deadbeats we need shot of in this window.It seems there is also interest in Richarlison from Turkey.This is a league we could be doing a lot of business with this summer.We do not need Savinho,he’s a busted flush,I hope RDZ is not behind this nonsense.
For 30 mill bite their hand off. I'm more concerned about the players we havent signed and I just hope options isn't getting thin out there.
Tzolis to Arse for 40 mill.
Trincao to Al-Hilal for 40 mill.
Kang-in Lee to Atletico for 40 mill.
Rodriguez to Bournemouth for 25 mill.
That would have been a brand new front four for 145 mill, less than our midfield two. I'm not sold on Savinho either, we can do better.
