Twitter had spread news that Spurs were on the verge of signing Benteke.

People may lose confidence in Twitter over this.

We look incredibly weak over this. Pleased to still have him for at least one more season of course (until "Post World Cup sell-on value" kicks in... :rolleyes: ), but the way it has been done leaves a very sour taste.

what can you do? the perception is always against the club (although let's not pretend they are angels when the time is right).

sell and you're a push over for the player/agent/big club/right price. don't sell and you're a push over for the player/agent getting paid before they do you next year and up sticks. its absolutely fucking rotten. we've allowed ourselves to be done several times. utd will be over rooney because common sense will prevail over making money whilst they can.

Bosman has a lot to answer for. His seemingly honourable intentions have allowed contracts to become utterly meaningless for anything other than new signing-on fees for newly inked ones virtually every season.

I still think the only reason Benteke stayed is because nobody came in for him -I know he was linked with you guys but I never believed that for a second, and Spuds didn't actually make a bid - and his agent recommended a cut of losses. Depressing, but ah well. I'll be there for the Liverpool game, and watching him like a hawk, a hawk I tell you.

Got to start treating agents the same way the Tories treat unions. Agents are evil.

Got to start treating Tories the same way we ought to be treating agents.
