Why the £10m Kaboul stories ar rubbish
Someone at the Daily Star is trying to be mischievous with a shock story that has nothing to back it up. Naturally those that just regurgitate the news have fallen for it hook, line and sinker.
Daniel Levy is holding out for £10 million (US$15.62m - AUS$20.08m - €13.82m) for club captain Younes Kaboul from newly promoted Watford. Really? If you stop and think for two seconds and apply a spot of common sense then you would say the story is complete rubbish.
Several factors suggest the figure is a reporters invention, the story is a reporters invention, Watford may well have an interest but no club will have an interest at that price. Tottenham need to offload players, Mauricio Pochettino is being backed in the transfer market as we try to bring in quality youth and high quality youth. When you add someone to a wage bill you need to take someone off it, paying to sets of wages for a summer is plain stupid and Daniel Levy is no fool.
The incident in November meant Kaboul was stopped from talking to the media, this is the club captain, the voice of the club. He hardly played for the club again and he wasn't selected in the AIA Cup squad that went to Malaysia and Australia. The club captain not on tour tells you, if you didn't already know, that the club don't want him and don't want him associated with the brand.
Vlad Chiriches has been a disaster since he arrived for £8.36 million (US$12.97m - AUS$16.79m - €11.54m) as part of the 'Summer Seven' in 2013, yet now we are reported to ne willing to do a deal for him at around £7 million (US$10.86m - AUS$14.06m - €9.57m).
Last summer Italian clubs tried to but Kaboul, in January Turkish club Beşiktaş, then managed by now West Ham United manager Slaven Bilić, for £3.5 million (US$5.43m - AUS$7.03m - €4.83m), Spurs wanted £5 million (US$7.76m - AUS$10.04m - €6.90m). So according to the Daily Star, with 6 months less on his contract, it now has a year to run, when the price comes down, the club are supposed to have doubled it and priced him out of the market.
Utter rubbish, the story makes no sense whatsoever and thus is highly unlikely to be an accurate appraisal of the situation. This is a reporter deciding Daniel Levy tries to get the best price for a player and has come up with this almost certain invention because people will read it.
The Guardian are reporting that Spurs are truing to sell Jaboul for £5 million which is far more likely, that you can believe.
