Take a small loss to rid ourselves of Chiriches
Absolutely delighted to hear Vlad Chiriches has agreed terms with Roma over a move to the more suitable Italian league for him.
He game has so many flaws that he simply isn't good enough to be a centre-half and my thoughts that right-back was the only option for him was born out against Hull City. Returned to centre-half in midweek he once again kept passing to the opposition deep in our own half.
The Italian league is slow and the weakest of the main European leagues. That will allow him the time to decide what to do, when rushed he just keeps making the wrong decision. Sky Italia tell us Walter Sabatini, director of football at Roma, will now travel to London ahead of the January transfer window to try to agree a fee.
That is the big stumbling block as Daniel levy wants to recoup the £8.36 million he paid for him. Roma are looking at a loan deal with a buy clause at the end of the season. There are loan deals with options to buy and loan deals with an agreement to buy build in, much like the Lewis Holtby loan. That is the only sort of loan that appeals to Tottenham, they need to remove him from the wage bill and free up a squad place for another non-home grown player.
Mauricio Pochettino can not buy any non-home grown players until we can offload some so getting Chiriches off the books is a step in the right direction. Levy may well have to take a small loss on the player but to get someone with a better mentality into the club, it's a loss worth taking.
