The player has an agreement with us.
Why would he go to tottenham when they don't have CL and even malaga have CL?
Regarding chelsea-
I'll put it this way-Look at vertonghen-obviously he saw us as a more attractive option but he knew we were stockpiled with centre backs. Same with chelsea. They have hazard, mata, oscar, lampard, marin, de bruyne, romeu competing for 3 spots. We might have similar numbers but a few of lesser quality, some deadwood and a few who have injury issues (Wilshere till october, Rosicky and Shaft)
