I would be a little gutted. The reason others would be going for him is because he's good. I just think that the day that a player chooses spurs over us is the day when we really need to take a few steps forward instead of backward. How can we offer less than them, surely if we want him, then we have better mean to get him.
Spurs need him more , they have to replace van der Vaart, so they will risk paying more money.
if Rodgers feels he is very important he will bid more, he knows what we need, that is why we are linked with many wide attacking players but only linked with Siggy in CM, it is because the Iceland man is an opportunity NOT a necessity.
