Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Well, barring some true fuck ups, we're EITHER going to have Toby and Eriksen, elite warhorses even if for only one season, OR plenty of money to spend from their sale.
By the same token I think it's most wise that we "offer" them "the chance to sign":
'The Vin Machine' and George 'K-iz-For-Killa' N'Koudou.
Article claims Atlético wanted to go after Semedo but the Griezmann saga hindered any negotiations, so Trippier is their plan B.
I wonder if we would/could go after Semedo then

From Spain: Atletico and Barcelona drama leads to transfer for Tottenham player - Sport Witness
While Antoine Griezmann may have finally completed his move to Barcelona, the fall out from it is likely to continue for some time. The move has soured the relationship between both clubs considerably and such is the disaster zone other players were always likely to get caught up in it. Nelson...

We'll only get 25 million for Toby if someone decides to buy him.
In a week or so we can charge what we want again.
The only thing is, if nobody is buying him at this cheap price, why are they going to buy him at a higher price?

I think that's a little harsh on him.
130 league apps, 20 goals, 18 assists.
That's 65 apps off the bench, 48 times subbed off. Has played 90 minutes merely 17 times.
A goal every 317 mins, so a goal every 3 and a half games is perhaps a more honest figure.
For comparison sake, Eriksen has a goal every 352 mins in the Prem.
Disclaimer - I'm not saying he's better than Eriksen, Just stats are stats, and they can be manipulated in favour of anything.
Poch likes his fellow countrymen so wouldn't put it past him to view Correa in perhaps a more flattering light.
The difference is that he plays as a mediapunta or no 10, sometimes as the striker, not as a playmaker. If he has played 90 minutes only 17 times it's because he isn't good enough
Or indeed at significantly higher wages...
The lack of interest in him even at £25m is baffling.
The financial ramifications upon him from not renewing 2 years ago aside, fuck knows what you're thinking if you're TA. Even if he runs his deal down now it seems a stretch to assume anyone will give him mega wages on a free next summer.
At this stage, if I'm him, if I could get 3 years at 100kpw here I'd sign that deal in a flash then have a 2/3 year swansong at Ajax on a free.
Don't know the player myself, but I think subbed off 48 times is the most telling part of that story tbh.
Sounds hilarious
There must be something we don't know. It is possible Toby will retire at the age 32, March 2021.
My Atleti-mad mate's view on him: "not bad for the bench I suppose".
I'd rather young Dani Olmo from what I've seen

It's his wages that are the problem.
This should cause him to rethink things, he's not worth the wages he thought he was.
You missed the bit where they threw a bag over his head and carried him into the back of a tinted out van to go get his "medical".
ochbye:
Who knows.
I think he can play at the top level until 35.
