Sounds good, if Ndonbele can turn into the player his apologists think he can.
But Levy just had a heart attack even thinking about spending that kind of money.
We've had every version of this story so far. It's transfer mad libs!
<Club> does/does not wish to sell <Player>, but <Manager/Chairman> do/do not wish to do so. <Other club> not willing to meet valuation, offers <money/player> instead.
At least the PEH stuff had some semblance of logic. Still waiting for everyone to sing the right tune on Ndombele, whatever that may be.
Levy's not going to let him go for less than £55-60m anyway, and probably won't cough up more than £40-45m for Skriniar. The Barca links have died down a bit as well. Which is why I think this drags on into the season regardless of the outcome.
Hoping or a Bergwijn situation where it happens in like 3 days from start to finish, at least for one of them. We need two now.
Play them, loan them, and/or sell them by 23. Our academy should be one of the ways we fund transfer business. If we can get academy players into the first team, great, but you will rarely have more than 2-4 in a matchday squad.
Don't worry he's still out the office on his lunch break taking advantage of the 50% off, Monday - Wednesday meal deal at selected outlets
Statement of intent and all that. New CB/RB and have a rock solid back line for the first time in 4 years would be nice.
Hopefully this will stop the obscene amounts players were getting & transfer fee's were. It was just going up & up. Making the sport more & more unlikable. I also hope fan's start spending a lot less.
Fair enough. But then why would clubs like Burnley, Huddersfield, Brighton, Watford, Palace, Bournmouth, Newcastle, Wolves etc have a 5 year transfer budget Greater than Spurs with far, far less operating revenue than we do?

We're just shaping up to be a bit light on players in general.
Particularly if we're campaigning on four fronts in a version of the game where everyone gets 5 subs.
We spent £160m (£115m net) the last two windows. Even without CL I would have expected us to spend around £100m this summer if not for coronavirus.
Is he planning on running away or something?
Think he would be an improvement on Moura or Lamela, wouldn't mind the change.
He’s been inconsistent since his breakthrough season. He was linked with all the superclubs and has fallen off that a bit. Tonnes of pace and talent, though.
Fair enough. But then why would we have a transfer budget over 5 years less than Burnley, Huddersfield, Brighton, Watford, Palace, Bournmouth, Newcastle, Wol.............
