He doesn't.... Loads; if not most clubs pay in installments..... It took years for us to get all the Modric money from RM for instance.

There have been notable instances of lump sum payments, but they are few and far between. In any case, there has been reporting that payment schedule is not the issue here:
The reporting has more or less told a coherent story:
-Romero was Spurs #1 target and they wanted him in as soon as he was available (this Monday). Romero wants to join and has accepted personal terms and wants the deal done.
-Atalanta were negligent in pursuing a acceptable replacement, which led to the delays this week where basically nothing was happening
-Spurs tried to move things along by increasing their bid to meet Atalanta's evaluation, only to be rebuffed, leaving both parties salty
It's in no one's best interest for this deal to get killed, so hopefully Atalanta get their shit together and things move rapidly over the next 2-3 days and Romero is holding a shirt come Tuesday/Wednesday.
Don’t engage mate - these people are bacially politicians paid by ENIC
Should we take bets on which one injures the other? :mourfacepalm:

Post the proof for once - come on!
Gil is bench
I'm actually more concerned with everything OTHER than Romero right now.
Backup striker - some links, a bit all over the place in terms of cost/quality
CB #2 - a bunch of links, nothing feels concrete
RB - Tomiyasu/Doherty is pretty meh and Tomiyasu may or may not happen depending on Romero, which is weird.
Need to sell Sanchez/Aurier/Sissoko/Winks.
A lot to be done in the next month.

Stories that Atalanta wanted to sign 2 or more players with the Romero money (less the £16m they will owe Juve) so, its probably one down and another still 'work in progress'
But their signings are down to them., they have a CB replacement now is the line Spurs should be taking, and if they want to take more time, fine but now sign the Romero deal.
All clubs pay transfer fees over years, if the selling club allow it.

This - we need to be getting rid of 3-4 more players at least
Spurs shouldn't give two shits about Atalanta's issue with getting another player in. I can understand why Paratici was frustrated. There's not much more Spurs can do here.
Again I would direct you to the Mourinho example, there is nothing in the game he hasn't done but yet his judgement was questioned from start to finish by people on here, most of the time correctly as it turned out. The judgement of the DOFs and previous managers we have employed have been wrong time and time again, Levy's own judgement has been wrong time and time again, anyone can be wrong.
Like I said before, substandard players lead to mistakes being repeated, I've explained that the list should be of a similar standard all the way through it's not. It's not shoehorning Levy, he has ultimate control and interfered previously with DOFs.
Tomiyasu picked up a yellow today so he's suspended for the semi
Maybe Eriksen taught him a lesson. That hanging on for more money left him with a totally disinterested player who added absolutely nothing to the team for 6 months and then left for next to nothing.
Yes, let's do THAT again.
No one knows. But the fact we are the ones that always peddle the line "we tried but it was too complex" whereas our rivals MAKE their deals happen. They bludgeon them over the line.
OK, there's paying the full sum up front then there's structured payments, then there's setting targets no one will ever meet. "Yeah, we'll give you 55 mil, as long as he is the first man to land on Mars and get home alive"
28 fucking minutes I wasted the other day watching the wrong Gil playing for Spain
I'd rather have not got the extra goalkeeper and put the money into Romero's transfer fee.
it's too stressful
it's too stressful
I can't see a single sentence from Di Marzio where he sates that.
Don't know about Modric but the Bale payment was certainly staggered over five years
Other than to meet a buy out clause in a contract (and its mandatory to have a buy out cluse in a contract in Spain for example), virtually all other transfer payment schedules are agreed by the clubs.
The most common payment structure has been to spread the transfer fee over the players new contract - eg if a £25m fee is agreeed and player at new club is on a 5 year contract, the transfer feee is paid at £5m pa over the 5 years.
With FFP, in mind a lot of deals have been done as a loan first with the transfer fee (still payable over the contract period) only becoming due at end of the loan period. As we have heard with the Gollini deal.
So in short 'paying all the transfer fee up front' is now the least likely payment method
