If true then it's an insult to both Lo Celso and Spurs. He's worth around £30m
The fuck he is.
Take the money and get rid. I suspect that is their starting point though, and that can be negotiated up.
we can get more then that so tell them to do one.
He’s worth what someone is willing to pay. I take it
No. We shouldn’t at all.
I wish Pochettino had done this before signing Ndombele. In fact, he could simply have googled him and had enough info not to buy him.
Sky reporter reveals Spurs the lengths Spurs are going to in order to sign the right players - Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News
Tottenham Hotspur are leaving no stone unturned in their extensive recruitment efforts to improve their squad.
Sky Sports reporter Paul Gilmour has revealed that the north Londoners have previously rejected the opportunity to sign a talented Premier League footballer since their findings believed that he would be a disruptive influence within the dressing room.
Spurs managing director of football Fabio Paratici has been working behind the scenes to conduct an evaluation of all departments which link to the footballing aspect of the club including a refresh of the scouting set-up (Football.London).
Gilmour told Sky Sports: “Extensive homework is being carried out on player ability and character. Spurs recently rejected the chance to sign one talented Premier League player because their research highlighted concerns he could be a disruptive influence.”

Antonio Conte appears to have moved on some of the disruptive influences within the squad and now has a happy core of players which we have not seen since the Mauricio Pochettino era.
Sky reporter Michael Bridge revealed in March that Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele were not generally popular at the club which is hardly surprising both found themselves shipped out of the club on loan (GiveMeSport).

I quite dislike the guy but £15m seems quite low for LoCelso
The most simple argument possible -
BEFORE FIXING DEPTH, GET YOUR FIRST XI SORTED OUT!
Seems fairly obvious that when you need few first pick players that would start 35+ games every season, then you first start with them. Cause you know- they play 35+ game. So their overall net contribution is bigger than for those that start 15 and then come on as sub for another 15.
But what considers the specific situation - I think it is Jesus specific. If you think it from his perspective, he is currently rotation option for one of the very richest club that is title-winning machine right now. Why would he specifically come to club that is smaller, poorer and where it is way harder to win trophies and still stay as rotational player?!?
I think among fans there is common understanding that we should sell Moura and Bergwijn and bring in someone who would be able to push/rotate our front 3. Just maybe Jesus specifically might not make sense.
...Which is so ironic - and incredibly frustrating - considering all the hippy dippy 'mentality' stuff he used to spout.
P O Keefe mentioned that this player could be Pogba.. not that Pogba had agreed to join or anything, but that we declined to look into a potential deal.
Remember... Levy got £17m for Kevin Wimmer
Could he evolve into a LWB
Pochettino was the coach. It wasn't his job to do background checks/scouting on players. We have no idea if the people we had at the club actually did their research or not. You think Klopp is doing that kind of work at Liverpool? He didn't even want Salah.
Blame the scouting team, not the manager..
We need to move on from weaning every last penny out of deals and dragging it out. You don’t want these turds at pre season, fuck them off now and let Conte plan accordinglyRemember... Levy got £17m for Kevin Wimmer
Agree on Wimmer, ridiculous fee but those days are gone man…. Too much scouting and data that blocks managers from making lazy, speculative decisions
Did I sleep through the entire window?
Surely Levy isn't signing anyone so soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if the stadium rights have been settled, hence the wad of money available for transfers
Cucurella and Lamptey -> Spurs
Rodon + Winks + 20 mil-> Brighton
Everyone win...
Except for Brighton
That’s a good point has the club fixed the scouting now, has Paratici done much with it, haven’t heard much on that front. Obviously Romero, Kulu and Bentancur are good players but the actual scouting team itself I wonder if there has been changes since Paratici came in.
