No one will pay 65 million. Winks+ 25/20m should be enough.

Noticed he never named any of these statement players
Tottenham told to snub Richarlison and make two 'statement' signings
ANTONIO CONTE has been urged not to pursue Richarlison by a former Tottenham striker.www.express.co.uk
Tottenham have been urged to forget signing Richarlison because he would not be a "statement signing". Former Spurs striker Teddy Sheringham believes his old team should instead focus on alternative big-name targets.
Everton star Richarlison has been linked with a move to north London after helping the Toffees stay in the Premier League. Antonio Conte has already made two signings in Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster, and is closing in on Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma.
But Sheringham does not think Richarlison would be a wise signing, claiming there are already enough players of his ilk at the club. He told Lord Ping: "I don't think he's what is needed now.
"Tottenham have got good attacking players; [Harry] Kane, [Heung-min] Son, [Dejan] Kulusevski, [Steven] Bergwijn is still there, [Lucas] Moura is still there. We’ve got players in the Richarlison mold and I don’t think he would be a statement signing that would get teams worried.
"If they were to sign him, what would the result be? In my day, when we signed [Jurgen] Klinsmann, a proper World Class player, everyone in the dressing room was buzzing.
"We knew what we were going to get from him. You need players that are going to take you to the next level and I don’t think Richarlison is one of them."
Tottenham are back in the Champions League after finishing fourth in the Premier League last term. And Sheringham would like to see a couple of major incomings give what he feels is a much-needed boost to the squad.
He added: "I'd like to see at least two more players go in there. Statement signings that show the world Tottenham are changing the stature of the club.
Lingard and Rashford probably.
Gooner breakfast missing a large pot of salt.
Three weeks to go…3 in 3 or 4 in 3

Hopefully 5 in 3 :contethumb:
My prediction is Spence / Bremer / one of Richarlison or Raphina.Three weeks to go…3 in 3 or 4 in 3

Sheringham: Tottenham should ditch Richarlison interest and sign Rice
Tottenham do not need Richarlison and should instead focus on a mega deal for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, Teddy Sheringham has claimed.

“These big players don't come around very often, but signing him would make a statement because he is immense every time he plays. He would make a statement to say we're going places, and that's what you want.”
My prediction is Spence / Bremer / one of Richarlison or Raphina.
Bremer is a CB so if we get him you assume we would need to still get a LCB in replacement for Bastoni.
Also Eriksen for free is still doing the rounds.
Anyone think Morata would be a good fit as a back up? Also just read that Martinez hasn't ruled out a move away from Inter

“If you're going to make a statement, and West Ham fans won't like me for this, then go and get Declan Rice. He is an unbelievable player. And he's good for the next eight years. He's the man to take us to the next level.Sheringham: Tottenham should ditch Richarlison interest and sign Rice

"Us"
Bremer is whatever Conte wants him to be. No-one thought Davies could be a lcb in a back 3, Moses a rwb, Azpuicaleta a rcb, I think Cahill played lcb for Conte too. The man knows what he is doing

Rice would be amazing .. also about 130 million minimum, so not even worth considering. Some of these ex professionals don't half come out with some pointless shit. You may as well tell us to go and sign bloody Neymar.
I am fine with Richarlison joining ( but not for a ransom) but Raphinha is much more effective (until he proves otherwise) wide on the right, so he would be in direct competition to Kulusevski.
Thus I rather go for, say, Brereton and wait for a season to see how Scarlett and Parrott develop before spending huge on a CF to eventually replace Kane. And if Kane extends his contract with Spurs he may play to he's 35+.
I don't know what that's meant to mean but if a player doesn't want to leave you can't force them.
