Loan with an obligation is the same as a purchase for FFP reasons.
looks like we are close to lenglet: loan with option to buy
In some cases, yes. Imo though this is more when there is too much change in the form of players who - almost - automically slots into the first 11.
Our top players - Kane, Son, Hugo, and arguably 1 or 2 more - will want to start competing at the top end of the table and have a real shot at a cup. They'll know that squad depth absolutely needs to be adressed, also broader than your suggestion. As will everyone in our squad.
The only player we've signed so far who automatically slots into our starting line-up is Perisic, and you could make the argument that he'll be the only one, no matter what happens. Bissouma will need to take a spot from Skipp, PEH, Bentacur. Whichever one or even two attacking will need to duke it out with Kulu for starts plus rotation starts. Even if we sign a top class CB then Dier and Davies has earned that it's their spot to lose.
I'm completely convinced that the whole squad understands this. Those who didn't have already been put to one side. If Davies, just to single out the most vulnerable starter from last season, wants glory, he'll have to be good enough to see off competition for his spot from top level signings, and of course he respects this fact. Otherwise Conte wouldn't have started him every match.
Even 5-6 more signings will not be an issue imho.
Or they didn't want Spurs. It's a well-known fact that Raphinha's clear 1st choice is Barca - if their finances were in order Spurs wouldn't have a chance (nor any other club).
PS! Chelski are still above Spurs in the pecking order...but the gap is being reduced.

Has FR said anything about this potential loan?
And Leverkusen wants "mustard money" for him. The price quoted in the press is €100m.
Moussa Diaby, en pleine forme avec Leverkusen, voit sa valeur marchande grimper
En grande forme depuis le début de l'année, l'ailier français du Bayer Leverkusen a vu sa cote grimper. Ses dirigeants ne souhaitent pas le lâcher à moins de 100 millions d'euros.

So you are pretty sure that Spurs are signing Richarlison and it's just a matter of when and not if. Plus you are confident that Chelsea entering the race won't turn his head in any way?
We can downplay this as much as we want, but he's still going to score 20 goals for them.

You’re mentally ill
He hasn’t scored 20 for City per season in the prem with the best supporting attackers in the league, he may do that but he would have to improve significantly as a player.
The mood of (quite) a few Spurs fans right now

Maybe including Europa but he won’t get close to 20 league goals.
He’s good but not great.
Boro wanted £15M from Forest, they want £25M + from us.
How stupid do you need to be to pay nearly double the price that was quoted to another team in the same league?
Utd were doing that regularly, worked out well for them didn't it?
Is that really necessary?
