Too soon, man!
Personally, I reckon the more money you have, the easier it becomes to just blow it without a second thought, though it's unlikely we'll ever get the chance to find out one way or another...
Think back to when Dele was presented to the Everton fans at Goodison and caught a bit of shit in the press for looking like a hobo, I bet you anything he spent thousands on what he was wearing. It's not all about big houses and flash cars, they will be getting rinsed for so many things that the average person wouldn't, and fleeced by hangers on.
I agree with you though, Winks doesn't strike me as the type to do that, I just don't think it's as easy as looking at his situation and wondering why he doesn't simply take a 50% drop in wages to get regular 1st team football?
He's well paid and playing for his boyhood club, personally if you gave me the choice right now, I'd rather be a reserve at Spurs than a starter at any other English club.
I’m confused, I thought Lenglet was in London? Why are they saying the deal isn’t close now?
He just visited to go to Nando’s
Because 90% of It is either made up or pure speculation.
Apparently he flew through a worm hole it’s been 3 days already he’s been missing .
Not this late. Conte wants his main buys in before the S Korea trip, it's seems Spence and Lenglet are what he wants and it's just Barca and Mboro being royal wankers in negotiations.
I think getting Reguilon out for an AM would balance our squad perfectly.
Spence for Emerson is all we need in terms of HG.
2 new CBs in squad instead of Rodon and Tanganga may be Lenglet and Bremer.
Boro maybe but Barcelona wants players out more than the plague.
Medical, video, paperwork signing??? It's close but not close if ya know what I mean :contethumb:
They want players out but they aren't giving them away.
I don't think that's true at all - there are many luxuries that are incredibly expensive, be it properties, cars, food, travel, clothes, whatever. For example, whereas you and I might have a couple of pints in the pub, these guys might order a £400 bottle of champagne, costing maybe 40 times what a couple of pints costs.
Whether or not they NEED to do that, or SHOULD do that is a different matter - do we NEED to go to the pub for a couple of pints when it would be cheaper to drink them at home, or not at all? Do we NEED to have takeaways that often cost 10 x what it would cost to cook at home?
It is definitely NOT difficult to live luxuriously and spend huge amounts of money, and get used to doing so, if you have a vast income, and there are many examples of that all over the celebrity world.
Whether Winks lives like that is a different matter, and is his business - none of us have any right to make assumptions about someone else's spending and 'judge' that they should be happy to halve their salary when we are not prepared to halve our own.
Fuck me, let's not inflict this gimp on the wider world...

I swear he's been "on his way to London" for the past week now
Heard LAFC still have 1 Designated Player spot left, after Bale and Chiellini. Those 3 together would do exactly what they're designed to do.....sell tickets.
After the season Lingard had for Spam in 20/21, can't believe he's not getting a look from more Prem clubs in need of HG. His wage demands must be ludicrous.
Surely there’s a mid table team (other than United) in for him. Would start at any team outside the top 6.
Wait till Jesse meets some real rappers....
