So based on watching how many games of Udogie, you have decided he's not cut from the type of cloth that can be adapted?
Which was obviously my question...
Sorry, i can't cop for something I've not said.

He's one of the better Spurs journos, although if I'm not mistaken he's a Woolwich supporter.
What did you mean when you said Udogie isn't cut from that cloth?

It's a negotiation there is no standard, cash is normally paid in a large first payment and then over two to three years (not itk but it's what's reported) but for accounting ffp it's amortised over the length of the contract.Where did £100 million come from? Anyway , transfer fees are usually paid over the length of the contract which I never get, so if we buy Madison for £40million on a 5 year deal that’s £8million a year, or is there a sum paid upfront and the balance over 5 years. Anyone know exactly how it works?
Which is why even with only 100m of the 150m drawn down, there should still be budget to play with from that.Where did £100 million come from?

The players mentioned won’t want to go to Leicester, unless it’s 31st Aug and there are no other options. The only one that might is TanganaNow I'm not a believer in these 'player+cash' swap deals that ALWAYS seem to be suggested in the 'Paper Talk' but rarely ever materialise....
THAT said; taking into account our seemingly impossible task of finding takers for our 'deadwood' plus the common notion that none are good enough for us, and barely good enough for the rest of the PL... there MUST be someone we could offer Leiectser to in part exchange for Maddison??
You're not telling me Winks or someone like Dier/Lo Celso or (checks who else we have to unload) Reguilón wouldn't do well there?
Sampdoria are way worse than Leiectser, but Winks was prepared to go there!
Why not give a promotion push from the Championship a stab??
I dunno, just a thought ...
£45m+Winks (or A.N.Other) seems like quite a good deal for Leicester to me ...
Are you sure you have the hyphen in the right place? If so then that's an extremely unusual first name...Oh absolutely, that's why I mentioned at the beginning that he's a good/ great Spurs journalist. But it's also a reason why I can never put him on the same category as Ali Gold (as painful as he is to listen to because of how slowly he talks) or Jack-Pitt Brooke.
People are already persuading themselves that good players aren’t good enough for Postecoglou’s system. Even though the man has said FUCK ALL about a single player in the squad.Can't fucking wait for the football to start...
Then we'll know exactly what Postecoglou's system is and which player will or will not fit in it...
And not have to rely on simulations ran in some cunt's mind...
My view is that if you’re gonna play with this type of player, you need two, or else you’re completely screwed if they’re injured or out of form. Never buying a proper apprentice to Eriksen in the peak Poch years always hurt us as we had no other conductor if he wasn’t on it.We so desperately need a decent creative midfielder so Levy should just pay the asking price or risk losing him to another team that will pay the fee without quibbling
100% we’ve suffered so much since Jan and Toby left.Exactly. That changes everything for us. Imagine those two and Romero fighting it out for 2 places. That’s healthy as fuck.
Alex Scott and or Alfie Devine.My view is that if you’re gonna play with this type of player, you need two, or else you’re completely screwed if they’re injured or out of form.

I would imagine Udogie would be used as someone who underlaps our winger and gets forward. With our two centre backs and right back pushing over and Hojbjerg/Skipp/Bentancur dropping deep.
I think in attack we're ultimately going to look like this :
STOverloads, unpredictability but more importantly always someone available. Udogie underlapping. Wingers staying wide, though when they come inside in between the lines, Udogie drops a tad deeper and a bit wider. Lone 6 to control but also capable of dropping between the centre halves.
