So if Sanchez goes to Monaco, then Monaco probably don't need Tosin, who might then come to Spurs as a CB after Romero and Van de Ven..
No, if you look back, the origin of the conversation was before that, and was me and Zomb talking about value for money.You came in halfway through and it moved on to talking about realistic objectives. But your error there doesn't matter, both those topics have indeed been discussed at length.
If I did then fair enough. That's a different topic to me but can also see how that tangent happened.
Bollox to it all though. Levy isn't changing. Not really any point debating what this club could be if his ownership was different.
Aha, and finally we're back to pure transfer talk.
Yes I too would be worried if it was just Richie in that role. God knows what the plan is. Maybe he'll come good. I did wonder if Son would be given that role - we know he can finish. But I guess ultimately we all have to hope that a). Ange knows what he wants, b). He's right, and c). Levy can and will deliver it for him, whatever it is. I know obviously it is the 'c' that most will be sceptical of, and if whatever does or doesn't happen proves to be a disaster, then any anger amongst the fans will be entirely understandable, so I think we're all on the same page with that at least.
And just not accept mediocrity and ripping the fans off at every turn

Chelsea, funded by Saudi money indirectly, selling one of their biggest young talents to a direct rival, publicly owned by Saudi money.
Kid is 18. There is ZERO reason for chelsea to let a direct rival have him on a permanent. They could loan him to their pick of prem teams this year because he's good enough.
Football is so fucked. Corruption in plain sight.
No effective governance of the game and it is killing competition. Sport is competition.
And you could also argue if we don't even consider him to be worth £30 million in today's market then we clearly don't really rate him...so why are we even interested in the first place
"Denial"
This is incredibly ironic as you have effectively dredged up the exact same conversation you and I had yesterday (i.e. how that gap over 5 years might actually be accounted for if one looks beyond the lazy 'tight bald cunt theory'); which led us down exactly the same path.... With me left asking you exactly the same question, which after a fair few hundred words expended, led to you doing your best Sunak impression of answering the climactic question with a reductive, deviating question in order to evade the point being made to you all along.............. And then disappearing to chat about something else, cos once unpacked, the convo took you somewhere you hadn't planned on being.
Quite.
"Denial"
As has already been put to you,
Richard Arlison
and numerous people many times before; if you draw a line the in the sand of Spurs spending at the day we moved back into the new stadium (which is THE entirely fair thing to do) then the spending comparisons between us Arse & Liverpool (i.e. the teams of a similar income bracket) then we don't compare anywhere near as unfavourably.......The fair caveat to that being that the final spend levels of this current window are TBC. However, this does beg the question; on what basis is this currrent 5 year/250 spend gap you've jumped on actually been calculated? ....5 years from today? ....The last 5 complete trf windows? ...Did you even care to question the figures?
Unfortunately for brevity of discussion; details matter.
Also further sidenote: "Denial" - Yesterday...... "There's been no links to players in or out today" >>>> Simply not true.
The broader, frustrating fact of the matter is that once again were in one of those cyclically-shifting-goal-post scenarios where despite me being told a week or two ago that Net spend isn't a fair stat because gross is the true indicator of 'willingness to spend' (due to fund regenerated by sale - Liverpool/Suarez/Coutinho meaning Liverpool have allow net spend being the argument); the split second we trouser 100m quid and it optically works against us midway through the trf window, net spend magically becomes king again.
Exhausting.

Spence + £40m for Eze? 
He's stated before he sees himself as a CM and doesn't really want to play LB so where would he actually play at Newcastle? maybe he's accepted that he's a LB. Tbh from what i saw he didn't look ready for regular premier league football.
Give them Dier for free as well.Spence + £40m for Eze?
I don't believe that Monaco will do an acceptable bid.
FFS some posters here are seriously suggesting we should keep Sanchez.
Could be that potential CB transfer targets won't move until they know for certain where their place in the hierarchy is.
