So what do you suggest? You have a player that just wants to pick up his salary for two years and not go anywhere. What do you do?

Sell, loan or pay him off to whatever extent he'll agree to (and yes that would include what you've been talking about IF - big if - possible)....... But, there is no magic 4th option.
 

Tottenham reconsider Paratici striker target​

According to transfer journalist Ben Jacobs, David ‘cannot be ruled out’ as Tottenham’s next striker signing. But, he could be an expensive addition.

“Jonathan David remains a really interesting one. If we are talking about fees, that’s a very high fee, somewhere in the region of 60 to 65 million Euros (£50-55m) but it could come down because David is keen on the move,” Jacobs told Last Word on Spurs.

“This is an interesting one because the only name if Kane left under Paratici that Tottenham were really seriously exploring when they first got wind, probably around March or April, that the Kane situation might be changing against them.”

“The only name that they put forward to begin with was Jonathan David, but that was under Paratici and under Conte or interims, now again Postecoglou is going to have his say.

“I know some other Premier League clubs have looked at Jonathan David and they are not so sure about whether or not he’ll be a fit for Premier League football.

“The stats suggest he will but the reality is can he do it at a different pace and level? That’s what I’m most intrigued to see but I certainly wouldn’t rule out David.”

What did Fabrizio Romano say about Tottenham Hotspur and Jonathan David?

Romano insisted that Spurs have been keeping tabs on the 23-year-old for a while now, though his transfer could fail to materialise due to Lille's lofty asking price.

The transfer expert claims that a fee in the region of €60m (£51m) would be enough to snare his services this summer, while a potential deal may also hinge on whether his current employers can find a worthy successor in time.

Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “Jonathan David is a player they’ve been tracking for a long time, but it’s a complicated one because of the price. I’m hearing that Lille want something around €60m. They started from €65m but that now could be around €60m to sell Jonathan David, but also, they would need a replacement. So, in this case, timing is crucial, and it’s not going to be an easy one.”

These big Portuguese clubs seem to have a smart system of signing promising prospects to contracts with high but attainable release clauses and then basically refusing to bargain below the release clause any time one of the megarich ESL-types comes knocking.

The suitors can afford the price if they really want the player and both sides know it.

The magic component is still signing the right players in the first place.....

Can people please stop posting that absolute waste of time Ben Jacobs. Honestly he’s fucking terrible.
 
Plenty of words of wisdom from Trix and Hercules today by all accounts, something might happen, but it also might not 🤣
How sad a life must they lead to crave such attention, sad state of affairs.

Now where is our centre half Danial?
