Haven't seen anything myself to say he's worth £40mil
Would rather get an experienced player
If he was good he would have played last night
We are not a kids charity send him back
Getting him without an obligation was a sharp bit of negotiating. He just hasn't lived up to the hype whatsoever.
We are probably down circa £30m by finishing 17th in PL rather than say 6th.
But our EL prize money is € 41m (£36m) and we've also had 8 home matches in EL plus a share of final gate money which net of player bonuses etc is probably worth £15m to Spurs, and there maybe bonuses in some of sponsorship contracts which pays us more. The Super Cup which we enter as a result of finishing EL is good for another £3m/£4m on top.
So we may well end up this season with an extra £20m cash profits, or even a little more.
Next season CL money will be a lot more, but depends how deep we go in competitions. This from Swiss Ramble showing teams prize money in February (ie not including final stages) shows the difference between EL and CL earnings.

Liverpool revenue is a good £100m more than Spurs.
Their squad is a lot better than ours so they can afford to pay big fees for say 2 players to improve their squad, but Spurs really want say 3 or 4 top players so will avoid the £150m player if we can get a £100m player (still huge sum).
We probably can but we aren't attracting these sort of players with the salary we pay.
A load of teams after him so surprised if we do it. Delap is basically buying young Gyokeres, for his £30m release clause he is the bargain of the summer.
Juventus are apparently one of many teams in for Gyökeres.
If we aren't in for Gyökeres as well I can see a scenario were Don Fabio reaches out and we can have a go at Vlahovic.
It’s a valid question
If that deal goes through, literally only the nation state of Qatar has ever paid more than that for a player.
And in the PSR era, that comes at a cost to other moves and perhaps sales to make it work.
We have the financial might to make a deal like that. Does that specific deal make sense for us to do? I mean, sure, maybe, Wirtz is a top player and still very young. But also maybe not.
Judge based on the overall spend, not one player.
That was the case in a season where we did not have European football. The prior season, with both clubs in the CL, it was just a 50M gap. We're in the same weight class financially.
If we get a legit 100m player then I’ll be shocked. No reason we couldn’t though
What's that list look like?
It's the television rights that add a huge amount to the coffers, from what the finance expert was saying on Sky, it adds around another £50-60M.
Take the CL prize money out of the equation, our win has added circa £100M to our finances.
Liverpool have been consistently in CL in recent years - Spurs are not
This year despite winning EL, Liverpool's revenues from CL this year will probably be 2 if not 3 times Spurs EL revenues ....... and overall Liverpool's revenues will be a lot higher than Spurs.
Over last say 5 years Liverpool average revenues are probably close to 100m more than Spurs ..... and even if its 50m over a 5 year period its 250m, which is why we still have catching up to do. And why Liverpool can sign the odd player for 150m which would not make sense for Spurs to do
Good question tbh
I’ve only been paying attention to the targets that were realistic before we won.
The tv money goes to uefa who then award prize money to the competing clubs - uefa do not have any other source of money to award prize money.
And this year due to our EL campaign and win UEFA have awarded Spurs 41m Euros (funded from TV monies paid to UEFA) whereas CL clubs might be getting 3 times or so more.
