Does seem like it's heading that way like with Devine.

We’re mad not to test West Ham for Paqueta, I’m almost certain we could get him with a part exchange with Bissouma and maybe £30m.
He still rinsed it nicely and milked us along with MGW and Eze
Very true mate
Romero, Sarr, Van Der Ven are all post 2015, although we are yet to see if the latter 2 are in that highest echelon.
We need to recognise the issue is we don't get it right often enough as opposed to get it wrong all the time.
And we can't say some of our newer potential won't be realised.
For now we need to hear some good news today.

Fair enough then fill your boots and sell up to some fucker who can.
I hope we dont go buying anybody thats just going to clog up squad places and we will struggle to sell in a year or 2. I think frank is smarter then that and his comments this window has kinda backed that up.
At the same time there's very few options that tick the boxes. A 10 is a must even if we plan to play some games with sarr or bergvall at 10 to be more solid.
Lw is also a big big worry. If kudus gets injured we are fooked. And if we dont upgrade lw then teams will just shut down the rw space knowing there's very little threat from the other side.
Let's face it, whoever we sign now is going to be over priced. Teams know we are desperate and most of the top young players we are looking at will be expensive because of there potential.
Just to give an idea...
Como want 60m euros for paz, thats 52m pounds. Most because he is seen as future star no10. Hes not completely ready now but hes only 20 and a similar player to maddison in style, more robust but much better than maddison was at 20. Expensive and needs time.
City want 65m pounds for savinho i think? If you think thats expensive thats actually a better deal that the 52m for paz right now and he would have a much bigger impact. I know alot of people are shitting on the quality of savio but I think otherwise. Creativity, chaos, paired with kudus and absolute nightmate for teams to defend wide areas. Only 1 goal last season but played by pep in a completely different way to what suits him and hes already proven in the past he knows where the goal is. Future world star imo.
Akliouche. Monaco want around 50m. This is a difficult one, and the riskiest too. Hes mainly played rw but also plays 10. Hes 23 and although looks a good player I just dont see a player with high ceiling and traits that translate well to the pl. Hes fairly one paced and although a big frame hes not particularly strong. Good passer though. Expensive and risky.
I think most of the others mentioned are absolutely not good enough. Dibling would well and truly cement the joke of missing outdone eze. Fofana is still very raw and not much of an upgrade on odobert right now, leao unlikely to be an option liked by frank imo.
Rogers is the very very best option. Even at 80m-85m would represent the best value and certainty for the money. He essentially is plug and play for us, young, English and room to improve but hes an absolute powerhouse of a player. Would be a dream signing.

Ugly man. Miserable looking little bastard he really is
Pretty stupid if they did as its cost 10m more. And Arse just aren’t about wasting money.
It’s been a thing for a while, maybe you’re starting to show your age Billy
Last season I decided I would no longer spend a penny on Spurs until Levy is out or he spends what our rivals spend (wages and purchases). For a week or two I thought I’d have start going again, but it’s turned out ok!
Rubbish. They don’t create that risk
So true. Insane not to pay £68m for Eze Other clubs are ganging up and having a laugh at him now.
If made up words is the future, I want no part of it!It’s been a thing for a while, maybe you’re starting to show your age Billy
He is like Saka the limp is fake
BREAKING
There is interest internally at Spurs in Lamine Yamal. It's thought that a deal would be very difficult, but Spurs may test Barcelona with a bid and could reach out to his advisors first. A developing situation.
This ITK lark is a cinch
I’d like to say hypothetically speaking, but with spurs it’s probably a reality.
Would people prefer:
I’m at the stage where I genuinely don’t know. We seem to be quite good at doing option 1, and are subsequently unable to move them on.
Would people prefer:
- We sign players that don’t fit the squad/ aren’t good enough, not talking about young punts, or;
- We don’t sign anyone.
