I cannot believe some of you are turning your nose up at Van Hecke because "he might block Vuskovics path". Did we watch the same team last season? We need quality all over the pitch. You all probably had the same concerns about Gray, Bergvall, Odobert, Tel pathways being blocked and look how that turned out for us.

We need to manage young talent like Vuskovic better than we did with those players because we made a mess of the time they've been here over the last 2 years.

Of all the young players we have had over the years very few had this potential. I very rarely am this certain a player will be great before he cements his place in the team. I did not rate Kane at first but I did see it in Bale right from the start. Vuskovic will be a star in the PL but not for us if we do not keep him but send him on loan. Just look at the top clubs on the Continent interested. He is already a full International. Why should we trust another club to develop him when we have a good coach. He will make mistakes at first but ' To Dare is to Do' Spend the £70m + elsewhere.

We have now officially opened discussions regarding a deal for Adam Wharton. A deal we tried to do last summer and made further moves last January, he’s a long standing target.

Crystal Palace’s valuation is understood to be around £85 million slightly higher than our initial expectations but we are prepared to push the deal aggressively and are willing to exceed our original expectations on fee.

The club views the addition of a top-class deep-lying playmaker as a crucial part of this summer’s rebuild, and there is a strong belief internally that there are very few Premier League-proven midfielders who can match Wharton’s passing range, composure and ability to dictate the tempo of a game - he would be game changing.

Savinho and Van Hecke being worked upon and hope to be done before the weekend closes, Senesi and Robertson all but announced.Spurs are serious this summer!

Im going early but F*ck it.

Id be very happy to start the season with....

--------------Kinsky--------------
Porro--Hecke--VDV----Udogie
----------Baleba--Scott---------
-Kang------Mads--------Savio
-------------Jackson------------

No Europe and RDZ in charge that team from where we are would represent and great turn around IMO.

Of coarse people will always want more and better but Rome wasn't built in a day and I think that team gets top 4. Also have a pretty decent bench too.

Silly season is upon us!

No, I haven't suggested that at all. You haven't read carefully enough.

What I've suggested is Robertson is able to command a fee (whether it's paid up-front or added to wages or split between the two). The reason is that Robertson is a substitute, an alternative, for players who are under contract. The key issue is what he brings vs the total cost of "ownership". Once he signs he is also under contract and would command a transfer fee should he leave (this being the flipside of his out-of-contract fee on signing/paid through wages).

So to repeat my earlier point, a player like Robertson is not "free" as some on this thread are assuming. We pay effectively a transfer fee to Robertson via the above mechanism.

It makes perfect economic sense, and what's more, happens.

Ah well then I did misunderstood apparently.

But in the technical side of things, I believe that salaries and transfer fees are actually treated differently I think?
Meaning that higher salaries are preferred to higher transfer fees. At least for the clubs like us where the ratio between salary-costs and revenue is as low as it is.

In terms of total ownership cost - true, often the difference is smaller than the media outlets headlines let you do believe.
I mean some idiots still believe that Haaland cost 60 mil for ManCity. For him all the other aspects (massive signing fee, massive agent fee, massive salaries) obviously have made him 3x as expensive as noted :) .
 
The following point might’ve been posed already but as much as I do rate Van Hecke l would rather we integrate young Vusković and spend that Van Hecke money on an audacious bid for Bruno Guimaraẽs or Adam Wharton - Bruno in particular is a player who would completely transform our midfield.

With Danso and Vusko I just don’t see rcb as an immediate priority.
 
I don't care how much, or how little a player costs, as long as we're getting decent players that fit what the manager wants
The signs are good so far, in what we're being closely linked to at least.

Wouldn't mind some more solid rumours about a striker though, as well as some bodies leaving.

I’m told that if Spurs are unable to secure their desired fee for Cristian Romero this summer, the club would be very open to exploring what would effectively be a ‘part-exchange’ arrangement, provided the interested club can offer a player who fits Tottenham’s recruitment criteria.Such a structure could, in theory, widen the pool of potential suitors for Romero, with Spurs prepared to consider player-plus-cash proposals rather than insisting on a straight cash sale. Spurs mean business this window!
