Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Vanderson would have been 30-40m and we’d still have to do a separate deal to sell Rodon.
Fuck knows what a #6 would have cost.
25m from this summers budget, 2 positions covered and HG quota improved.
I'll delete one of the above when i see how he turns out !
What a bargain aye

All jokes aside great signings, back to getting the best Championship youngsters
Have you thought of going into Politics?...I'll delete one of the above when i see how he turns out !
Never seen him play but watched highlight videos (which we know can make anyone look good). That said I think it’s a shrewd signing. At worst he’s back up for Porro and Bissouma, at best he is our first choice DM. Looks to be comfortable on the ball, can beat a press, head up and positive, looks to go forward, and a good tackler. Being home grown, young and shifting deadwood in Rodon means it could be a great signing. Bring in Eze next Baldy.
This. Plus also any fee we receive for Emerson (and Spence?) should go into same bracket as Rodon sale. Which can mean exchanging 3 obsolete players into Gray without any net expenditure.
I do like deals that get done quickly - 48 hours ago it seemed very likely that the possibility of us signing him had gone, so its gone from 'no chance' to done bar the signing in about 24 hours.
After last season’s cup showings Imhope we take them more seriously so more first choice players starting.
and I’d advise Gold to go somewhere else,He was well advised to go to Brentford
........said your missus..
Well i hope he's super man.......
and hopefully Paratici 8s watching the Italian market for us.
Archie Gray to Spurs transfer done with deal including player heading to Leeds

It's believed that Brentford had initially offered over his release clause to get a deal done quickly and he was even set to undergo a medical.
But it was shot down over issues with the payment structure.
Leeds academy product Gray had been offered a contract worth £75,000-a-week, an attractive package for the 18-year-old.
Bit of detail in here.

Daniel Levy is understood to have agreed to United’s payment terms and should pocket the Whites a guaranteed £40m, although the breakdown of instalments is unclear. It is understood Brentford and Spurs had each activated that clause, though only the latter met United’s demands on structure
The old Levy classic of unachieveable add ons strikes again!
Leeds United and Tottenham progressing in talks on deals for Gray and Rodon
Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur look set to conclude separate transfer deals involving Archie Gray and Joe Rodon going in opposite directions this week

On the contrary; seemingly it wasn't us proposing unreasonable terms.

Maybe.
But I think the real deal clincher for Leeds will have been the opportunity to sign Rodon permanently as he was a real rock in their defence last season - and for only £10m which is probably a bargain as he's good enough for lower PL so covers them on promotion and probably 'worth' anything up to £20m to them so its a hidden upside of £5m+.
With Rodon back at Leeds it means they've only lost one member (Gray) of a very good side, and have got £25m to spend which could buy two or more good players in Championship.
So I think the deal is a 'win' for both clubs !
