Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
It's no secret that Vinicius was a Mourinho pick back in early summer, big strong player good finisher and last season he added assists to his repertoire as well. Spurs made an approach at the start of the window and a figure of 50m was floating around, way to much for us, now with Benfica crashing out of CL qualifying they need to balance the books - cue Levy time - my guess is we will not be paying anywhere near 50m
The deal will be a one year loan for XXm with that money then being deducted from any agreed buying price, which is rumoured at 36m, that works for both clubs as Benfica can depreciate him on their books this season whilst Spurs are paying his wages then accept a lower buying price next season to minimise tax. It's a pretty standard accountancy trick for loan to buy agreements.
Is he any good? well Mourinho talked him up back in May when he was linked to Utd and I think Liverpool, so if he's Mourinho's first choice I'll support that. Let's hope the deal is done and there's no late bids from one of our rivals, that's happened before .................

Who knows? Completely different players, with different strengths, from different leagues. Seems the coach wanted him, though, which is important.
Genuinely starting to get a buzz now about this team and probably more importantly squad we are assembling. If this goes through just the centre back to complete the jigsaw for this season. We’ll have to see how they perform befire we can say it’s been a great window, but you’d think we’ve finally made some massive strides and Liverpool aside, we should be right back in the mix
i missed by 5 millions.
i honestly hope Tottenham doesnt go for him... if it does... hope they dont pay more then 15M for him or else you could go for depay
What is the deal with all these Vicious children?
Every purchase is a risk, you can never be sure what you will get. This is no different but hopefully he will turn out to be brilliant and at the end of the day he is a striker and how long have been crying out for another striker?! Excellent news if this gets across the line, with our squad being so much better balanced than at the start of the window.
If this cunt is a machine and we don't sell anyone decent, then we have an excellent squad.
Reggie has been a great signing and Mourinho's getting the best out of most of the lads with the notable exception of Dele.
Hojberg is a dirty lump in the middle of the park but that's ok. Doherty seems like a reliable and powerful cunt. And we might have some champagne back at the clubhouse when Bale gets going. Add in this Vinicius cat and we're looking good for strength and depth.

We have Kane
We haven't had a backup striker in what...two years soon?
Option to buy.
Carlos Vinicius 2019/2020 - scout report

" Even as a pitbull on the ball as he is, the fierce character of Carlos doesn’t back down when defending. The Brazilian is an intense presser off the ball and greatly contributes to the defensive side of Benfica’s game."
I guess there will be moaners whomever we got in, but I know I'm very excited. It'll be nice to bring on a defensive minded striker so that Kane can either be rested or at least subbed so he doesn't have to play 90 mins every week. Even if we are playing a team like Newcastle who park the bus it will be great to bring off a defender for another striking option. Kane was dead on his feet midway through the second half and Southgate clearly doesn't give a flying fuck.
We need a striker. It is nearly always a gamble and at the moment, I don't really care who it is*
*Not Troy Deeney pls.
Portuguese news channel, say its non mandatory buying clause. they will receive 3M now. and thats it.
Vinicius will do a medical tomorrow
A goal or assist every 127 mins he plays...... that will do. For comparison Kane got a goal or assist every 129 mins last season.
6 of those 16 games, he played 6 mins or less.Hmm I hadn't checked that out. 2 goals in 16 games doesn't sound too good.
Almost 26 with only one good season in a weaker league - seems risky for 40m. Hope it's not an obligation to buy.
looks promising
