This was always going to happen after we refinanced the stadium debt last summer, I will admit I am surprised it is occurring in the middle of a pandemic where our £1b asset basically can't generate any revenue.
Yeah that’s what I said above.
Perhaps Levy has finally learnt to let his hair down and finally have some fun.
EDIT: actually, he has no hair, so what the fuck is going on??!!
People acting like Levy didn't spend a lot last summer is amusing, but we didn't spend anything the previous summer in 2018, so it balanced out.
I said at the beginning of the window that Levy could spend around £50m net without much issue and if these rumors are true that is where we are going to end up.
Ya I saw that after I posted but I can't be arsed to read everything in a thread before I insert my witty comments.
Who cares??!
I don’t know man, but it’s just so uncomfortable, you know what I mean??
It’s like wearing Y fronts for 15 years and wearing boxers for the first time - like shit’s all dangling loose and it’s just not right, you know?
I’m just so used to austerity I can’t deal with all this carefree spending shit.
Agreed - what we paid for Sanchez essentially
There were rumours that Poch did have funds available, but he chose not to spend, as he didn't feel he could improve on the players we had. Don't know how much of that is true, but the money could have been used to strengthen the squad.
well, if Man City can get away with it....... just need to get their lawyers on a retainer!Tottenham/Levy breaching FFP would top 2020 off as the weirdest year in history.
That may be so, but a couple of things come to mind.
What costs are we saving in order to fund these extra(?) wages? Of the players we are thinking will go, are we going to be better or worse off on a weekly basis? If Foyth goes does Reggie get paid less than him? If Aurier goes does Doherty earn less than him? What Alderweireld earns is neither here nor there. Hs cost was here last term, and is a constant this season too.
Also, with no end in sight of the restrictions on crowds, as has been said, a pretty substantial revenue stream has had the tap turned off indefinitely with not being able to use the stadium. So this continued level of spending (equal to last year) is still, to me at least, somewhat surprising.
Maybe Uncle Joe has sold a yacht?
Why would Inter take a 31 y.o. CB on (likely) twice the wages of a 25 y.o. CB?
Conte is a big fan and probably suits there back 3 more then skrinier. Serie a is slower paced too. I would take it. Toby has one more good season left imo and how much would we get for him say next year. Doesn't mess up hq too.
I don’t know how good this Skrinier is at distribution, but if we sell Toby, we have no one to pass it forward from the back.
