Diplomacy??
No interest in Wanyama according to the Standard, who say his summer move to Belgium broke down over money. Looks like we are stuck with him and he will be the one that is chopped from the squad list.

Wooooaaaaahhh back the fuck up buddy. That's a massive fucking leap you're making. 100% man that's me. All man. A mans man. Women love me men wanna be me. I can eat 4 yes fucker 4 shredded wheat. Not even a whiff of homosexuality anywhere near me.This is how you know sexuality is constructed and not biological, rugby banter and tradition is the best reason to believe human beings / men are prone to 'swing'.
Hope I cleared that up.....tad much maybe??
Even though he's not at full speed yet, I feel he has grown a lot since his uneasy debut months and shown he could be vital for us in the medium long run
What did he say about cavani, semedo, cancelo, piatek, umtiti, fernandes, ake, lemar and ze luis?
The loan fee is something we won't be getting back so in theory it's Lo Celso for £27m- £30m now or us looking to find something of equal quality to that figure. Absolute no brainer for me he should become a Spurs player.
The point is why sign players if they are not of sufficient standard.
The idea of signing a player who is not up to it on a 5 year contract at say £60k pw (£3m pa) and then deciding he's not good enough to play so we pay off his remaining contract - lets say 4 years @ £3m pa or £12m is just laughable, plus don't recover the initial transfer fee of say £30m. So total loss on one poor standard player is £42m.
How many of those can any club afford ?
That's why its apparent that you posted without engaging brain.
The motto is only buy if the player is of sufficient quality - otherwise it bites you in the arse later. How difficult is that for people to understand ?

When you buy a house. Do you buy an expensive bed and eat on the floor? Or do u fill it with cheap stuff and gradually buy better?
Not quite.
Foyth has been here for 2 years so qualifies under CL rules to be an u21 this season (as he will be under PL rules).
Next season though he'll be classed as an overseas trained player under both PL and CL rules as he cannot fit in the required 3 years before the age of 21.
So do we believe in Foyth long term (=loan) or do we not think he'll be a top player (=sell, maybe) as otherwise he occupies another valuable overseas trained player place in the squad
If you have a reasonable amount of cash (which we do) we buy selectively to avoid throwing money away next year.
If you go down the route you suggest in your personal life plenty of personal financial advisors to help you out.
The way he plays between the lines he reminds a bit of David or Bernardo Silva. Needs to as you say adapt more but he looks proper talented.
My point is you have to compromise somewhere. You never get everything you want. Unless you have a couple hundred million. Which we dont. Thats life.
Although in our instance we were moving house and already had some furniture. And we had a decent sized bank account.
I like these quotes.
