Fuck it eh, my fake yellow runs out next week.

Joke really

It’s a case is another team signs a good player and it’s Levys fault.
If we sign Piatek or Jose, they might be our new Berbatov, but do you think Levy will get praise?

No, it will be “where’s the DM, imagine if we signed one we could have finished..........”

Having said that, signing no one this week will be a disgrace.
We can’t only look at long term solutions, right now we need a quick fix, and paying over the odds is actually worth the risk.
One only needs to glance at the Willian Jose thread to see that he’s not costing £100m, so he’s going to be shit.

I, like you and Bill Madrid would love us to sign a top striker this week. But I can see how difficult it is to do so without having to offer up our arse. Hopefully we can get something over the line though.

Or just play Parrott. If he’s good enough he’s old enough.
 
But he wouldn’t just cost £50m, his release clause. Railoa would want maybe £20m to broker the deal, with another £10m to Haaland as a signing fee. And they’d then insist on a release clause of maybe £70m that would just be too much of a temptation to Real Madrid.

And he only signed for the, last week. He’s not going to leave this soon. He’s not Clive Allen.
Jose's release clause is 59 m, also would have to negotiate his image rights.
Haaland has resale value as well, while Jose does not.
 
TOTTENHAM have a number of potential Harry Kane replacements reportedly lined up.

Boss Jose Mourinho is said to have demanded Lyon's Moussa Dembele, but a move for either Krzysztof Piatek or Willian Jose currently appears the most likely option.

Meanwhile, Christian Eriksen is moving ever closer to the Tottenham exit door - while Spurs have rejoined the race for Kalidou Koulibaly.
 


Giroud wants out of Chelsea with concerns over his place at Euro 2020 – and could be set to earn plenty of minutes providing cover for the injured Harry Kane.

Ex-Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara told Sky Sports News: “I'm going to throw it out there, I wouldn't mind seeing Giroud at Tottenham.

“Tottenham are desperate and Tottenham need a striker, they need to get someone in for Harry Kane."

“They don't want to say it's going to be second fiddle to Harry Kane… Giroud will come in and he's a World Cup winner. He's going to give you, the way that we play, the style that we play, with Son, with Moura running off the flanks, I think Giroud would be a good fit."

Thank fuck O'hara isn't our manager.
 
Can people stop calling him Jose please, its annoying me more than it should. Jose is part of his first name, his surname is da Silva.

See also people who think the Spain coach's surname is Enrique, it isn't, it's Martínez. His first name is Luis Enrique.
 
Jose's release clause is 59 m, also would have to negotiate his image rights.
Haaland has resale value as well, while Jose does not.
Yes, but we or someone else, wont be paying anywhere near his release clause. And isn’t it third party ownership and not image rights? Looks to me, although I’m as far from expert as I can be, that this is a much easier transfer to make than Haaland.

Is paying around £20 million for a top 6 La Liga's team's highest goalscorer over the past three and a half years "offering up our arse", given the potential ROI in terms of European Cup football, not to mention trophy success?
 

I can’t believe this isn’t done, and that Eriksen is still here and will travel today.
For the first time in a long time regarding windows, Levy is doing my fucking head in.

A few people see Dele as our new striker.
I don’t, I see a farcical excuse to not replace Llorente and Janssen, for just 21M.
Even with perspective that’s relative peanuts when we want about the same for KWP.

One week left, so I’m not going to judge the window yet, but we need to get busy.
Not sure how many poor performances it needs to show what’s lacking.

If that’s the deal then no, it seems eminently doable. But we don’t know if that is the deal. A few posts ago it was £59m plus image rights.

None of us have the first clue who we are talking to and what about. Just feasting on scraps from idiots on twitter.
 
Bill Madrid Bill Madrid :

Do you rate this José lad or what?
Like I've said before, he's like a younger Llorente, very strong in the air, maybe a little more skillful. I think he'd be a decent patch.

As I said last night to someone saying that Dortmud needed to sign Halaand because all they had was Paco Alcacer, "a team with a Paco Alcacer needs to swiftly sign a Harry Kane and a team with a Harry Kane needs to swiftly sign a Paco Alcacer". I think WJ is a very good "Paco Alcacer" if you see what I mean, very decent cover.

There may well be better available, in which case I'd be delighted to see them come to Spurs. But if not, paying around £20 million for a 28-year-old, a top 6 La Liga's team's highest goalscorer over the past three and a half years, doesn't seem outrageous in the slightest.

And if the alternative is no one at all then a million times yes

No, £59 million (€70 million) is his cláusula de recisión, his buy out clause, of which 30% would go to another party. Image rights don't come into it.

Real Sociedad want €25 million, around £21 million at the current exchange rate. We're low-balling as per usual with an offer of £10 million. This is from the Basque press who have their finger very much on the pulse, not some self-harmer on Twitter sitting in soiled Y-fronts
