Well we don't know how good he will be playing for us,,the fee is low enough where if doesn't work out we won't lose much at all and if does work out he's a great buy. Could be the difference between getting CL and not getting CL football.

Fee isn’t the problem.
He will get wages for us that nobody else will give him. So we’d have a player on board for 4 years that we couldn’t shift if he didn’t work out. And if we can’t shift him, you can’t replace him.
Newcastle urged to look at 'better option' Lloris in January transfer window

I'm not suggesting we pay him high wages, Sarr is only getting 10k a week.
We signed Richarlison in 2022
If the money is there it will be spent
Mr Levy, here's the roadmap:
Don't you dare tell me it's not doable in the space of a month and that we don't have the finances. I accomplished it all within 4 days on Football Manager.
- Brassier for £10mil
- Tosin for £10mil...or free swap with Dier (who gets to stay in the PL, in London and start every week for a decent team)
- Rabiot for Hojbjerg + 25 mil + one of my kidneys
- Olise for Skipp + Gil + 25 mil
- Jack Clarke for Parrott + Scarlett + 10 mil
- Solanke for 50 mil + Veliz on loan for 18 months

Richarlison was just a bizarre signing that I honestly don’t think any Spurs fan could offer any universally accepted logical reason as to why we decided to spend 60 million on him.

My hope is that £60m is the upper limit of his fee, and one that's unlikely to be achievable. Regardless, very bizarre that this is our record signing.
For someone so suppoesdly meticulous, and stingy, when he does spend big it often seems like an impulse buy without a lot of forethought or due diligence.
Levy : it’s not my fault Ange didn’t specify this January , I’m not a mind reader
Chaps, you laugh...and I thank you for that!...but the first two on that list should be bread & butter for us. Getting them two boys first thing in Jan should be zero trouble for a club like Spurs, with or without incl big Eric in the Tosin deal.
If we wanted to bring the kid Jack home, same...I don't see how much trouble that'd be to us.
Obviously the Rabiot one ain't that easy, though he's out of contract in the summer, has always dreamt of playing in the PL, would be an immediate star(ter) here, would get bigger wages...and we know Juve likes the Hoj. Still, to me, it's the exact kind of player/deal a club of our stature should be going after. Sign Rabiot and see how City, the dippers & the cunts from down the road shit themselves.
The Palace lad & Solanke would defo be keen to join us and play for Ange, I mean that's obvious. Surely they know they wouldn't start week in week out for City/Pool/Woolwich...but of course they can offer wages we can't. But the romantic in me thinks there are still players who'd rather play regularly. As with Rabiot, though to an lesser extent, them two boys would be statement signings and a threat to our competitors.
But yeah, I know I'm in dreamland and it's far more likely we sign Shane Duffy + Jonny Howson...on loan.
Yeh by selling, hopefully Paratici can sniff a deal if Barella is an option.

They have to fall eventually, as the article says, they've been loading up debt to keep the lights on. Selling Onana and Brozovic bought them a lot time, and they'll have to sell again to keep it up.
Dumfries, Lautaro, Barella, DiMarco, Bastoni...reckon they'll all go in the summer.
Might be forced to also let Thuram & Pavard leave, depending how bad the situation is and how much they can bring in from above sales.
Getting rid of the old guard like Acerbi, De Vrij, Henrikh, Hakan...that's not gonna be enough.

No real surprise - but he won't be available during January and likely much of early Feb
With the CB injury crisis as bad as it is, you would think that, we might bring in someone quite quickly.
I'm the great Cock
Or, alternatively, they all saw the warning signs and let us over pay for a turd.
Or, alternatively, Greedy saw it as yet another way to manipulate the fans into falling inline. (and even the coach)
Dybala was un-signable, like many other players, due to third party ownersip. Funny how we've missed out on so many players over the ENIC era because of that. Funny how the club always seem surrsised that this issue can't be overcome at the 11th hour of the window, too.
Throw in the fact we hadn't bought anyone at all for 2 windows and had a new stadium to occupy. AND a coach who was showing signs of fatigue with it all. IE, the excuses were running out for Greedy.
Squads should be turned over regularly, in small increments, at every available opportunity. But we ran one into the ground and it needed almost an entire replacement in 1 go. And we're still feeling that now.
And I bet, in some weird way, he's properly fucking happy about that.
