We will probably never sign a player as good as Bergvall for 10m again in our lifetimes.
Tel has champions league and Bundesliga goals under his belt already at 19. We can negotiate down a bit but it’s never going down to 10m for a player like that.

Some very nice goals, but this was vs Slovakia U21. Not seen much at all in the PL games and that MOTD clip of him getting overtaken by Bentancur raises an awful lot of questions about desire and mentality.
Is Tel much of an upgrade on Moore or Odobert as a LW?? He's certainly not better than Son. Don't see a reason to sign him for that role.
He has proven he can't play CF in our system and is probablly now behind Scarlett for game time there.
The only place he could fit potentially is RW. Needs to play there and light the world up to fork out the £50m in my view.

We signed dele for £5m who was easily a better more effective player. Bergval has done well but let’s see before getting too excited
Ben Davies scored too... as did Scarlett for England Yoot...
Romero and Bentancur both played 90 minutes...
Not to mention a fair few others getting minutes for their Countries...
It SHOULD bode well for them all when they return... but when did our players playing well during the International break ever seem to benefit US at Domestic level??
take what hope i can get for Frankfurt. Especially Romero getting sharp
Matt Doherty scored as well
Troy Parrott didn't thoughMatt Doherty scored as well
Matt Doherty scored as well
We can't even get Vertonghen in on a short term deal any more...Troy Parrott didn't though
Now that he's in the Antwerp Sunset Retirement Home!!!!
I can't believe we wanted to fork out £50m for him.
Bayern know what they are doing
Bayern know what they are doing
100% - Levy and Ange also had their trousers pulled down for a half season 10M loan fee - Bayern do indeed know what they are doing.
He looked real sharp gifting Cunha a goal yesterday...
yep he better he do that shit for argentina than for us at frankfurt, hence needing to get sharp. was a very typical romero thing to do when he's not on it
he's rarely on it... would only need one hand to count his good games for us...
well he's better what we can currently put out highlighted by the team dropping off a cliff against fulham when he was subbed.
so lets hope he's on it come Frankfurt
Is there an injury to his right arm? I noticed he's always on bandaged there.
He had an injury when he was younger and now he can’t play without the bandage. Sort of a lucky charm. A few players have done it. Suarez, I think.
I was actually thinking if this is the case!
We've signed Bergvall, Sarr, Udogie, Vuskovic for the 10-12m range and all will likely be at a minimum 35m+ players ultimately.
The value is there if you are willing to take punts on young talents from foreign leagues. Clearly that has been a major strategy at Spurs for the last few years. So I disagree that we won't find another Bergvall.
That said, when buying English or from a top club (Bayern in Tel's case) you will pay a premium.
The closest one I can think of right now is Bale from Soton, but even that was a lot more than the fee for Bergvall. Would have to be a special situation with a contract expiring so the fee is reduced or minimal. I'd say it will happen again in our lifetimes, but prob such a nice setup will not come about for a few more years, at least.
One nice thing is that showing evidence of ability to develop youth a la Dortmund could help us increase our recruitment in this way.
