Your tears. They are delicious
So flog him in the summer for just 6 million invested if he's not the best thing since sliced bread. Guess I can get behind the deal structure in that case. We'll only end up paying 30m if he ends up being worth it. Otherwise he's cheap cover.According to this report, the deal structure for Sissoko means we'll only pay the full amount if he stays for the full 5 years.
Tottenham's Sissoko outlay may end up less than £30 million, suggests report
Reminder that they lost, to Portugal

Sorry for doubting you Levy. You've simultaneously impressed the "speculate to accumulate crowd" such as Carlito Brigante , while also running a tight ship that pleases the rest of us.
Doesn't mean much, Kane/Alli/Dier/Rose/Walker lost to Iceland.Reminder that they lost, to Portugal
Well that sucks.Doesn't work like that, Spurs owe £30m whichever way it works, it's just if we sell him before 5 years the money can come out of the transfer fee we sell him for. So if we sell him after 1 year, we would need to sell him for £24m and the entire fee would go to Newcastle.
The journo who wrote the Standard article has come out and clarified his comment which was misleading
Does anyone think Benetiz wanted him to go?He's a good player, we should just get behind him.the fee was big but this year is mental. Villa spaffed £15m on a striker who had one half decent season at Bristol city ffs. This guys was probably France's best player at the euros.
Poch is a much much better manager than McLaren, Carver and Pardew, he'll get him playing to his potential.
Coming up next, John McGinn for 40 million.For the life of me, I still don't understand why so many supporters are caught up in the Sissoko transfer fee. If you didn't rate him fine, I get that but it's like so many are accountants on here telling the club how to spend their money. It's not your fucking money!
Surely the club has an amount of money each season they are willing to spend on transfers, whether they hit that amount or not it doesn't affect the supporters. The club is making a boatload of money and the only tangible way the supporters reap the benefits is by getting new players to help us on the pitch.
Like I said when the day comes when the club gives each supporter money back for what they didn't spend on a transfer not going through is when I will give a fuck about what they pay to bring in a player.
Now fucking get behind Sissoko he's now one of us Jesus christ
You're obsession with incest continues.
Makes one wonder....
First of all, when you net it all out it was a good window.
There are 3 things that just look like mistakes, 2 of them things we did and 1 thing we didn't do.
1. Selling Ryan Mason when we have so many games of different kinds to play, from League Cup to Champions League. He could easily have started 15 games and done a good job in them if he had stayed.
2. The fee for Sissoko is just ridiculous for the player he is and where our squad is at. He is not going to be a first team starter ahead of any out of Dembele, Dier and Wanyama. So he is looking at League and FA cup games and minutes off the bench here and there. Within 3 months he will be bitching and looking for a move.
3. The thing we didn't do ... bring in someone who can challenge Eriksen. That is where the Sissoko money (fee and wages, which are probably stupid) should have gone.

Think the timing and execution of Sissoko's signing, probably eclipsed the rest of our business. Paying £30 mill when some people were on the pitch, is horrifically un-Levy -like.
The argument is well documented about value for money etc. but I really don't like the pre badge kissing of his opening statement. If you did want a big club, CL football, the opportunity to grow etc. etc. why wait until the eleventh hour of the last day.
Anyone wanting all that, that badly, would have been all over his Agent's daily, eight o' clock, Day one.
Yes, he is a talent, and he will probably become a fan's favourite, but spare us the 'Coming Home' saccharine. As Harry Callaghan once said, " Don't piss down my neck, and tell me it's raining."
