I read somewhere Brandt €25m clause will only be active next summer if they miss out on CL qualification this season.

You knew it inside of you that Levy gonna start the bidding at 15m.
Jesus christ.Zaha to Spurs for £65m
Jesus christ.
Could get Douglas Costa for half that who is twice the player.
Leon Bailey another one to spend that money on.
Douglas Costa would be 40m tops and makes Zaha look like Lewis Holtby.I don't fully disagree.
But my post specifically set a scenario where we pay £35m for him.
We're not getting either of the players you're talking about for £35m. I equally don't think we see those figure for Jansen or Onomah unless it's to cover a deal like that.
Even then, £65m is a huge amount for the players you've brought up. Neither have done enough to warrant that fee for me.

Zaha has done very little to warrant that fee too.
We can make up the HG quote elsewhere with the likes of Sess.Fair play then fella if Costa is available for that fee then I can see why you'd see that as the better option.
I think you're right but I'd be happy with either given that Zaha has been improving consistently in the Prem.
Actually we'll just have to agree to disagree. I think given the choice at the same total cost after fee and wages I'd take Zaha.
He's already terrified every single defence in the league and that's when he's double and triple marked. Let them try do that to him when that leaves space for Kane , Ali, Son Moura and Eriksen if he stays.
He also counts as homegrown which is a huge factor in his price and his importance in our transfer structure
£65,000,000 for Zaha when for an extra £10,000,000 you can literally sign Brandt, Diawara and Berge.

If we're looking to spend 65 on a player, its should be the best we possibly can irrespective of nationality/HG status. Zaha isn't that for me.
About 10 players I'd take first.
No thank you.Get Zaha in before Chelski can.
Yep, that was reported here at the time. I remember posting it on a Facebook group and everyone said the Spanish press were making it up.I read some quotes from Griezmanns book where he says that in 2014 whilst he was at Sociedad he had a release clause of 30 mill euros and Spurs came in with an offer of 25 mill euros. A bit more time passed and A Madrid came and paid the 30 mill release clause. Snooze and you lose
