Not sure why we didn’t go for some of the players we had been previously linked with seeing how much they cost:
- Ings for 30 million pounds was a steal imo. But seeing our squad now, I guess Paratici wanted someone younger.
- Sabitzer just went to Bayern for 15 million euro which is a bargain. Less than what we initially offered for Tomiyasu.
- Kim Min Jae went to Fenerbahce for 3 million euro and is already regarded as one of the league’s top defenders. Wouldn’t mind him later if he proves there.
- Not sure if we were officially linked with Boateng before. He was free, but I guess his age just didn’t meet Paratici’s requirements.

We needed either Adama or Rapinha
He signed Hart.
He presumably gave Toby's new contract the thumbs up.
He also added to the issue by signing Doherty.
......But yes; the refresh is welcome.
They sold 21 players with a total amount of £110m received. Leaving them in profit.
We spent out on Gil, Sarr and Royal to the tune of around £60m
Our total outgoings were around £30m leaving us in the red.
Its a good point until you consider Jose sanctioned the contract extension on Alderweireld.
That reporting is wrong, it’s an obligation. At least according to both Fabrizio Romano and Alasdair Gold.For the
No, we have an option.
Tottenham sign defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta
Tottenham have signed the Argentina defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta on loan with an option for a €55m dealwww.theguardian.com
I've said it and linked to the story with every single major news outlet previously.
Option, not obligation.
What I do believe is that Atalanta can't stop us making it permanent and the intention of option over obligation is to send him back if he had a serious injury.
Gollini is the only one with an option.
Rules are very poorly publicised, but my understanding is there is a 'domestic' transfer window allowing loans from PL to EFL clubs, which might be open until 6 October.
I think you may well be right because we have a lot of academy guys who need loans and if the deadline was yesterday deals would surely have been done by then.
Unless Nuno is gonna play loads of kids in the ECL??
I agree about the football and it is a good point. Makes you feel like throwing him under the bus to distract from the ESL was almost unfair. Unless it was all his idea and the only reason he would come was if we were going to be 'London Spurs' and buy him a new squad every season...
:tanguyhuh:
I read that as the deal is fixed. IE price, contract the lot.
So many cried for Jose to leave. Conte turned us down cause he saw the shitshow approaching. Now we left with Jose 2.0 and pretty much the same players.
It's the third coach with these players. Each one of them started brilliantly. Two of them hit a wall, because there was no reasonable backup for what got us to the top in the first place.
Third time Lucky? I wouldn't bet my money on it. We started off, 'Just Leicester to beat, this league is ours'. Then, 'We making Top 4, Yes, we'll be playing in the Champions League. Now it's, 'We have a Good chance of winning the Conference League."

Hoping Nuno refrains from using as many of the remaining deadwood players as possible. Can drop one of the 2 CB donkies in favour of Romero. No need to use Winks. Aurier gone. No need to use Doherty.
Thanks everyone. This table is pretty much what I was looking for (10 players in, 15 out):
Premier League - Transfer income and expenditures
This statistic shows, which clubs of the Premier League in the season 22/23 had the highest transfer expenditures and/or transfer incomes.www.transfermarkt.co.uk
...and this one, that puts names to our numbers:
Tottenham Hotspur - Transfers 21/22
Transfers: Overview of all signed and sold players of club Tottenham for the current season.
It's nice to see an overview of who's left and who's arrived, all in one (or two) places.
I still think Romero's 50m should be included in that figure in real terms - as all we've done is delayed the payment - and most purchases by all clubs are paid in instalments anyway. The point being we've effectively committed to purchase the guy this summer. That would give us an 80m net spend.
I guess it will show up in next summer's figures, so will even itself out. but in reality it's a purchase commitment made this summer.
Sabitzer was heavily linked with Spurs before transfer window and eartly weeks, but once Bayern showed an interest player only had eyes for Bayern - mind you they had problems in finding money and creating space in their squad, so it was only in last few days of window the deal went through.
Spurs ideally would definitely have liked someone youger and less injury prone (historically) than Ings - but equally Ings was not to keen to sit on the nbench to watch Kane playing. So not sure how likely that deal ever was.
I get the feeling Everton are in trouble based on their signings this summer.
4 x free transfers and a £1.8m signing.
Best guess is £50m on Siggy and Richarlson, James etc has raised a few questions with FFP
Why aren't you reading ALL the words....???
Romano's tweet is contradictory.... Presumably bad English.
Gold's claims both clubs say different things.
Conclusion = It's not clear if it an option or an obligation.
Even if it does turn out to be an option that can only be a good thing so just forget about it and move on, FFS.
