I want us to use Skipp alongside Hojbjerg this season. Ndombele needs to go to a less intense league, but realistically that probably can't happen until next year, unless we loan him.

Other than the defense, and assuming Kane stays, I think we need someone to relieve the goals/assists burden from Son & Kane. I'd go for Matheus Pereira. He has got better and better - 11 goals & 6 assists last year in a poor West Brom, and takes a decent set piece. He'd be relatively low risk having proven himself in the prem.

With all due respect - £270m does not buy 6 or 7 World Class players.

maybe five? You can be World class and not be a £100m player

1. Romero = £47m, he's World class right?
2. Another defender for similar or less money (Kounde is around £50m)

I know Gil is a prospect but his package was around £30m, I can see similar deals being done, we need a mix of 'proven' and exciting prospects

I guess the point I was making is £270m really does mix up the squad

Fair enough. I was being a bit pedantic, in truth.

nice to have some insight but could it possibly be Premiership player registration and visa applications? It would make sense that versions of contracts are exchanged over a number of days/weeks.

I can't say for sure but I feel these issues are usually fast-tracked as the clubs submit them very late on and there's hardly any problem with it. I also assume footballers have some fast-track visa application process.

Now I don't deal in this (I do banking mainly), but from what I gathered most of the tug war is on installments and interests. Prudent clubs also use fresh injections of cash to re-finance ongoing payments and debt. Levy probably treats transfer fees more like loan facilities than straight out commercial payments, which probably makes negotiating with him vexing.
 
Think romero will be confirmed today. Hope hes a good signing for us. Have to say jan vertonghen has been my favourite defender at tottenham. One of the greats and toby. Want us to land traore from wolves and martinez from inter. Will be happy with that.

Don't think he'd be much of an upgrade on Dier tbh, if any. Better with the ball and a decent sweeper in a back three. So much of Wolves struggles last season stemmed from their CB's when they tried to play a back four. Couldn't play any kind of high line, had to keep two cm's deep for protection and kept tame possession as a result. He turns slowly, can't defend well 1v1 and doesn't contest headers very well. I think it would end up a terrible signing, not dissimilar to Doherty.

Totally agree. A system player who suits a back 5 well, but looked suspect as you say in a back 4. Unless Nuno is dead set on playing 5 at the back I would hard pass on Coady

The problem is Man City have not bid £160m they want Kane for £100m. They have told Kane that is what they are willing to pay for him. The fact is we cannot replace him for £100m. Spurs will end up on the losing end if we capitulate before last week of the window and City get desperate and then it is too late to sign replacement. But fuck Kane and Fuck City and there abhorrent owners I say keep him and play him in the under 23s. The fact is any City fan who supports their club do not care about the blood and oppression where the cash for the success came from.

Which is why I think he’d actually want to join us

He’s barely had a run of games for them, I think he’d be brilliant for us, however very much doubt we’re looking at him

He's barely had a run of games (cause he is absolute crook)... and you would want us to sign him.

Why? Just why?

Dembele represents most likely top 3 of miserably failed transfers considering money paid and his output.
He'd be around last player I would want to see in Spurs shirt ever.
