Liverpool paid £40-45m for Jota who hadn't even scored 10 goals in a season (16 goals and 6 assists in 67 games for Wolves). In a better team he scored 15 goals last season. £60m is probably too much for Richarlison but if the figure is anywhere between £45m-55m for a prem proven player who can play across the FW3 then for me it's a no brainer.

Richarlison averages 11-12 goals per season at Everton. If he shows similar improvement to Jota in a better team (50%) and adds 16-18 for us in the league, that is a massive difference to where we've been at with Bergy/Lucas. It's not about adding the best player in the world or someone who's "happy to sit on the bench", it's about adding those extra few goals that takes us to the next level.

I know this is not the debate here...
But honest question - would you currently trade Salah with Kulu with all other aspects (basically salary / salary expectations) being the same as they are now?

I mean righ now Salah output and influence is bigger for sure. But at the same time, he has just few number of years to go and he will drop off at the same time as Son and Kane while Kulu could go on for us for 10 years...

If you wanna go for the league and CL yes

Sorry got to disagree. Gvardiol for me is a game changer. His signing puts us in the big league. Richarleson - not as good as Kane, Son or Kulu. Sterling behind Son. Raphinha - no better than Moura. Bastoni about as good as Davis. Hakimi the same. All good additions to rotate I'm sure. But Gvardiol really makes a statement. He is really an improvement.

Wanted to push disagree, but now I am 99% sure this is sarcasm.

20 yo rookie for world record fee to be a game changer for us.
While top 3 RWB in the world would be rotation option. Like thoroughly EPL proven attacker Sterling.

Well sarcas..ted :D

Okay, fair.

But what will we do in 3 years time?
Berg off, Moura also close to 30.
Harry, Son and Salah as well...

Live in the moment mate, not what might happen in 3 years, Kane could retire and go and play American Football in 2 years time, who knows.

But when you have a chance to build your team like the way your scenario presented then you have to take it.

Anyway hypotheticals and all that...

The last supposed game changer we signed who it was claimed would put us firmly in the big league and was the statement of all statement signings was a certain :tanguythumb:

Beware the hype :tanguyhuh:

We won’t get salad so it’s pointless. But you cannot go all in and not worry about the future or you will end up like Everton

Yeah signing a certified world class player who will more or less take you to trophies means you're going to change your recruitment strategy and waste it on a load of average players then eventually fighting relegation...

I mean what...o_O

Mate, Levy has been fucking developing this club for twenty odd years!

When do we shit or get off the pot?

I fucking hate fans of this club who still see us as a club/team under development when all that was needed was a manager like Conte to come in and tell Levy to put on his big boy pants and start being a football chairman and not a chairman of a fucking bank.

Rant over....

I would argue that it was the new stadium finally in full swing and generating revenue that allowed Levy to get an elite manager that he would be happy and able to back. Knowing Conte's demands, he would have never been approached 3-4 years ago (assuming we didn't have Poch).

If you had observed your breath you would have noticed that's how the breath functions biologically in certain situations. In any "tense" situation (be it Spurs about to score or concede a goal, or a scary situation) a person will automatically hold his/her breath in....and then "breathe a sigh for relief" by breathing in....

Ummm...ur having me on now ain't ya?

You breathe in when you sigh?!

So you take a deep breath and hold it and then when you breath a sigh of relief... you breath in again?

If people want us to pay 80m for a 20 yr old defender with 1 good season in the top flight we might as well just pay 100m for De Ligt who is only 2 years older and has multiple seasons in the top flight at a high level. I would be way more excited for that signing

I do agree that Gvardiol could be a game-changer. But he's yet to prove himself as an outstanding CB even in the Bundesliga. Yes, he had a good last season but he's not ranked as their best CB - yet. And remember, he's not that good in the air and his positional sense is lacking. For £60m+add-ons I'd be ready to sign him. Hakimi is one of - if not the - best RB/RWB around, and could certainly be a game-changer down the right flank for Spurs. Maybe even more of a game-changer than Gvardiol. And certainly a huge upgrade on Spurs' present RWB or any of the RWB Spurs have been linked with. Hakimi is time-tested - in La Liga and Seri A. But he's said he want to remain at PSG and have absolutely no need of selling him right now.
