And of course the payment plan. Everton probably happy to take a 5 year structured deal. Other clubs maybe not so happy.

And just how do you know that?
I'd be pretty happy with that. Reduced the age of the squad, largely sorted the homegrown issue and a fairly flexible, energetic squad. If we could bin the bulk of Lloris, Perisic, Rodon, Tanganga, Reggie, Lo Celso and Ndombele so much the better.
If he's good enough for the international european champions of the world of Europe, hes good enough for us
It's been rumored for a while now. Both Spurs writers and your "ITK" guys like POK and Bannister have both mentioned it a few times.
i like Gallagher
of Mancunian or Chelsea fame ?
True. Although the desire to play proper football is declining these days. £££ is becoming more important to many.
Yeah he is a higher level than turkey!
Liam or Noel?
Basic maths. Four less home games (c.12M), no CL money (50M and no CL broadcasting (30M). Slow clap
I guess Sanchez is stupid enough to go to Russia. I just hope the club isn't stupid enough till negotiate with them.
They aren't my ITK guys...
For the right money I'd take the risk
Has Lengelt signed for us?
EDIT: also what excuse - you made out like we have been shopping bargain basement for years and it has never worked out for us.
I gave multiple examples of inexpensive players that we have purchased that have all been fan favourites and played to a level WELL beyond their price tag.
I also gave some examples of expensive signings that did not work out.
SO your notion about the rinse and repeat of us only ever going for failed cheaper buys is nonsense. In fact, us going for more reasonably priced players in defence has served us better than not over the last 10 years.
You can simply admit you're not being very nuanced with your assessment instead of trying to move the goalposts.
TO be more nuanced myself about Lenglet..... as far as I am seeing we arent currently bidding for or looking to bring him in.
Despite that, I don't feel like he is as bad as is being made out and could likely do much better for us in Ange's system than Contes.
Did you watch him much for Barca?
Here are some comparison stats for Tapsoba vs Lenglet (Barca) vs Lenglet (Spurs) - the stats are per 90 mins
A good look at the differences of a ball playing defender in a possession team versus a Conte team. Pretty remarkable how Conte’s system makes players worse.
I do as well but it is slughtly odd that VDV price is touted at around that figure (probably a little less) yet we can't seem to get that one done.
It's like we are reluctant to spend big (well bigish) on a centre back.
With that money I'd buy a CB.
