No idea - I’m not an accountant just understand corporate finance. FFP has zero impact on Spurs under Levy, not worth worrying about - we could spend hundreds of millions and it still wouldn’t be an issue
I can't even reply to this it's so dumb.
French club wants Player. French journalists get info from French club.
How do you define ambition? Shall we spend £20m on a striker playing in Belgium and hope for the best?
No concern over FFP, or cash flow - our primary concern and rightly so from a finance POV is the balance sheet.
Agents fees and sundries may differ; but I wouldn't expect money to be saved unless they're under the same agent. As for the fees themselves........ Purchases = amortised over length of contract whereas; Sales = total fee attributed to that FFP year in full. Depending on motivations; that could play a part as to what kind of deal is preferable.
A similar realm of question...... I was wondering earlier how/when add-on payments (income & outgoing), sell-on %s and various other after-the-fact payment clauses get factored into both FFP periods (period or receipt/payment presumably? ....As trf fee or misc. revenue incomes?) and how often fans consider these elements of income when they ponder (see: fight about) net spends, investment etc...... They sure as fuck don't get factored in when people (myself included) reference sites like TFM.

I don’t think he is a punt, he is the real deal. Only very good WHU player.
The BeatlesAgreed....
Oh...
Great footballer, shit goalscorer
BentacurDon’t get your knickers in a twist, it’s not that time of the month is it?
Didn’t realise, what unfortunate initials
It’s not just the ACOF, what if Bissouma gets injured?
Can’t see a like for like replacement in the squad at the minute.
Maybe Poch will go to Saudi?
You brought the term into play; not me..... But for me, the starting point in attempting to be "ambitious" ought to mean reaching for a player of significantly higher quality, not paying inflated price-tags for 'make-do' options that don't categorically tick the boxes we need ticking.
If you think Vlahovic is a dead-cert that would significantly elevate this team and would be worth eg (70m+) then fair enough (I don't but that's subjectivity for you), but the other two come with their own flaws...... i.e. Neither are young. Watkins (first time I recall someone here saying they want him, FWIW) would require a massive over-payment to get him out of Villa and Toney can't even play til the season is half finished so doesn't even solve the so-called Richarlison problem.

Here are the facts of the situation.
-Tosin has been available as a CB option all summer, rumours of a doable fee from Fulham due to his contract status, not a starter there.
-Tosin has agreed personal terms with Monaco who sold their starting CB Disasi earlier in the window. French press have said they view him as a starting CB
-Instead of buying Tosin for a nominal fee we spent £40m on Van de Ven to start our first two PL matches
-Spurs don’t have Europe this year so very few opportunities outside the league games
I haven’t said a thing that’s incorrect. All I’ve said is that there may be a reason a player would like to go a place he can start rather than a place where the club has clearly indicated that they prefer other players over him in the starting position.He's going to an uber shit league effectively dropping down a division, you don't learn anything over there especially when you've already played in the PL
No we bought Van de Ven because we NEEDED him to ft our playstyle, it wasn't an either/or scenario that you're suggesting.
You must really enjoy being incorrect.
Rightio. But in terms of Spurs and where they're currently at, I struggle to see a more ambitious move than Toney or Watkins. If we make the CL next year then perhaps we can think bigger.
Either way, he needs to get the fuck outta Fulham while he can....... Rapidly looking like a sinking ship compared to their dark-horse form in the first half of last season.

I think our forward problems are bigger than Richarlison.
Son still looks way off. He had about 10-15 minutes where he seemed to get involved and hurt United, but then faded again. Got moved into the middle when Perisic came on and vanished so badly I actually thought he'd gone off too.
Kulu tried and tried and tried.....by repeatedly cutting in and shooting straight at the keeper.
The one time he went on the outside and used his right we scored from it.

That's because we struggle to find our striker at the moment, Richarlison had the same problem. I thought Son was pretty good, and Kulu was pretty much exactly what you described. I'd love for use to buy a new RW.
Probably because Fulham and his agent prefer to sell him to us
Except they’re not being quoted as saying Monaco wants Tosin. That much is already clear.
I doubt Tosin is going to wake up tomorrow and say ‘Oh I really wanted Spurs yesterday but I must want Monaco today because the French press say so.’
I doubt that Spurs are dropping out of the race based on reports they read in the French press.
