We can't just force players to up sticks and potentially move to another part of the world...... They have to be in agreement.....
I defended Conte a lot but in hindsight he was a bit of a twat.
He himself wanted Richarlsion and Bissouma then came out with a statement saying we can't win if we are buying players from clubs that don't win.
imagine back in May telling us that Tottenham would only sign one CB this window and that all three of Dier Sanchez and Tanganga would stay
You might not be alone in knowing his tactics , I suspect there is about 200 club chairman who are also well aware of his MO
I have no doubt you're correct about the highlighted part and if it was only Ndombele then I'd perhaps agree (although any loan is better that a pay off cos we'd at least be re-couping some of that wage money from the other club)...... However, the partial point of that list is to put into tangible terms that the cost of ripping up contracts left, right and center will quickly add up.
Want rid of the lot?
That effectively costs 1 x Harry Kane and yet I'm pretty sure most people had that money ear-marked in their minds for new players.
If he goes on a scoring run, Barnes v Richy is never a question
Johnson and Tosin become even more likely HG buys?
Tottenham sign Ndombele from Lyon
2025 - so a 6 year contract
Tanguy Ndombele signs six-year Tottenham deal to seal £55m move
Tanguy Ndombele has signed a six-year contract at Tottenham after passing his medical to conclude his move from Lyonwww.theguardian.com
Happy days... we signed a top talent and broke our stupid wage structure
4 years later....
Big difference. Paying off a contract usually means paying a big lump sum.
Staying and being paid as per contract usually means monthly pay cheques, so its spread over 2 years
Well we've signed two so far...
Many chairman will do the same.
There's a reaon why Bayern and ManU also passed on paying the £40m demanded for Raya by Brentford.
Only drive he has is to make the last orders at McDonald’s drive through
This guy is my favorite poster
He doesn't deserve the pay off.
Not a good idea to pay off years of remaining contracts in full and then let the player choose their club AND have the money.
Future players in similar situations will see that and then be content to act the same way.
Better to just put him on gardening leave and he can choose between keeping the money or saving his career.

We really can't, no.
Because the manager doesn’t need them. He has a bloated squad as he has said & they have no chance of figuring in his plans.
Pay them off, or pay them to the end of the contract and keep them around the club stinking the place out?
I keep hearing them referred to as deadwood.
Deadwood needs to be cleared out.
I don’t care that them lot had political motives for shifting their deadwood.
They did it & with a big upturn in their fortunes.
It seems clear to me that Lego man was trusted and backed. The shit he wanted out was cleared out, & they have progressed rapidly. Morale is good there, deludedly so, but they are buying into whatever Arteta is peddling.
Differing opinions I guess, but it’s more than a coincidence that they got rid of their deadwood without too much trouble and their club has emerged from it considerably better.
