Yeah this is a massive failure in succession management. We really should have had Hugo's long term replacement identified at least a year ago.
Porro obligation to buy, reported €45m
Kulusevski obligation to buy, reported €35m
€80m / £71.1m / $85.9m
Danjuma option to buy, reported €25m
€105m / £93.2m / $112.7m
5 year deals; £19m per year. Generate that cash via player sales, adding no new fees to the annual autonomation figures, we could potentially spend north of £200m on top, without breaking an FFP sweat!

He’s quality - this would be a good move not least for his YouTube content
Doesn't make sense..... Bit pointless signing Forster if we're gonna drag someone out of retirement that hasn't even trained in 8 months.
Ndicka has been Frankfurt's worst CB lately, not a fan of his either right now. Maybe his head is elsewhere though
I don't want to upset any fans but with the exception of the Liz Truss government this is the most embarrassing organisation I've ever seen. I'd also probably ask for a transfer if I was Austin/whitman

None of the LCB we want are flawless but he had the least issues and is probably the most naturals a fit for the EPL.
Jose sa wolves?? Not home grown though
I read this as cover in case Forster can't go over the next 6-8 weeks. Gives us another option, along with Alfie Whiteman, as 3rd GK.
I would prefer an untrained Foster on the bench vs Whiteman. He looks shit in the warms up, cannon fodder
Yeah, on paper he is the perfect CCB (definitely would want him to play LCB), but just don't think he has the physicality to hack it in the EPL, he would get bullied too often.
Tiago Pinto (AS Roma sporting director) on Zaniolo: "Even I may think I should earn X money, but if I decide to leave Roma and I see that only Bournemouth and Galatasaray want me, you have to ask yourself some questions."
Self-confessed Spurs fan? Spends far too much time in that lot’s red shirt on his podcast for that…
To be fair, if you had 6 months left on your deal, were looking to leave on a free in the summer.. Would you be flying into tackles knowing one injury could cost you a year of football and no club willing to sign you.
However, on free agents... Tielemans and Ndicka on frees would be great business.
Two observations -
1) Did you guys notice that Zaniolo ended up going to Galatasaray for only 15 mil EUR? I guess we did not really want him then, did we? Money is peanuts, but ofc huge injury risk as well.
2) Whatever we do in the summer, we will need a senior HG players badly.
Let's face it - Sess and Tanganga are nowhere near good enough. Winksy is coming back but not on Spurs level really. Spence outlook is muddy. And we might be losing Kane as well.
How in that front we have got to this situation, I just cant understand. If I'd be selling a HG player and Spurs would come knocking, I'd know right away to top off the regular HG player premium of 30% with another 20% cause it is obvious Spurs is desperate to sign one...

To me it looks as if Zaniolo has gone to Turkey to get out of Roma and perhaps more specifically to say, Mourinho, at any cost. There is a E35m release clause in his contract which might make it easier in the summer for us, or other clubs to get him.
With the second point, I'm of the assumption Kane doesnt leave, and Sess, Tanganga, Winks hang around for another season. That or we take a hit on registering a full 25 man squad.
But yes, we need HG badly. One of which I believe will be solved by bringing in Raya or Pickford - We'll never get Oblak
