That's some really shortsighted logic.... We'd still be forking out the quaivalent of 50m on the bloke.

......As far as cash money goes, we'd be better off to just accept 15m than overpay to 'obtain' 20m in lieu of Spence.
My whole thing is we need to shift the deadwood. If Forest actually want Spence then there’s a deal to be done. I don’t really care where they go just need them off the books.
 
Bayern are in the mud.

They threw everything at this.

Look like mugs now.

We just used them for the marketing power of being able to say no to one of the biggest clubs in the world.

I think don't that comes into it.... We already showed we could do that vs City 2 years ago.

We also didn't budge when the rest of the world was trying to sell Poch's team (and Poch) himself every trf window.

As has been said before; EPL teams can afford to say "no" these days if they want to.

Still a massive gamble from Levy. €100m loan fee plus wages for 1 year on Kane, basically.

Risk is everywhere.... Ndombele was a risk......... Meanwhile Richarlison wasn't percieved to be particularly risky 12 months ago (hence we paid a high evaluation)............ Players (in this context; assets) risk career ending injury every time they put their boots on.

Top 5 = CL next season (so 40m min. depending on further progress in group stages)
+ an ACTUAL trophy (Fuck the prize money aspect of that one either way!).
+ a few extra million per each EPL finishing position.
+ a roll of the dice that he signs a new deal cos he's finally won something and feels we can do more.

I'd take that right now if you offered it to me.

I'd suggest you might be underestimating CL money as the extra matches gives us both ticket money plus food and drink (and even food and drink will be £1m+ per match).

Additionally a number of sponsors give extra money for CL appearances - but I'm not sure anyone has the knowledge outside Spurs to estimate what that is.

Plus we might pick up additional sponsor/commercial income that we wouldn't otherwise get.
 
Yes you do when you include stadium revenue for home games alongside TV and CL from UEFA
The TV is part of the CL payment and is dependent upon the club's UEFA coefficient (ours will be shit in 24/25 because the CL final year has rolled off).

We'll definitely make money on the CL I we qualified, but it'll be closer to the £50-60M range including matchday receipts (net from each match after factoring in costs isn't as high as you think).

Especially so because we'd be replacing Kane not with £100M fee, but with whatever transfer funds ENIC provide (which we already know won't be £100M). We'll not be getting beyond the group stage, in all likelihood.
 
stolen from sc...

From Prof on COYS about 15 minutes before the bid being rejected hitting the news. The shorter contract is what I reckon will happen and suggested it a few weeks ago as the best move for everyone.

A mixture of info from Gawain and a new source.

We have put two contract options in front of Harry and his reps.
A long term incentive laden contract to remove the uncertainty for us and for him. Barring significant injury he’d break Shearer’s record and pretty much retire as a Spurs player.
A mid-range contract with buyout clause that would put us in a similar position next summer as we are this summer. This option would give us at least another year of Harry, and give him time to decide whether he’s buying in to our future under Ange, as well as setting a minimum sale price.

No idea if he’ll negotiate a bit and then sign one of them, sign neither and leave on a free next summer, or be sold before this window closes. DL wants a decision asap so Spurs know how much they’ll have to spend and which positions they’ll need to focus on for the remainder of the window.

This week provides much for both HK and DL to ponder.
 
Get rid of Gil in a deal to get this guy???

Nah.
hmmmm

I don't think Johnson is that good and think we can get better but what exactly has Gil done with us? the guy puts in 1 decent cross and some go on like he's the second coming of Messi.

Johnson productivity wise is on another planet. He has unbelievable pace and his finishing is Insanely good.

I would prefer a player with better dribbling and someone that can carry the ball rather then run into spaces to be targeted but comparing Johnson to Gil is laughable.
