“Levy keeping deadwood around on purpose so he doesnt have to spend makes zero sense to me.“
You clearly don’t hate Levy enough

The other link though to Ekrem Konur, who claims to be a “Global Transfer Expert” and has 237000 followers and the story is top of his feed
If Ekerem Konur says that then we definitely haven't agreed to personal terms yet. That man is one of the shittiest sources in the business.
If Tanguy is off the books, it opens a space in the squad.
The pressure would be on Levy to really spend and get a good player.
We just sold Harry Kane. The fans want to see his ambition.
If he can hide behind the need for players to leave first, he's under less pressure to show that ambition until the space in the squad opens up.
Then, based on previous years, miraculously the deadline passes and his failed transfers are still here and no new players have come in.
Viktor Orban incoming....wait a minute...have I got the wrong end of the stick?
He would play off the right wing. far right wing, proper touchline hugger.
Gift is a striker.
We still have about 34 first team players atm - so getting rid of one is just a start.
And given Ndombele has not been part of a named Spurs squad for about 2 years, getting rid of him does not free up a squad place
I'm honestly just laser focused on fumigating the place of all the losers and guys not fit to play modern football. I want the club to be looking forward, we can worry about spending for quality in the future.
Lloris, Dier, Ndombele, Hojbjerg. Out out out!
I agree, we need way more than Tanguy fucked off.
Yeh maybe you’re right
Leicester better be (interested) in Castagne, since he's their own player
Enzo Maresca: "Mr. Chairman, I would like to have a new full-back."
Chairman:" Our scouts are on the job -and they just recommend Timothy Castagne..."

Goons dumping Tierney, Holding, Pepe and Tavares.
I think it’s a bit the other way round actually, nothing wrong with Sanches’ application, just not talented enough for teams like Bayern or PSG. I doubt he’d have got near those clubs if Mendes wasn’t his mofo.
Just sell this fcuking clown.
WTF is the point in "paying players off"
Do none of you have a clue how that works?
I'll put it in the simplest of terms.
Let's use Ndombelly.
Give him £20m and don't have a player.
Give him £20m over the remainder of his contract and loan him out. Have a player. A player who may attract a small offer to sign him and take those wages off your hands. You could even just pay his salary until his contract runs out on the usual terms (monthly likely) and tell him he's not in our plans. He could either take that as a challenge to get off his arse, or find a new club.
The point is, it makes absolutely no sense to give a player money to go away. Not least because they could subsequently sign for another club the next day and double their income.
Big clubs, all of them, simply leave the players they don't want out of their squad. They're still on the payroll, but they're nowhere near the first team. Shy of massive breach of contract issues, what clubs have effectively terminated a contract?

Surely then it’s ended!
I thought he was from Togo? I thought his name was not very Togolese!
Lived there, maybe his mum might be Togolese but as his name sounds, Gift is very Nigerian...
That's fine but don't stop rebuilding the squad because you still have that player on your books.
None of us really care what happens with these players as long as the club really goes hard at building this squad.
The very reason why Spurs got him was exactly his reputation for being lazy. The big clubs stayed away - knowing they could get him later if he's indeed had changed. He didn't. So I would blame Spurs' scouting system for not doing a good enough job on him.
Leon Bailey and Renato Sanches are two other examples of some very talented player who Real Madrid were after but their attitude problems have failed them.
Levy is paying Dier 80k per week.
A replacement 5th choice CB would cost a fraction of that.
Anyone who thinks Levy is overpaying deadwood to keep out cheaper alternatives is a fucking moron.
I think he was playing for a club in Togo and has a Togolese mother but lived in Nigeria. Come to think of it that’s basically Adebayor but backwards (he was Nigerian but lived in Togo)
Togo and Nigeria are very close anyways, not bordering due to Benin in the middle but only a couple hundred kms apart.
