These things still tend to balance out.... Bigger signing bonuses, comparative length of contract, avoiding wage-potential depreciation through in-activity etc.

" Conte's departure has cooled #Tottenham's desire for Lenglet.", weird, people here told me Conte hated Lenglet and Levy forced Conte to take him.
I give him credit for bringing those players in but it's not some new model brought to the club, we've always looked to find bargains, it's just that most have not worked out, than worked out.
Ffs... Who are these pricks?
Conte left in March..... Any Lenglet links this summer have been a lazy non-story, but this is just utter dead food.
I never said he was.
I'm just musing on possibilities.
Everyone at the club knew Kane was off.
If we were seriously interested in getting another forward in we'd have them lined up ready to go.
The fact that all the rumours have died down and we haven't bid for anyone says a lot imo.
That and the fact that we don't appear to want to loan Scarlett out, and we've bought a highly rated youngster.
Just to be clear, we should sign another established forward, I just don't think we will.
Hope I'm wrong obviously.
" Conte's departure has cooled #Tottenham's desire for Lenglet.", weird, people here told me Conte hated Lenglet and Levy forced Conte to take him.
If levy gave him the option of lenglet loan or nobody, then yes
We didn’t have a separate budget for buy to loan development players before.
Paratici brought that pathway in.
Very little interest because we need to get rid of Sanchez and Tanganga first.
I’m not arsed enough to argue it passionately but Rice’s defensive numbers are exponentially better. In fact; nobody has better defensive numbers.
I would say Rice is the 2nd best defensive midfielder in the world, after Rodri. Woolwich fans already think he’s nailed on to be captain.
So why isn't he giving Ange the same option. Maybe because it's complete nonsense invented by a cadre of Conte nuthuggers who refused to admit he had really shaky talent ID.
I think we need to realize the club operates with a budget for 1st team transfers (that can have young players) and a buy to loan development pathway for younger talent (like Brighton operate).
Expecting Veliz or Scarlett to take a 1st spot this year is like expecting Phillips to be our 3rd CB.
Those players are on a different pathway.
I feel like they did have Orban lined up post Kane for the 1st team but now they are either undecided or stalling because they can’t shift any players out the door.
It's only been Udogie who has been loaned backed to the selling club, Conti decided that Sarr, Gil and Spence should go out on loan,
Maybe the story is just BS. Maybe Lenglet was forced on Conte but Lenglet liked Conte. Doesn't mean Conte wanted him or it was a 2 way affection." Conte's departure has cooled #Tottenham's desire for Lenglet.", weird, people here told me Conte hated Lenglet and Levy forced Conte to take him.
Lenglet strikes me as quite weak minded and wants to be somewhere he knows people.
The opposite to Kane really who just went to a club where he knows no one and doesn't speak a word of the lingo
You would know.
Im not sure Rice is a pure DM, he’s more of a Hojberg profile imo.
Better than Hojberg but not 60-70m better imo.
Rodri is kind of alone in terms of a pure DM. Almost plays CB at times.
It’s still a shithole.
You support Woolwich. Be gone
He’s a universe ahead of Hojbjerg. Not even comparable.
As an England fan I’ve never seen us have a defensive mid who makes me feel more comfortable.
