Insane to think we turned down a £9m bid for Sanchez and ended up not selling him. Could likely have signed somebody like Bella Kotchap for less than 25m.

Something wrong with that bloke's body mate....... Both BM & BVB pulled the plug on deals for him at the last minute.

I’ll probably get disagrees and accusations of tin foil hat etc but Ange absolutely got his Levy virginity taken.

The reason for another CB not coming in was because Dav or Dier needed to go.

There was interest knocked back for both. The obvious reason for that was financial from Levy. He didn’t like the difference between the value he was getting in for Dav and what he’d have to spend on a new CB.

Levy decided it was ok to leave Ange with Davinson instead.

If Dav had been sold; we'd have needed two more..... Said weeks ago but Dav is/was worth more to us staying for his last year than the mere €9m (£7.7m) on offer.

A new CB3 + Dav as CB4 would have been fine.... What we got isn't though.



Dier is just dead food..... The only vague significance of him is the remaining 4m quid in wages on the books... Forget about him.
 
You can't add up, can you?
VdV is a CB, so that's 1.
The Kane money was spent on....
£16m - Vicario
£40m - Maddison
£40m - VdV
£15m - Veliz
£3m - Philips
£45m - Johnson

Appreciate you haven't got enough fingers for this, so here goes...

£159,000,000 spent
Plus Porro fee £40m
Plus Kulu fee £25m

That's comfortably over £200m
We got (up to) £100m for Kane and £10m for Winks

So went spent the Kane money. And we spent the Winks money. And we spent about £100m more.

As is often the case with us, it's not how much we've spent, it's how we've spent it. Only time will tell tbh
We had £50m of the £150m capital injection, still to spend, it was widely calculated.

We have maybe £5m in loan fees (hopefully NDombele will add to this).

So, we finished 8th, sold our best player, and invested about £45m.

We, IMO, have very much NOT spent the Kane money.
 
Some people will still find a way :harrylol:

Had that prick on ignore since about 2 days after I found this place.
 
Levy already included the Kulu and Porro fees in the statement the board put out half way through last season stating we had spent 200m.
If they now try to include the Kulu and Porro money in any statement they put out for this window then they are plain and simply trying to con us.
What statement?
I've never seen a statement that shows individual player names for in or out
 
Today's squad tells me Dier, Lloris and Ndombele will not be registered this season. To have Phillips on the bench over Dier is a big clue.
Fucking glorious isn't it?
I wouldn't be surprised if Levy is currently screaming into a pillow, but if that's what it takes to make him realise his mates he's allowed to let us down year on year are shit, then so be it.
 
6/10.

Positives: Finally turned the page on Kane who had ZERO intention of being part of the next Tottenham Hotspur cycle, and as a bonus they got him out of the Prem. Constantly pandering to him by making moves to keep him happy was actually damaging the club overall. I will die on this hill.

Upgraded immediately in 3 (GK, LCB, no.10) starting positions, possibly 4 (LW). Not many teams can honestly do that.

You forgot VDV. 👍
 
you fucking guys make me howl. I wish I could apply this logic to buying a car on hire-purchase.

What’s that Mr bank manager, I’ve overspent? No you see, I’ve had that car on hire for the past two years, so the £15,000 I just spent doesn’t count, I already own the car, so I CAN afford the waffle iron.

We just spent c.£210million on transfers. That’s a fact.
Gross spend doesnt mean shit. Hey look guys we just spend 200m we’re going to win the league!! (But lets not talk about selling our best ever player and all time top goalscorer for 100m)

It doesnt show the full context and pretending otherwise just shows an agenda.
 
Munn was never meant to be that guy as far as I can tell...... Recruitment not his field.

I don't think Dav has never been particularly keen to leave..... We were told earlier in the summer that he's particularly happy living in London.
You shouldn't have to point things out so often.
Not enough Spurs fans follow the right people and read the right publications to get the information needed.

Months from now the club will be blamed because we turned down bids for Sanchez and Dier from clubs... At no point did either player want to leave making the bids rather moot.
 

Rennes:


Nothing about us refusing a bid from Forest here:


Or here:



That's all I got when I googled "forest davinson sanchez trf fee".......

What google you got?
