Tel out in loan? No way
Has anyone told Levy that our bid has been accepted and he has to follow through with this now? 
Let's bloody hope so , though I don't think my old ticker can take too much excitement in one day !
Going to be fun watching Kudus and Simons terrify the fuck out of defenders 1 on 1.
Peanuts then!
Madness, but relieved that we seem to have sealed the bloke's signature.
We need 1 or 2 more. That simple.
Aw bless, look at us still talking about this in the future tense...?
Force of habit, I guess!

I confess I have not seen much of Simons but when I have seen him in the odd game he has never stood out or struck me as top draw player. Granted, I have probably seen games when he's been below par but I do worry he has had a few clubs now and still only 22. What sort of player is he? Modric, De Bruyne, Kaka, Foden.
Maybe 'cos MGW & Eze didn't wanna come to Tottenham??

I'm struggling to zero in on what puts him ahead of MGW and Eze who for me are players I could see moving the dial for us.
The most similar 10 in the pl would be cunha.
Silky ball carrier, rocket of a shot, audacious skill and driving runs.
Ideally someone who can play both LB/LCB. Romero _can_ play there (because he’s world class) but someone more naturally comfortable there would be preferable. And Spence has overall been fantastic on the left but there are still moments, especially when we’re playing out from the back against the press, where his right-footedness is a hindrance (his first and often only option is to turn inside instead of playing a ball down the line, etc.). So again, think it makes more sense to target a natural left-footer. Seen Ake’s name floated, think he’d do in a pinch.
I guess it's probably the minimum going rate for someone that's already been to Barca and PSG
The only caution we may need is his willingness to up and leave clubs.
Left Barca academy. Left PSG for PSV, dropped them quite quickly for RBL.
What if he does really well at Spurs for a couple of years? Will we have a fight to hold on to him?
Obviously they didn't want to come and fuck both of them but I could see how they would move the dial for us... just saying I don't know much about Simons other than the few times I have seen him play...
Well, it's seems Ange did the right thing to sacrifice trying to finish top 6, and go in all for Europa. Turned Spurs back into a club that means business, and showed the board that Spurs can do better than just 'top 4'.
A rather kind Champions league draw and, no single dominant team in the EPL. I fancy Spurs to win both.

Still insane to me.
He needs to demonstrate he is worth the crazy outlay
What if this was not just a petty statement from Levy and this is now the aim of the club, the thing is why should this be such a crazy statement, Spurs are a fucking massive Club , look at the trophy parade for the EL, there is no doubt in my mind that we are one of the biggest clubs in Europe and finally it looks like we are going to start acting like it.....
If someone stumps up 120m for him in 2 years that's fine. It's the nature of the beast.
