Yes but we are nowhere close to Liverpool on the way we structure wages.
They can sign players that we can’t because of our wage structure and hard ceilings on total transfer cost.
I would say Nunez and Szoboszlai are the only players they have bought in recent seasons whos fee and wages might be outside our current scope.
Please list specifically the players they have purchased and the exact structure of wages and total 'transfer cost' you are referring to?
Diaz is apparently on £55k a week. £55k not £155k
Nunes £140k
Mac Allister £150k
So some are well within our wages and some are at the higher end of what we pay, but we do pay it.
I don't see how we can't compete financially with Liverpool.
Unless you buy Levy's shit.
He played in the shit club you mentioned and was shit

That has been widely reported, but I also find it very hard to believe.

Starring for Porto at age 25 with multiple rich PL clubs bidding for him and a transfer fee approaching 50M, if he signed a five year deal for 55kpw he has the worst agent on the planet.
I agree with thisReally? On the Extra Inch Pod, Windy seems to think we're better off selling Phillips sooner than later.
Same i think vuskovic has the higher ceiling of the two
They just bought Wirtz for 100+ mil and 200k+ pwI would say Nunez and Szoboszlai are the only players they have bought in recent seasons whos fee and wages might be outside our current scope.

He wasn't on that when they signed him. In 2017 he was on £120kExcept 400k a week for Salah, who, without, let's be very very clear, they would not have won the league last year
Basically summed him up in a nutshell. Zeroes in on something and then argues fucking relentlessly.Richard Arlison is just lost inside an argument he doesnt know how to get out of.
100%. Good player, but a massive twat. He'll go to Manure or Goons.They want to get rid of him don’t they. He’s their transfer budget for the summer. I wouldn’t go anywhere near him.

Just for the record, Mbeumo's Cameroon and Wissa's DR Congo both qualified for AFCON but Kudus and Semenyo's Ghana and Yankuba Minteh's Gambia did not.So these are games when we might be losing players to Afcon :
9-10/12/25 Champions League matchday six
13/12/25 Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham 3pm
15/12/25 Carabao Cup fifth round
20/12/25 Tottenham vs Liverpool 3pm
27/12/25 Crystal Palace vs Tottenham 3pm
30/12/25 Brentford vs Tottenham 8pm
03/01/26 Tottenham vs Sunderland 3pm
07/01/26 Bournemouth vs Tottenham 8pm
10/01/26 FA Cup third round
12/01/26 Carabao Cup semi-final first leg
17/01/26 Tottenham vs West Ham 3pm
20-21/01/26 Champions League matchday seven (first games after afcon finals)
So we might be losing the Afcon players for a DOZEN games !
