Thanks for correcting my source. I think he might barely get 3* though.

Trippier was also bought for £3.5mil
Lol why is this a 5 star system in which only 3 settings are possible?
I'd say from those listed
5 star: Sonny, VDV
4 star: Romero, Maddison, Porro, Trippier (also a wrong purchase price)
3 star: Solanke, Johnson, Lamela, Chadli
2 star: Richy, Sanchez, Sissoko, Bergwijn
1 star: Lo Celso, Gil, Reguilon
0 star: Ndombele, Soldado, Sessegnon
I'd rather eat broken glass than watch Wet Spam play if Spurs weren't involved.
Why do their fans want him gone so much?
I like this. Will come back to it.
But Kudus imo is much more talented than both Semenyo and Bakayoko. I don't see the harm in adding to our attack with a technically gifted winger, and the club should have enough money to also go out and buy another CM.
Why don’t you like him out of interest? Nothing I’ve seen gives me cause for concern but I’m happy to hear alternative views.
Spot on. He’s 24 though, plenty of room for growth and you have to think the shit season the Spammers have had has to impacted him.
This is a top talent.
Richy is 100% a 1 star and closer to a 0 star than he is a 2 star.
Richy has been a decent-ish contributor when fit for three years, has a place in the squad going forward if he's determined to have one, and has frequently been the subject of bids for real money from elsewhere.
No way he belongs in the 1-star bucket (those guys were rapidly unwelcome in worse teams than this one) and 0 is absurd.
Kinda the same story for all four 2-star guys. Try-hard squad players we paid star money to acquire for no apparent reason.
A 20 year old from the japanese league, Levy's done it again.287 pages of rumors and fantasy talk. We all know what's going to happen with Levy and this is what we're going to end up with.
A seasoned over the hill PL vet
A young prospect from the championship
A 18 year old kid from the latvian league
I don't hate Kudus, he's extremely good at the dribble bit. Not convinced by the actual productivity bit, and as I said, Semenyo is really good without the ball.
Yeah. Good mate has worked at Telegraph sport for years. So, it's not anything from inside the club - just what it being discussed by all the football journalists.
USA's relative flop for ticket sales at the club world club will see them throw money at global stars. The biggest Asian footballer on the planet would be a no brainer and a sound investment. Playing in the MLS would allow Son to have a lite schedule and be fully fit for the world cup - which brings all those lovely Korea fans $$$$.
I love it when people throw this line out like it's somehow a trump card..
I'm not part of Spurs transfer/scouting team. I don't know how much money we have, who is leaving how Frank wants to set up or what he feels he needs.
I also don't know who is available as I don't circulate in the world of chairmen and agents.
Me telling you who I want would just be an exercise in wish listing.
All I can tell you is what I've already told you. Kudos fell off a cliff last year. His stats are concerning and when West Ham fans want rid you should probably take that as a sign.
We would be gambling and we can do better
"How clever is Levy, really"?
So Levy is now the manager, chief scout, Chairman and bottle washer?
He supplies the funding and agrees the contracts.
The recruitment since Lange and Paratici arrived has been light years compared to "i hate the January transfer window" Hitchen.
Not sure we can really give Romero and VDV 5*. They have barely played 40% of games - and their constant injuries fucked us over. Porro has played almost every minute and been a stand out player - yet just 3*?
Out of that lot, I'd actually say Son, Porro and Sissoko were the stand outs. Sissoko wasn't pretty, but he put in a good shift and was part of the squad that was key to getting us to a champions league final.
MLS is notoriously hard on fitness-challenged players (I wouldn't call Son that tbf) because the travel and weather is so brutal, and the all-time record transfer fee paid by an MLS club is 16M pounds.
Are we accepting a bid that low for Sonny? Why not just let him play out his deal at that kind of price?
Saudi would allow all parties to save their blushes here, and also has the virtue of a shorter flight to Seoul than all other options.
Our recruitment still sucks. We have a really bang average squad which we can expect to finish top 8 but no higher.
