Spammer jokes aside. Was there anything more about Biss crying at training ?
Biss plus 15mil for Paqueta must surely be in the club's thinking?
Fingers crossed. Is this why he was seen crying in training? Because we want to send him to West ham.
Hopefully there's movement very soon. The media do tend to be a few days behind the curve so maybe they already offered amd we accepted.
I think Spam fans would hang Sullivan in the streets if he did that. Shame as Paqueta is arguably the most reasonable MGW alternativeLining up perfectly for a Biss +for Paqueta!
WE MAKE MORE MONEY THAN CHELSH!T AND YET!!!!!!
WHENEVER THEY WANT A PLAYERS, BOOM! GETS DONE WITHIN DAYS.
WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO DRAG DEALS, OVERTHINK THEM, TRY TO GET A BARGAIN WHEN WE FULLY KNOW WE NEED THAT PLAYER?!!!!!!!!
HOW DO THEY DO IT.
WHO EVER IS RUNNING THEIR RECRUITING AND CONTRACTING SHOULD BE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR CEO/OWNER/GM/SCOUT/FOOTBALL DIRECTOR.

Paqueta is such a good player …. If his charges are done …. It would be remiss not to go for him after what’s happened to madds
If we're gonna do that then speed the deal up:
Biss (£20m book value) + £20m cash = £40m (inc. Tottenham Tax)
Palhina = highest tackler in Premier League over two seasons.
Werner = prem tested but couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo.
Lenglet = La Liga cast off and untested in prem.
So not even remotely in the same category of punt!
True but I thought it was something like they can only register players in Europe that have been paid for by outgoing player sales? They've spent over 200mil and haven't brought in anything like that. I might be wrong but that's what i thought Uefa had ruled on them.
Amazing stats. But as you know well, someone with great stats can be an unimpressive footballer
I don’t think it’s crazy to suggest that people watch someone play before advocating for us to spend 70m.

Hadn’t heard that.
Tbh they’ll probably end the window selling Nkunku to Saudi for 100m.
Being sent to the Spammers would make anyone cry.
Levy: 'Xavi, it's Dan, Tottenham chairman. How would you like to play for me instead of Chelsea. I'll be happy to pay you mid table wages" ?
Simons 'Fuuck off you slimey twerp and don't bother me again. Got it"
Levy "Ok. Thanks anyway"

Even calling Palhinha a "punt" is disingenuous.......... He's prem proven and has a perfectly evident skillset.
The way I'm starting to think of the Boehly project is almost like a currency exchange rate play.
They essentially think of talented 18-22 yo footballers as an asset class that inflates faster than the broader market, and via the loan system PSR is really the only ceiling on how big of a portfolio they can create. It's an index fund of sorts.
Turning it into a football team is Enzo Maresca's problem. He knows and accepts the project.
It is absolutely not the most efficient way to turn all this money into points in the table. But that's not the point.
