Not sure why it is so unrealistic.

Savinho has played 1 season in Serie A, and was then a bit part player for City. With such a small amount of experience, he's unlikely to be the main main at any of the big clubs - so if he wants to play and be the focal point, Spurs would be a good fit.

Eze is 27 years old and plays for Palace. If this is his 'prime', its underwheliming. He's never played in Europe; and never played with a full schedule where fixtures come every 3 or 4 days. His goal assist stats are underwhelming for a 'creative' player. 40m is probably a fair price, and if it creeps over 50m, I'd suggest its clear why clubs are looking at younger alternatives.

Few bits.
Savinho has never played in Serie A he played mainly in Spain before signing for city. He played 29 times in PL last season so he was more than a "bit part player".

The main point which I think you've missed is that 24 years of ENIC/Levy should be enough to show spurs fans that we will not sign Kudus, Eze and Savinho for a combined c180m+ in a summer window. People who are getting their hopes up for it will likely be the most vocal & angry on here at 7pm on 1st September. Just don't understand why some fans would set themselves up for such disappointment.
Hopefully I'm wrong but 24 years of experience tells me I won't be unfortunately

Nah im not getting sucked in, seems way too far fetched, almost too perfect to happen.

Savio im fairly confident on. City will sell, he will be no1 in his position here and levy and co are in a tight spot and the optics would look horrific if they missed again after mgw. Also pep tends to freeze players out once there's any sign of a slight drop in commitment. I think that deal gets done.

Eze oozes spurs also and I think we have wanted him for years. I don't buy it when people say hes not what we need and I think all this ball Carrier rather than a passer is abit of a myth. He can pass more than well enough, great ball retention, can drop the opposition like a concrete block and has a lovely passing on him, especially those low fizzed ones into the path of runners. In and around the opposition box having kudus, eze and savio is just a dream trio to have. How far behind the best in the league is that? Not much if any imo.

Just seems too perfect, coupled with the fact we have odobert, Tel, johnson and Richie to keep happy.

I hope im wrong, let's see.

If you type Eberechi Eze into Google, all the news stories have him pretty much nailed on to go to Woolwich ..... There's a couple that mention we're trying to 'hijack' the deal but they still r ckon he's going to Woolwich.


Savhino the results are more encouraging, but plenty claim Pep doesn't want him to go and will try and block the move.


All going a bit Tottenham.

This is one of my biggest issue with this ownership assuming we get Eze. He’d assumingely be more expensive than MGW so why did we waste time this whole time if we had the funds. Does it really take injuries for this ownership to spend? Why didn’t we go for Eze earlier in the summer? If he were to come in now he’d need some time integrating. Mourinho wasn’t kidding when he said Levy prioritizes top 4 finishes over cups.

Lol I posted the same, and trust me I'm not the first and you are not the last, and there will always be many justifications and reasonings people can come up with. But honestly all don't make sense. And then our club doesn't follow common sense either. They always hope they will clinch some amazing deals towards the end, even if that means wasting more time and money ultimately.

Sorry, meant La Liga. He played in 29 games, but only 1700 minutes.

Spurs have spent significant amounts the last 4 seasons. They can't be accused of not spending - but they can be accused of buying some shite!

180m in 22/23
270m in 23/24
185m in 24/25
145m so far in 25/26
