Thought he was a mid ranking prem player last summer but as usual everyone got over excited. He's a West Ham level forward.
Problem is because of that investment i dont see us buying another out and out number 9 especially with no European football. If we move on Richarlison we probably get a utility forward that can play wide as well. Shot ourselves in the foot yet again.
Our 25 most expensive signings are Solanke, Ndombele, Richarlison, Brennan, Romero, Maddison, Sanchez, Gray, Porro, Van de Ven, Sissoko, Lo Celso, Kulusevski, Bergwijn, Soldado, Reguilon, Lamela, Son, Odobert, Bissouma, Lucas Moura, Sessegnon, Bryan Gil, Danso & Emerson Royal.
That's between 900mil and 1bn spent on that lot...and that's just transfer fees. Let that sink in for a minute.
How many would be considered successful buys, how many really moved the needle during their time at Spurs? Yes, some are recent purchases but still...
One man has presided over every single one of them signings. And guess what, he's still in the top seat, getting paid more than any other football director in the world, allowing himself fat bonuses whenever he fancies...and I guarantee you that if you asked him how he's performed at his job since '01, he'd tell you he's the best thing that could've ever happened to Tottenham, that he's a genius chairman and that we should all line up to kiss his ass.
