At this point you expect Spurs to overpay by £30 million on every player
Spurs 2026/27 | Secretly being run by Edward Woodward?
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
I know you wont like this but surely for that money, you can go get Ndiaye from Everton, maybe even cheaper and is much better player?
Saw a tweet and assumed it was from one of those fake accounts. Mind boggling fee if true.
They can have Rashford for £30 million.
If they get relegated it'll be the funniest thing ever.
80 million? He played 821 minutes and scored 1 goal last season.
Id be delighted if we got £85m for Ndiaye.
you got less change out of isak.
Dutch reports suggest they have also agreed terms with Gakpo as well.
nah thats just big ambition being shown by Spurs!
I'm really interested to see if this big splurge works out for them.
Its hard to say what they will do this summer. How much money can they realistically spend considering they went all-in last summer.
I rate Savio and think he can be a good player but that fee is just bonkers. I guess they set the tone for the summer when they overpaid for Fernandes and Tonali. Now every club will jack their asking price up. Gakpo on the other hand is just average as feck. A discount Rashford. No idea why they would be interested in him.
Looking on from the outside, they are just playing FM in real life. A full squad revamp will never go down well. Not especially when you are overpaying so much in transfer fees and wages.

They can keep it.
Yep.. they are spending big must mean they are very ambitious..
Crystal Palace must be the most ambitious because they’ve spent the least! That’s how it works isn’t it?
Hmm. Seems so many are vastly overpaying Man City for any kind of players these days. Have they found a way to subsidize buyers to inflate FSP?
What would working out be at this stage? They almost got relegated last season. Would it be working out if they finished mid table, or would only a top four do?
If Savinho had goals he'd be a £150m player and out of our range, at 22 I figure we think there's more to come from him.
I mean 2 goals is more than 1 right?
Obviously the minimum would be europe. Spending £100 million they would have expected at least mid table, they're at £228 million before Savinho which would be £65 million up front and then add ons to take it to £85 million with £75 million in sales and Romero about to leave for £35 million. If all goes through they'd be at £183 million net spend so almost double. Who in their right mind would think mid table would make sense for that business?
That should not have needed some white text ..
Like really?!
I mean have a word with yourself, if he was worth £150m he'd be one of the best players in the world.
Yes, you best hope he has more than...one goal per season in him.
The level of cope is fantastic.
I don't know if £150m gets you best in the world nowadays but his dribble and chance creation numbers match the highest echelon of wingers, the reason they cost £150m and he costs half that is because they score and he doesn't. If he were to add goals then he would be with them but obviously that's a pretty big if.
He could very well remain a threatening but profligate winger all his career but given he's shown an ability to score goals before(albeit in La Liga) and has only just turned 22 then I can see the appeal from our side.
Interesting.. just to let you know about nowadays. Signings in the last 18 months
Ollise went for 55m Euros is probably one of the best RW rn
Kvar went for 70m Euros who is one of the best LW's
Doue went for 50m Euros to PSG
Rodri is one of the best DM's and will probably go for 70m
Feck that, judging by their spending he’s worth £100 million.
If..
The point is you can get them much cheaper.. why isn't Rodri comparable?
What body of work has Savinho got to say 85m is a fair price?
Nothing, its clear you can sign players for good deals.
Rodri is 30 with one year left on his deal, off the back of an ACL and will be commanding a massive salary. There's also a negative percent chance we or any club outside of one or two could actually sign him. So comparing his fee is completely irrelevant.
The others you mentioned all had elite clubs chasing them. Do you think Spurs could've signed Kvara over PSG or Olise over Bayern? If no then the fees are again irrelevant to Spurs.
I think he's probably worth 50-60m currently so if it actually is 85m then that's a big overpayment but I still see the appeal from our side and I'm not seeing a plethora of better options out there. No doubt there are some hidden gems who one year from now will look like great deals but we're obviously not shopping in that market this summer and it's not like Savinho is completely without talent or potential.
Your club has had no control this summer. It's been desperation central. It may well work out for you but please don't try to justify the fees you've been spending as good ones.
At least its a forward I guess. Their biggest problem last season was that their best attacking players were their defenders.
So far to address this they've signed midfielders from teams who either got relegated last season, or weren't very good. Which is both nonsensical in itself and has nothing to do with why they were so bad last season.

It didn't. Some of us know spending big isn't just the answer. They are both ambitious and stupid
They finished 5th in 23/24 so they should get decent results over the winter period and be comfortable top half by time January comes around.
The problems at Spurs tends to be 12 months into a high maintenance managers tenure. Conte and to a lesser degree Mourinho started well. They usually qualify for CL/Europa and then issues start as manager wants to add 3/4 elite players and they don't have finance or draw for that.
Can't see Spurs sending all this again next summer even if they make CL.
Making Europe and a good cup run at least.
Not like he hasn''t got one of the very best in world football to continually assist at Man. City.
I'm pretty sure in the run in he started at Bournemouth and the commentator said that was his first prem start of the season which was ridiculous considering how often Man. City rotate.
9 in 37 at Girona is his sort of limit in terms of season productivity I think.
That's pretty definitive for a player not long turned 22.
You're also omitting the 10 assists.
