    Eberechi Eze

    Seen the bbc article about palace wanting £60m. Seems about right in terms of them agreeing something in the region of about £50-55m plus some add-ons. Whether we see him as this year’s Richarlison, in terms of spending at the top end of our normal range or not is to be seen. But I don’t think...

    Eberechi Eze

    It all depends on whether A) Palace want/need to cash in and B) City see him as a main target. If Palace want to sell for a realistic price and City don’t have him top of their list then we’re in as good a position (or better) as anyone.

    Eberechi Eze

    Market has tanked with PRS. Highly desirable players will still demand high fees, but clubs just can’t afford many transfers now so player valuations will have to come way down. If we were still in 2022’s transfer market then we’d probably have a shot at getting £15-20m for him.

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    Will still have the amortisation, you can’t stop that. At the moment you sign a player you commit to an amortisation of his value over his contract length. If you sell or release him at any point the remaining amortisation amount simply hits the books at that point in time.

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    90% was this season. Next season is 80% and then 70% the following one.

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    The point is that if his final year value on our books is £10m and we keep him for his final year then we have £10m to write off at the end of the year (June). If we sell him for £0 in July then we also write off £10m, we just do it at the start of the financial year rather than the end, but...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Agree with this, I was keen when we were linked with him last summer. He's been on excellent form so far this calendar year too, with 12 goals in 12 games and finding the net in at least 1 out of every 2 games: And nicely there's a distinct lack of assists in there, which is what we want...

    Eberechi Eze

    I think he's the ideal player for us in that he can cover both positions. So in Son, Maddison & Eze we would have 3 very strong players across LW and AM. That then still leaves room for bringing in say Werner and another wing option for the right to compete with Johnson. For me Deki will have...

    Arsenal

    To be fair Poch inherited a squad with: Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Dembele, Eriksen and Kane in it. That's one hell of a spine of players and I think it's fair to say each one of those players is the best player we've had in that position in the 10 years before or since 2014.

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Yep this is definitely the grey area. Most online sources have our player wage bill at around £120m for 22/23 season, yet as you say that's less than half the reported amount of wages in our accounts. Obviously the little bald fella gets a fair wedge, as does Ange and his team, but I would...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    100% wrong as of right now. The only rules currently in effect are the ones that have been for several years now. There was however a meeting last week where clubs agreed to progress talks on supplementing these rules with new ones that align with the UEFA squad % rule which you've mentioned...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    The losses come from the Stadium and other infra projects connected to it and the club, which don't come into FFP calculations. The latest I've seen on this since the 22/23 accounts were released is below, basically if we get CL this season we have nearly £650m of FFP headroom this summer...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    The easiest way to think of it is that each player we have has a cost on our club accounts. If we buy a player for £50m on a 5 year deal then each year we own him he depreciates by £10m. So start of Season 1 his on the books cost is £50m, start of season 2 his cost is £40m and so on until the...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    That's good, undervaluing us would do us a lot of damage. But also he's a business man first and foremost - this is/was a detriment to us when he gets/got involved in footballing matters, but there's no-one else I'd want running the business side of the club apart from Levy right now.

    Tottenham looking at Hugo Larsson of Eintracht Frankfurt

    Agreed, but with European football next season there will be chances for them. We need more midfielders in this summer with PEH off, Skipp looking like no a major part of Anges plans and questions over Bissouma consistency.
