Depends on how many players that money is spent on doesn't it.
I think the danger is to try and fix everything at once. This is all about a new start (was always going to be whether Kane left now or next Summer). I'd rather we picked up good quality players with room to grow and develop over a period of two or three seasons rather than rush to buy whoever is available now for big money, regardless of their fit for the squad. Kane is a once in a generation player. I am thrilled that he was ours and gutted that we couldn't pick up a trophy or two during peak Poch. We are not going to replace him, so as someone said earlier, let's bank those memories and find new heroes. COYS.

That is gutting if it’s the case. Had been very much under the impression we’d not buckled - raises the question of what we were actually deeming an “acceptable” offer it’s way less than £120m
It’s €100m plus up to €20m more which is a fair bit less than £120m even if the pound ain’t great!

That i would consider us a well run club if we did what they do specifically? No because the context of our club is different with the profile and revenue we have. But if we were good at succession planning generally, which they do incredibly well, then i would say yes.

Brighton are a well run club, just a smaller club.

We're a bigger club thats been terribly run in recent years when it comes to our team/manager.
Arguably they only did managerial succession planning very well once. Potter to de Zerbi.

not sure it was the same well thought out pre-planned approach from Garcia to hyppia to Hughton.

Strange that both Kane and Spurs are openly talking to Sky about the delay issues. It's almost as if they're calling each other's bluff in public. Something weird is happening.

100% opinion, but I don't think people should get their hopes up about us reinvesting the money.

The '100m last summer' was a loan that allowed us to get Richarlison and eventually Maddison in as Kane's replacement in aggregate.

I reckon we'll go in for Orban and another CB at around 60m total and thats it. And then whatever happens with the hojberg situation.
Orban and a decent CB and we have a competitive squad. Would have hoped we can get better than Per Schuurs though.

Even if Levy had a change of personality and wanted to splash big on a top class striker I question how many would actually want to come Spurs right now

i would say our options might be limited

Currently sitting by a pool in Spain. Lifeguard removes the towels from the sun loungers in front of us as they’ve not been used all morning. The culprits arrive sometime later in a state of disgust that their towels (and reserved sun loungers) have gone. The icing on the cake is that the teenage son has a Bayern Munich top on. Take that you Kane stealing w*nkers
Years ago there was a bunch of print workers in our hotel in Ibiza. On their way back from a very late night out they saw towels already down on the loungers so they threw them all into the pool. Brilliant.

I think you have to look at Vlahovic in the front foot attacking Fiorentina side rather than the ultra pragmatic Juve team.
Generally I bemoan the opportunistic bargain hunting but this is a good opportunity to pick up Vlahovic for an affordable price. If we create chances for him he will put them away.

Don't think the marketing department at Copybet is up to speed yet:

Doesn't matter which team you look at Vlahovic in, we're definitely not signing him.
