I'll throw in Lamela sale funds towards Grealish in my master plan.

Is nobody worried about his injury record? He has missed 31 league games through injury in the last 2 seasons. For comparison, Wanyama has missed 33 in the same timeframe and Lamela has missed 24 in the last 2 seasons, although, he also missed 29 in 16/17 as well.

The majority he picked up a few years ago, I think he's been injured once this season and was out for a couple of weeks. There certainly isn't a common trend of an injury prone player.

One of those was a freak accident though.

For me, there's some obvious "wage clearing" that's going to happen, one way or another:

I'm using Sportrac's Wage/Payroll for these numbers (could be a bit off, but likely not insanely wrong)
Link: https://www.spotrac.com/epl/tottenham-hotspur-f.c/payroll/

Expiring Contracts:
Michel Vorm: £40,000/wk
Fernando Llorente: £75,000/wk

Players *VERY* likely to be sold:
Vincent Janssen: £34,000/wk
Georges-Kevin N'koudou: £35,000/wk

Players *Likely* To Be Sold:
Kieran Trippier: £65,000/wk
Serge Aurier: £70,000/wk
Erik Lamela: £80,000/wk
Victor Wanyama: £65,000/wk
Joshua Onomah: £30,000/wk
Danny Rose or Ben Davies (Either/Or): £60,000/wk

Players *SortaKindaLikelyButHopefullyNot* To Be Sold:
Christian Eriksen: £75,000/wk
Toby Alderweireld: £80,000/wk


As you can see, just from the expiring/very likely to be sold groups, if they are completely off the books, that'd free up somewhere in the vicinity of about £180,000/wk. Say we sell Trippier, Lamela, Wanyama, Onomah and Davies from the 3rd group, that's another £300,000/wk.

Basically, if we're aggressive with getting rid of contracts, we could free up quite a large amount of money/week, pay what will likely be required to lure the talent we need and hopefully afford some contract extensions for players that are deserving.

Eriksen earns less than Lamela???

He missed 13 League games mid way through this season and 15 at the start (and another 3 towards the end) of last season. He also missed 10 league games through injury 15/16, so has only had 1 injury free season out of 4 ( though he only started 18 games, of which he only finished 13 of those starts that season for whatever reason).

Oh yeah I read it wrong

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-grealish/verletzungen/spieler/203460

Still I'm not worried, when I look at injury prone players I look at consistent tears or pulls, I wouldn't count his injuries as that.

Technically, so was Lamela's.

If you categorise hip injuries which are commonly occur to players and are also reoccurring injuries for players in their careers to somebody being kicked and having their kidney split in 2 places then yeah I guess they're both freak injuries.

It wasn't a common hip injury, if it was, several experts wouldn't have missed it, he had to have surgery on a tiny muscle in his hip that is unusual to injure. Also, Lamela's hip injury hasn't recurred.

Fair enough, I think what I see differently is that Lamelas common injuries tend to be muscular where as Grealish has suffered two long term impact injuries, if it was reoccurring muscular injuries or ligaments then I'd not want to take the risk.

Only way Eriksen and Toby stay is if they sign new contracts. No way Levy will let them run down their contracts and we lose them for nothing.
