So will I.
I'll pay Everton £200 to keep him.
So will I.
However, it is also unlikely that we got all the money up front for sales in the last two seasons. Ergo, we don't necessarily have £40 m-£50m in the kitty.At a very rough calculation based on Topspurs' transfer figures, I make it we had £40m-£50m in the kitty from the last two seasons' trading. As I doubt we're paying the £17m for Paulinho in one go, we've almost certainly got a very substantial chunk of that left, plus whatever we make from this window's outgoings, plus whatever the Dear Leader can conjure up from some creative accounting and the TV money. On that basis alone, I find this information less than entirely convincing.
Looking at it in the cold light of day, without bias. This is just one piece of ITK, I'm expecting another piece of ITK to counter it soon.
Thing is the money we were prepared to spend on either mouts or damio should be available still plus whatever we would've made available anyway this summer plus however much extra tv money and sales we make, I don't think £50m should be out of the question
More than unlikely, simply put, we don't have it.However, it is also unlikely that we got all the money up front for sales in the last two seasons. Ergo, we don't necessarily have £40 m-£50m in the kitty.
Surprised we haven't had anything already.
ITK really does seem to have slowed to a trickle this window.
Blimey, mate! Either you have some serious manlove for Jelavic, or you think we'd never in a million years go in for him. Either way you must have more money than sense.
Fancy lending me a tenner?
It still amazes me how some people take every bit of ITK as given and therefore as the basis of their love or hatred for Spurs that day.
Imagine if there was no Internet. Less than 2 weeks into the transfer window and we've signed one of the best midfielders in one of the best teams in the world. If there was no Internet, we'd all be happy about that and hoping for a striker at some point. But because of the internet, a couple of days after the Paulinho transfer was announced, bundles of fans on here were slitting their wrists again because 2 Croats no-one had heard of might not be coming and a great footballer chose to stay in Spain rather than come to a non CL playing English team. All the Moany McMoanersons come out in full swing and shed fuckloads of negativity around the place.
It really isn't as bad as you'd think. At least wait until 10th August and not 10th July before panicking & moaning. Arsenal fans have a lot more to worry about at the moment because they've been promised superstars and as yet have no-one. We're not in the CL so are limited to a certain extent as to who we can get. Yet we've still managed Paulinho.
90% of ITK doesn't pan out, don't get so wound up by it. Keep calm & masturbate lots.
Why are people talking as if we only have £15 million? I swear we went through this earlier.
Also someone even alluded to JJ's info about evaluating the value of each player and deal.
It's not as black and white with a club such as Spurs that we have a definitive amount... It's more likely to be we will be willing to invest if the potential benefits of a deal outweigh it's financial cost... E.g through the gaining of experience and boost in shirt sales (Villa) Or the potential to move them on in their peak for huge profits (Halilovic and Jedvaj). This is obviously all going to be within the guidelines of a loose budget.
You really think if the deal ticked all the boxes for us we wouldn't be able to find a couple of extra million 'over the forecasted budget'? (In relation to someone above saying about how could we afford 17 million for Croatian lads if we only had 15 million.)
If we sign him the £200 will be a parting gift as I'll give up on Spurs, and probably life.
Well if we're not getting the 2 croat babies, surely that means we have a extra £17mil to spend.........right?
