Spurs pay 40m for Gray, Rodon goes the other way for 10mGray looking likely. Good idea getting a potential future 6 who for now can be a backup RB as well.
Hope we can throw in Skipp or Joe Roden into the deal
Important that he can be the backup RB, also means we can get (somehow) 20m for Emerson. Basically 10m + Emerson + Rodon for Gray a backup RB and backup 6/8Spurs pay 40m for Gray, Rodon goes the other way for 10m
30m not terrible. Another attacking option across the front much needed
Plus 10m a season off the book with Tanguy gone aswell. So from that point of you spurs technically haven't spent in the red yetImportant that he can be the backup RB, also means we can get (somehow) 20m for Emerson. Basically 10m + Emerson + Rodon for Gray a backup RB and backup 6/8
Joe Rodon +30m lolJoe Rodon + £10m for Archie Grey (Leeds United)
More youf for the future I guess
yep, my badJoe Rodon +30m lol
Other than Moore, they should all be getting loans or part of Europa match days.Most would know by now, I enjoy discussing the youth we have. Been pleasurable with the U21's winning PL2. With the kids we have brought in now as well, how do we see this list next year;
sell
loan(bonus points for league type)
hold & develop in U21s
promote to 1st team
George Abbott
Jamie Donley
Alfie Dorrington
Luca Gunter (was he loaned last year)
Tyrese Hall
Nile John
Will Lankashear
Yago Santiago
Jude Soonsup-Bell
Mikey Moore
Archie Gray
Lucas Bergvall
Dane Scarlett
Troy Parrott
Alfie Devine
Ashley Phillips
Matthew Craig (had no idea who he was but yeah, loaned to Doncaster Rovers)
that is a fair bit to work with. I would be hoping we can integrate Donley, Dorrington, one of Lankashear, Devine or Parrott/Scarlett to the 1st team.
You're hard to please.Other than Moore, they should all be getting loans or part of Europa match days.
Parrot is off to AZ for a reported 7m. Only 12 months on his contract probably halves the fee we are getting. Hopefully there's a buy back and sell on clause because 7m is pretty light on still
8m for a bloke with a year left on his deal who isn't that good and is 22 already. It's fine.You're hard to please.
I'm not used to getting fees for players! Its a bit of a foreign concept to me.
You would think that the talent U22 we have was a big reason why we moved him on. Scarlett (20), Lankashear (18, just signed il 2029 to iirc), Devine (19) all need to come on now imho8m for a bloke with a year left on his deal who isn't that good and is 22 already. It's fine.
Not sure what you're reading, he's a free agent and everton are close to re signing him. 0 interest from TottenhamSounds like Dele Alli back at Lilywhites is a very, very real possibility
thoughts??

It's a great deal compared to what we normally doYou're hard to please.

Apples and oranges comparison.But you then see what others are selling lesser proven academy types for.
And as per, we're well short.
Apples and oranges comparison.
These clubs were making a mockery of PSR/FFP regulations by artificially inflating and selling academy talent to each other before June 30 for accounting and amortisation purposes to not breach regulations.
It can't be fair to be comparing our business to financial dopers and those trying to dodge penalties via loopholes. We're not engaging in that shady practice as we've not mismanaged our PSR calculations to the extent we need to.
I'm not chastising them for taking the betting or Crypto on board. It's not illegal. Just like selling academy players for a profit isn't. I'm just calling it hypocritical to be okay with 1 and not the others.A betting agency is not the same level of bad PR as sponsorship promoting tourism to a country your own government has sold asylum seekers to.
And you chastise the club for not engaging in the shady business practice of artificially inflated academy sales purely for PSR purposes. I praised them for that. We aren't badly run to the point we need to use these shonky trading practices.
Shows me you'll never actually get it as a fan. Chastise the club for bad business dealings in their professional life, chastise the club for the Solomon deal... Now chastise the club for not engaging in shady transfer business.
