He is in Seville today and I don't think he has gone there on holiday
Contracts will be signed and he will very shortly be a Betis player
Not sure where you get your impressions from, but a few things you may want to think about :
Eriksen only wants to leave for Real Madrid. That seems increasingly unlikely with rumours he's likely to sign a new contract
Alderweireld might have wanted to go to ManU last season for £70m but they are rumoured to have thought him too old at that price and wages demands
Atm looking likely we will have both Eriksen and Lo Celso next season - rumours of Ceballos seem to have died away as he was always part of an Eriksen deal to Madrid that has failed to matrialise.
Atm Rose is 50/50 to stay.
Probably Wanyama is close to leaving
Maybe one or two ( not likely first teamers) still to come ?
Net spend £100m +.........with the same benefits you identified
Seems a rather steep amount to give them for him
Taking Toby on the tour and giving him the captain's armband for the game with a week to go for his come-and-get-me clause is a weird way of wanting him gone, especially given the Danny Rose situation.
But hell I dunno, maybe you're right.
It would be very very nice to resolve the Toby and Eriksen situations one way or another before the window closes. There are a ton of the club's financial resources tied up in those two, and the last thing we want is paper bullshit the whole season about whether and where those two will sign.
Shit, if Eriksen re-signs and we net spend nine figures I will be over the moon.
I just find that an unlikely scenario, and one that would make last year's parsimony a little confusing.
All to be revealed.
Oh yes please....

Real Betis to sign Lyon captain Nabil Fekir - Football España
Lyon captain Nabil Fekir has arrived in Seville ahead of undergoing a medical to complete his €20m move to Real Betis. The report claims a fee between €20m and €25m has been agreed for the France international, with the potential of Giovani Lo Celso leaving the club this summer in excess of...

I predicted at the start of TW a net spend of £100m, based on Spurs financials (see seperate thread) for last year showing profit after tax of £100m+ and my back of envelope forecast we will show something similar for year to June 2019 after CL run)
So no major surprise, at least to me and a few others who went through that hread
Last summer more confusing with stadium a bit up in air but we tried to get in de Jong ( as stated by him) but he chose Barcelona and also tried to get Grealish but the Villa change in ownership stopped that I think. Eventually we had decided on no squad fillers so once our first choice went there was no plan B. This year looks like e got plan A done.
Think Wanyama more likely to leave than Rose but likely we will see one or two other joiners ( not mega bucks) once Lo Celso and Sessegnon are done.
Just not sure what positions will be filled as it's as much availability of players Poch think will improve us as anything else.
Agree with the figures though - will blow some people's minds after last 10 years net spend which cumulatively is less than that !
To be honest, I'm basing it as much on Wanyama's crocked knee as Skippy seemingly coming into his own.
Also this. I think we're moving towards a new system with no devoted CDMs, but rather a flatter back four that needs less protection and more dynamic CMs in the De Jong mould.
Ig that number is right then Levy has pulled off one hell of a deal
AKA: our CL run earnings.
That wouldn't even touch the PL television money from last season. Very shrewd if we pull it all off.
'Slightly higher wages'
From £350,000 per week after tax to £1,000,000 per week after tax
He’ll be back next week after we sign Sessegnon and Lo Celso this week
Exciting stuff
That diamond worked really well yesterday, if we have really energetic fast full backs we might be able to pull it off. It would explain why we have so many midfielders
My only concern is left back. I'd love rose to stay because I'm not convinced Davies is energetic enough to be first choice and sessengon isn't ready.
Notice out midfield is full of players who are great at keeping the ball. Were going to be as press proof as you get and if we push up as high as we did yesterday kane and son will get a lot of chances.

Seems like we're having a garage sale at 5M a pop. I'd take that for:
Janssen, GKN, Onomah, CCV and Wanyama
We can add some clauses to the younger players to hopefully get extra cash down the line but 25m for players with no long term future here is good business plus getting them off the wage bill.

That's what we paid for Ndombele so I don't know if I'd use the word "deal". Whatever, get it done so he's with the squad for the Audi Cup.
If it's 54 I think we've paid a little over the odds but that's generally the case with reluctant sellers and a long contract. Hopefully he'll prove worth it.
