Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I feel like this dude is getting used and lied to by his agent. It’s probably a fake contract.
BBC 'gossip' page.
Tottenham's 27-year-old Denmark playmaker Christian Eriksen, whose contract with the London club expires in summer 2020, is a target for Real Madrid and he has dreamed of playing for the Spanish club since he was a child. (Express)
Tottenham scouts were impressed after watching Benfica striker Jota, 19, in the Portuguese side's Europa League win against Dinamo Zagreb. (A Bola, via Sun)
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy says the club's summer transfer plans will not be affected by the cost of their new stadium. (ESPN)

- Jota is ridiculously highly rated isn't he?Think I heard he has a ridiculously high release clause though
Fucking cunt playing for a bunch of cunts. Portugal talks are about 30M fees. Not expensive

Having skimmed those THST minutes, it seems to me that Daniel is being a clever cunt with his precise wording. 'Stadium not effecting transfer budget' is technically true if it's zero before and afterwards (with money coming from any sales).
Unfortunately, there is a risk that he's been penny wise and pound foolish - particularly if we manage to finish outside the top 4 despite our excellent position in January that could have been consolidated by a fresh face, as mentioned here...
The worrying thing is that I can't see us sorting the squad out properly even if we get a decent amount for Eriksen and the £25m for Alderweireld (that latter one is a fucking galling price to lose him at). Let's be optimistic and say we get £75m for an Eriksen with one year of his contract left, bringing it up to £100m for the two.
Janssen, N'Koudou, and whichever full back we inevitably end up flogging won't bring in that much extra on top.
Is that actually enough money to buy a Toby replacement, a top CM, a new full back, etc etc? Doubtful in today's market.
I thought Jota was rated at the €70-90m mark myself.
Wtf is going on with some teams atm? Incredible scouting !!
Ajax
Benfica
Lyon
Salzburg/ Leipzig
That's 4 teams that have at least 3+ players being touted at around £80m.
Teams from abroad may see us the same way tbh

What did it say?
Was that Paraguayan Bolivian regenerated football manager player signing a "Spurs contract" apparently.
Ah, this picture here?
Something about that looks fake as fuck to me. The text behind/on top of the body of the cockerel doesn't look right/legible at all, nor does the logo look centred (both implying photoshop chicanery). I also don't recall seeing a player sign a contract with such a bizarrely prominent Spurs watermark. For comparison, look at the photo Troy Parrott uploaded onto Twitter:
At first glance you might think it's blank pages of paper, but there is definitely text on there (and no enormous cock). This Bolivian literal who reeks of agent antics.

OK... Who here's behind this then?
Excellent int. break trolling.
(...Then again, the signs are always there. First contract in the big-time.... You don't sign it wearing THAT vest!)
Ah, this picture here?
....Actually, on closer inspection, that looks suspiciously like interview room B of Southend-On-Sea police station.
First off, I don't think us not buying the last two windows was all down to Levy. We have literally no room in our squad for non HG players, largely because of some poor purchases sanctioned by Pochettino in the last three years.
As far as adding to the squad goes in January, If Poch would rather use a fucking pit pony like Sissoko, rather than take someone like Teilemans on loan, again, not all Levy's fault.
As far as Cb goes, we have the perfect TA replacement already here in Dier, very similar type of player, clearly not good enough for midfield, lets just move him back where he belongs. Then we also have Sanchez and Forth, not to mention players like Eyoma and Tanganga coming through.
I'd also sell Sissoko, Davies or Rose and Aurier or Trippier, which should raise another 50-60-75m, then spend the 200m or so we might raise on Brandt (20m release), Diawra (35m)Ndombele (60m), Sessegnon (35m), Fekir (55m)
Yeah, but check out that sick thumb-ring.
I like Alasdair Gold, and he's usually on the money, but...
Aurier - sell
Trippier - keep
Aurier - sell
Trippier - keep
See Monchi has gone back to Seville, not Woolwich as many thought
You'd think that with not spending for 2 windows, you'd have a double transfer budget on the 3rd, but this is Levy's Spurs.
We have no money. Be lucky to get some cut price overweight lad from League 2.

To be fair - I wouldn't have lost any sleep if he went to Woolwich anyway.
Guy hasn't done anything worthy of note for 5+ years.
