Double? If that's the case they must beg Real to take Kane.

The view has sat uncomfortably with the cost of construction. It seems a long time ago that £400m was the ballpark figure. Then, it became £750m and £850m, and now, nobody would be surprised if it reached a billion. Tottenham have taken out £400m in bank loans, which are repayable over a five-year period. This month they announced in their financial results for the year ended 30 June 2017 that the “cumulative spend” on the project had increased from £115.3m to £315.1m.

 

They apparently want to raise £170m from selling Rose, Alderweireld, Wanyama and Dembele. They can do great things with that money, without needing to sell a star

 

Well maybe yeah, could get one big worldie statement buy and some solid business from that I suppose. Still when you'reo looking at 4 or 5 purchases that Poch will want to be competing with the top Champs League clubs for quality for that comes to a lot of money. Levy may sanction a big £100m purchase or something but elsewhere will want value I suspect, not the Sheik Mansour idea of 2 world class players for every position.

See Poch agitating for more transfer funds or he'll walk. Their stadium seems to have cost more than twice what was estimated (who the fuck estimates these things, how do you get it that wrong?) and so apparently they need to sell to buy.

I reckon they'll get Walker-esque money for Rose (£50m probably from Man Utd), Alderweireld only has one year left after this but he's top drawer (maybe £30m), Wanyama possibly £25m and Dembele £35m max = £140m if they're lucky enough to shift them all in a shorter window.

 

Spurs fan I know (quite a few) reckon Rose is 100% off, as is Alderweireld and that they will 100% keep Kane and Poch.

 

They've been quite strongly linked with Sessegnon.

Wonder if they'll ditch Lamela and/or Sissoko too if Sessegnon arrives. Think they will lose one of Kane, Alli or Erikssen, the latter maybe most likely. Poch may leave because the overhaul will be too big and he knows they'll struggle to improve.

Rafa isn't going to be 'tempted' to another club for any reason than he does not believe he will get backing from Ashley. He quite clearly wants to stay and build a project, he's managed real madrid ffs he's not going to go and think hmmm things are good here but rather manage at that shithole london stadium.

 

Not to say it's unlikely he'll go, just if he goes it's on Ashley not poached. On the one hand it allows Rafa to pressure Ashley if he is wanted (albeit as if he'd struggle for employment anyway) but on the other gives Ashley an excuse (not my fault he was poached)

Yeah Erikssen is a good shout to be on the departure board tbf. I could easily see Lamela going too perhaps to fund Sessegnon.

I’ll be honest, I’d lose a bit of respect for Rafa if he left us for West Ham. I’d understand him leaving us after being fucked over repeatedly by Ashley. But West Ham? They’re as shambolic a club as we are and their owners are total assholes, too.

 

I just don’t see him making that move.

He was going there before Real Madrid came in for him. Someone get that club right then it’s massive like us. Ok they have the cunts in their fan base, but they are still a big club if it all clicked there.

Allardyce to Watford no later than November.

 

That's his life now. In for a few months getting millions to keep a club up. It's about as much as anyone can put up with his football. He probably doesn't care considering the money he'll be paid too.

According to Sky Chelsea will go for Pochettino when Conte leaves.

 

Hmm I just can't see it; he would never go to a rival?? Having said that he said he wouldn't manage Barca/Arsenal....
