They’re also selling a centre back who’s never played for them to Brighton for £43m thoughblueToffee wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2026 8:28 pm I think you said the difference at the start, that Spurs are willing to overpay. They're probably overpaying in the wages department too. Same thing as Man United have been doing really for ages too.
That's the difference though with the teams who don't have to worry about PSR and those that do. Everton just don't have the same flexibility to throw money around.

Re: General Transfer Thread
I think if you have half a billion to spend then it doesnt matter because thats a project you can believe in.Raptor wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2026 8:12 pm I really like Tonali, he's a very good player and I'm surprised he didn't have better offers, but that might be down to the fee Spurs are willing to pay.
If I was a Spurs fan id be really optimistic about next season, looking promising. It also dispels the theory that gets pushed around about our struggles in the market and not being able to attract good players due to lack of Europe etc, etc, etc. if you show the right ambition, get the right manager in then players will want to be part of that project
Re: General Transfer Thread
We should’ve killed them when we had the chance.
Utterly ridiculous that they’re able to spend like that.

Re: General Transfer Thread
The gap is too huge.
They spend over £200 million net last season and are dropping another £250 million on Fernandes, Tonali, and Van Hecke.
I doubt they're done either.
They'll spend more net in 2 seasons than we will in 20. There's no way to compete with that long term.

Plus they also bought Gallagher who plays a similar position for £45 million this January. Insane amount being spent for a team that finished 17th twice in a row
