It was a cashflow issue i'd imagine? The same as our next transfer or two are being paid for by flogging the Klimt and Bacon paintings

Don’t pay for anyone up front unless you trying to do an impossible deal
I mean I know where it went in reality and it was to pay debt due on previous transfers, and possibly the ones you refer too
But the question is that when you borrow against future earnings you then don’t get those earnings to spend in the future

Yeh, people wanna stick head in sands, its the footballing level of payday loans

Rumours it’s agreed now at about 100m..

Perfect description
If we're willing to.go that high i can't see anyone else being remotely interested so should be a free run

Borrowing money from the future is never good BUT if you've got cashflow issues maybe you had little choice. Be interesting to know if one of the £100m they've injected has settled that loan as the interest rate was way above our other borrowings.

Of course, just shows we are not in great financial health when needing a bumper summer

If we are overhauling the squad as much as it looks...I think the final summer outlay doesn't have to net out at that higher figure (£100m?) ....the problem we have is selling clubs know we want an overhaul, are looking to make a statement and kick start our fortunes again...and they're charging/quoting us accordingly.
Then as we are front loading our purchases first...we then are up against a ticking clock to shift quite a number of players in sales (especially given we don't need a bloated squad for a Europeless season) ...so once again will we get the prices we want? ...or back into a semi forced sale?
Not that fussed, don't particularly rate him and especially not at the prices being mentioned

Does Ugarte being out for ages mean Utd will be looking for a midfielder like Tonali, I have no idea what roles players like Tonali and Ugarte do , are they similar at all, I'm still stuck in the days of inside right, inside left , wing half and centre half

He's definitely not worth the Francis Bacon
£100m just seems like huge amount of money. I’m far from any kind of expert here as I just don’t have that much knowledge of players outside of Tottenham but I don’t know, that feels like a mega chunk of money for a very good (but not spectacular?) player.
I suppose if he’s key to RDZ’s plans then it becomes a matter of value vs cost, but it feels like a big and expensive gamble to me.

Is he a bit streaky?

They did just sign Ederson

Its especially dangerous if we don't get Fernandes as well, as Tonali is the marginal upgrade on what we have (Gallagher/Sarr), rather than the missing piece we need
