If we do sign him, there is no chance Levy will be paying that. No chance Levy's MO does that, and often fees often touted before a deal end is done end up being nowhere near what was first suggested.....

I belive his a last season was a one hit Wonder.. he has 134 games and 29 goals and 19 last season. He will be back to 5-6 goals at Spurs
Ndombele £65m. Richarlison £60m. Johnson £50m.
Included add ons as solanke will have them aswell.

My thoughts as well, one good season should not make up for the other games he never scored in.

Andy Turner
He 's not worth anywhere near 60 mill.
If we pay that we are absolute mugs. Get Toney for 35 to 40 mill is more palatable.

47 mins. of rambling before he gets to the point. GTF.
The problem (as always for us) is we’re never going to pick up the players that have had 2-3 good seasons. They will be looking for top tier moves.
That leaves us to semi-gamble on one season returns. It’s the scouts job to sort out who’s who.
Tweets not limited now?
Was a tweet. But I’m with you can’t do his YouTube video updates

He played numerous games as a second half sub as a teenager which is gives a certain slant.

Is Toney really a better option? Solanke is 26 and Tony is 28. People complain that Solanke has only scored 19 goals just once, but Toney has only scored 21 goals just once.
I think Solanke is more mobile and has a higher ceiling. I think the price is steep but so was Ndombele and a number of other players I could name.
No Toney is not a better option, but Solanke isn't the solution either. The problem is the solution is too expensive or unavailable so the best option is to stick with Richarlison as a fit Richarlison is better than Toney or Solanke.

In theory you make a valid point. Last season Richalison showed when fit he gets the job done. And therein lies the rub, he has way too many injuries, his availability simply cannot be relied upon. We need another striker to supplement him.

I wouldn't do it. He does have good attributes and of course he was someone who many thought would grow to be a very good striker when he was younger, but last season was so out of the blue form and numbers wise for him that you need to see at least one more season of that level of output before you should spend big on him.
If he were cheap then it might be worst a go, but I've season of scoring isn't worth 65m at his age and profile. We've seen way to many players who have had an out of character hot season where everything fell for them.
65 M on him would be robbery. He does not move the needle in terms of our attacking quality. Richy when fit is a better player.
If we do spend that on him and looking at our options we would have spent 150m odd on Richy , Johnson and Solanke. That does not look like good business all in in my view.

Again it’s opinions
But Johnson feeding solanke may make both look better
Johnson’s numbers last season were very good and that was him playing many more games than expected and having no striker for a lot of the time
solanke isn’t an unknown. He shined in youth football and then made some moves when not getting chances at Chelsea. Pool when he joined were changing their set up on and off the pitch and at Bournemouth he had delivered
Johnson is a funny one. Whilst his stats looked good on the eye at times he’s poor. So I’ll judge him on this season but not to sure on him.
Solanke yes he was highly touted as a youngster. So yes he’s not unknown but for me he’s had one solid season and I’ve seen enough of him over the years to doubt that sort of price tag.
Different club and system he may well flourish but it’s a lot of money for him in my view. 30m maybe 40 at top end but 65 wow that could be a mistake.

I think Johnson’s buffers because he hasn’t played with a striker
We may see a different player if we have a CF for him to work with

I laugh at that price. I doubt Levy will approve this transfer. His consistency needs to be established.
