Transfer thread

[ricky2tricky4city]

Nobody in the board room at Spurs will be talking about a net transfer spend.

Every player has an annual cost attributed to them based on transfer fee, wages and length of contract. The board will have agreed to increase annual expenditure based on that.

That will include the wage increases for Kinsky, Porro & VDV although the remaining value of their transfer will also be spread out further based on the length of their new contract.

I think the net spend just gives us a comparative and easy to understand figure.

Id love to know the commitment we face on transfer stage payments and wages for the playing staff broken down for the coming individual years

I don't think so. I think Romero was quite happy with the way he conducted himself week to week. Took the up and downs that came with it. I get the impression he's not the type that needs sticking up for.

I think he just lives in his own world to a large degree.

Disagree.
I think as a club we absolutely should've been pointing out some of the PGMOL's pretty large discrepancies, which in turn might've convinced some fans to review whether he was always guilty of recklessness or sometimes reputation. No-one ever talks about how he went 2024/25 with only 3 yellows in the league and 2 in the EL.
He had one red card under Ange in the PL, that Chelsea one.
The way the narrative is written, the guy was getting sent off every month.
In fact, during Ange's time, Bissouma got way more yellows than Romero and two reds, yet he is referred to merely as lacking elite concentration.

I think we should've supported our skipper more. By the end of Frank's term, it felt like he wasn't in control of anything Romero was doing!!!!
Anyway, just my view mate...

I've long said our club is way too supine in our attitude to authority.
I find it difficult to argue with any Romeros red cards, if our players were tackled like that I would want a red, what tinkles me off is that others get away with it and worse but Romero is singled out and the club doesn't speak out.
We really need to up our game in this area.

A lot of this is based on reported wages, transfer fees and what the typical signing on and agent fee would be.

Tonali - £29M
Fernandes - £26M
Savio - £22M
van Hecke - £14M
Marmoush - £12M
Robertson - £9M
Senesi - £8M
Tosin - £7M
Murdyk - £5.5M
Dubravka - £1.5M
£134M

+ we have added about £15M more to the wage bill from Kinsky, Porro & VDV deals.
