Could end up as the next Pogba and it's a massive risk...
Tottenham would never spend 80 odd million ONE player... We built our entire first XI with a similar amount.
Tielmans for me. No brainer. Young, PL experience and should be much, much cheaper.
How we have operated i.e. "built entire first XI with a similar amount" is exactly the reason Pochettino is willing to leave.
The entire point he has been making and evident in what Liverpool have done is that we need the last bit of quality in 2 or 3 players to really challenge.
No point buying 4 players for £80m because they're cheaper. I'd rather just the one brilliant player. You live and die by you're scouting and assessment (and luck with injuries).
Talk in Germanyis that Brant’s release fee of £22m was only if they missed out on CL qualification and they didn’t.

I hate opting for a cheaper player just because they're cheaper
if the more expensive is gettable but would mean using the majority of our budget for them, then I would opt for that
rather bring in a brilliant option in 1 position rather than decreasing the average squad quality across numerous positions

I'd go with this but £80m is a finished or near finished article kinda price - Your VVDs of this world.
Look at Fred and Kieta both crica £50-£55m. Massively underwhelming.
If spending silly money I'd feel more confident with someone like Declan Rice who has at least shown what he can do in this league (not that WHU would sell to us).
NDombele has played 50 odd games for a Lyon tea who came 3rd in their league and has 4 international caps. Hardly a wealth of experience to be the basis of an £80m valuation.
If you consider Sanchez at £42m, we are prepared to pay money for potential but only the desperate will pay £80m for it. Thats crazy money and i have no issues if we dont pay crazy!
Latest rumor is ......
Maxi Gomez from Cleta Vigo for $40 as backup CF to Kane.
Maybe that's in Levy's budget.

Bottom line is none of us have a clue how much money is available, or who is coming in or who is leaving. All speculation at the moment.

Good to see you've given up your bad habit of making outlandish predictions, Sandy.
