That, and eventually if he's still here would take up part of the 25 man squad when he reaches 21.
Now that is what gets a Spurs fan excited

Backs up some ITK and other whispers that have been knocking around.
Clearly we're gonna be taking a hefty loss here. Bought for £9M, sold for - what? - £5M?. £4M out of pocket and he only played about 50 games for us... Poor.

you can look at it like that or, you can say - he's one of the players we dont mind losing, we have better in the squad/coming through, he played in a final we won, taking a £3-4 million loss is not the end of the world. Its players like him that we need to get rid of asap, so we can buy a shiney new striker.
If it is the case, at least we save a squad place and have him off the wage bill.

Great news if true. After each sale we make I feel we're finally closer to making signings of our own.

I don't know he never lived up to his potential and having him in the squad could prevent the development of walker so I say good riddance. Let's face it we are no worse off without him infect we may be less likely to concede penalties!

I can't remember if Hutton's final fee was staggered or incentivised at all, as it might have not had its full value triggered.
But even if it has, this is still a smaller loss than the profit we made on O'Hara, so who cares? You win some (most, actually, when you're Levy) and lose some.

Giuseppe - Rossi!
You're going to shag Rossi to convince him to sign, (or punish him for turning us down)
Go for it big guy!

IIRC the Hutton deal was like 9million staggered over something stupid like 5 years, it may well be that the payments recieved for Hutton will exceed the payments going out, so in terms of P&L it would be a technical positive cash flow on the remaining deal?? Dont know if that is right or not.

This has been debated at length in the Adebayor Thread - maybe you should go there (and read it, rather than kick-off another round of the same arguments):up:
Is that right?
I wasn't sure, but I thought that staus only applied whiole at the, er, Mother club:shrug:
That's kinda how I see it, too. Levy has been on a steep learning curve and I think he has made a few errors of judgement (like underestimating the difficulties of attracting a top striker). But I feel that whenever push has come to shove he has acted decisively. In this instance I really can't see him throwing away all his own hard-work to get us in this position, when he knows we need to upgrade the strikeforce. I think he will really put his hand on this and fix it for years to come.
I could be wrong.
Oh, I don't know...he left us with the legend of Dad-Basher...that's gotta count for something, right:shrug:

Well found, bgoldie. Wondering if he will expand on the Pedroza snippet from before now.

Also, isn't this Fourth_Official on twitter bit of a WUM? Not sure why everyone is acting like Hutton's already gone. I know it's been in the papers too but until one of the more respectable ITKs mention it, it could just be that; paper talk.
