Very good point about allowing the books to be balanced more efficiently, didnt really think of that. But at the end of the day, no matter how much easier an instalment plan makes the deal, Spurs will still spend more overall in the deal than would be the case in a payment package that includes add-ons.
But I take your argument on board too

I honestly cant see other clubs going in for him. Especially for that price.
Liverpool are the only team i can think of but i honestly cant see Suarez leaving, If he does it wont be anytime soon and will be past the deadline valencia wants (3rd august if i can recall)
£15million now. And pay the rest off once Soldado leads us to top 4 and beyond and pay them then.

The notion that he was all for joining us last year is encouraging. This is exactly what I was told by a journo in may. He then said that he expected Spurs to return and return big. I think Villa and Benteke being available for what seemed a better price ultimately took us away from the scent a little but ultimately we knew what we needed to do to get Soldado and more importantly, Soldado wants us to go get him!

I agree, especially given their rumoured financial difficulties. Wait a week or two, bullshit that we are struggling to raise the funds for £25m etc etc etc, and see if they get desperate for the money.

Can you just explain this to me ... what is the difference? I'm not too finance savvy.

£1 today is worth more than £1 in a year.

Hunter this evening has said the following....
@BumperGraham: I must say I admire #Soldado as a person and as a striker but that's a very big price indeed.
Not sure that Valencia are playing this right
I agree with him regarding the price, it's a obscene fee imho....

It's a good thing, too. Based on the Villa and Benteke threads, 200 is the new 100.

I thought it was accepted practice that fees were paid in installments?
No doubt the advent of wanky clubs like the chavs, citeh, Monaco etc has seen that trend decrease, especially when dealing with the bigger player transfers. Valencia, of all clubs FFS, must surely realise that most clubs don't have an endless pot of money to just dip into and slap the whole fee down in one go.

Sounds like it may be more of them wanting the future installments guaranteed rather than tied to player performance.

Obscene?! What. He's a world class striker in his prime. I mean that implies he's in the ten million pound bracket or something.
Sounds like it will stay like this until we change our offer or the way we are paying it. Guess it will come down to who blinks first or whether they get offers for their other players
I wonder if we could do a deal that is dependent on Champions League qualification, but has the potential to be more lucrative for Valencia? For example, a guaranteed 26 million Euro fee, with an additional 8 million guaranteed Euros if Tottenham qualify for the group stages of the Champions League. That way, they could save face by spinning the fact that they got above their asking price for Soldado, with the very real chance that they'll actually get their money given the quality of our side, and we'll also be protected in the sense that a Champions League qualification would more than cover any future fee owed.

Clever.
But would a payment over time not take into account that difference in worth?
Also clever.
That means that not getting rid of all the cash here and now, but keeping some of it in the bank (even though it will go eventually) makes more sense?
Agree. Cavani was an obscene fee but because it was psg noone seemed to mention it. It's okay to overpay if you are rich you see
