[mawspurs]

Tottenham are stunned after Blackburn slapped a whopping £9.45million price tag on their whizkid defender Ashley Phillips. Spurs thought they would be able to sign the centre-back, 18, for only £2m plus extras in a bargain swoop.

Factor 40 is usually good enough mate, let’s not go crazy here.

Just spend the £9.45M on getting Tapsoba.

Honestly, I'm happy for us to get in the lad if it's for a good price but if it alters what we can do elsewhere in the window then probably not.

I love that "slap a price tag on" metaphor. I'm picturing the meme of the car salesman banging the top of the car "at least 5 clean sheets from this bad boy!"
