30-40m is a lot to pay for the position he will fill, also considering buying from the Scottish league is a gamble. He does look good mind. We are likely to want to break as close to even as possible, our model is based on having a substantial match day revenue, more so than other rivals. We are probably financially okay for now, but this isn't the window to spend big, as the future is very unpredictable.
The other thing is what is his pathway into becoming a first team regular? Will he be happy with that? Would he agree to it.
Again, I would be happy with a deal for Edouard to Spurs, but from his perspective I don't see why he'd come. I would also be shocked if we spent 30m on any player, yet alone one not set to start most games.
I don’t totally disagree with you, but if we really can’t spend this much on a striker, we need to stop wasting our time and sign a cheap option. If we’re diving in the bargain bin, we should have Deeney or Diallo already signed.
