Philippe Coutinho

[Saoirse]

So we've agreed to personal terms with GLC and Fernandes but we're we can't up our transfer fee by 10m, so now we're in for someone on 300k/week that Barcelona want 90 million pounds for?

I just don't get how that makes sense. And I thought we didn't do loans?

We don't do loans without options, so we'll see on that.

What everyone seems to forget is we have no idea what last seasons off-field clusterfuck did to us financially. Clearly renting Wembley game-by-game until April, paying labour and construction costs for an extra 8 months, having some of our worst attendances for a generation despite lower ticket prices, effectively no ST holders for the year, cancelling NFL matches, having to refund all our corporate clients and failing to find a sponsor was not good. Very possible that we're not in a great spot for this summer but more optimistic for next, especially if naming rights are sorted. If so then loans with options to buy are a very good idea!

What's he on at Barca? Any word on whether they're willing to subsidise? So I don't have to read through 19 pages.

I actually find this link a lot more plausible than some of the others touted around this window i.e Dybala. Has worked with Pochettino, has terrific Premier League and top level experience. Couple this with the fact a loan with option to buy is looking the likeliest way out for him, i can see us going for it. Gives us the opportunity to offset the larger portion of his overall transfer fee to next year whilst getting the player in right away. Obvs the figures and numbers involved are not something you'd usually associate with Tottenham Hotspur, but im actually pretty confident we'd go for it if available.

Don't do it to yourselves. No chance!

especially if everything else is so iffy and Poch wants him.

If I remember correctly, he took a pay cut to join barca.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

A loan to buy would make sense in this instance while we don't know what is happening with Eriksen. That way we don't have to make a financial commitment now until Eriksen is sold, whether that be to Man U or later to European club.

GLC+Coutinho+Sessgnon will be happy days.

Supposedly £300k, no word on if they'll subsidise but assume we wouldn't go above Kane's £200k?

Id take Coutinho. Class.

I'd assume it's like Bale and they're paying him for his image rights too, something we don't do to my knowledge.

That would be ideal. Which unfortunately makes it the least likely of all the scenarios.

His homework is part of the deal?

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Wow

 

[cliff jones]

I hope he's begun working on his nice letter

 

[JayB]

Really interesting that Ali said he's Poch's first choice. Locking him down on a loan would also give us a much stronger position with our other targets. They wouldn't be able to hold out thinking that Levy has no choice but to buckle or risk alienating Poch, because we would have signed a player in the number one priority area that he loves. Barca seem motivated to get this done so hopefully we can move quickly.

 

[wiggo24]

Yeah, this makes sense to me.

If we sell Eriksen and bring in GLC and Coutinho (loan) , our net spend doesn't take a big hit this summer and we're less exposed with the Eriksen situation.

Add that to the fact Pochettino used to work with him and Barca want him gone and it seems logical.
