    Club policy for such players **** should be loan, with
    obligation to buy if certain trigger conditions are met.


    *** At the end of this season that will be 4 years on
    tbe books, and I assume the club will have fully
    amortised their transfer/wage costs over that period

    Apparently due to La Liga fair play rules, Villarreal can’t include an obligation to buy clause in a loan for Lo Celso

    Tapered down % of wages paid by Spurs as the trigger conditions are met ??
    A fully compliant means of what Spurs desire, can be devised.

    There's also the fact that you could fit the population of Villarreal into our stadium and have 10,000 empty seats, which is why FFP is always going to catch up with Villarreal

    While their European exploits are enough to keep them punching above their weight so they can match or better the league finishes of Sevilla, Sociedad, Betis, Valencia, Bilbao and Celta Vigo, there's no escaping the fact that their 23,500 seat stadium is always going to shackle their finances - and given that seats about half the town, there's little point in expanding their stadium like Atleti, Sevilla, Valencia or Betis have, let alone building a new one like Bilbao

    I'm really sorry Villarreal, you can't afford Lo Celso. However, we do have a cheaper midfielder. I introduce to you, Harry Winks!

    As they clearly want Lo Celso, loan without an obligation works if we have a handshake deal on what they'll pay next summer

    Note I said handshake deal, not gentleman's agreement...

    There's (unsubstantiated) reports saying that, if Barca don't register Andreas Christensen or Franck Kessie by Saturday, due to clauses in their deals they'd become free agents

    Just saying, Christensen would be useful for our HG numbers...

    Also, it had to be built partially into a hillside so that the stadium doesn't spoil the view of the Downs. It is built in an area of outstanding beauty. Lots of planning and extra engineering involved.

    I do find it hilarious that the court portraits all appear to have Jordan Henderson in the dock

    Nacho Sanchis (Valencia correspondent for AS) claims that, if Valencia fail to sign Arthur Melo, they'll look to loan in Harry Winks

    While my concerns about Valencia I posted when Bryan Gil was mooted to return there on a full-season loan, as behind the scenes they remain a dumpster fire, I still maintain that Winksy is made for La Liga football and could revitalise his career

    His new home is about as far away from Scotland you can be before you're in the English Channel <laugh>

    4.8 million Scots in Canada
    Yes <laugh> BUT Scots have travelled a lot, there are as many in Canada as there are in Scotland for example, so Devon is just round the corner if you go by sea.

    Dan KP’s said a few things:

    Sarr and Gil could be loaned to aid their developments.
    Brighton have an interest in Reguilon.
    Ndombele been offered to Toon by his reps but Howe unconvinced.
    Tanganga could be sold for the right fee.
    Ndombele, Lo Celso, Reguilon and Winks are training individually and from different times to the first team.
    Club has accepted it’s likely they’ll move around deadline day/ final week - something I’ve suspected anyway.

    Diario AS claim that Sampdoria made a bid for Harry Winks, but he wasn't interested as he's waiting to see if anything with Valencia develops
