Maybe its us delaying it, as we have a cashflow problem until we get Romero and Vicario etc out the door?

One curious thing is we're not linked to any other LWs, other than maybe Gakpo. And we can't going into the season with Tel as our only LW, esp as he's arguably our best CF at the moment too

In recent years we've not had as many leaks, a fair few transfers only came out a day or two before they were finalised. Just maybe we're not interested at the price City want.

We might be in a situation where we want to make sure we've got players guaranteed to be heading out the door first before dropping another 60/70m fee.

We've spent big, and can't now be left with players we can't shift or backed into a corner and having to accept a brick deal for us because of deadlines.

Or the fact that City only just appointed their new manager and maybe he hasn’t yet decided to sell him, especially so if they don’t have a replacement lined up. City may not be the draw there were with Pep so getting the transfer of, say Diomande, over the line could be more difficult than previously.

Yes. But that’s not a cash flow problem.

Maybe you could be right. I’m basing what I’ve said on the reports that City want to buy a replacement first. They were said to be after Diomande. But I concede that it’s possible that we are waiting, or happy to wait, until we have sold other players.

Either way, it’s been dragging on since last summer. So just want it to be done or we walk away and focus on another target.

Think Diomande is joining Real.

They had to sell daddy's art collection to pay for the two midfielders. When's the next auction and what family silver is bankrolling our signings this time?

You are such a sensationalist and fantasist.

Joe sells some thing and that now means that he’s sold the art collection to fund spurs … you really are a nitwit sometimes honestly.

I know you don’t like the napos you have made it very clear but your agenda against them is just stupidity.

Lewis family might invest more in Spurs via ENIC to acquire a greater share of the club and facilitate more transfers but this money goes into their bank account .

Sotheby’s sale of works from the collection of billionaire financier and former Tottenham Hotspur Football Club owner Joe Lewis racked up £249.3m, which comes to £296.3m with fees, making it the most valuable single-owner collection ever sold in the UK, and one of the strongest auction results globally this year.

When we were interested in the January window the talk was that Semenyo was his replacement. I think it’s most likely a combo of things: new manager (for City), us needing to shift a few first, maybe he’s not our first choice etc. Meaning neither side are actively pushing.

What I’ve found interesting is that if you take Romano out of it, there hasn’t been a huge amount of independent reporting on it. Most reports trace back to him as a source. He’s been continuously pushing this. For instance the last time Ornstein reported on it was back in December.

As they say in Hollywood, the only thing anyone knows is that no one knows anything.

£200M to the Lewis family is like £5k to a regular person. There is nothing but the timing to suggest they are related.

Today's valuation, not sure if they have added in the £200 m yet.. :)

Well it would be included either way. Doesn’t include the kids either. And worth knowing that the most informed on the Lewis family beleive there is a split between Joe and the children.
