    I know there has been some eyebrows raised on Spurs' spending this window but something else to note is the number of outs happening.

    Bissouma has gone on a free transfer, Palhinha & Kolo Muani have returned to their loan clubs, but sales are happening a little more freely than they used to be.  Vuskovic gone £50m (B&HA), Dragusin gone £25m (Fiorentina), Veliz gone (back to Argenina) £10m, Alfie Devine (Preston) £7m.  Just short of £100m back in the coffers.

    Rumours circulating about some others in the squad.  We're expecting a good few more gone before the end of the window.  It could end up a very different looking Spurs squad.
    Dragusin went on loan with an obligation to buy next year if certain clauses are met, so you don't have that 25m yet.

    I'd have thought it almost certain that Romero is sold after the world cup. 

    I still think you need a striker, it's all very well spending a fortune on the midfield but if they've got Solanke or Richarlison up front then it's not ideal.

    Spurs have always weighted the loans with obligation heavily in our favour.
    The criteria will almost always be met.

    As for Romero, I'm expecting him to go.  I think a lot of us are done with him, I know I am.  However, there's been a lot of talk last couple of weeks that RDZ may be wanting to play 3 CBs as he did at Marseille so who knows.

    Totally agree with you at the other end.  Richarlison has only got 12m left on his contract now.  Apparently he wants to stay but I get the feeling that may be taken out of his hands if an offer comes in.  Its very clear Spurs are looking for front men but there seems to be a shortage of them at the moment.

    Although Junior Kroupi looks a talent and had a brilliant start to his PL career at Bournemouth, the asking price of £100m+ for 1 season and 12 goals seems mental for a 19yo (but the going rate to be fair!)

    There's rumours about Kane coming back.  Haha, can't see it happening myself.

    I'm sure he'll back this season.

    To watch an NFL game  ;)
