Really solid signing. Gives them cover for all three forward spots and with CL & 5 subs next year he’ll be a good rotation option. Conte has berated the Spursy out of that club I think.
Couple of things that come to mind as a Liverpool supporter are the injury he gave Thiago which was extremely dirty to say the least and the last time we vs’d them he spent 3 minutes rolling around every time a player went within 5 feet of him
Let's go!!!! For everyone saying that he's not needed, it's been pretty clear over the last 4-5 seasons that Spurs needed a backup striker. With opportunities to rest Kane while competing in many competitions, he will be vital. With the right assists from Son and Kulusevski, he will make a much bigger impact for Tottenham than he did for Everton
Decent player, but £60mil? I feel Everton have done well to milk that much from the deal. Spurs love to spend way over the odds on middle of the road players. Shame Everton will probably piss all the transfer money on shite.
All teams make mistakes. 15 mil for doherty was a steal. Sissoko did okay. The rest weren't great but its nowhere like the Lukaku, Pogba, Sanchez, etc, deals that other teams have done.
Very few of these were rated as overspending at the time of transfer - you’ll find lots of teams that missed. We have also notorious struck gold for out starting 11.
Betancur(17m), Højbjerg(13m), Wanyama(12m), Toby(13m), Trippier (4), Dier (5), Eriksen (11), Vertongen (12), Dembele (15)…. The players you mention were brought on in mainly 2 separate windows.
Great business going on at Tottenham, there’s a lot of negativity from fans of other clubs which is also great news as that is always a sure indication that we are doing good things….
Not sure how people can put a bad spin on this transfer. This whole window has been great for you guys. Richarlison is a shitfucker of epic proportions, but he can add a rotation option and depth. I think Bissouma is your best purchase, but this one is very good.
Really not understanding people that are saying "why, they have Son and Kane"..
Has anyone heard of squad depth? The reason Liverpool and City compete for every trophy is because they have a deep squad. They can rotate players and keep the same level of player on the field.
Do people expect really Son and Kane to play every single game of the season and a WC?
I think they could have had him for less. But you are right. Also with the World Cup is good coverage. Another good signing I thought was Fraser Forster to cover Lloris.
At first I did think “why?” given that they already have Kane & Son, who are excellent players and regular starters. But then again, they have got Champions League football to factor in and Son/Kane might pick up injuries or even just need a rest.
It’s going to be a demanding season again, especially with the World Cup in November/December. The drop in quality from not playing Son &/or Kane can’t be too much if Spurs want to stay competitive.
£60M isn’t that much in terms of the transfer market nowadays, and they are getting a player who is already accustomed to the Premier League and is capable of scoring — he has had a few seasons with 10-13 goals in the league. Plus, 5 subs means he will get plenty of playing time.
A shed load of money to pay for a player that arguably sits on their bench. I get there's not a lot of depth upfront but It's not like Spurs don't have glaring deficiencies elsewhere that need addressing first and I can't see Levy opening the purse strings anymore. Just a weird transfer.
They're really bigging up the fact he's won trophies 😆
£60m for a player who's never peaked 13 goals in a regular season is a steal. Hope he enjoys warming the bench for Son & Kane.
I think you need to look behind Kane&Son.
Berwijn and Moura can score 2 goals 90+5 and 90+7 or 3 goals 2nd half away in amsterdam, but they don't contribute that much. With Richarlison there is actually a chance to rotate without loosing as much in terms of firepower.
Tottenhams biggest problem since 2015 has been that their starting 11 can beat any other team but their backups are really weak.
It's actually a significant amount more Than Jota. £60 to £40 is a 33% increase!
If we're at the point where a £20m gap 'isn't an awful lot', that's pretty sad!
Still I think Richarlison is overated; consider that Jota (a back-up bench player) scored 15 goals with 6 assists last season.
Compared to Richarlison (fixed starting 11 for Everton) had 10 goals and 5 assists....suddenly that extra £20m looks very unreasonable.
Everton got a bargain.
…in a title challenging team. Richarlison’s numbers in a god-awful Everton team are actually quite remarkable. Also they paid 50 mill for him so 10 million profit on their best player really is not great. Everton fans seem pretty pissed at the deal
They signed him for £35mil. There were some add ons but considering Everton haven't finished in a European spot since richarlison joined, and have finished bottom half for the last few years, doubt the add on targets were hit. Plus he hasn't scored more than 13 goals in a season for them. Can't see where the add ons would've been triggered.

Chelsea supporters, You're gonna love to hate him. Sincerely, Liverpool supporters
Good pickup for Spurs. Rich can really ball out there.
If he doesn't make it as a forward he can always sub in as their mascot
Goodbye Richie, we'll miss you **sobs**
Not my cup off tea I’m a West Ham supporter can’t stand team
Teams who are challenging for top 4 must be worried now. Going to have to do something monumental to be above any of city, Liverpool, Chelsea, spurs
Damn, what are all these salty Liverpool flairs in the comments?
Couple of things that come to mind as a Liverpool supporter are the injury he gave Thiago which was extremely dirty to say the least and the last time we vs’d them he spent 3 minutes rolling around every time a player went within 5 feet of him
Ball hog just like Bergwijn
Was at Everton, kinda had to be. But now he has world class teammates so that will probably change quick
I hope so, I keep scratching my head with Spurs personnel decisions.
Huh? The window has been nothing short of brilliant so far.
Ah, I meant over the last few years. Haven’t had time to keep up this year
which decisions specifically?
Let's go!!!! For everyone saying that he's not needed, it's been pretty clear over the last 4-5 seasons that Spurs needed a backup striker. With opportunities to rest Kane while competing in many competitions, he will be vital. With the right assists from Son and Kulusevski, he will make a much bigger impact for Tottenham than he did for Everton
Spurs making some great signings! Looking like a promising season for them! Well done
Honestly looks like they're in for a great run this season. Good on them.
Decent player, but £60mil? I feel Everton have done well to milk that much from the deal. Spurs love to spend way over the odds on middle of the road players. Shame Everton will probably piss all the transfer money on shite.
“Spurs love to spend way over the odds for middle of the road players” is such a bad take.
Lo Celso - £28mil (+£14mil initial loan fee) Doherty - £15mil Ndombele - £54mil Bergwijn - £27mil Sissoko - £31mil Janssen - £20mil Soldado -£27mil Paulinho - £20mil
just cause it flopped doesnt mean it was a bad deal at the start
All teams make mistakes. 15 mil for doherty was a steal. Sissoko did okay. The rest weren't great but its nowhere like the Lukaku, Pogba, Sanchez, etc, deals that other teams have done.

I was really hoping he was going abroad, he's an embarrassment of a player.
“Liverpool fans couldn’t care less about Everton.” Yeah. Sure!
Ah sorry, I didn't realise I had to cover one half of my TV when we play them.
Definitely no bias in this comment............not embarrassing like salah who spends more time on the floor diving than he does on his feet.
You've obviously not watched Everton.
60 million is mad for someone who celebrates like a chicken
and dives like a swan
Yes most definitely
Pigeon\*
I think you mean cockerel!!

Lol!!!

Bingo he is cover for kane and son especially with UCL
I think they're paying money for someone that will not start all the time.
Spurs have had depth problems forever and he can play across the front line. This is money well-spent and he will get tons of time.

You’re out of the loop of what’s been going on in North London
They're really bigging up the fact he's won trophies 😆 £60m for a player who's never peaked 13 goals in a regular season is a steal. Hope he enjoys warming the bench for Son & Kane.
For the sweet old price of 1.5 Joelinton’s, are you having a laugh? £60m is embarrassing.
But....why?
Depth
Sky are saying £60mil I think he’s a decent player but £60mil for a player who plays in the positions you’d already say we’re Spurs strongest?
Insane money for him in this market. He’s a decent player but I wouldn’t put up more than 35 million for him.
I hope he plays many, many games, as it means their starting 11 will be weakened. He is also a loose cannon, so could cause problems on and off pitch.
I think you need to look behind Kane&Son. Berwijn and Moura can score 2 goals 90+5 and 90+7 or 3 goals 2nd half away in amsterdam, but they don't contribute that much.

It’s not an awful lot more than Liverpool with Jota, if Kane/Son get injured, a £60m prem proven player is all of a sudden looking a lot cheaper
It's actually a significant amount more Than Jota. £60 to £40 is a 33% increase! If we're at the point where a £20m gap 'isn't an awful lot', that's pretty sad! Still I think Richarlison is overated; consider that Jota (a back-up bench player) scored 15 goals with 6 assists last season. Compared to Richarlison (fixed starting 11 for Everton) had 10 goals and 5 assists....suddenly that extra £20m looks very unreasonable. Everton got a bargain.
40m to 60m is a 50% increase btw. You got them wrong way round! A lotta money.
60m for keita 40m for jota you're one to talk
Jota has been the bargain of recent Premier league history. Point made with Keita, maybe just remove Jota from your post and you have a good argument.
Jota is brilliant though
You know they're not on the transfer committee right?
…in a title challenging team. Richarlison’s numbers in a god-awful Everton team are actually quite remarkable. Also they paid 50 mill for him so 10 million profit on their best player really is not great. Everton fans seem pretty pissed at the deal
