How can he still be injured?
How many weeks has it been now; ten?
And he is still miles away from getting onto the grass?

I think he is contract and mental health is the "issue".
We can't afford £10m for a few more games.
Plus he has been exposed to some very dark things and he is only going through his personal mental recovery.
I think if we could arrange a cheaper fee with Spurs, he will be in the squad
Surely it is in no one’s interest to put obstacles in the way of his recovery and return to football. I cannot understand why Spurs wouldn’t agree to push back the number of games that triggers the next payment. They have agreed a price to let him go, they have taken him off their wage structure so they can’t lose. However given our predicament are we trying to reduce the payments, I can see why Spurs would baulk at that.

It’s 7 games that triggers £10m as far as I know.
You know within 7 games whether it’s worth the risk or not.

I don't mind that approach, they might even be using it as a cover for his mental wellbeing, there's some idiots amongst the fan base who will struggle with the concept of his ongoing mental health struggles.

Objectively, why would Spurs come to the table for renegotiations?
Are we resigning the 'loan' with additional years (at a different salary) and different payment terms? They would not get the payment if we restructure the deliverables within the current contract length...

Then, from when ever he's fit, We / He have 6 games to decide if he wants to stay and / or is good enough to justify £10M
To get a possible something instead of a definite nothing.
Because if we play him 6 or fewer times this season, they get no fee.
It's not a loan, and the player will become a free agent in June. I presume Everton or any other club would be free to sign him at that point.
I obviously don't know the situation, but given our finances, I'd imagine it's fairly unlikely we intend to play him the number of games that will activate a £10m payment clause.

But it would mean something if the contract itself is renegotiated, but we don't know anything about his current game (training or match-wise). The only way is to actually consider the payment as a 'loan fee' as a possible something. Could be, hmm....

Yeah but why would Spurs even come in to negotiate, if we add on more games or reduce the first payment fee it would be ditto. Spurs should have something to gain within the current contract length right...
