Player Valuation: £35m
Dembele from spurs shouts are awful.
Bloke is the type of signing we should be staying away from. Too old and plays for spurs who expect ridiculous fees for any player - deluded.
Zero resale at his age. We’re trying to bring the age down not up with injury prone oldies!
I agree, nobody at all is suggesting that Dembele isn't a really good player, but Spurs would want a big fee (presumably), he would want big wages and he's 31 - even if there weren't question marks about his legs, it's the kind of financially irresponsible deal that Walsh would have sanctioned.
Unless he was on a free transfer I wouldn't even be considering it, but I accept he is many times better than what we have in midfield currently.
The last two years should have taught us that if we are buying players for big money, they need to be young enough that they will retain value.
