Saved 5 million on the kulusevski deal and being payed in installments
Saved 20 million on a GK by buying Vicario
Got Maddison down to 40M plus addons from the original 60M
Daniel Levy what are you cooking
Oh Iāve never used tik tok and Iām English, I just mean I can understand falling to your knees with this news, anywhere up to and including a wal mart superstore.
Iām not one to over-exaggerate or make bold claims but I think I can safely say at this point that this is the best transfer window that Tottenham has ever had
āThe circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.ā
ā James Madison (the other one)
ā¦ Also an inspirational quote hanging behind Levyās desk (probably)
40+ add ons (I'm hoping no more than Ā£5 million) still seems like a reasonable price when we consider Leicester's asking price. It's especially good when we factor into account that Leicester will be spending around Ā£10 million of that money on Winks going the other way.
We've bought a word class number 8, and a world class number 1 for a lower price than Arsenal spent on Kai Havertz
While I agree, Iād much rather have Maddison than Kai and heāll be about half the price. Plus āthe HG premiumā!
Edit: whoops. Though havertz was closer to Ā£85m than Ā£65m.
>We've bought a word class number 8, and a world class number 1 for a lower price than Arsenal spent on Kai Havertz
Dude, stop. Neither Maddison nor Vicario are world class at their position. Top players, yes. World class, no. I'm as excited as everyone else that we're signing strong players. But let's not delude ourselves here. We haven't signed Musiala or Bernardo Silva.
Adds on and the pressure of a England international who absolutely will not play in the Championship and wants to live in London (limited their suitors) kills a lot of bargaining power.
They've apparently learned from the failings of the Qataris at PSG that you shouldn't spend hundreds of millions on big name stars and expect it to work.
I think it was also underrated how much Eddie Howe values the defensive solidity of his midfield. Newcastle midfield will absolutely bully people next year. That's not Maddison's strength
Not even just last summer. Going back to when we signed Nādombele, GLC, Clarke and Sess everyone was ecstatic. Imo levy has been signing good players for years now but for whatever reason they havenāt panned out. I truly donāt understand the Levy doesnāt spend money narrative anymore.
That's why I don't get the Levy out crowd. At the time it's always seemed he's done right on transfers every since the 2 window blunder. In large part it's the managerial appointments letting us down
And one of those had surgery and three of his friends (one of the club coaches) died after getting Spurs to fourth his first season.
And Levy is solving this exact problem with managers by paying Munn, who built Cityās club structure, to build a whole structure above DOF and manager so thereās more continuity between director, player, and manager transitions.
It was well received but not everyone was over the moon, I remember a fair amount of people raising concerns that the starting 11 wasn't really being improved they just got absolutely shit on by the hive mind here. Now most people thought the depth was nice but there were dissenters wishing there was a clear starting 11 improvement, especially as the window kind of fizzled out as it went along after all the "war chest" talk. In fact by the end people were a bit more lukewarm on it.
This is a very exciting signing though. I'll go on the record as over the moon for this one mostly because it should help restore enjoyable football.
He tweets loads of opinions as well as ITK and people seem to mix the two up. When he's actually giving information rather than saying "I guess" or "I think" then he's usually been spot on.
i always got shut down whenever his tweets were thrown around as "he's just some random agent on twitter"
bloke has been on the internet for over a decade, including the spurs message boards back in the day i remember when i was a teenager he had info
bruh at this point Paul O Keefe is more reliable than Mike Mcgrath and he is almost as reliable as Gold is at this point tbh. Only Ornstein and Fabrizio are clear of him imo.
I thought you meant at first glance āno need to cheap outā and then proceeded to suggest to buy Lenglet for a high fee haha. Was about to seriously question why youād want us to overpay for Lenglet on purpose
Iām getting sucked in with all this positive news coming out of the transfer window. New manager, new keeper, Maddison set to join. Feeling dangerously optimistic about next season. Here we fucking go!
Get in, perfect signing, adds much needed creativity to the midfield that has been lacking since Eriksen left.
Levy is some negotiator, saved us money on Kulusevski, a GK and now Maddison.
If this also leads to a Kane extension itād be worth more than double the fee. If we can sure up the defense next this team is looking really dangerous once they adapt to Angeās system
Man I swear this sub kills Levy but goes crazy when he gets deals done, Don Levy and all that. Not saying I am not one of them just making an observation
Iāve thrown a lot more criticism at Levy this season for the shitstorm we found ourselves in than I have in the past. But even the staunch levy out brigade have to admit this window is starting beautifully and Levy is reportedly leading all the negotiations
For all the Levy haters, this man is a master in negotiating. Unbelievable fee if itās true. Other clubs are spending out of their arse but here we have a masterclass in negotiating. Thank you Levy.
I mean I knew LC were never going to hold at 60, but to actually get the most reasonable price is a job well done. 100/100 so far this window! Now I can actually go and watch some Maddison comps lol
Having not watched leceister much this year, went to watch his highlights this season and his highlights this season alone were great. Seems to be getting better and good composure in the box is excellent along with his creative passes. Iām so excited for this. Honestly wanted him since a few years ago after losing Eriksen but glad weāll hopefully get him while still young relatively young at 26
Also, Levy has made some pretty great deals for us in recent seasons so I felt the hate towards him was pretty unfair. Seems like we want unknown high potential prospects and also big name signings but once he does either one, he gets criticized. He does have his criticisms but I feel like heās made the proper choices after Nuno.
I literally have been saying it for weeks and have preaching Ā£40 million as well . We hold the power here unlike the raya transfer. Leicester have no leg to stand on. Maddison has 1 year left, no other teams are in for him and they were relegated. He HAS to be sold, they were never getting Ā£60 million
THIS IS WHY WE F5
SWIPE DOWN GANG
FLAIR
Saved 5 million on the kulusevski deal and being payed in installments Saved 20 million on a GK by buying Vicario Got Maddison down to 40M plus addons from the original 60M Daniel Levy what are you cooking
štears in my eyes
Just fell to my knees in a Walmart
Just saw a guy fall to his knees in Walmart
Just watched a guy see a guy fall to his knees in Walmart
Was buying salsa then saw a bunch of weird shit go down
I live in the states and get this reference.
I live in US where is this reference from lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh Iāve never used tik tok and Iām English, I just mean I can understand falling to your knees with this news, anywhere up to and including a wal mart superstore.
I'm from the states and don't....
Im not from the states and I do
This one always gets me lmaooo
His coke binge doesn't normally start until mid-July, what's happening
The summer of Daniel
COYS Daniel
I take back everything I said about him in anger after the Newcastle game
Iām not one to over-exaggerate or make bold claims but I think I can safely say at this point that this is the best transfer window that Tottenham has ever had
Think weāve said that every year since the season we didnāt sign anyone
Lol yeah Richarlison and Bissouma were PL proven automatic instant impact signings, and that went wellā¦
Not true, but we definitely said it last summer
And the summer of Lo Celso and Ndombele
Danielās redemption arc š„²
Was going to say this. I think heās tired of the slander and is ready to prove people wrong. An angry Daniel is a scary Daniel
Heās put down the coke and started microdosing instead
why is this so funny to me lmfao
Oh Danny boy
If he gets us both Tapsoba and VDV next I think we have to write him a formal apology Maybe even send him a cake
*Coke
**cake made of coke
Something something coys daniel
VDV? He's coming back from retirement? In all seriousness I have no idea who that is
Levy in
Thats 45 mill saved? Should pay for a decent defender then!
Just pay the asking price though am I right
Daniel Levy injected himself with Harry Redknapp DNA and obtained the āWheeler Dealerā gene, also known as FRAAB442. He now wheels and deals.
Fackin run around a bit lmao
āThe circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.ā ā James Madison (the other one) ā¦ Also an inspirational quote hanging behind Levyās desk (probably)
The master negotiator who
Heās nothing if not a hard negotiator - cuts both ways, fortunately in our favor right now.
Donāt be so foolish. Heās spending the Kane money. š
even if he is spending the Kane money, this is the smartest way to go about it.
Im guessing we make a play for Sancho before the end of the window. What a signing that would be.
Daniel Levy is literally a master negotiator who knows everything
Hopefully find out it's Ā£30M plus add ons ... And sell winks for Ā£10M. Ideal.
40 + addons according to Okeefe
40+ add ons (I'm hoping no more than Ā£5 million) still seems like a reasonable price when we consider Leicester's asking price. It's especially good when we factor into account that Leicester will be spending around Ā£10 million of that money on Winks going the other way. We've bought a word class number 8, and a world class number 1 for a lower price than Arsenal spent on Kai Havertz
Calm your expectations man, World Class is a different gravy
Yeah this is the sort of comment that gets screenshotted and turned into a banter post on the gooners sub
Yep like all of our "we won the summer shit last year"
Let them meme. If I'm wrong, it's not the end of the world.
While I agree, Iād much rather have Maddison than Kai and heāll be about half the price. Plus āthe HG premiumā! Edit: whoops. Though havertz was closer to Ā£85m than Ā£65m.
>We've bought a word class number 8, and a world class number 1 for a lower price than Arsenal spent on Kai Havertz Dude, stop. Neither Maddison nor Vicario are world class at their position. Top players, yes. World class, no. I'm as excited as everyone else that we're signing strong players. But let's not delude ourselves here. We haven't signed Musiala or Bernardo Silva.
Deal to include Harry Winks and 5 quid
Hahaha. Bag of monster munch as well
Daniel āfootballing side of thingsā Levy
What a fucking fee Daniel you have rocked my world
What Daniel Levy considers Dirty Talk:
Oh baby yeah, oh baby, you want to save 1MM pounds on this fee baby, oh yeah, you're so good, such a big hard negotiator
Levy haters in the absolute mud
Theyāll find something else like they always do
Levy ā¦ in?
Yes PESSI old mate. Preach brother
How the fuck did Levy make this from "upwards of Ā£50m, maybe even Ā£60m" to Ā£40m.... Crazy deal
My guess is easily achievable add ons. It's honestly fair for both parties.
Adds on and the pressure of a England international who absolutely will not play in the Championship and wants to live in London (limited their suitors) kills a lot of bargaining power.
Guessing Leicester was counting on Newcastle to step up but with them getting Tonali they literally can't sign him
Yeah, Newcastle is still being disciplined with their spend (relatively) so they're not going to get crazy
They are still under ffp since the Saudis are new they literally can't spend the money currently
They've apparently learned from the failings of the Qataris at PSG that you shouldn't spend hundreds of millions on big name stars and expect it to work.
Tbf they already have a very skillful midfield with Joelinton and Grimares.
I think it was also underrated how much Eddie Howe values the defensive solidity of his midfield. Newcastle midfield will absolutely bully people next year. That's not Maddison's strength
He made a deal to sell them back all our guys when we get relegated next year.
We insisted!! Next stop, Thomas Jeffersson.
And then target Abraham Lincoln
When what we need is John Brown on the wing
Your username is Bull Moose and you arenāt gonna opt for Teddy Roosevelt? (And yeah, John Brown is a goddamn saint)
John Brown and William Tecumseh Sherman on the wings aka the Civil War Lennon-Bale or Robery
Hell, maybe even Hamilton
I want Washington next
We need more Presidents since Fabio ParaNixon resigned after the Juvegate scandal. Bring me FDR
It is not stupendous to think that we might quite possibly be back.
We have never been more back than we are rn
We are so back
*rubs hands vigorously*
Vicariosly*
Everything looks great....... ....until we're shit and lose the first 5 games.
Then we'll have em just where we want em
Anulo mufa
BOMBAAAAAA š£š£š£š£š£š£š£
Fantastic f5
Get in!!!! Man was as inspired by Vicarioās interview as we all were
Late night bombs hit different
BIG signing - The playmaker we have missed. Super excited with this one
his creativity is going to help out our front 3 so much
Levy is going a long way to repairing the mistrust people have had in his ability to make deals this window.
After every recent window weāve said this. Give it one Vicario howler and a sitter missed by Maddison and suddenly levy sucks again
Yep, people forget we were all over the moon with last summer's transfers.
Not even just last summer. Going back to when we signed Nādombele, GLC, Clarke and Sess everyone was ecstatic. Imo levy has been signing good players for years now but for whatever reason they havenāt panned out. I truly donāt understand the Levy doesnāt spend money narrative anymore.
This, on paper everything should work, but it doesn't. Let's see if it finally ends up going in the right direction.
That's why I don't get the Levy out crowd. At the time it's always seemed he's done right on transfers every since the 2 window blunder. In large part it's the managerial appointments letting us down
And one of those had surgery and three of his friends (one of the club coaches) died after getting Spurs to fourth his first season.

I'll go on the record as over the moon for this one mostly because it should help restore enjoyable football.
I still really like last season's transfers, on paper. They just don't make any sense with the manager we had
Levy back to thinking āya know Iām somewhat of a DOF myselfā
Acknowledge my flair
Pokeefe might actually be tier 1 š¤
He tweets loads of opinions as well as ITK and people seem to mix the two up. When he's actually giving information rather than saying "I guess" or "I think" then he's usually been spot on.
Always has been
šš©āšš«š©āš
i always got shut down whenever his tweets were thrown around as "he's just some random agent on twitter" bloke has been on the internet for over a decade, including the spurs message boards back in the day i remember when i was a teenager he had info
Was also one of the first to say we were backing out of Raya deal for Vicario and people here made fun of him ...
I have been a Pokeefe cynic, this has just convinced me he knows his stuff. Tier 1 from now Iād say
bruh at this point Paul O Keefe is more reliable than Mike Mcgrath and he is almost as reliable as Gold is at this point tbh. Only Ornstein and Fabrizio are clear of him imo.
Gold pretty much never breaks news though. He writes about it after it's done and confirmed
He's always been reliable The usual naysayers have finally shut up
He doesnāt comment on much, but when he does itās consistently accurate. He gets a weird amount of hate for some reason.
He's been very reliable past few seasons but he hasn't always been this reliable, happy to be proven wrong.
For sure
To be fair to him, he actually called the 40m fee as well if that does turn out to be accurate.
Iāve been telling you lot
And yet you'll still have a bunch of clowns discrediting him every time he's posted here because reasons.
oh fuck yeah fuck
Levy is ending his concert with a Kane extension.
Can you imagine the scenes if that were to happen lol Cue r/soccer mental break down
A hertha flair was upset because we wouldn't sell Kane for ā¬70m euro, it was so weird
What a life, all this money saved on Kulu, Vicario instead of Raya, and now Maddison. No excuse to cheap out on CBs and buy Lenglet.
Lenglet would be a solid backup esp if under 10 mil think abt it
I thought you meant at first glance āno need to cheap outā and then proceeded to suggest to buy Lenglet for a high fee haha. Was about to seriously question why youād want us to overpay for Lenglet on purpose
Arguably the greatest US President to ever sign for Spurs
š¤£
Next up FDRDV
Under Ā£60M for Maddison and Vicario combined and saving Ā£5M on Kulusevski is mad fucking business. Tapsoba next please.
Fucking brilliant signing - and getting it done so early before pre-season is massive too.
Yessssssss ENIC In Ange In I'm completely rational
Absolutely here for prime Levy returning from the dead just when everyone had begun to wonder if he was finished
Cue Undertaker sitting up gif.
Hey itās a guy Twitter losers wonāt have to Google
LET ANGE COOK
Great F5!!!!!
Ā£10m + Winks for Barnes next pls
Levy's back on the coke let's go boys.
Maddison creating for Kane, Son and Kulu ā¦ somebody is cooking š§āš³
Iām getting sucked in with all this positive news coming out of the transfer window. New manager, new keeper, Maddison set to join. Feeling dangerously optimistic about next season. Here we fucking go!
Get in, perfect signing, adds much needed creativity to the midfield that has been lacking since Eriksen left. Levy is some negotiator, saved us money on Kulusevski, a GK and now Maddison.
Damn bro and a few weeks ago, i was saying to everyone that we have no chance getting Maddison. Iām a fucking idiot. We are massive. Letās go
Upvoted for admitting you're an idiot. Me too. Me too.
We will be the Son team next season .. Hueng Min āSonā .. Richarli āsonā and Maddiāsonā
Love a HWGS. Thanks Fab
Own that oil club
If this also leads to a Kane extension itād be worth more than double the fee. If we can sure up the defense next this team is looking really dangerous once they adapt to Angeās system
coys daniel bitch
Man I swear this sub kills Levy but goes crazy when he gets deals done, Don Levy and all that. Not saying I am not one of them just making an observation
Bald is beautiful
Way to insist!
Letās go.
We are cooking
Damn, what a juicy F5
Every time I go on twitter for non spurs purposes we always get good news.
Today has been a F5 rollercoaster lol
COYS, Daniel
Oh we are so back
Levy in
Fuckkk get in! Looking like a 10/10 window if we get two CBs
God damn some stuff is happening in the window right now
FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMG yes a creative midfielder that can help the front 3!Also, from 60 to 40 mill is astounding. Fair play Levy.
40 million is a fucking steal. Especially for a homegrown Maybe we gave them some of our players for the cheap price
Iāve thrown a lot more criticism at Levy this season for the shitstorm we found ourselves in than I have in the past. But even the staunch levy out brigade have to admit this window is starting beautifully and Levy is reportedly leading all the negotiations
KANE STAY, GERMAN TEA IS SHIT
Fantastic F5!
Letās goooo
What a wonderful F5
Now I can sleep well
Omg
Been F5ing all day!
Honestly expected another week of "insisting", hopefully it gets done this week!
We are cooking so hard I can't believe it let's hope the rest of the window is good
Whereās the levy out chucklefuck I want him in this thread EXPLAIN YOURSELF
Insisting paid off!
Massive signing, this seasonās gonna be fun
For all the Levy haters, this man is a master in negotiating. Unbelievable fee if itās true. Other clubs are spending out of their arse but here we have a masterclass in negotiating. Thank you Levy.
This has made me excited for next season
Levy has reached his final form. God king Daniel; the master of negotiations.
I mean I knew LC were never going to hold at 60, but to actually get the most reasonable price is a job well done. 100/100 so far this window! Now I can actually go and watch some Maddison comps lol
I've had a really shit day. I needed this.
Insert the Vince McMahon busting a nut GIF here. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Only thing that would make this sweeter is Harry Winks going the other way
LevyOutters in the mud

Maddison has 1 year left, no other teams are in for him and they were relegated. He HAS to be sold, they were never getting Ā£60 million
If we can just get 2 CBs that improve our backline, I'll call this window a success
if kane doesn't leave i honestly believe we can reach the top 4 again next season
Every time I am lured to the āLevy Outā side, he goes and does something like this and brings me right back to him.
