Ash Phillips to Plymouth for the season.
Matthew Craig to Doncaster for the season.
Djed Spence to Genoa for the season.
Eric Dier to Bayern for the season (but essentially permanent).

Timo Werner in from Leipzig for the season (with option).
Radu Dragusin in from Genoa for circa €30m.

Don't forget the agreement with PSG to swap Mbappe for Ryan Sessegnon and a packet of wotsits.
 
There’s a rumour that it’s a pay to play kind of deal.

I guess so (the anticipated appearances x
cost/performance probably equals what Levy
was asking as a full transfer fee) .

Somewhat interesting to see how Munich
try to play this (money vs on-pitch need,
god forbid them try to do a Levy-ing on Levy :) ) .
 
Someone on the sauce last night, SD? <laugh>
No

I know!

Perfectly sober, just duped by an apparently non responsive server that jumped into action minutes after I posted.
Only decision left is whether to delete the last posting and leave this whole episode as bewildering to new readers. :emoticon-0181-fubar
 
Why should anyone apologise to Levy?

What have I missed?
The Lunatic Fringe were getting really obnoxious 2-3 days ago when Bayern's interest in Dragusin was reported

Their main complaint was that if we made a bid earlier we'd have already signed him, as if Bayern (or Napoli) wouldn't have tried to gazump us then as well - sort of like how we tried to get Luis Diaz done quickly a few days before the January window shut a couple of years ago, but the second we bid Liverpool immediately offered a higher fee and higher wages

Yeah I don’t think anyone can blame Levy for that. Good players will always be pursued by multiple big clubs and you’re bound to miss out on some.

I’m pleased with the window so far. The club have been decisive and also got rid of unwanted players quickly too.

Looks like we’ll be seeing both news boys straight into action, Davies out for a month and Romero likely not to be used this weekend so presume Dragusin and van de Ven at the back. Lo Celso is also joining Davies on the sidelines (blimey, that’s a surprise) so presume Kulu will be in the midfield again as Werner joins pigeon boy and Johnson up top.

If Munich were in for Dragusin in the summer,
they would have signed him no questions asked.

So obviously for them he was currently an
"would be advantageous - though not essential" .

Time will tell as to whether the timing of the
window has been massive good fortune for Spurs.
