I prefer this option, but I've come to the conclusion no one in the media knows what we are doing at all.

Sounds like Zubimendi is willing to go, but Sociedad making a final effort to keep him.

So after letting Rothe join us and rumors linking Brunner & Mouki yo departures, BVB are giving Kabar a real shot at the LB job.
We’re apparently working on other-Union’s Sadiki to bolster our midfield.
Hoffenheim have reportedly made a bid for ABK

Good, it made no sense to swap him and (checks notes...) leave us with one striker...

I want him to do well not just as a Spurs fan, but you see him doing everything he can to be the best player he can, he always gives 100% (the 2/3 of the time he is healthy) and he wants to be at Tottenham. Fans should love him.

Tessmann's agents messing up two moves in one summer. Probably why Venezia are asking a pretty reasonable fee for one of their top players.

I like him a lot, I think it's no coincidence that Inter looked for him. In my opinion, Florence would have been an important stage for further growth, also because unlike Milan it would have found a lot of space. However, he is a player I will follow this year.
Solanke is better than Richarlison, but I love him on Spurs, so I am glad he's staying. He's one of those loudmouth punks who thinks he's better than he really is.

Chelsea seem to have lost some confidence in Slonina given this:

Forget Slonina. If they are dropping 20m on a goalie a week after they signed Jorgensen then Jorgensen better watch his back. They’ve spent nine figures on keepers. Just another one to throw on the pile. Just another one that probably doesn’t have a path. Just like Slonina. Nothing but a tool

A malign star kept him

Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
It can only make sense if you think of it in terms of building an asset portfolio, because that is how they are thinking of it.
There are very self-evident reasons why a professional athlete should not be considered to have the same (relative) guarantees of value accumulation that an other asset would, but these people are not smart people.

You know you'll get an immediate profile boost from signing (helpful in future career moves), and worst case scenario is that they end up on loan in another top league from which they can hopefully bounce off to a solid club on a permanent.
I think that must be it. Because the wages being offered in this enormous Chelsea spending spree have not been high. The one thing I will give BlueCo is that they have really diminished the wage bill, which made it very hard to move dinosaurs out.

The young ones are probably cheap enough where it's not all incentives. And in all honesty, we do a decent job of moving them on, so it'd not like their is a history of just killing careers.

Why buy one when you can buy 5. Worst case they only increase a bit in value and you make a little $$ when you sell them off. Best case, one or two of them hit and then you better the team or make a lot more $$.

As I have said prior. Chelsea do not purchase players for their first team. They invest in young players and hope to make profit with them in the future. Obviously they will keep the better player in the end but getting 10 players for one position it seems pretty obvious they are not all of them for the 1st team.

It’s classic private equity strategy. Buy a ton of companies you think can grow. Some will, some won’t. Hit big enough on the hits and shed the misses for some cash flow.
