Not sure I agree with the washed up part, but 30m for a 1 year loan is madness.

Bale for 100k a week? Hopeful punt
Bale for 300k a week? Massive gamble
Bale for 600k a week? Madness personified

Everyone has been hit hard by COVID decimating the finances. Plus it doesnt hurt to keep some money aside as the initial pot for next summer when mbappe will alledgly be leaving PSG (The Transfer Window podcast from last night). PL or La Liga no preference for him.
Depends whether Chelsea would actually sell to us
I have a feeling we’ll make an advanced move for someone today.
They've spent the past week negotiating for Reguilon only to lose out to Tottenham. There will be no movement this week, they need to return to the office and identify the next target.

Wrong, they need to consider possibly planning a new target. You're two steps ahead there.
What does "pre-emption" mean?
Advanced move towards monitoring?
First Refusal. If any club offers X amount for the player that Spurs are willing to accept, then Spurs must inform Real and if Real match that amount, Spurs must accept their bid.
I heard that it means they have first refusal or a chance to match any bid that comes in for him.
We're so inept in the transfer market.
As Fabrizio explained in his tweet
To me it's nothing... it's just a courtesy notice. Doesn't mean we have to accept the bid, right? They can offer 80 million and we can still reject. We just need to inform Madrid.
It's the buy back clause that's the one we should not accept.
So you want to have buy back clause? You are so inept!
Tottenham may solve Madrid's financial problems singlehandedly, they should also go for Jovic as the back-up the striker Mourinho so desperately need.
It means we have shit owners.
Preemption is not an issue. The buy back is the one in question and I'd be interested to know what the buyback transfer fee Tottenham have accepted.
If its under £45m they're stupid. If its over that I'd say it was still a good move and one we should've made.
They're signing him for approx £25m.If it was a potential double your investment in 2 seasons it's not bad at all.

It's apparently only €5/10m more than they're paying for him. Terrible deal and I'm glad it's one we're avoiding.
If that was true then yeah. Jose doesn't care about what happens in 3 years time so it probably matches Reals agenda.
Yeah it basically covers the salary they've paid him.
No. But City were always targeting 'only' Sane-replacement and two centra-backs this summer. Unless they move Jesus/Mahrez/Bernardo/Gundogan there's simply no space left for another players. And yes, City didn't close the gap and after that terrible pre-season they had + Pep being ridiculously stubborn + no improvement to XI I think this will be another season full of inconsistency.
True. Possibly another reason why City sanctioned only loan deals for Angelino, Harrison or Herrera instead of trying to cash in this summer. Next summer there could be Messi, Mbappe, Neymar and Haaland on the move and no doubt City will try to sign one of them.
I mean it's basically a 2 year loan. Not really that bad.
What kind of shit deal is that?
That's essentially a loan where you get to keep the player if he's shit....
Really terrible deal for Spurs
Because we don't want to help other clubs to balance their books or what? Should we try to get everyone on loan or with buy back clauses? What kind of long term planning is this
You've answered your own question!!
A deal whereby Spurs get a player who doesn't want to be there, and will lose him for cheap if Madrid want him back.
Glad we stayed clear.
A fancy loan. Unacceptable for us as a club.
You can see why we had no interest in that kind of deal. The club will rightfully get a lot of stick for this window, but we've done the right thing taking a step back from that.
Latest is spurs have just signed Requilon.
He works for spurs as they are desperate for a LB in the short term.
Let's be honest, despite their allusions to grandeur, spuds always will be a selling club. Given the number cruncher that Levy is, this deal makes sense for him but not for any other 'top' club because it pretty much allows Madrid to dictate the terms. Good luck to the player if he thinks playing under Mourinho is going to elevate his career!
Awful deal for Spurs. Also 30+5M? Really. It's basically just a loan. Surely shouldn't been more than 18-20M in this market.
“Great short team deal for Spurs” — would they even make any profit when you factor in Reguillon’s wage?
