🚨⚪️ Mateus Fernandes, new Spurs number 18 after £85m move completed.
“I'm very excited for this next step. Spurs is a massive club and De Zerbi was a key part of why I have decided to join.
“When we spoke, it was very special. We look at football in the same way”. 🔗🔥
If you want to pay £85m for Mateus Fernandes & give him £250k per week, good luck to you. If you want to pay £100m (!) for Sandro Tonali & give him £300k per week, good luck to you.
It is the Ed Woodward guide to transfers for dummies. If people want this & think it's the strategy to take, they have learned nothing from the past decade of horrendous transfers & bloated wages.
Shiny toy syndrome & 'by any means necessary' is a recipe for disaster - it is not a sustainable strategy.
