It’s a big day in the transfer market, with some huge fees having been paid by Tottenham’s rivals.
Manchester United made Paul Pogba the world’s most expensive player at £89m, while John Stones is now the costliest defender on the planet having joined Manchester City for £47.5m.
Stones will be replaced at Everton by the £12m signing of Ashley Williams. Meanwhile, Spurs fans have been feeling pretty smug, as they sit back and admire our own talented squad, that was assembled at bargain bucket prices. Here’s how they reacted to the day the transfer market went nuts.
Mangala £40m, Otamendi £32m, Stones £47m. Meanwhile Alderweireld £11,5m. Let that sink in..! #spurs #ttid #coys pic.twitter.com/d34rSrrdeJ

Someone at Tottenham should basically be knighted for getting Alderweireld, Alli, Dier, Eriksen and Lloris for less than £50m combined.

Man City paid £50 million for John Stones. Play the ball over the top of him and hes worth 5th of the price. Toby Alderweireld a class above

In a world where Pogba costs £89m… we managed to snatch up Dele Alli and Eric Dier for a combined £9m.

Ashley Williams is costing Everton 12million meanwhile we only paid £11.5million for Toby Alderweireld, Daniel Levy really is genius.#THFC

Tottenham signed Dier, Alli and Alderweireld for £20.5 million & Stones is worth £50 million, yeah okay mate

Stones + Pogba = £136m
Alderweireld + Alli = £16m
Yet people still slate Levy for his transfer dealings? #THFC

We’ll speaking of transfers latest rumor has it that Memphis isn’t in Jose marhinuos plans I can’t help thinking he would fit in nicely in the rotation if united would be willing to let him go for less than 25 mil
I thought about Memphis too but poch wouldn’t even consider him because apparently he has an attitude problem and poch does like players that can potentially cause problems
And as much as I love dembele he isn’t as good as pogba and he’s much older so that’s a crazy statement even though I too love spurs I’m realistic pogba isn’t worth nearly what was paid however
How bout isco that would make a statement of intent and real are willing to sell
pogba will be a good player for PL but not good as so many other midfielder is much better then him , just an ordinary MF . see what he can bring to MU , i doubt it
All we need is another cam. Eriksen is our only bright spark of creativity. Lamela has skill and Alli is box to box. Isco would be great!
I think we are overlooking the youth coming through. Winks, Harrison, Walker-Peters, Onomah, Carter-Vickers and the big one that I am looking forward to…Edwards! Little Pele that kid! The future is bright…the future is Lillywhite!
Be patient with Ryan mason.couple of long injuries last year set him back a bit
The season before he was very good.he can get us a couple of goals with his late runs.
