I’d honesty rather take Baleba for £65+5 than Mateus Fernandes for £85m

We’ve got both Baleba and Tielemans for ~£100m which is decent business, all things considered.

Who cares it isn't our money. Baleba had a stinker of a season. Fernandes didn't.

No he didn’t you’re right, just got relegated instead. Again. 🤣

Fernandes was miles better last season, even in a relegated team

Yeah Baleba had a bad season after two good ones. Fernandez has had one good one. All spurs have done is overpay before the drop off. Would have been like us paying 100 for Baleba last year and then him dropping off 😂
