Spurs apparently in for Dzagoev, at least according to his father.
I wonder how much they'll be spending this window? Don't think Villas Boas is capable of doing much on a limited budget. Some people are saying 70+ million...
Well 70 million is not out of reach with player sales, Modric of course will likely fetch £30+ mil. Furthermore, since transfer fees are not immediately credited in the accounts but amortised over the life of the contract, from an FFP point of view it would be possible for a club to spend heavily in one season and then cut back over the next few seasons. Wages could prove a stumbling block given Tottenham's traditional restrictions in that area, it may well be that the quoted figure includes wages over the life of the contract.
In addition, there is the possibility that tottenham are pursuing the same strategy that brought down Leeds back in 2000s, spending heavily in anticipation of Champions League revenues covering the costs. Unlike Leeds, Tottenham have a competent owner who I believe is very wealthy and thus should the plan backfire it would likely not result in a Leeds situation, Tottenham would merely have to tighten their belts for a few years.
By far the most likely answer is that Tottenham have a standard budget and they are linked with lots of players because teams are always linked with lots of players, in the end they will sign a few for reasonable prices and all the talk of 70million budgets and what not is just made up speculation.
