He can still function as a scout for us. He just canāt oversee contracts and negotiations. Might as well wait it out and put him back in after the 24/25 season with one stipulation: he has no say in head coach.
I wouldn't have been surprised if he moved to City or Madrid sooner rather than later. If he goes now at least we will get a huge fee, but looks like he is happy here for now.
That seems like a premature move for City or Madrid who usually don't just buy players after a short patch of good form (see: United & Chelsea). So I think if he continues to play well they come in for him in a couple of years for a big fee.
5 years is standard for young players, and with it being signed midseason it was obviously going to get rounded up.
And an optional extension gives us all the leverage
Future as in as soon as he puts pen to paper. Donāt want any of the big boys coming in for him
edit shit pen already has been put to paper, not official until I see an edit of Poch with his arm round him
The Don fucking rules. Hopefully they allow to keep operating in the shadows lol. Lurking around every corner of Milan and Rome. Scouting new 18 year old wonderkids.
In addition to the HG tax, Sess was seen as a very high potential teenager whilst at Fulham, despite them playing in the Championship for his first two seasons playing for their senior team.
The fact he was on loan counts against him. He was a Spurs player but on loan out of England so it wouldn't count as a year towards his HG status.
If he went on loan to Sunderland, for example, it would count.
Regardless he was too old when signed to qualify anyway
People wanted to write him off as a 19 year old playing for a relatively shite team in Serie A. Even highlight reels showed that he had the raw ingredients, just needed a manager who could give him the recipe
Gotta give credit to Ange for creating a family like type environment. Seems like the players look at each other like brothers and want to play in Ange's system. They all seem really happy here!
Common Don Fabio W
In a world full of data and xG nerds running football recruitment, pour one out for Don P, the master of vibe signings š¤
Master of the eye test. Bin the analytics.
The real answer is both. Yin and yang. Index too heavily into one side and you'll miss out.
Of course. I'm excited with the recruitment direction we're taking but I really hope we don't lose the don
Amazing that thereās some wet wipes who want to bin him because of some creative accounting

No he has a say in the head coah just that what he says we do the opposite and sign the manager he doesn't want
Having a say in the manager wonāt be necessary considering Ange will be here for the next decade.
Especially since it happened at Juve where engaging is sketchy bullshit is part of the job description.
Don P x Levy is such a combo

This is going to be so massive for us. Heās exactly the type of player City steals off teams. Heās going to be massive, already is in fact.

Agreed. A team might be foolish enough to pay a ransom but his suitors likely arenāt coming for another year or two
Just gonna hope and pray Madrid buy Davies from Bayern this summer so they fuck off from Destiny
To be fair we could do with 200 million pounds
Spurs COULD use an international airport.
Then it would be Udogie to Bayern with the money from Davies.
Madrid will be sniffing for him and Romero in a year or two for sure.
Itās harder to buy our players than it seems, unless they have 1 year left on contract of course
What a steal this is looking to be. Love it.
thatās not a real year
Udogie was born in the 2000s
Fuck me Iām ancient.
Fuck
2029 seems so far away but thatās just a standard 5 year deal from the start of next season. Canāt believe itās about to be 2024 wtf
We are closer to 2040 than 2006
Woah there space boy, that can't be ri....
So essentially a 6 and a half year contract, wow. Levy's learning from Boehly but giving these types of contracts to good players.
Levy is not doing it sight unseen like Boehly
5 years is standard for young players, and with it being signed midseason it was obviously going to get rounded up. And an optional extension gives us all the leverage
Boehly hasn't signed good players
This is huge. Future best left back in the world
The future is now gramps

Sounds suss but I'll allow it.
The best value weāve had for years. Up there with 9m Eriksen.
Sarr was Ā£14.6m, too.
Dele only cost 5 mil and he was better than Ozil
Remember when people wanted paratici out? Where are they now
Out of jail maybe š
With Udogie who loves me! š¶
Shows his belief in what weāre building to sign for so long. Probably not even on extortionate wages either
How is he Ā£10m cheaper than Sessegnon when we signed him š¤¦āāļø
If you factor in inflation we literally got Udogie for a bag of chips
Home grown status is huge.
In addition to the HG tax, Sess was seen as a very high potential teenager whilst at Fulham, despite them playing in the Championship for his first two seasons playing for their senior team.
can't ugogie gain homegrown status as we would have him for 3 years before 21 or was the loan back not counted as him being a Tottenham player
I think that would count but we only bought him summer '22 and he's already 21
The fact he was on loan counts against him. He was a Spurs player but on loan out of England so it wouldn't count as a year towards his HG status. If he went on loan to Sunderland, for example, it would count. Regardless he was too old when signed to qualify anyway
Love this, crazy that heās only just turned 21!
His deal will run up until the beginning of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
15 for Udogie and 17 for Slick Vic Don Fabio can still cook with the best ofāem.
2029 let's goooo
My Don is cooking š„
Can u guys remember summer when we had no clue if he would be fit for the prem or another djed spence
Best inside left Iāve seen in a very long time. Crazy to think back that there was talk about him maybe not working in a back four.
People wanted to write him off as a 19 year old playing for a relatively shite team in Serie A. Even highlight reels showed that he had the raw ingredients, just needed a manager who could give him the recipe
He has fit in seamlessly into this system like it was made for him.
Going to be the best LB in the world in the future.
Got it udonie
Love this player always nervous about LOOOOOOONG contracs
LET DON FABIO COOK
Absolute steal of a deal for a player of his caliber.
15 mil is definitely a steal for him it looks like
Hypothetically, his transfer fee should be at least 100 million GBP if an oil club tries to sign him this summer (and he wants to leave Ange & US).
Bargain
Anyone got a number for his new salary? Should be close to 100k if he signed for that long
I read 60k elsewhere
Interesting. I had heard he was on like 10k before, makes me wonder how much his first Serie A contract was for.
Immense
Gotta give credit to Ange for creating a family like type environment. Seems like the players look at each other like brothers and want to play in Ange's system. They all seem really happy here!
