Oh well, that's that then
He's sold, unless he fails his medical, but that's photoshopped and reports suggest he's not due at Spurs until tomorrow.

It’s ripped straight off the club website and Bissoumas profile page

With 12 months left on his deal, to get a figure of £30m (pretty much doubling our money on him) is a fantastic deal, IMO. Why is it embarrassing going to a club who will be playing the CL next season, have a world-class manager and quite an exciting squad. As far as the squad situation without him for us, we've got Caicedo steadily developing into a player who will probably have a higher ceiling than Bissouma. We've got Alzate to further develop and give more game time to. Mwepu will likely be even better with a) hopefully less injuries and b) a year's worth of PL experience under his belt.
Additionally, you've also got to look at the recent record of the recruitment ream in bringing in players such as Cucurella for less than £20m. If they replicate that bit of business for a player in Bissouma's position, the money raised could quite conceivably buy a replacement - with some change.

All valid points but will be ignored by the person you are quoting as they are a Leeds or Palace troll.

Agree totally, just to add, we've also got plenty of young midfielders coming through the youth ranks
We can't replace Yves like for like, but the midfield unit still looks strong to me. My first choice midfield 3, would be Mwepu, Caicedo and MacAllister. Plenty of cover there as well, Lallana, Gross and Alzate. Moder will back in, in due course. I just wonder if we'll bring through Kozlowski this season as well

How soon is now?
I'll never forget the bit where he's keeping the ball up on his shin. I've tried that and I managed 1
That will be coached out of him at Spurs. A touch on the shin requires you to roll about aka Kane

Gave me goosebumps when I first saw that, it still impresses me. Loved his time here. Fabulous player, fabulous song

Because he should have gone to a REALLY top club like the mighty pure_white champions Leeds United?

Not seen such Bravery!
You do know Caicedo is his replacement with Kozlowski still to arrive from the production conveyor belt maybe in a year's time ?
Don't forget Undav and Mitoma have joined the squad, also maybe van Hecke, so we are already not doing too badly for new players.

Kozlowski is only 18 and contracted until 2026. Plenty of time for him.
I said to my dad when we got promoted that all I really wanted from our Premier League adventure was to have some wonderful footballing moments and for the Albion to sign a few gems who will go on to be world class.
Whilst the club have undoubtedly delivered the first part, Bissouma absolutely embodies the second part. We signed this exciting diamond in the rough and watched him turn into a continental level player wearing the stripes. I've got no doubt that Spurs will probably be another step towards the top of the game for him and he'll end up at one of the really big clubs in Europe. Great player, great song, glad to have seen so much of him in the flesh.

Told a Spurs mate they had a top 4 position guaranteed now. He smiled and said he knew because he’d seen Biss perform at the Spurs stadium this season. Damn!

I seem to remember that when Biss first came to us he showed promise but was played as ACM or a box to box midfielder ? Wasn't it after quite a few games in that he was moved to the DM role and I also remember him getting 'caught out' a few times overplaying early in that role and getting some well deserved stick from the bench.
Absolutely top class now due to the work he and the development team have put in

It's not even as if that's the only options.
MacAllister has had some incredible performances when playing DM.
And then there's Moder, I was perfectly happy with him being Biss's immediate replacement, up until the injury.
