What do you think of the signing? 😱 SUBSCRIBE & BECOME A MEMBER! 🙏

[DavidTan-qyfo]

To make it clear....we did not sign him...we only have the 1st option if we want to sign him in the future.

[EvanPirrotta]

Its a sweetener in a deal where Betis wasn't going to be able to meet our valuation for Gio, we get a buy option for us or a sell on clause if we don't trigger it. Clever way to get a bit extra value is gio goes for 6ish m..

[palaneproductions]

Brazilian born in USA.. moved to Brazil aged 3 months.Obviously eligible for USA.Could be a good signing.

[JurdTV]

Cardoso is class. I’m an American so I’ve watched a ton of him. Great time of it in Brazil and looks like a great tactical fit. Ngl, didn’t know he was in our radar and that our scouts thought highly of him lol

[rhysjaggar]

This sounds like a way around the impasse that Betis wanted Lo Celso for free and Spurs wouldn't budge on demanding a fee. So as I see it, this is Lo Celso to Betis for nothing now, but in exchange either Spurs get this guy for whatever price they agree with Betis or they get a percentage of any future sale as an in lieu payment for Lo Celso's signature.

[hyperrat]

I was always skeptical of him as a US fan, but every time he's played for us he's done well, he's always done well at club level too. I almost only ever hear positive things about him, so if he lives up to the hype then I'm all for it!

[sydneysider]

Sounds like a way around the Ange clause that he gets final say on signings. Could be just a novel way for Betis to bring the Lo Celso price down. Could also be a way of building a portfolio of future players options for spurs? Is there a value included if the player gets injured?

[paulhumphreys]

Option? PR I never see him in a Spurs shirt!

[robertwren]

The way i see it we got money for Lo Celso but also off our wage structure! Am i right in saying we have 2 players coming in January that we did deals for in this window that maybe has been overlooked?

[gimipupo]

What a waste of time, its like going to Tesco at Easter and even if the easter egs are all sold they will keep one back under the counter for me, but if i already got one from Sainsbury's we get a discount or part refund on a future purchase

[NicolaPolito]

We literally didn't sign him..We have an option to buy him in the future for around 25-30 Million.

[fuzzykhan]

I hear he is the next Basquets. COYS!! Great signing

[TomWeir-vo]

Watched some video's, he actually looks like a very good, well-rounded defensive midfielder. Good defensively and attacked minded. Box to box in some ways . Prepared to run at players when he gets in forward positions. Good age. Maybe an under the radar talent.

[JohnDoe-tvzf]

It’s not a signing ...we will get % of future sales for the player if/when he is sold or we will get the first option to buy him in the future

[doubleplusdanny]

Levy bought a stake in a player that plays for another club.
He isn’t a Spurs player.

[Tuan-FistofFury]

Trying to get more players out is the goal

[MS-ozwv]

Confused to why we wanna part buy him in case we change our minds to get a sell on fee rather than getting him now! 🤦🏾

[lipuleniMichealnghidinwa]

Dnt wrry, reguilon will soon go tmmrw thn we get Peter's or verdeson back

[russzippo]

I’d like the lb/ lw that is lightning fast at borrusia dortmund.
