That's my biggest issue. Pay the 75 and move off a defender. Would have left us all summer to sell Rojo or whoever. Much easier. Sandro is more understandable because he clearly wanted to give Shaw one last go and id rather he made it then sign a left back.
It's not scattergun, board have just been slack
That said, no one should let Jose use it as an excuse, because we have more than enough to be a huge threat, if used properly. His excuses won't save him
It's all a bit odd, even on the Spurs and Daniel Levy side of things because what do they benefit from keeping him this summer really? Levy knows he's losing money which on past experience he never lets that happen.
Only thing I can fathom is perhaps Aldiweireld will be sold abroad but that doesn't seem likely, especially at a fee we would of paid this summer.
