Reading in to it a bit more, a large part of the reason Chelsea paid the money they did for him was De Zerbi as he was the manager at Shaktar when Mudryk was playing there so who knows ?

Wow, i would actually rather have Pulisic than Murdryc whatever. Richie screwed us bigtime. Asks for a move, we grant it back to a club where he's a legend, he holds itnup and then shitcans the whole deal. Saudi may be in his future.

Mudryk was quite the player at Shaktar & I was very impressed watching his highlights before going to Chelsea. At the time, I wasn't aware that RDZ was his manager. There's a player in there but after his sputtering start at Chelsea & being suspended for some time, not sure we may be able to find that player in him.
Furthermore, being reported that it is a straight loan, not much risk in it for us but if RDZ does find that player we've simply developed him for Chelsea.

He's now expected to stay apparently, but he's had a few words to stay ..
English ..
"After everything I've been through in the last few years, I decided that NEVER AGAIN would anyone decide my future for me. I went through a lot of bad things during that time, and almost all of them happened because of decisions made by other people. Pressure, threats, retaliation—none of that scares me. I've been through worse things... believe me! I've always made it clear, at every opportunity, that any move of mine to another place would also have to be good for the club. If it wasn't, I would never accept it... just like I didn't accept it when everything here was falling apart and they needed me. I stayed and gave my life. So, I hope they treat my situation with the same respect that I've always had for the Spurs and for all the people who worked with me during this period. Just don't try to decide for me."

It's just maybe his best (paying) option right now...

Tosin is homegrown, Danso is not. That’s is why

We've rebuilt the squad and had a transfer window the likes of which we've never seen before as fans but, of course, all of that will be forgotten in favour of complaining about what's happened in the last 12 hours ..

At least richy cares. More than one can say about a lot of them. That's pretty much the only thing he has going for him though

Jamie Carragher on Manchester City signing Iliman Ndiaye for £65m:“I think this is one of those transfers everyone will look back at in a year and ask how Manchester City were allowed to do it.
£65m sounds like a lot of money until you look at what £65m buys you now. We’re discussing £80m, £90m, £100m for players who still need time to prove they can do it in the Premier League.
City have bought someone who’s already doing it here. Ndiaye can play off the left, off the right, come inside, carry the ball, press, work without it. You’re not buying him and then spending six months finding out whether English football suits him.
And that’s what I envy about it. There isn’t really an experiment. Put him on either wing and tell him to play football.
People will look at the glamorous names City have signed over the years and probably won’t get as excited about this one. I would.
Because if Ndiaye goes there and becomes even 20% better than the player we’ve watched at Everton, £65m won’t be the number people question.
They’ll be asking why nobody paid it before City did.”

Spurs were having a really well planned-out summer transfer window, at first quick and decisive and then patient with their attacking targets. However, it's all finishing off in a bit of a frantic grab and go fashion, as it will for most clubs. The Cody Gakpo situation has had a big domino effect in first Spurs wanting him but being usurped by City and then City in turn being unable to get the Dutchman from Liverpool so instead jumping across for Tottenham's next choice Iliman Ndiaye. It means Spurs have had to drop down their wishlist and Kevin Danso asking to leave was another spanner in the works. I think De Zerbi and most fans would rather have kept him over many of the alternatives. I just about get the Mudryk thinking as squad cover if, and it's a big if, De Zerbi can get the best out of him again after their Shakhtar time together, but it would only make sense if Spurs then had the option to sign him after a loan. All in all, still a £400m Tottenham transfer window like no other, and there's still tomorrow. Who knows what deadline day might bring.

This is a joke right? 75m?

He was decent, if not top, CB at Fulham. Got lost in the numbers at Chelsea. We barely paid anything for him & now we have a bit more size at the back.

I think this is an interesting take on the Mudryk transfer. Worth a read ..

I agree but my concern was RDZ utilizing him, maybe getting the best out of him, & then giving him back to Chelsea. That quoted 75m is ridiculous but if Mudryk catches fire, that fee may not be so bad given the way prices have been this summer.
