Cody Gakpo to Spurs is the debate splitting the fanbase — so Jim, Si and Stu settle in. Stu has watched Gakpo since his PSV debut and explains why the Brennan Johnson comparison misses badly, Si brings the numbers, and the panel asks whether £70m is really the problem people think it is. Also: the research showing homegrown players carry a 40% price premium (the "Premier League tax"), why "best striker at the club" is exactly Richarlison's problem, what's dragging Romero's £34m fee down, how much control De Zerbi should have, the academy reset behind Archie Gray's armband, and where Spurs finish if Gakpo and Savinho both arrive. A review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts would make us very happy.
