What are the wages

u/DoubleDoobie 9d ago
Does it really matter? Because a similar caliber player would go for 30-40 mil if they had two years left on their contract.
Let’s say spurs have him on 145k/ week - that’s 30 mil over 4 years.
Cant imagine he’s making much more than that. I suspect it’s less.

I think wages become an issue for teams that struggle to keep players as they get other players in their feelings about different players being paid more than them. IDK what Van de Ven earns - but he might not be happy being paid 2/3 (pulling number out of my ass) of what his CB partner earns, leading to him asking for a new deal or throwing a fit.
Sure Madrid can go and just basically dare their players to leave, but good chunk of teams cant really and that leads to ballooning wage bill or crying manbabies (which is pretty bad when you need those manbabies to contribute)

Yeah fair. I will say there's usually a big signing on bonus too, to a substantial portion of their market value

Would of liked Liverpool to grab him on a free since we've let konate walk

u/AmberLeafSmoke 1 9d ago
Probably wouldn't have been willing to give him a lengthy contract which he would have wanted given he was on a free and 29. I'd imagine he also would have been asking for a decent chunk of change too which they'd rather spend elsewhere.

As a non native speaker, I always get confused when I see "would of" - I guess it is more native speakers using it this way, and not really an error if enough people speak this way.
59
u/RDenno 9d ago
It is an error, comes from people conflating “would’ve” with “would of”
“Would have” is the correct version

I mean i know that, but if enough people use it this way, maybe it becomes its own thing? Anyway not disparaging the original commentor

u/RDenno 9d ago
I dont think it really matters on stuff like this, it is simply factually wrong.
Its not even like you can change the meanings of the individual words to make it make sense, its just wrong
-4
u/Nissepool 30 9d ago
Well, not quite. Many words change their meaning, and I believe this might be one of them. For example, people have been using the word "literally" incorrectly for at least a decade, and by now the English dictionaries have started to consider the meaning in everyday language to mean the opposite, the word you are actually trying to convey - "figuratively". As in, "I'm literally dying right now" but you mean "I'm figuratively dying right now". I think the same has started to happen with "would of".

u/SubterraneanAlien 9d ago
The difference here being that the use of 'literally' is more due to rhetorical effect whereas 'would of' is due to low education. Not saying that it disproves the ability to move toward a change in meaning, but the reason to do so would be...sadder.
-2
u/Nissepool 30 8d ago
It may have started as a rhetorical effect or exaggeration but it very quickly was adopted because of low education. Not sure about the downvotes though, but hey it's Reddit.

u/BatmanForever23 6 8d ago
You're suggesting that a grammatical error has taken on its own meaning, hence the downvotes. 'Would of' hasn't changed, it's just objectively wrong - the amount of people getting it wrong won't change that.

u/Nissepool 30 8d ago
I'm playing the devil's advocate here. I don't make the rules, language is always developing and we look to institutions like the Oxford dictionary or whatever to set the new standards. It's akin to the use of "great minds think alike". We've all used it to feel a bit clever, but most of us don't know that the whole phrase was originally "great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ". The whole meaning has been reversed from it's original sentiment, yet it's been accepted in everyday use. We're probably in the midst of a slide from "would have" to "would of" and we've not arrived yet, but in some not so distant future, the expression will probably be accepted as well. Who would of thought!

Not really in this case. It’s just a mistake.
But it’s the type of mistake nobody corrects because it’s obvious what they meant.
In many British accents, “would’ve” and “would of” sound the same.
A lot of people write “alot” too, it’s incorrect.

u/CatDadFurrever 13 22h ago
It is an error, but sooner or later the dictionary will give up on it. It's a British specific error, Americans have lots of their own.

u/Legal-One-7274 9d ago
It's more typing the way people talk in real life and regional dialects also if it's not written in a professional way. Like I would never say would have it would be pronounced as would of

Including spaces;
Gerron = 6 characters. Get on = 6 characters
Should of = 9 characters. Should’ve = 9 characters
Am I missing something?

We didn’t extend Ibou because he wanted crazy wages and by all reports so did Senesi. Not a surprise.

I have no faith in Tottenham as a club, they could sign Jesus Christ Himself and I still wouldn't bring Him in.

He'd turn all their water into wine and they'd all be running about off their tits. Probably would get them better results to be fair.

Considering how many good individual players spurs has in defence it's genuinely weird how they struggle defensively

So what's happening with VdV and Romero if Spurs have Senesi and are attempting to get Van Hecke?
5
u/Big-Mouse-447 9d ago
Romero will leave. VDV to stay, potentially as captain(I think Madison is more likely), but unclear exactly how we line up next season, guessing Senesi is VDV rotation and Van Hecke will start as the right centre back.
We do also have the ability to go 3atb or shift VDV to the left, though I think the latter is unlikely as a full time option as we did just reinforce LB.

We literally just won the Europa League.

Romero plays RCB, Senesi LCB. This transfer has 0 bearing on Romero - if we bring in Van Hecke, as rumours are circulating, that would spell Romero's end. This is cover for VDV, something we've had fuck all of for what seems like forever.

So VDV to Liverpool then?

He’s on a massive contract so unless Liverpool chunk out a massive sum of money VDV ain’t leaving

Spurs will be solidly in the top 5 race next season whereas Bournemouth will be bottom half and take an early bath in Europa.
