Spurs are not good with paying top wages
That's why they've never signed the real big players - even though they've paid more in fees in recent years and that's also partially due to the market inflation
As for guarantee starter - Pep probably didn't wheel out an assurance to Guehi or Semenyo about being a sure shot starter, Is Gordon playing over Yamal or 30 goal Raphinha
Heck Ekitike was signed last year to be the option to Isak
Nicholas Jackson went from being Chelsea first choice to knowing he was gonna be second choice to Kane
100m Grealish wasn't given an assurance he was going to start for city
