umm, hang on, I cant think of one now. umm, I must have made it up. sorryWhat player is that??
Because, dont ya know, not so long ago we spent over 20mill on a player who turned out to be a flop. So we must never, ever pay such transfer fees again
That wasn't under Poch, you helmetumm, hang on, I cant think of one now. umm, I must have made it up. sorry
your right mate... but if I make the argument that we should spend some serious dosh if we want to be serious challengers I usually get howled down with "And look at what happened last time we splashed the cash" responsesWe've signed three players that were over £20m+ Soldado, Lamela and Son. Bobby whilst a lovely bloke, did flop somewhat. Lamela has taken three seasons to really settle in and can be considered a success albeit we had to be patient. Sonny the jury is still out on him, but again if we are patient it might pay off.
It was under Levy, who has the final say on what we spend. you nasty little outed woolwich mania member you.That wasn't under Poch, you helmet

So Levy is responsible if a player turns out good or not? You're thicker than 2 planks it seems, annoying little mouth-breather - log off for a while and go catch Pokemon or somethingIt was under Levy, who has the final say on what we spend. you nasty little outed woolwich mania member you.

Your not quite getting this are you, my little gooner friend. No one is saying Levy is responsible for how good or bad a player develops. OK. Let that sink in first....got it now....good.So Levy is responsible if a player turns out good or not?

Well well, Mr fucking Popular, what a patronising cunt you really fucking are.Because your mindset is that carelessly spending money buys success, and calculated purchases cannot.
You seem to have a bit of an issue understanding the simple reasons why your statements aren't popular. Reminds me of a guy in Florida...
Well well, Mr fucking Popular, what a patronising cunt you really fucking are.
Some disagree with me yes, others agree, as you can easily view for yourself. And where did I ever say we should carelessly spend money. I just question Levy's enthusiasm for success sometimes. Think we could do more. Whereas if you caught him shafting your missus up the kyber you'd be convinced he was acting in the best interests of the club

Everyone should have known why Pochettino was brought in and what he does by now.That wasn't under Poch, you helmet
A friendly and we'll thought out counter argument. I can accept that. I disagree with you using the likes of Palace and Southampton as benchmarks though. No comparison to Spurs, Europe's 11th richest club. A much bigger club with a much bigger fan base with far higher expectations, and rightly soEveryone should have known why Pochettino was brought in and what he does by now.
We seem to have got 3 decent players for £39m under Poch in Alderwiered, Janssen and Wanyama.
Then again we could have bought Bolasie for the same price.
The stadium is getting built Johnny and that costs money. The lodge is getting built, more money.
Pochettino is here to use the academy and supplement it with decent signings.
We have never been £30m club bar one year. Yes the TV money has increased but a chunk is earmarked for the other stuff.
Everton sold stones for £50m so that means they should be spending £160m this season surely.
For all their bluffing Spam have spent the same as us.
Saints have bought 3 players for £27m and sold £57m, really splashing the TV money there.
Palace have spent £50m on 4 players and sold £43m so far, TV money Haemorrhaging there.
I think the TV money is mostly spent on wage bills.
Cunts like Conte meaning about the state of the transfer market and how the mad fees are making it 'difficult' for him.
Obviously knows fuck all about how that all started & Chavdom.
Chill doubting Thomas.
Yeah...I do not like to use those as examples, but Liverpool have always been able to spend more than us, and the other 4 we have no hope of going toe to toe with in fees and wages atm.A friendly and we'll thought out counter argument.
