Summer 2017 transfer window or, waiting for Godot

[Joe Clash]

We have no chance of winning the league unless we spend £200m on unproven players, get with it Joe

I didn't start supporting Tottenham to see us win the league. I'd be extremely disappointed if that was now our aim. What are we now - glory hunters?

Not looking to get in the middle of anything but for the right price surely a talent that could be developed for a season or two and potentially offer versatility whilst Edwards and Onomah develop?

At age 24, not a lot of developing is going to happen. And if you want Edwards and Onomah to develop, you need to give them minutes. If you have Barkley taking up the minutes which they would be getting, how do they develop? It's a bit chicken-egg.

To me though, it boils down to I don't think Barkley is a talented enough player for Spurs, and I feel that buying him blocks the development of players who might be talented enough. Others will disagree. I am ok with that disagreement.

Juicy Sushi: Among PL players, but not when one looks further afield. Also, here's the problem with assists: they're not a measure of a player's ability. An assist is a pass converted to a shot that was scored. So the pass isn't what's being counted

I am placing you on ignore, not because i want to, but because there is not an icon called "shoot stupid mother fucker" .

"I've made my point 10 times but if I reword it slightly one more time I'll definitely convince everyone to agree"

Something about the way you've phrased that post. Agree.

I think we sign Barkley and if he turns out to be very good we probably win the league, if he turns out to be good/okay we finish Top 4.

If we buy no one and have a disappointing season the rest of the squad will start to think about moving on.

Are you kidding me? How good do you think that Barkley is? If he is the difference between winning the league or not. Why are we the only top club chasing him? I agree he would bring depth to our squad but nothing more. Probably he'll be in the starting 11, 50% of the PL games and score 5-7 goals for us throughout the season.

5-7 extra goals last season might have turned 4 draws into wins......

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Oh..so when the Premier league dished out the tv billions, they forget to include us I guess. Not to mention the Nike, AIA and other mega revenue streams.
So, we're not only in the unique position of having to use player sales to generate our only transfer funds, we now have to use player sales to fund the wages of those that are left.
Our financial position must be more precarious than I thought.

Welcome back

Thanks, Rocket some ITK stating we are interested in him

Since you are only allowed to play with 11(10 if we started with Fazio) players on the field at the same time. You have to take away the goals of the player that Barkley will put to the bench. Eriksen/Son most probably...

And that we dont want to do.

*don't buy players that are not PL-proven - too uncertain!*

*rely on our youngsters - who are not proven in any senior league - instead*

... the state of some of these anti-buy fools on here. ochfacepalm:

If we want youngsters to break through they need to be given a chance. We can't then have an England international first choice and an equally good backup playing in said youngsters position. KWP is one of our highest rated youngsters. And should he struggle if given the chance we have alternatives.

Damiao or the return of Paulinho?

I agree Baz, but these swap deals rarely happen, more's the pity. (Whatever 'more's the pity' means) I am cliche man all of a sudden. See, I did it again. Fuck.

Bet you're as sick as a parrot!
