Didn't read it sammy. I know you wouldn't have come up with a team who regularly wins titles & does not spend big.
& I know you have changed your mind lots to suit your argument, & you will change it even more if poch changes his.
You make up stuff like we want to buy a list of about 10 players & spend about 300m when not 1 person said that.
Throw in a straw man & you putting words in others mouths & that about sums up your posts.
Lets leave it there.

You did read it and had no answer so you posted this crap.

Yes let's leave it there. You have turned what was a heated yet interesting debate between others into a bad experience on the loo.
 
the constant arguing and bickering is pathetic on here every time i come on to the forum all people are doing is arguing about crap over and over grow up guys its embarrassing ,if you want to argue about absolute crap get a private room .
 
You said that we have to spend big on transfers. I said that I a) don't think we do, and b) evidence is clear that big transfer spending has no relationship to success. The club that spends the most on tranfers isn't the team that wins every time.

As I said before, professional sports, being professional, means that the club that spends the most has often the best chance of success. But the best chance doesn't mean that they always win.

Now, I notice you're eager to move the goalposts from just being about transfers, to being about transfers and wages. If you're going to suddenly change your argument after being wrong, try to have some honesty about it.

yes, but a team that spent big still wins it!!! no team has spent big & won it regularly!

nope, I haven't moved the goal posts at all. I said spend big all along.
I assumed transfers & wages were what people meant when they said spend big.
At the end of the day spending big should include wages & transfer fees for good business reasons.
it all comes under what you spend & invest on players at the end of the day. but muddy the waters if that's all you have left.

so now your argument is if we don't take in to consideration united's big wage bill then they count as a team who haven't spent big & won titles. weak.

Anyway. I see you will never admit that there is no team who regularly wins titles & doesn't spend big.
Lets end it there. Believe what you want.
 
Who should Spurs sign for £50 million this summer? Ross Barkley or Riyad Mahrez?

I would say neither. I think our only main concern is in getting some right back cover for the departed Walker. Having said that:

a) if Poch sanctions a move for either of them, that's cool with me.
b) it would be nice - but not essential - to find a CM that could provide decent rotation for Dembele and/or Eriksen, which I think Barkley is better suited to. I'm just not really feeling having Ross Barkley in our beautiful team.

You don't think Son and Lamela will be adequate cover for the season?
 
Because plenty see the value in not spending big. Who would you sign for big money? Douglas Costa? Isco? Are either of those players better than Kane or Eriksen? Because they would both be expecting a wage right at the top of our pile.
thank you! some would have you believe that no one on here doesn't want us to spend big despite all the posts saying otherwise.

Some people enjoy discussing things, and there's nothing wrong with that as long as it doesn't get too threatening or personal.

I don't think anyone has forced you to read it or any other thread on here.
