Transfers January 2018 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Really? I'd say he's had 3 real flops: Sissoko, Nkoudou and Fazio.
That's compared to roaring successes such as Toby, Son, Alli, Wanyama, Dier as well as the more objective Davies and Trippier who I'd call successes. I don't think his purchasing is that bad at all.
Stambouli, sissoko, Fazio, janssen, njie, nkoudou and llorente not good enough.
But you are right. The ratio is more for every one that it’s good one it’s bad. I was a bit harsh.
 
Bang on the money mate.
Do Liverpool invest all the money in players

If I am correct they’ve made money with a net spend of minus £28m this season
Last season they were in negative spend.
We have spent more than them last two seasons
Since 2007/8 they have finished above us 3 times and won a league cup.
We have negative spent in 7 of those seasons.
They have done it 4 times.
The first time they did it in 6 seasons, last year, they got top 4.


We sell players and we buy players with the money
Not unlike what everybody else does.
You can’t just keep adding players. You have parameters like wages and percentage of income.
Of course I’d be surprised if all the money we make goes on the squad. We have been building other stuff.
We ain’t Man City. We can’t build complex’s without it impacting on our spending.
Yet to say we don’t put as much into our squad as most is nonsense .
We don’t spend a far lower percentage than any other club on wages and fees.
The more TV money, commercial sponsorship income you have the more you can spend on wages and fees.
We are no different from Liverpool selling players to buy.
They have sold more of their stars than us in the last 7 seasons.
Compare us to them as they are the closest to us in revenue yet we are still £100m behind them in revenue and £100m behind in wages.
 
Taken me an hour. But I got there . RE.
Re-investing what you make in sales. No added investment from other income streams etc.....
Finally..., finally we've got there

Who said added investment? Stop adding new elements that have fuck all to do with the argument.
I said we invested in the team by buying a player.
You've been royally totaled on this......I like the way you are side stepping the Oxford dictionary and its definition of the word spend.

Because thats proof that Spurs have spent, and you have got the meaning all mixed with something else.
Please deny this....please tell me you are right and the Oxford dictionary is wrong John. I beg of you....I know you are tempted.

Net spend, Gross spend, added investment, re investment. You've choked on your own irrelevant and incorrect definitions of spending.
Thats why I made a very simple car sale scenario (you know what that means...the word "sell", dont you? Because Im starting to wonder if you think that if Spurs sell a player and we make a loss, then we have'nt sold the player. Thats the level of your fucked up logic)

I thought it was very basic and foolproof......I guess it was just basic

That'd be the Danny Rose special, then. In fairness, it's not like decent players haven't come up from Ligue 2, just not really too many 18-year olds.

I can't see this being a kid expected to start games right away for us.
His name cropped up around New Year, a CDM by all accounts. Reports were talking a Dembele replacement, no real idea how close or wide of the mark this is.
 
So fans who want Spurs to win trophies are cunts?

Seems like someone's tampered with your wiring again.

Anyway, what with us working this hard to sign Moura, you can now backtrack in front of everyone for how wrong you you were about CM being priority.
Unless you think prioritising means doing it later.
Yet again, your ideas about the club turn out to be very, very different to Pochs.

Awkward
 
Almost done according to this bloke based in Paris
