Transfers January 2018 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Moura aside. Sessegnon has not only not come to us, he's not gone anywhere. Fulham must be stonewalling the fuck out of everyone.
Even though it's including us, good for them.

Every Spurs-related transfer thread features 3 things:
1. Pining for a fast wide player who dribbles a lot.
2. Someone saying they want Bale back.
3. An argument over GAAP accounting vs. accrual accounting.
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.
I want Pav back. Pav and his sumo suit.
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.
Spurs need to do a legend team like Ajax have and send our guys out to do battle with the old has-beens of Real Madrid and elsewhere. Half the time it'd be the same damn players, but hell, it's one more chance at all the happy times.
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

So fans who want Spurs to win trophies are cunts?
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.
If any Spurs fan, who isn't currently a resident of Lorient, actually offers an opinion on them, I think everyone else can safely shun them as a bullshit artist of the first order.
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
an unseasoned 18 year old who looks like the love child of Sideshow Bob and the lead singer of Korn. yes it's legit, it's us
I find it intriguing, like with Foyth. A lot to play out but like the forward planning, if that's what we are doing.
