Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Too many people have been sucked in to the theory that football only matters if you win trophies, it’s fucking sad. This is the best performing Spurs team of my lifetime by quite some distance

Sorry but it's you that's been sucked in by this narrative of buy no one at all and succeed.

Might as well call us Woolwich and at least they showed a sense of intent.

God forbid ambition.

The worst thing is we may buy a player and numpties will think that's enough.

4 or 5 of quality to compete are necessary in my opinion.
 
"HAPPY PAGE 700 EVERYBODY!!!!"

We are pretty far behind city and Liverpool. The gap won’t be closed in one summer. We won’t spend fortunes. 120M max I think.

It’s not levy good or evil and Poch good or evil.
Disagree with you there mate. Liverpool were behind us last year, found their weak spots, and were rutheless enough to replace them. We should do the same with our full-backs. Meanwhile, our midfield situation isn't as much for replacing as it is to add both quality and numbers to an area that we lack depth.
 
So what exactly do you want from this window?
Players that will get top 4?

I thought people lost their shit with the owners because they wanted to challenge the elite and we needed huge investment to do that.

I’m asking you when do people start to ask if the manager is good enough, if he gets everyone he needs and we still scrape 4th and win nothing

You sound content to be a nearly man as long as we sign players?
Surely finishing worse off with a stronger squad isn’t ok?

Firstly we will struggle to get top 4 again if we don’t strengthen, we relied on others fucking up so that is that part of it.

Ok then I assume your defining success as winning that title or CL or is it any trophy, does the LC or FA cup count?

If I take the league even with a big window we are still miles behind City, I would expect if we had a big window to get more points and maybe 2/3 in the league but for us to overtake City would require a massive window, us being amazing and City fucking up, that’s a very difficult proposition.

We stay still we go backwards, we have a good window we can hold our position, we have a great window I would expect us to push for 2 with Liverpool as our rival.
