Yeah sure I agree. I said that in here multiple times. We address our weak spots with top players like they did and we will win things or be very very close.

Well I'm a full grown man. I got pubes and everything.
Yeah why not. Or even a choice of aurier or trippier. Obviously if both would go. Trippier more likely than aurier I reckon.
Any trophy while not dropping out of the top 4 is success
We’ve had a squad more than capable of winning a domestic cup and finishing top 4 for 5 years now and failed.
When is it on Poch?
This would have been a valid comment 2 years ago. It's been the best performing Spurs team in my lifetime as well, but its been that way for 5 years now. Is it not time to strive for more?
Will you hold Levy accountable if we spend nothing and fail?
Yeah, I'm thinking Bale playing golf in Madrid for the foreseeable future is just fine. Something tells me Poch wouldn't be a fan...
Ok real talk. If Poch, Megan Markle, and Arsne Wenger are drowning in the Thames who are you gonna save?
It's not black and white. For instance, people say we were lucky to make top 4 last season. Others say that we were unlucky with injuries, the world cup, stadium delays, etc..
Our goal should be compete in on all fronts, but ultimately, the PL and CL matter more than anything else. If we invest in the squad but don't win a trophy the season may be failure, or it may not. It may be Poch's fault, or Levy's, or the players. In reality, it's a bit of everything.
Well I’d bang Megan so...
I don’t think that’s Poch’s remit, he at least from old quotes which I can’t be fucked to dig up looks at doing as well in the league and CL as priority over the FA and LC.
Would him prioritising the FA and LC suit you more?
What exactly are you basing this on?
If he doesn’t back the manager doesn’t he deserve to be criticised?
And the win trophies talk why now? Isn’t too 4 good enough?
I have ignored the last few Transfer threads but being reading these last few days. The number of comments is unbelievable and I doubt many can read all of them.
My view is that we have lost Dembele and Vorm and therefore need to address replacements. We clearly did not have enough strength on the bench for many matches last season and need to add to the squad.
If we lose more players then they must be replaced. I will not get involved in how much we should pay. A few pages back it was pointed out that our best players did not cost big money. Someone suggested we should employ Leicester's Scouts which may be a good point. Surely it is the Scouting that has been lacking these last 2 years. Where is the next Eriksen or Dele in our list of targets at reasonable prices. Nothing wrong with paying £63m for a top player but still a place for a good player at a more reasonable price.
I do not watch a lot of non Spurs football and cannot tell if our targets are good which is why I am reading this thread, not to listen to arguments on how much we should spend. but views on whether a target is any good.
Homegrown over foreign players is important and I would be reluctant to sell our Homegrown players for this reason.

If someone gives us £140m for Eriksen then I say we should be where Liverpool is at within 12 months.
Our squad has been strong enough to win a domestic and finish top 4 I said.
He would not have to prioritise it.....are you saying the team that beat Ajax couldn’t have won the Carabou by now

Oh ok I get it now thanks
Please try and tell me that we need Ndombele and Lo Celso to win the Carabou?
We just got to the CL final and finished top 4 playing shit.
Pretty sure we could have finished 4th and won a domestic at our peak.
But that’s right, Poch played Son at LB in the final didn’t he
If we went balls to the wall in the domestic cups and not given a shit about the PL or CL we probably would could have nabbed one. And be in Europa, currently.
That 2016/17 League Cup was up for grabs!!!!
