You have just alienated quarter of the forum.It takes a special kind if stupid or stubborn to look at our squad of 2 years ago and decide that the only player in the world that could improve it was Frenkie de Jong.

I only bother watching spurs these days - I don't find watching other teams playing as interesting as I once did.
Presumably your'e about to give us a long list of young, discarded Poch players who have gone on to make their mark elsewhere?Poch getting admiration for playing youth and giving the academy kids a chance is the biggest blatant fucking lie about the man.
Well, with the Sissoko injury, it's time to either pony up for a CDM and fight for continental qualification, or it's time to show some balls and go into full rebuilding mode, giving Skipp, Tanganga, KWP, Clarke and Parrott significant minutes to help them develop for next season.
Personally Im in favor of cutting the deadwood and seeing what the kids can do. I don't see Levy wanting to spend the required dough to save us this window on the heels of our summer purchases and an expensive coaching change.
We're balls deep in shitville right now, so to speak.
Sounds more like Disney+....‘Balls Deep in Shitville’
That’s the Amazon documentary title right there.

& his ability to sell & shift players has been awful over the last few years. We need someone else dealing with transfers.I don't know.
I find it ironic that levy has a reputation for being hard to deal with in the business world.
But players /agents are fucking him over and holding him to ransom now.
Agreed, going absolutely nowhere without a new DM. And much more needs to be done in the summer.My view is simple.... Buy a DM now or in the summer.... May as well do it now and give ourselves a fighting chance at top 4.

Yeah, I was really disappointed with the team put out against Boro. Play the fucking youngsters like Klopp did against Everton.Well, with the Sissoko injury, it's time to either pony up for a CDM and fight for continental qualification, or it's time to show some balls and go into full rebuilding mode, giving Skipp, Tanganga, KWP, Clarke and Parrott significant minutes to help them develop for next season.

I think a lot of people get their football knowledge from playing FIFA. Genuinely.
I’ve not played it for a few years, but through career mode I found out about all sorts of names that would go on to be successful.
True. Although ours has been a mess too unfortunately.To be fair to Mourinho, United's transfer policy has been a mess with and without him.
Look at the Maguire and Wan-Bissaka deals - they get bent over a barrel these days.
Are there any homegrown DMs that are available/doable even? Or do we have to shift Wanyama first?
Genuinely can't think of any real top ones who poch discarded.Presumably your'e about to give us a long list of young, discarded Poch players who have gone on to make their mark elsewhere?
It’s true though. One of the twats on SC was constantly going on about obscure players in an effort to appear knowledgeable. It was obvious to most that he was just listing players that the latest FIFA game had listed as having lots of potential.
