MORNING Honest John Honest John !!!

:troll:
Morning my friend.

A great example of our tried and tested method of buying promising young talent whom we like to develop to their full potential rather. than buying players already operating at their peak.

Not a policy thats brought the long awaited titles thus far of course

Lets all hope he becomes the next Gareth Bale and not the next N'koudou

You wanted to make Christian Eriksen, who hasn't performed well for two games for 18 months, one of our highest paid players based off a free kick the other day.

You also dismissed the Lo Celso signing because he came from Sociedad. EDIT - BETIS

Maybe you aren't good at picking the right players for Spurs.

*coughs* Berahino *coughs*

Giroud fits Mourinho’s style perfectly. He’s after someone who can hold up the ball, bring players into the game and really help with chances. He’s not prolific, but he’s a good striker. Starter for France and has always been a threat.

Would obviously prefer Piatek, but Giroud is still a good option. Would mean Son and Bergwijn can play in their best positions.
 
We've spent 100m not 150m net. Our stadium is nowhere near close to being paid off. We don't even have a name sponsor. Our last 2 signings this window confirmed NOTHING has changed in terms of our transfer policy of young cheap punts whit potential. Why is that such an issue to point out?

Keep your distance from finance discussion if you have no clue, please.

Our stadium loan has CURRENTLY nothing to do with our spending power (at least in negative way). We have remainder of a loan in very long schedule which we are servicing. Yes. But if I remember correctly it corresponds like 25-30 mil EUR yearly payment. All while the added revenue (more seats, more VIP seats, more add on revenues from matchdays, more revenue from other events) is maybe ca 60 mil EUR. Meaning even after loan payment we have MORE money left for other things.

But to bring a parallel easier to understand - let's say you were renting a flat for 1000 eur per month before. Say you have stable income and had enough savings to make down-payment and buy the silmilar flat. You take it to long schedule and your monthly debt servicing amount is 750 eur. Basically what you are trying to make it look is that "we have not payed off the mortgage, so we have additional 750 eur per month cost, it's dragging us down!" while really we are comparing before and after cash flow which shows that our expenses decreased by 250 eur per month and hence cash flow increased.
 
And excluded the massive profit that the accounts between 2018- 2019 will reveal

I don't understand this creative accounting on behalf of Daniel Levy a substantial amount of our fans support

You nailed it ... you don't understand .... we've increased our income by over 100% in a decade, we've increased our profit by 80m a year, and we've increased our net transfer spend from almost nothing over fifteen years to 150m over three years ... it's really not that hard to understand.
