Relax... No-one was arguing that we should sell Harry.
AGREE!
Has someone on here mentioned selling Sonny?! Fuck me, I'm out
I don't think we should sell Son or Kane (the most prolific strike partnership in PL history), but to explain the thought process it would be to assist in the painful rebuild. If you look at the ages of Sess, Gio, Tanguy, Bergy, Tanganga etc we are one or two seasons away from challenging for anything meaningful again.
If we take the Eriksen situation as an example if we had have sold him at his peak we could have re-invested but the fans would have been upset. Nobody knew he would turn out to be shit.
Even though we top the Forbes most valuable club in England list, we don't have the financial clout to spend as much as Burnley or Watford (we are 17th in the net spend league over the last 5 years) so we have to sell to buy.
Ask them again then. I'm not inclined to spend 24 hours a day on here sweet.
Still waiting

Yeah but they ain't got our training ground & stadium.
Its a bit pointless comparing us with Chelsea. They regularly win trophies & actually go for them. Like you say, top 6 would be great considering what we put in.

Yes I don't think when you have a sideboard over spilling with trophies, that you are too bothered about a training ground or stadium no matter how good they are.
It wasnt before the introduction of transfer windows, so why would it be now?
They will win another 25 trophies before we win anything. Only the few brain-dead fuckwits on here will never get it.
Even Stevie Wonder can see it.
Yes. Absolutely yes.
Why wouldn't a football fan like to see their club succesful.
A question for you ,friend. Do you think most Chelsea and City fans would rather be like us?
A simple yes or no.

Or moral high ground, apparently.
Our fans don't, or at least shouldn't , aspire to their success.
If there is one place you can look to for morals, its football. Can't wait for the WC in Qatar!Or moral high ground, apparently.

Comparing us to Chelsea is needless. They are well ahead of us. Since we last won a trophy they have won 3 league titles, a Champions League, 2 Europa Leagues, 3 FA cups and a League cup. They are lightyears ahead of us.
We consider success as finishing in the top 4 and reaching a final, Chelsea sack managers the same season as winning the Europa League, winning the FA Cup or even winning the double.
Ambramovic is an owner who is willing to pump money into the club and isn't bothered by it. He spent £35m on Danny Drinkwater and didnt bat an eyelid. He'll happily go and spend £150-200m this summer and won't lose any sleep. He knows what means success, which is different to our owner and chairman.
We have a different model, and very much more buy young and sell for profit. Lewis isn't bothered. He owns the company, that owns the company that owns Tottenham..
And before anyone starts saying I'm pessimistic, I'm not. I'm a realist. I'm proud of my club, but I also want us to go to a new level, otherwise we'll end up going back way before we go forward.

No they wouldn't
But I wouldn't want to be where they are with how they've achieved it. They are everything wrong with football. Even had a gooner I know text me after Ajax away that our comeback to make the final is more special and will mean more to us than any of their bought success Chelsea or City have got, and I agree with him. Nothing will take away the memory I have of that night. Utter euphoria.
Whilst you may be right...get your tongue out of chelsea's arsehole, gary.
Won't tolerate that kind of nonsense on here.
