I appreciate that money talks you know that and the majority of our fan base knows it.... but why does the club not realise it? don’t get me wrong I don’t want us to spunk 350k A WEEK on some bang average nitwit that once played for Real Madrid and everybody believing he’s brilliant but I do expect us to rival the wolves, Leicesters and Aston Villa’s of the world jaysus.
.....Because money is only part of the equation when you're talking players that interest the best clubs in the world.
TBH, you've lost me with this part.. Doesn't really seem to be in tune with your original question.
You asked: "name the last player who we‘ve landed that we managed negotiate with and came to us rather than a ‘bigger’ team and has turned out to be excellent for us."(*)
(*Granted, the jury is still out on them, but allegedly Barca were interested in both D.Sanchez & T.Ndombele when we signed them....)
....When have "the wolves, Leicesters and Aston Villa’s of the world" been seen as the preferred option for players courted by both us and the biggest of the big?
Couldn’t or wouldn’t?
He wasn’t given astronomical wages by Liverpool by any means (around 100k or there abouts) which we most certainly could have afforded.
Leicester, Villa etc was more in response to hagrids question!
£130kpw
....Which, like I already replied to you saying, would have broken our wage ceiling at the time and sent all our best players knocking straight on LDs door for the same or more. If that was insignificant, then please quantify your claim; preferably with hard numbers.
I thought when I read the original quote for that the figures didn’t add up....
In fact, for a striker held in such high regard, Drogbas numbers are actually rather average...
One really has to wonder why a manger of such experience is getting so peeved off by comments from a crackhead oaf like Merson. The likes of Pep or even Plopp would just laugh and say “who”?
£135k, I think. At a time when we were said to be paying a maximum of £100k. And who knows what they paid in agent's fees, as they really flash the cash when it comes to that type of thing.
Where is that 130k coming from? The majority of sites that claim to know player wages state Mane is currently on 100k a week.

NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS contract breakdowns, yearly salaries, team salary caps and more.
Even morons can see that Harry Kane is not going to scare anyone when he is parked 70 yards from the opposition's goal. Don't you know Mourinho is kinda like Trump? He reads and listens to every word said about him in order to have material for his next verbal assault.
Jaysus. I have just been doing some Googling, and I have to say I cannot believe Mane is being paid less than Salah. And Firmino. And van Dijk.Where is that 130k coming from? The majority of sites that claim to know player wages state Mane is currently on 100k a week.

Ah, good. We're coming together again
So by your very own reckoning, there are now only 3 clubs in England who should be a more attractive financial proposition.
And only 7 in the whole of Europe!

You must be so excited by the upcoming transfer window!
Hindsight is always 20/20. All anyone wants to ever talk about is the throws of the dice we didn't make gambling big wages or fees on potential...but the way Spurs run things have also saved us from tying our hands financially to some donkies...woolwich have royally stuffed themselves in recent years blowing a shed load of their money on rubbish.
All of the Levy angst really began kicking up over the Damiao fiasco...and who the fuck is he? If we'd signed him Levy would've been browbeat for wasting our transfer funds on a lump.
This forum spent 18 months wanking over Ndombele, and it took less than 2 months for everyone to then decide he was a fat cunt.
TFC really doesn't have a great track record of piloting Spurs in a fantasy world....this place thought Poch was some 2nd rate consolation prize when Levy really should have opened the chequebook to land De Boer.
We also lost Kane in early 2019 against Man utd at Wembley and hardly won a game afterwards clinging onto Champions league qualifcation.Do you know anything about Spurs or is your agenda just against the manager.
Jose Mourinho hits back at Paul Merson with peculiar Harry Kane rant — TEAMtalk
Mourinho has gone all shades of Rafa Benitez with an odd defence of his record in the game working with the top strikers.

Hear Hear. Far too many agendas on here.
Lets just back the manager for a change. After all, if one of worlds most successful managers of all time can't make it work, then where do we go!
Give the man a chance, guys.
The first 8 league games under Jose 16 points look at the fixtures with a team that had been in freefall for 12 months scoring 18 goals hardly unwatchable.
Then the only centre forward at the club gets injured and you blame the manager you are Fucking clueless mate.

He didn't mention Diego Costa. 20 in 26 PL games when they won the league in 2015
He is right though. Strikers have never had problems scoring for his teams. Obviously Merson has been on the sauce again but Mourinho is too much of a gentleman to reveal that
Beats the fuck out of not getting it at all I'd say. But somehow as the oracle of Spurs, you are now going to tell me that it's better for us not to qualify for it at all, it's better to finish 8th instead of 4th. I'm all ears mate.....
