On what basis is Hincapie higher rated? Ndicka was Bundesliga team of the season this year and Hincapie was not.pretty sure Konate has had more howlers leading to goals than Davies last season.
Anyway, it seems we've narrowed it down to Ndicka, Torres and possibly Hincapie. Having seen so little of all of these players, Torres is the least intersting, as he's more passive than the other two. Ndicka has decent experience of high pressure games, but Hincapie seems to be more highly rated in the Bundesliga.
Literally yesterday, you were complaining that the reason we have a trophy drought is because Soldado, Jansen, Sissoko, Wanyama and others were "cheap".
Financial schlong. LololololI have a suspicion that, at least when they're at Inter, a lot of the 'not wanting to go' is lip service to make sure none of the ultras turn on them ("oh, I didn't *want* to leave, but the club had to sell, so...").
Hakimi would be a different situation though. Oh how I wish we'd just get our financial schlong out and go ham for him.

I was saying that i was the quality of the players we recruited irrespective of cost.
But there's reason for that isn't there?
I think "cheaper" has been the reason why we have struggled to win fuck all over the last twenty years.
Forget the likes of Jensen, Vinicius and the like (even going back to Soldado), if we want to improve the front line then "cheaper" isn't the answer.
Levy has been down that road more often than a taxi travels around the M25.
Eleven PL players were signed that season for twice as much money.
It's cheap.
Dice it up any way you want but West Ham signed a more expensive player that season, while we fucked around with:
Vincent Janssen Alkmaar £18.8m; Victor Wanyama Southampton £11m; Georges-Kévin N’Koudou Marseille £9m; Pau Lopez Marseille (loan); Moussa Sissoko Newcastle £30m
I must have missed something.....as I can't remember Spurs having won 3 league titles and 1 CL title + + since 1980Inter are a huge club. They were my first love and they have had enormous players throughout their history and won a LOT.
People here sometimes act surprised that players love inter or like spurs are a bigger club because now we have more money but since we last won a trophy they have won… 3 league titles, 3 Italian cups, 1 champions league, and the fifa club World Cup. And reached a Europa league final.
They’ve won as much in 14 years as we’ve won since 1980. I’m not having a go at us but you can’t even compare the two clubs.
Yeah that makes the point even stronger. I was counting major trophies only (domestic or continental cups and league titles) but not distinguishing between an FA cup and a league title.I must have missed something.....as I can't remember Spurs having won 3 league titles and 1 CL title + + since 1980![]()
