He's a good back up to Deki. Almost like for like. Very good set pieces too. Use him for a couple of years then replace with Gil if he develops.
We really have some melts in our fan base.Levy out trending on twitter
You may be confusing him with Paul Mitchell.
Opportunity knocks.
He won't cost a fortune and gives us a like for like Kane back up who can actually play as a full on CF.

You could’ve at least shared some special ITK stuff
Could have at least put more effort into the post mate, that was your big moment
Kulu is a loan, you can't include him unless you take Romero out and put him in last seasons spend.
Richarlison is more like £50m + £10m
Spence is more like £12m rising to £20m
About £48m less there.
Throw in approx £30m for Bergwijn and CCV.
That's down to £147m
Are we saying that the new stadium and champions league football couldn't cover a portion of that? Or that neither really make a difference and we needed a loan to spend?
I'm not complaining here, I'm simply questioning inconsistencies in people's arguments.
Dier and Davies signed before Poch, Alderweireld signed because his Belgian colleague was already at Spurs and long stranding links to Spurs.
Son came as he/his agent were unhappy at his previous German club refusing to allow him to compete at Asian Games (not a FIFA tournament and takes a month out of season) important to Son as winning them game him exemption from National Service where he would have lost 2 years of football from age 28 (and a fortune in wages). Levy agreed to let him go to next tournament after signing - he captained South Kore to winning Asian Games making him biggest sports star in South Korea - and very grateful that Spurs kept their word which is why Son signed a new contract when he did.
So Wanyama - you are probably right even though with one year as a top footballer and 3 always injured, not a great signing. Congratulations though. You got one right out of 5,
so Let’s be real who could still leave doc and moura tanganga maybe. Who really could come in James adama and the bloke from Chelsea and Madrid. I’d say 2 will come in and one more leave
Last year stadium part full, few non football events or exhibitions or conferences, so revenue from stadiums were ''weak' not strong.
Conference League last season not CL, so revenues were down (maybe £10m for competing tops)
Next season of course we should get the advantages you mention - but its in the future still, not cash in bank now.
That's not true, Poch came in in 2014 and both Dier and Davies were signed that Summer, not sure on your point about Alderweireld either, Poch worked with him the year before at Southampton so it's obvious that Alderweireld was happy to work with him again.
Strange post, seems like you're trying to shit on Poch's transfer record but those same players made up our most successful period in the Premier League.
For the record I don't think Poch is particularly great in the transfer market but we don't need to overdo it with falsehoods.
It's about time though that we spent to retain our position.
This isn't a "wah wah we haven't spent enough" because it doesn't take just money to spend it. You need to attract the right players too.
I just think 'some' fans contradict themselves.
They'll say Levy has done well to build the stadium to make money and that CL football makes more money. Then say the money We've spent is the £150m which Levy got and we should be appreciative of that.
IMO, there is still money to spend for the right player. My worry is we are struggling to convince said player(s) to join.
I like him too, but he would have one role and one role only: fill in for Kane. Not that that's a bad thing. He'd still get some decent game time and likely be an able deputy. But Fulham would probably want upwards of 40 mil for him. If we're going to spend that much, might as well spend a little more and get another player with the versatility of Richarlison.
They'll do anything to inflate the figures to something that looks reasonable, mate
it's quite funny to watch, actually.Poch made a speech when he arrived specifically saying he had NOTHING to do with transfers that summer (ie Dier, Davies or Vorm).
Vertonghen definitely was at Spurs well before Poch, and Alderweireld was his long established Belgium CB partner, I doubt if Poch had anything to do except say 'Yes' to Spurs long standing interest (we tried to get him before he went to Spain).
The post was to respond to a poster whose assertion was Poch was great in transfer market putting forward those 5 as players as examples - my post demonstrates he was not the major transfer market man on these players..
