The transfer market is fascinating to me. It's easy to confuse activity (the spend) with efficiency (good results). With Spurs it isn't so much not spending, as not spending well. It's like a shopper who keeps having to go back repeatedly to buy a replacement for a tool they previously bought. And that's what frustrates me about the emphasis on managers. We keep hearing we have to buy players to fit their system, which implies the cost of a new system is not just signing the manager but the fact that the system just made a good part of the existing roster worth less to you that it was ten minutes before you signed the manager. That was the fallacy of Mourinho. Hiring him didn't make players better, it just meant that a lot of Ponch's players immediately lost value. There may be such a thing as a manager who can adapt to the players he has on hand, but I'm not sure such a person exists.

Agree with everything, but the last sentence. That manager does exist, but he's going to Marseille, if one is to believe Twitter.

He’s a variable. They could have fired him and replaced him when their success first floundered. They could have backed him or maybe not sold his best players like Robin Van Persie to rivals. They didn’t do any of those things.

As a result, they took, inarguably, the second best team in England when they became majority shareholders — a team that had qualified for every UCL since 1998 — and kept them out of the tournament for more than half a decade.

According to the Saka Fan Boys here, I’m supposed to be envious of having them running a club — yet not one of them can tell me that these great owners have moved their club forward even as Silent Stan celebrates his fourth American club winning a national title in two years.

Doesn't his son basically run the club now? It wouldnt surprise me if he's using it as a vanity project to show that he isn't just some trust fund baby. They got full ownership of the club only a few years ago as well. Maybe he just has more interest in it than his dad.

Maybe he’s a good leader, sets a clear strategy and delegates to the freshly appointed experts? A different approach to our megalomaniac tyrant and his stale, dead inter circle of repeated failures like Cullen, Collecot and his gormless, simpleton of a son

Why do people feel the need to announce to everyone that they are putting someone on ignore? Just do it and be done with it. And if I'm on your ignore list, you probably won't see my replies anyway, so that last comment is basically redundant.

And then you wonder why I make fun of your IQ.. I know it's not nice of me to say this, but I really don't care. I'm pretty much fed up with your negativity, so will respond in jest rather than seriously.

Report: £80m player has now been offered to Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester United, Newcastle United and West Ham United have also been linked…

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Goncalo Ramos.

The Sun have reported that Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes has offered Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos to Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Newcastle United.




Aston Villa and West Ham United have also been approached.

Benfica will sell Ramos for £80 million, according to the report.

The Sun have claimed that while Manchester United are in the market for a new striker, Spurs could need a frontman should Harry Kane leave in the summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United for Goncalo Ramos?
In our view, Manchester United are more likely than Tottenham Hotspur to sign Goncalo Ramos from Benfica in the summer transfer window.


Erik ten Hag’s side are in need of a striker, and Ramos does fit the bill.

Now, of course, Spurs could be on the hunt for a number 9 should Kane leave, but we do not think that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy would spend as much as £80 million on a 21-year-old striker, especially one who does not have Premier League experience.

The Portugal international striker made 30 appearances in the Portuguese league last season.

The youngster scored 19 goals and gave two assists in those games.

Ramos scored three goals and provided one assist in 10 UEFA Champions League matches for Benfica last campaign.

At the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals, Ramos scored three goals and gave one assist in four appearances.
 
Tosin has good raw attributes from what I've seen. He is quite pacey and can pick a pass. Technically good and good in the air as well BUT he does make mistakes.

I've been saying we need to get rid of these mistake riddled players and his main weakness is lapses of concentration.

Saying all that, as I said previously he's a decent player that can potentially become very good. I'd take him IF we were also bringing in another more proven CB.
