Ok well, if they do finish above us, which is what I said, that will be fucking annoying.

Unless you are a gooner lover, I'd guess it would annoy you as well mate?
Course it would. When have I said it wouldn't?

My issue is that some are saying we need to be more like them.

Thought it was the title of this thread.

People are praising their signings in this transfer window while saying we need to spend more in this transfer window.

But no, let's talk about 2019 again.
Why 2019? We could talk how they spent last summer for example, when most of the Spurs fans were claiming they signed some Man City rejects (among others), who ended up having a bigger impact on their season than any of our transfers on our season.

Back on this transfer window, they’ve only signed Havertz, right? On paper, Maddison could have bigger impact than Havertz. Outside of that, we’ve signed a keeper from a bottom half Italian club and a backup winger from Fulham. That’s supposed to make me happy?

And Lloris, Dier and Wankberg are still here
 
You don't remember it because he made it up.


"Sevilla is the club that has seen me grow and where I have been happy. It is the club of my life, I did not expect to return and when I my agent said so, I told him not to look anymore," he said. "The affection that both my family and I have for this club is incredible. It is a club that represents me, I made my debut at the age of 17 on Three Kings Day."


I could look for more specific quotes but I think the above will suffice.

But why can't you give our signings the same leeway you're giving Havertz?

Havertz was shit last season.

If their signings last season were underwhelming and proved everyone wrong, why can't ours?
 
So who would be a good replacement, fitting Ange's system?

Google Bard suggested these 5 players. (As usual the AIs grasp of time is a bit dodgy)

Sure, here are the players again, with their current clubs as of July 4, 2023:

1. **Jonathan David** (Lille)

2. **Randal Kolo Muani** (Eintracht Frankfurt)

3. **Ivan Toney** (Newcastle United)

4. **Richarlison** (Tottenham Hotspur)

5. **Dusan Vlahovic** (Juventus)

I apologize for the mistake. I have updated the information above.

As you can see, some of the players on my list have already moved clubs since the end of the season. However, I believe that they are still all good options for Tottenham if they are looking for a replacement for Harry Kane.

I hope this is helpful!


Has Ange ever played with a #9?

Richarlison is possibly the most similar in style to the way he's used strikers in the past.
Not really seen much of J David though.

I just said Maddison is potentially a smarter/better transfer than Havertz lol…

Their signings weren’t underwhelming, Spurs fans said they were while bigging our transfers up. Turned out right…
 
I haven't. Don't know who did...

but fuck em if they said that.

What I said is that their aggression in the transfer market should be putting pressure on ENIC/Levy to make sure they get it right this transfer window.
And we come back to why is their window so good?

They overpaid for Rice without getting rid of the rapist.

They definitely massively overpaid on Havertz.

Why fawn over them?

You have quoted something that doesn't say anything about moving to Spurs being a mistake....


to show us where he's said moving to Spurs was a mistake.

More importantly have our signings closed the gap on them? Highly unlikely.

Fair enough but I don't think it's potentially...Maddison is a massively smarter/better transfer than Havertz. They are paying him over £300k a week! That is not smart.

Some would argue Zinchenko was one of their weakest links in their bottling run mind
