20m is a different price-band for these clubs..... (Barca, RM & AM excepted....)
20m for EPL clubs is a feasilble gamble. 20m for a mid/upper cub in Italy/Spain/Germany is a fairly pricey signing; expected to make a significant mark.

Premier League - Transfer balance and five-year comparison
In dieser Statistik werden die Transferbilanzen der letzten fünf bzw. zehn Jahre der Vereine der Premier League miteinander verglichen.
I'll have to dig when I have more time for the 10 year record, but as an appetizer here's the 5 year net spend. We've only been outspent by Woolwich (+€20.M, 1xFA Cup) and United (+€116M, 1xLeague Cup).
I know everyone wants to blame our lack of recent success on ENIC being tight gits that won't spend. But it just doesn't jive with reality guys. It just isn't the spending. It's the shit spending and shit management and shit lack of meaningful direction as a club. All of that is, also, ENIC/Levy's fault...stop being lazy and falling back on the net spend fallacy.

Valverde is top notch
Exactly. & they will abuse the new signings when they perform to the realistic level you would expect.
Madrid's best midfielder last season
We have many weaker players that I’d rather shift first.My preference would be to keep HOJ for one more year (i'll explain further below why) BUT I 100% understand the viewpoint from an opportunity and financial vantage point, him being 27, still 2 years left so we have negotiating leverage and the reported numerous clubs of calibre that having a real interest in him.
HOJ money circa £30M-£35M (min - max) is very fair and reasonable and that money in essence could help us massively in addressing half a decades massive glaring weakness flaw weve has aka the DEF CB area. HOJ money to allow us to effectively purchase our 2 chief CB priorities Tapsoba and VDV, money ostensibly being the salient factor to achieve this. - Personally im all for Hoj's fee to help address our CB gaping issue.
However, I feel we would need to address HOJ's departure with another player of Quality this window.
This leave all leaves us bare to the bone in terms of strong tackling defensive capable players, Maddison is full on attacking, Nbombelly well ermm hmmm he aint running or capable of or providing that defensive cover with the energy, zeal, stamina and tenacity required (many might argue but i just dont see it personally). That leaves GLC which we all know is actively being moved on again not his forte anyway.
- Bentancur is still recovering from cruciate knee ligament injury, not the easiest to get back to your best again, so many players never fully get back to their best after it,
he does of course however it could be end of SEPT to NOV we see him fully back
- BISSOUMA and SARR will be off to AFCON leaving us to the bare bare minimum in a crucial month of JAN, also extra risk of one of them being injured (just pointing out all eventualities )
- Skipp i love being a spurs boy thru & thru but is not at the required standard, still too many silly mistakes and naivety to be able to rely on
So a HOJ replacement not essential before we leave on tour for pre-season but by the end of the summer window would be a necessity, which would likely be eased by selling a couple atleast of the vast number of dead weight we so badly need to move on from the club.
Not everything "journalists" and "ITK's" spit out are true you know
If all of us fans could have the mindset that 95%(which is probably low) of what they are spitting out are just made up BS to get clicks, we would probably be in a healthier mental state!

We're not going to buy 3-4 CBs in a single window. It was never going to happen. I expect 2 new and Lenglet, and it wouldn't surprise me if Dier is here as a 5th. He's a survivor who has won over 6 successive Spurs managers, whether any of us can understand why or not.
We are just a team who are all talk & no action. Big ourselves up & then fail. Then More talk & a whip around for the chairman.
If you had bothered to read the whole post, i highlight that exact issue.
2 new and Lenglet is ok tbh but the 2 new ones need to be starting 11 quality.
Arent there a couple of wingers in Spain we've been linked with, Nico Williams and Chuckwueze at Villareal? Maybe with Gil and Lo Celso we might be able to do something.
How do spurs have 75 in for 23/24 and arse have 0? Is it only counting the winter or how is it not counting rice, Havertz, and whoever else they bought?TRFs correct as to a couple of weeks ago (according to TFM):

I get where you are coming from with price doesn’t determine quality of player or success of transfer. At least not always.
But ask yourself this:
If they finish above us (AGAIN) can we have any complaints when their spending has been that much more ambitious this summer?
I agreed, but I think it's gonna be Mickey and someone that's more of a developmental player.
If we got Rodger’s they would have said fantastic appointment from levy anyway. Like they said Jose was a toxicGreat point. The forum hypocrite strikes once more.
As it happens, I did think Rodgers was the most likely. I think he was actually more popular than Ange in the poll until the outcome became apparent
Who was the guy that kept saying it though?
I forget.
We thought it was actually quite funny and brought some light hearted relief at the time though
until levy appointed him. Automatically a serial winner. & yes, back to a toxic once levy fired him.
Absolute rubbish....The worst player abuse on here is typified by the likes
