My point is they needed him, wanted him and they paid it. We need and want Tapsoba, we won’t pay it

Maybe he sets some realistic valuations then and gets them off his books asap? I agree btw.
He’s accountable for moving them tho
We have one of the lowest wage to income ratios in the league.
They are a long way from it being irresponsible,
Funnily enough, we are shitter at selling players than buying them. It’s just pathetic.
It seems a recent part of their MO to get in players on a free (enamored by the Barca name ) and sell them on immediately for a fee. Presumably, it’s all about clearing their massive debt.
WTF have Hugo and his agent been up during this tour?
Just insane that clubs aren't lining up to pay for players no fans at the club rate!!!!
Do you still think you have backed the right horse?
Can ENIC survive?
Is there an aggressive takeover in the pipeline?
A real player?
Yeah and if we recklessly add another £1m a week to the wage bill and fail to move players on before the deadline, the ratio will turn to shit.
Prices have been out of whack with similar weekly entertainment since before the EPL kicked in.....
As a teen, my Spurs ticket went from £7 to £22 between 91/92 & 92/93.... Priced out 'overnight' thanks to Sky/EPL...... Couldn't afford to go back regularly until I had a good job in the late 90s.

I take your point but a player who is banned until February next year, so a year isn't quite right. Won't be a lot of takers given the betting scandal (once an addict...) - even though I like Toney - I think he's class and has everything but I don't see Franck being so clever.
Number picked out of an arse.
I mean, for a family with 2 kids and a parent at the game, that's 15o ish for 2 hours of entertainment, plus food and drinks and transport.
Doesn't make sense.
If Carlsberg did transfer windows this wouldn’t be it 
So what do we do? Just wait and loan them all out until their contracts run out and then replace them with more cheap deals.
Need to find the graph from swizz ramble but I think we could add double that and still not get close to being in trouble,
Can you maintain a coherent though process?
For longer than one sentence?
Honestly?
It was a difficult wank but I succeeded
They would tap him up and wait a year. Stegen had one of his best seasons last year
This is why the idea of being ruthless and tearing up contracts for a full reset was a good idea.
Once you realize the damage you did by spending money with no direction or commitment, you take the ht for those mistakes and make sure you learn from them.
It's brutal... I'm sure.
Can't remember which thread now but a few peeps were reflecting on the fact that a family trip to the cinema + snacks costs circa £100 these days.
Still; a posh ticket for Taylor Swift is 3 grand... So there's always options.
