We should be able to afford both another top CB AND attacking reinforcements.

Sure, and we should also get Mbappe, but in reality we have budget limits.
Definitely make us stronger
When did I say VdV needs to be replaced??
I said we should have 3 quality CBs in our squad, and Tapsoba would be the third.
They'd be dumb to sign for West Ham, at worst they could move to another strong team next season.
That's not remotely true.......
There's been very little actual links to Lenglet; just a few propaganda noises coming from Barca's end.
We're still being mentioned... Literally today in this thread.
Budget limits??
If you discount making loans permanent, we have made a profit in this window so far. Woolwich have a net spend of over £150m...
It's a disaster if it stays as it is because we've lost Kane, and not done enough to reinforce our squad.
Why not?
We're one injury away from having Dier or Sanchez starting.
Romero can be injury/ suspension prone.
Fabio Paratici resigns from Tottenham job after failing to overturn ban
Fabio Paratici has resigned as Tottenham’s managing director of football after failing to overturn a worldwide 30-month ban related to his time at Juventus
www.theguardian.com
Paratici resigns. Meaning he cannot be our director of football, just a scout in the shadows.
Paratici resigns because his ban from worldwide football activities was upheld by FIFA.
"If you discount the money that we spent we haven't spent money"
It's iambic pentameter. You uncultured oaf!
Purely rhetorical in my answer; but if Tosin doesn't like the smell of our bench; why would Tapsoba?
People insisted it needn't be a factor when all the talk was of VDV and Tapsoba, but clearly it is for some players.
I am not against the idea but Spurs are not Chelski or Man City who'll splash that money on an understudy. And I doubt Tapsoba will come to sit on Spurs' bench, particularly now without any European football.
Im probably in the minority here but id much rather get Doku than Eze for the money being banded about plus Doku is an attacker rather than an attacking midfielder
We've already had this debate on this thread numerous times- it's getting repetitive now.
I've already explained why it makes far more sense to count Kulu and Porro spend as part of previous spend rather than this year. The loan with future buy is just an accounting trick.
The actual important thing for this window is buying players that improve the squad. Kulu and Porro were both already part of the squad.
And even if you count Kulu and Porro- we've still spent around £100m less than Woolwich. So the idea we shouldn't get Tapsoba because we can't afford him is risible.
Tapsoba will back himself to get into our first XI. Most Bundesglia experts who watched both VdV and Tapsoba closely were of the opinion that Tapsoba is a better defender right now.
I personally don't mind who starts out of Romero, VdV, Tapsoba as long as they're all playing well... but I do not want a situation where we only have 2 quality CBs like now, huge risk given suspensions/ injuries.
Do you understand that 60m that we spend on strengthening our bench is 60m that won't be spent on strengthening our first XI, or are you just gonna say "nooo just spend more money" like you're twelve.
