I did think about VDV when typing this. Ultimately he's in the premium player category. 35m ish for a player from a big league.

Veliz, Gil, Sarr all under 20m.

Orban and Numah are 25-30m players that are coming from smaller leagues as highly sought-after talents. That's scary hours for Levy.

Where's the cut off to this theory? I thought Numah was tweeted as €22m.......

If it's bigger money punts on potential you're after then:

Ndombele 60m
GLC 40m
Sanchez 40m
Sessengon 30m
Reg 35m

You're talking about classic Spurs signings..... Wanna go back even further and allow for inflation?

Modric 16m
Berba - roughly the same
Son - 22

Some flower; some don't..... It's bogus to imply that we aren't littered with such purchases...... .The mad thing is the Levy-hate narrative is normally critical of us for doing so.

He's 99% going to bottle it and dither until both are gone.

Based on the ease at which I can list 'gambles' on 'potential' that's far from a given... And "99%" is frankly guff. Even if they don't get done it may have nothing to do with "bottling".
 
I’ve always wondered why a club like Spurs doesn’t own a Belgian, Dutch or Danish club and use them to develop talent. For the price of one player nowadays you could probably buy an entire team. I guess there are rules around ownership / farm teams in Europe.
The closest thing to this is the Etihad and Red Bull consortiums.

They've got clubs attached to the brand around the world and basically do insider trading.

Leipzig and Salzburg have been trading players and coaches like playing cards.
 
Each club has a different situation. Our deadwood has been here 3 years and outlived numerous managers. It was unthinkable that we;d start the season with Davinson or Dier as CB options, yet here we are.

I listed a shit tone of duds that overstayed their welcome for you a couple of says ago..... 4/5 of each Arse, Chavs, Man U and resembled all the criteria I just quoted.
 
BEYONCE HOSTS, YOU'LL NEVER SING THAT!

West Ham & City can; but their fans don't mock their own clubs for it.

FFS; look around the world... .All these big bands/acts play in Sports stadiums (each of these stadiums is a home for one team or another)...... There's nothing there to be mocked or cry about.

This is one of the twattiest sticks to beat our club with.

I'll never understand the commitment from some posters to defending the owners. Baffling.

They do not care about you, never will, and Joe Lewis is an insider trading scumbag. Even if some nasty lies are told about them, why do you care? If you aren't being paid to defend them, why bother? They have expensive lawyers for that.

Weird dedication to go to bat for some lizard-like individuals sat at the top laughing their fucking asses off at fans.
 
Cheer up. Whatever happens they can’t take away the memory of the amazing nights we’ve had in recent seasons. Like that Beyoncé concert.

West Ham & City can; but their fans don't ock their own clubs for it.

Anti-bullshit =/= Pro-Lewis/Levy/ENIC

Stirring the fanbase up with lies and false-narrative is toxic.

Leave that shit to the puerile pricks; such as those with the gender-shifting avatar.


.....At least we're getting somewhere though; at least it's being acknowledged that lies are commonly being told.

Other clubs win things. Our owners deliver all the bullshit and none of the rewards. They behave like a scam.
Most clubs have deadwood that is years old, including many in the Woolwich list I posted. They haven't won much in the last 10 years either - on a different day, we could have won more cups than them in that period - but that's a completely different conversation anyway.

There is no 'scam'. There is a football club and business (it is both) being run in a way that you don't like. Perhaps that's partly because you have (sometimes absolutely legitimate, sometimes not) concerns about errors being made, and perhaps it's partly because, if you'll forgive me for saying, you sometimes come across as somewhat 'spoiled'. It's probably bits of both. But even if you were 100% right about poor decisions being made, it's not a 'scam'.
