Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Interesting viewpoint.
Fati loan vs nothing, I'd take the loan
Apparently not, Charlie Kane has allegedly taken up the role on a temp basis until we can find a more permanent replacement. Levy seems to like the fact he can't read or write, so it seems he fits in well with our way of going about things in the transfer window!So Paratici isn't doing the negotiations now then
I got excited that the suggested video was "Cracking the Cryptic" then realised that is based on my own viewing habits...

I am not so bothered bout Spurs did not get Fati but it's very upsetting and disturbing that after he was identified as Spurs target and wrapping up 99 % of the deal they lose out to Brighton.
Just weird.
Spurs are a football club and we are discussing transfers.
Some go through, some don't.
What we learned yesterday is that playing a full B-team is and always he's been a shit idea....
Yeh, if 9 of our starting XI get injured then yeh we're fucked. That's not a news flash for us and 99% of other teams.
Some of those lads that played yesterday have already shown the can rotated or be subbed into the first XI and do what they're paid to do.
It's not about this deal making or breaking the window. It's the lack of ambition in display that it's not even sad at this point, it's disturbing. We've sold our greatest ever goalscorer and we're ending the window on a POSITIVE net spend, in an age where clubs like Burnley are spending £100+M.
That’s an excellent point. The answer probably belongs in the ENIC thread in truth (which I have on ignore).
So, here’s the argument (which I’ll leave you to answer). If you were Joe Lewis —- glory and thanks from TFC posters aside — would you invest enough of your fortune to gather enough trophies to put Spurs into the super-club strata?
Q: How much winning would you need to do? Well, quick answer would be to look at a club like Chelsea —a London based club with 2 UCLs in the last 13 seasons along with other honors— and it hasn’t moved their revenue needle hardly at all. Do Leicester with their recent League title and FA Cup win have more fans (outside of Thailand) than Spurs? So, if it’s going to take sustained success then how much?
Q2: What will that cost (if FFP allows it).
Assuming success is related to revenue (especially over the long-term) then Lewis has to make up about a 200m per annum gap with the two biggest English until there’s enough success for it to pay. And that’s to be competitive — not to overtake — and doesn’t include the cost of catching up with City in terms of the better global processes and development that they already have in place and efficiencies they derive from being global.
Ok, that’s the first two parts taken care of.
Q3. How much cash outside of Tottenham/ENIC do you think Uncle Joe has with enough liquidity to finance this?
So, that’s why I think that ENIC will do just enough.

Yeah I don't buy this for a minute. We would have got him in earlier or at least had strong links 2 months ago if he was Ange's main attacking target.
What's that? Surely not football.
Both would be very bold and send a strong messge Got no idea,what happens but...
We can be cast adrift or try to stay with the leading pack.
2 days to find out which it will be.
You have to believe ITK for that to be the case.
It could be our "interest" was fictitious.
If Romero or Bissouma get injured Davinson and Pierre have to play.
The main issues vs Fulham were caused by those 2.
