Why are people falling for this ‘BJ is the one Ange wants’ rhetoric?

Because Ally Gold, the club mouthpiece said so?

It’s clearly the club leaking this so we be seen to back our manager.

Makes me laugh that we all ridicule the SC ITK (me included) but people spout this BS about knowing exactly who Ange wants.

You can (and will) continue to make deflective comments all evening Shady, but the stark reality is that our squad is severely lacking top level talent in attacking areas (and at CB beyond the 2 starters), having sold our 30 goal star CF.

There’s legit cause for concern.

You’re a smart poster generally, I don’t think it’s necessary for you to go on the defensive and embarrass yourself like this. The rhetoric is OTT, it always is, but all genuine spurs fans should be a little concerned by our depth in certain areas right now.

Ange looks great, but he’s not a miracle worker. We have to support him with more tools.

I'm concerned but I just choose not to meltdown, it is what it is. ;)

Not fussed about Fati at all. A straight loan is a shit deal, add the huge wages we’d have to pay.

I’m confident Johnson gets done, and that’s who Ange wants.

I’m seeing a lot of people complaining about the window. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but I think we’ve addressed important areas. GK, CB, LB, CAM have all been sorted m.. granted Udogie was last summer.

Johnson and maybe another CB would be great, but I’m happy if we get Johnson.

Yes we sold Kane, but he wanted to go and we’d have just been delaying the inevitable.

Let’s judge it come May.

Interesting viewpoint.

West Ham, fucking West Ham, having bought Edson Alvarez, JWP, and Kudus, have done a 100x better job replacing Declan Rice than we did replacing Harry Kane.

Let that sink in.

Add Vicario and Porro to that list.

What we learned yesterday is that the Ange Revolution is paper-thin.

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.

Wonder if people stopped melting down that they'd realise that Fati loan with no option/obligation was a shit deal for us.

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.

How about expanding fan base home and abroad by winning trophies?

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.
