The gaps in our squad are wholly and solely because :

1 From 2016 - 20 managers were allowed too great a say in acquisitions, so with a few exceptions such as Hojbjerg, Sanchez and Moura none of the others made much impact for over a season on Spurs first team, and Hojbjerg the only one to nail down a first team position in a few seasons - personally regard them all as squad players. So when we started our rebuild in 2021 under Paratici he had a worn out ageing squad from Poch which is gradually being upgraded (squads are NOT buld in one window). Same position as ManU have got themselves into

2 After Poch sold all the academy players in first team squad (except Kane) for £100m to invest in the likes of Sissoko he failed to develop young players. Classic case was buying Foyth as a youngster for £10m, only allowing him to train with first team, no youth games or loans. Then being surprised when he gave away 2 penalties on his debut,. Played about a dozen more games before being sold to Villareal at a loss. Hence no youngsters coming through into first team.

So atm our 'gaps' are mainly players who Paratici has not upgraded - and to upgrade a full squad means getting in a lot of players who are good but not always paying top dollar.

Still another summer or two to go to replenish the squad but he's made excellent progress - and I'm sure most clubs would be delighted to have 'cheap picks' such as Sarr, Vicario, Udogie et al in the squad - its what ManU would absolutely salivate over

A disagree is yet another proof that @JoanThomas or Tottenham Massive Tottenham Massive or whatever he has changed his name to now hasn't a scoobiedo about anything.

Mind you for the man/woman who stated for about 5 or 10 years that a new Stadium would never be built whilst Levy was at Spurs - and that was even after the foundations were in place, its nothing new. Nobody else could miss something the size of Spurs stadium, although he/she did

And never acknowledges how crap his knowledge has been.

This is the shopping list I've sent to L & L :cool:
PS! I wonder who would pay £117.3m for Marcus Rashfordm, or £90.4m for Cole Palmer, £78.1m for Rico Lewis, £68.6m Aaron Ramsdale , and £64.4m) for Levi Colwill 🤔
If Ramsdale is £68.6m then Viacrio must be worth at the twice as much

REVEALED: Jude Bellingham is the world's most valuable player at £230m

This has been calculated by looking into the value of more than 6,000 transfer deals and the prices paid in the past for players with similar characteristics.

The 12 English players to make it along with Saka and Bellingham were Phil Foden (£168.7m), Marcus Rashford (£117.3m), Cole Palmer (£90.4m), Declan Rice (£89.4m), Harry Kane (£82.4m), Rico Lewis (£78.1m), Aaron Ramsdale (£68.6m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£65.5m), Jack Grealish (£65.5m) and Levi Colwill (£64.4m).

Stinks of money saver option to me.

IF we want a left winger, could have gone for Jota and he knows where the goal is.

But, if it was Ange that want him, then I'll give him a chance. But 27 isn't young and personally I would have gone for someone younger with potential.

Jota gave up on football for the easy money of Saudi , Timo failed at Chelsea yet wants to come back and prove himself, I know which of the 2 I prefer!
