Like I said Ange talked with him, we would push on with talks if we had no indication that he would join us.Because it's entirely plausible that he was interested in talking to us along with other clubs.
Again how would we know what his intentions were in any case?
Is something confusing? I'm citing an example in direct response to your point.
Time is a loan , manor a freebie and Gil but can’t see much income for those 2 if any. We ain’t gonna sell bj, deki and richi although they cost £150Mish. Even if we did try to sell any of them we are never getting any near what we paid. Will be huge losses all round.I think we should move on from Nusa now.. he wouldn't be ready for a couple of years at least given he doesn't start for Brugge.
Thinking more broadly about our squad; I think our defence and midfield are in a fantastic place.
But the attack gives me concern. Gil isn't a PL player, and Solomon hasn't yet shown much. Richarlison, Werner, Kulusevski and Johnson all have significant flaws. Son is the only proven goalscorer and 31yo.
Imo this summer we should sell/let go of out 3 worst performing forwards, and buy 2 quality ones, perhaps 60m each.
Just saying...the bottom of the barrel is now visible....No thanks, I don't want shit last minute signings, we had plenty of time to plan and do it properly.

Let's move the debate on now anyway, but it's funny to see the lack of nuance once again when assessing who to trust.

I'd keep BJ Deki and Richi, sell Gil and Solomon. Werner... let's wait and see.Time is a loan , manor a freebie and Gil but can’t see much income for those 2 if any.

You’ve no idea if we’ve been working on a plan B ( or C or D). Werner came out of apparently nowhere. Just because social media ITKs haven’t discussed other deals doesn’t mean that they’re not being worked.No thanks, I don't want shit last minute signings, we had plenty of time to plan and do it properly.
That ship has well and truly sailed.
Jesus Christ, what an absolute load of bollocks. Get a grip will you!City showed is what football is. Much as we wanted to be on the front foot, we couldn't. We were outclassed.
We don't have the players good enough to win a league.
We are not buying players good enough to win the league in the next 3 years.
What happens in the next 3 years ADV will have Real Madrid, City and those willing to invest, knocking at his door. Levy will sell at an inflated price because he knows he'll loose his assets for nothing and he won't be willing to pay the salary the players demands.
Players use Spurs as a stepping stone and Levy is happy with that because he gets richer and good young players will always come our way in order to make a name.
Don't expect to see Romero, Udogie, Sarr, VDV, Porro, Dragusin, Bentancur and Vicario all there in 4 years time. You'll probably still have Skipp, Davies, Richarlison, Kulusevski, Johnson, Werner, Solomon, Bissouma and Emerson around.
Ange won't win a league at Spurs. He'll be off after he gets fed up of how our transfers work. Liverpool has been his dream and rumours are rife that his dream may be available as soon as next year.
Does the window officially close at midnight on the 31st? If so, only 84 hours left
Please shift your arse, Dan....
Isn't O'Keefe coming across as a bit of a nob in these recent tweets...? Maybe he should get off twitter with his ITK bollocks if he objects to being asked about it?
Just a thought.
