I agree. They love being the centre of attention enough as it is.

If we paid £50M for a bang average player then serious questions would need to be asked on who is selecting these players for big money. Together with the money spent on BJ and veluz £15M we could have got a real top quality attacking player.
My favourite comment of all time.
In desperate need of a pee at a concert, I first heard this in the late 90’s. Never ceases to be relevant.
And it’s time to SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT for all the clubs that can afford to.
Talking of officials, where's the lady assistant referee?
I smell agents....
Looks like they have him £18M plus add ons. Why have we not gone in for him? His a spurs supporter as well. Why go for CG whose a deep rooted chav.
So would the ref.
So it is Ange then who wants CG just like he wanted BJ?
Whatever the price!
CG cannot get into the England squad / team over a bench sitting Kalvin Phillips! Spam look to have got a good deal getting him and jota in on loan. Is that better than what we have done so far. Could Philips have provided a good option as a 6? Would jota be better than Werner and a diff type of wide player to what we have?
If that's what it boils down to then c'est la vie.
Personally, the current situ frustrates me because VAR could - and should - be so much better than it is... And if it was; it wouldn't be alienating so many people who are now just sick of it and want rid.
For some reason we as club/manager don’t want to play our academy players. Unlike say dippers where kloop throws them in and really backs them up. I have no idea why we are so reluctant to play our academy players but would be happy to buy a young player from overseas and play them!
The chart shows numbers before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Tottenham made an operating profit of 112m in 2022 (97m in 2021).
However, after after depreciation, amortisation, player trading, interest and taxation the loss was 50m (83m in 2021). These are numbers straight from our own financial results.
Now, compare to the Chicago Bears:
The Bears — listed below Spurs — had an operating profit of $156m in 2021 and $203m in 2022.
(Atlanta has similar numbers).
Every NFL team with its controlled salary cap and draft system is more profitable than the top EPL teams (source Sportico)
There’s a reason that the Denver Broncos sells for more than 9 times its revenue and Manchester United, probably the most valuable club in the EPL, is valued at less than 6 — and it’s not because sports fans like Orange uniforms.
This might help explain the ‘X’. It probably came from someone who can read an income statement and understands how players and their fees are booked. I don’t.
Edited to add: Do I think Spurs are creative in their accounting? Probably .
However, investors know what each team is worth.
