We can't be compared to City, Liverpool, and Woolwich, but we should have our transfer startegy compared to Chelsea's of all clubs? The club that has a completely bizarre transfer strategy, that is like that of no other club? I'm sorry, but are you fucking developmentally stunted?I’m going to assume by these replies that you’re being facetious and/or on a wind up, but in the scary event you’re being serious, I’ve already explained why we need to act differently in the window to the three mentioned clubs.
City, Liverpool and Woolwich are all in a completely different place to us as football clubs. Comparing us to them at the moment is laughable.
The top 6 clubs most comparable to us currently are United and Chelsea, both of who have been as if not more active than us in the market and appear to be targeting players on a different level to us.
Yes.I’ve had a lot going on recently and have pretty much tuned out of matters Tottenham related since the season ended back in May. I haven’t the time or the inclination to read back.
Quick summary - any positive news in the transfer market this summer?
Archie Gray the only meaningful purchase.I’ve had a lot going on recently and have pretty much tuned out of matters Tottenham related since the season ended back in May. I haven’t the time or the inclination to read back.

We've made the same number of transfers as United, in what world are Yoro and Zirkzee on a different level to Gray and Bergvall?
No they have a history of success full stop.We should be following in the footsteps of Man Utd and Chelsea because of course both clubs have a recent history of successful transfers of course![]()
Going out on a limb here, but Yoro and Zirkzee both played for sides in top 5 leagues before moving to MU.We've made the same number of transfers as United, in what world are Yoro and Zirkzee on a different level to Gray and Bergvall?

What's your point mate? You tried to mock being compared to Chelsea and United as if they're somehow beneath us and in rebuttal bring up the top 3 in the land?
Alright he’s in South Korea lying on his fat arse and we need a few more in.
I really don't see doing well in France as an 18-year-old all that different to doing well in the Championship at 17. Zirkzee had two alright seasons in Bologna, is this supposed to make him incomparable somehow?Going out on a limb here, but Yoro and Zirkzee both played for sides in top 5 leagues before moving to MU.
Are you suggesting that an 18 year old who has made 46 appearances in Ligue 1 and a Dutch international at this stage are not on a different level to an 18 year old who has only played in the Champ and another 18 year old who has played less than 40 games in Sweden?We can't be compared to City, Liverpool, and Woolwich, but we should have our transfer startegy compared to Chelsea's of all clubs?

Are you seriously suggesting that making 46 appearances in Ligue 1 puts someone on a different level than that of someone making 44 appearances in the Championship?Are you suggesting that an 18 year old who has made 46 appearances in Ligue 1 and a Dutch international at this stage are not on a different level to an 18 year old who has only played in the Champ and another 18 year old who has played less than 40 games in Sweden?
I'm sure the post was about being as active as them 2 not signing the same players as them. By the way, both dud filled clubs made cup finals last year and one of them even won one. Bloody jokers.No I mocked at the suggestion of being like Chelsea and Utd in the transfer market where recently they constantly buy duds, the better example are the other clubs who actually know what they're fucking doing in the transfer market.
Ligue 1 is a stronger league than the championshipAre you seriously suggesting that making 46 appearances in Ligue 1 puts someone on a different level than that of someone making 44 appearances in the Championship?
