It’s more wistful reminiscing on how bloody great the mid-late 2010s were and how far we are from reaching those heights again.

Tbh, I heard the exact same when we lost Bale, Modric, van der Vaart and King within two seasons. Remember "this is as good as it gets for Tottenham?"

Fast forward a few years and we're competing at the top with Dembele, Kane, Eriksen, Son and Dele.

A midfielder from Fulham, an academy prospect, a highly promising young Danish midfielder, a League One midfielder and a winger that people wanted us to sign Berahino over.

We had Bale and Modric in our team at the same time once upon a time mate, people said the same thing back then, shit aint that deep.

Those players weren't signed as WC players, we developed them into WC players.
Kane and Son weren't signed as WC players, we developed them into WC players.
Chances are a few of this batch will go the same way.
 
I remember people complaining that we went for the cheaper option instead of Tapsoba. Hindsight is 20/20 especially when things work out. I love how history gets re-written as if VDV as a scouting masterstroke, as if we were monitoring him since he was born. Yes, credit where credit is due for buying him but alot more is due VDV's way. He has performed above and beyond what any of those suits could have dreamt of. VDV has an exemplary attitude for someone so young in the game.
I wish we had got Tapsoba he's probably in the top few CB in the world. Objectively speaking had a better season than VDV. But as you say it makes weren't we clever narrative not as impressive.
 
We can confirm that Emerson Royal has completed his move to AC Milan.

We wish him all the best.

Good luck Emerson!

If the price for Solanke is what's putting you off, I wouldn't worry.
We won't get Solanke unless this twat can negotiate it for less.
If we were offered 2008 Messi for £20m he would have said no and tried for £10m and 50% of his wages.

:levylol:
 
Ange just said we want to consistently compete at the highest level.

How else are we gonna do that if we don't bring in players like this?

Get real, mate.

It's fans like you that keep this club down.

If 2nd to 7th is the "competing at the highest level" then sure.
But clubs at the highest level win things.
We don't.

Ang is now just a mouthpiece yes man if he's spouting this off.
