Are you still banging on about one transfer window 6 years ago?A genuine question, did you have the same thoughts during the 2018 window?
We have the fourth highest net spend since then. We spend money now - keep up.

If you consider that we’ve sold Richy in this scenario, and Gil as well, we’ve actually downgraded our depth in the front 3.
Solanke is probably slightly better than Richy, but he’s not some world beating upgrade. I feel like the staff is overreacting to preseason. It’s way too optimistic. Lankshear Bergvall and Moore look great for their age but it’s not fair to lean on them as reliable squad options over a 50 match season. We are relying heavily on an aging Son to be the danger man year round and shockingly Timo bloody Werner.
If it’s Solanke and Neto it’s better but Neto is about as physically reliable as Lo Celso. Injuries will happen under Ange his style is way too intense. It all feels like we’re going to go to a crucial EL or Cup tie with Werner-Lankshear-Johnson and get embarrassed.
Exactly. I’ve no idea where the “we have to sell Richy to buy Solanke” argument has come from but it’s idiotic. Reeks of ENIC-apologist Stockholm syndrome to think that way.
sadly I think I agree.

It came from a Gary Jacobs tweet:Exactly. I’ve no idea where the “we have to sell Richy to buy Solanke” argument has come from but it’s idiotic. Reeks of ENIC-apologist Stockholm syndrome to think that way.
We’ll play 50 matches this season with Europa and cups. We need more than one half decent striker. The Solanke and Neto (striker and winger) signings should be budgeted in regardless. we should be able to afford two quality attackers with our PSR advantages.
Richy leaving is a bonus, one that should be reinvested into Eze or another quality attacker. What he does should not impact Solanke/Neto at all. If we sold Richy and replaced him with Solanke, we’re right back where we were in 21-22 with no real backup striker other than Son and no real quality on the wings. And trust me, Solanke is no Harry Kane.
POK doesn’t know a ball from a banana. Veliz going tells us we are going to sign at least one striker.
Haha it's like Moths to a light. Amazing.Every reliable Spurs reporter: Spurs are looking to buy a few more players.
You: but 2018.
This is classic 2018 PTSD.
I'm hoping you undergo a swift rehabilitation, I'm raising funds for the victims of 2018 and hopefully we'll have a support group up and running soon.
Well our form in 2024 would have us 13th I believe but I'll bite3 positives about our club in 2024.
Any real fan would find it easy to shoot straight on that (even if you have a hundred criticisms).
Go.
OK so let’s just do the depth here, assuming Richy leaves and Solanke replaces himGil isn't a consideration, that's just misdirection.
If Solanke is an improvement on Richy then the forward line is improved by however much that improvement is (plus Moore & potentially Lankshere are to be involved so a slight improvement in depth)
Not enough by any means and we should hopefully add more but your conclusion that the quoted scenario means we would be worse off attack wise is incorrect.

I'm seeing more Neto links than Eze links.
Solomon is getting loaned out, we are looking to add one more wide player.OK so let’s just do the depth here, assuming Richy leaves and Solanke replaces him
LW: Son, Werner, Solomon, Moore?
CF: Solanke, Son, Lankshear?
RW: Johnson, Kulusevski
That’s nowhere near good enough as last season just proved.
Kind of a massive question mark. Is there no other good RW in world football?No surprise - we need wide players most of all and Neto is a better winger than Eze. His question mark is fitness but he’s a pretty perfect fit stylistically while having a lot more up his sleeve than Werner or Johnson.
Welcome to 8th place if all we go into the season with is what I just outlined.Solomon is getting loaned out, we are looking to add one more wide player.
Pretty much the same team that got 5thWelcome to 8th place if all we go into the season with is what I just outlined.
