So tired of seeing own supporters giving fuel constantly to this "never winning team"-mantra, and making worn out jokes.
Isn't it enough our rivals do?

Isn't it enough our rivals do?
Are you still banging on about one transfer window 6 years ago?
We have the fourth highest net spend since then. We spend money now - keep up.
Still 10/11 to sign for Spurs.
4/1 for City if you want to make a quick buck.
Neto currently 5/4.
Solanke 1/6
Every reliable Spurs reporter: Spurs are looking to buy a few more players.
You: but 2018.
This is classic 2018 PTSD.
Gil 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.
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.
sadly I think I agree.
Thanks for the triggered non-sequitur response without answering the question.
It came from a Gary Jacobs tweet:

Granted this does not mean that we necessarily need to sell him to buy Solanke, but rather that we will sell him and buy Solanke, but people will interpret that as they will.
Veliz was never going to make the squad given he would need to take up an 'overseas trained player' squad place with no likelihood of significant game time - which would make no sense.
Assuming we do sign a new striker it would likely mean either Solomon or Richarlison move on to make room for new striker in the squad (and that's after Veliz going on loan)
Haha it's like Moths to a light. Amazing.
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 bite
Dragusin and Bergvall signings look good
Improved style of play - albeit naive to the extreme
Plenty of deadwood cleared out
I'll add the Synthetic turf partnership as a Brucie bonus
Do you not believe the signings the last few seasons have been operating better than the 5 years previous?
Buys
Romero
Porro
VDV
Sarr
Udogie
Vicario
Maddison
Dragusin
Gray
Bergvall
I would say all good quality signings with high ceilings for many.
Obviously we have had some misses, everyone does though and there can't be an expectation for perfection.
Also we have been moving on our deadwood much better the last couple of years too.
So if operating better is what you want to see, then surely better has been achieved.
Not to say we are run as well or spend like we should...
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. IMO we need 2 new attacking signings (Solanke/Neto) and to keep Richy.
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.
Solomon is getting loaned out, we are looking to add one more wide player.
Kind of a massive question mark. Is there no other good RW in world football?
Welcome to 8th place if all we go into the season with is what I just outlined.
