I've obviously only seen his cameo appearances, but I'm really baffled by this signing. Just looks like your archetypal big lad No.9 type, with nothing "special" about him. Surely we didn't have to go all the way for South America for this profile? Has anyone seen more of him and thinks he's got a big future?
And yet he has the front to attack and criticise other genuine fans who believe the club could and should be showing more ambition to win.
I don't use the term lightly, but he's the worst kind of troll we get on here.
We still need a decent number 6
Any reason why you KNOWINGLY lied about our net spend in recent seasons?
Lying about how much we spend to suit your tired old narrative. That sounds a lot like trolling to me
Please can we have your top 3 criticisms of 2024 now?
It's nice when we all get along
There's clubs out there who we are currently rivaling in the league who haven't won fuck all for donkey's years yet their fans don't act like saps...yet our own fans peddle this woe is us/loser mentality and are happy to wear this Spursy tag like it's a fashion item in order to push the very same narrative, it's boring.
Nothing worse than fans taking the piss out of their own clubs and openly trolling those who happen show a bit of positivity about the club they support, weird behaviour.
What do you get out of posting it here?
Well if you want to be disingenuous and pretend as if Spurs being the only club in premier league history to not sign a player in a calendar year was remotely a possibility for you then fine. Your non-answering will suffice.
And putting IRRELEVANT in caps doesn't make it so. It is entirely relevant, especially given you're assuming that I don't think we'll sign anyone. I'll quote you again:
Now tbf quality is subjective but to make my point clear so you don't make assumptions again, for a club who signed zero players for an entire year, I would not put it past them to not sign a couple of quality players for the remainder of this window. This club is more than capable defying belief in transfer windows. I have no idea where we will end up by the end of the transfer window, that was never my point. But to question whether people should be concerned about expecting multiple quality signings going forwards, yes, they have more than enough evidence to support a healthy level skeptism as to what this club defines as quality as well as what is enough.
This is exactly it. It’s not emotionally adjusted behaviour for people acting in good faith.
That's a slight improvement on last year though - the only outgoing is Gil who wasn't a consideration anyway. He's been replaced by Moore a player we will likely use - that's an improvement. If Lankshere is a squad option as described above then again that's an improvement as he effectively is additional cover that wasn't there before.
Then if Solanke is an improvement on Richarlson and is available for more games then again that's an improvement
I personally don't think Richy will stay now that Emerson leaving looks certain.
There are multiple top tier clubs in the PL, La Liga, etc that have multiple academy players in important roles in the first team. City has Foden and Rico Lewis. They had Cole Palmer and he moved on because they didn’t have room for him.
I don’t think it’s too much to ask to have one academy player move up and play an important role every couple of years.
If that’s the “improvement” we get from this window then it’s a marginal one at best, in a window where it was imperative to get a lot better. Jesus wept.
I think Ricky has mental health issues.
The first solution for him is to remove social media from his life. All of the shit talking by “fans” can get to players (just like multiple fatsos on this forum call him and other players “shit” and can’t even do 15 straight kick ups). I think he will do much better if he gets out of social media entirely.

Milan piss taking again. They'll bid 30m plus on a player a few days after they sign Emerson.
