Not too fussed about Neto his hamstrings are a ticking time bomb - good luck with that
Agree... When we WERE linked with him, EVERYONE seemed to acknowledge that whilst supremely talented, would probably play as many games as GLC due to injuries... We CAN'T spend £60m+ on ANOTHER sicknote!! ...let Chelsea take that risk!
(Plus he looks like a weasely porn star!!)

Question is who do we target now?
Eze!
I think it was going on too long, time to move on from neto, what other options are there.
Ange must be royally fucked off, his primary target gone.
I genuinely think Neto WAS the back up option...
I'm almost 99% certain Eze IS our primary target, and maybe, not going full blown on Neto means we finally DO have some progress with Eze?

With Neto out of the picture he would be my first choice for a PL-proven wide player. He’s tenacious and has quality, underrated player.

I still think we need an Eze-type to challenge Maddison though, I still don’t think we have enough reliable quality in attacking midfield.
Eze is a VERY Eze type player!

Agreed we need a wide forward and an AM to compete with Maddison ideally. However a wide forward in the Neto type style is priority.
Which is why I think we'll get Eze!
 
Anyone wanting to join that Chelsea project over joining Spurs really isn't worth crying over.

We move on. Ange wants players who want to play for the club.

He is a late former Spurs legend who still holds the record!
I have nothing against Greaves, he's a legend.
Are we talking about which one has the most Spurs league goals, or league goals in all?
Greaves has 220 Spurs league goals and Kane has 213 so it's much of a muchness tbh. Kane could come back for a year at 33/34 and see that off.
Their records are so similar. However it's extremely hard to compare them, as neither is likely to be has good as the other if they swapped eras.
 
Is this even sustainable?

They’re run by a PE firm who will want profit back… not like Roman or City owners who’d be willing to lose money for good publicity.
They absolutely know they are going to get fucked with fines, PL points deductions and maybe even another transfer ban, so I guess this is them on a war footing, filling the freezer and cellar with all the food they can fit in it. It's their cost of doing business, it's fully factored into their costings.

The only thing that would totally and completely fuck them would be if the governing bodies mess with that financial forecast of Chavs by saying taking a % of sale profits made from player trading as part of their fine, as opposed to just dishing out fines. Governing bodies have to make sanctions big enough to act as deterant, rather than enable a club to predict and build them into their operations.
 
Yeah all those goals and assists are a nightmare
and with him starting on the right wing, top 4 is nothing short of a pipe dream. Our wingers can’t properly control the ball or do complex passing build-up play.

That’s before we even get to the complete lack of technical 1v1 ability. Johnson has his strengths but he only exacerbates the flaws in our larger attack as a whole - we give the ball away a lot, we can’t beat a low block because we haven’t got the technical ability, and we’re incredibly susceptible to counters as a result.
