How Dry should our Powder be?

Perhaps.

That principle does work both ways though. We have to make it clear we’re committed to the player too. Observing from afar and sending out speculative enquiries like some deviant public flasher means great players who have options open to them might not think we’re serious.

We’re not Real Madrid and we’re not the top of the pile.
Pricisely. This whole "he must have failed the Ange telephone interview" cope is already wearing thin.

Players have a finite amount of time to A. Win trophies and B. Make a shit ton of money in the process - not only for themselves, but their families (not forgetting some are from backgrounds where they're carrying a lot more on their shoulders than you'd like to believe).

In our current position, we don't offer either anywhere near the level of many other clubs in the EPL or the rest of Europe so I don't understand where this hubris comes from whereby if you don't want to join Tottenham then you're the problem.

Just recall it was exactly year ago Harry Kane left just for a whiff of trophy. I firmly believe that if we'd won even a Carabao cup the season before he would have considered ending his career with us.

No man takes his family from London to Munich without a monumental level of desperation. No man.

I asked again, and again got told we are close on another. This is being kept tight that nobody leaks or gets a sniff.

So 48 hours after people were worried we might never make another signing ( Jarritos Jarritos - it’s like 2018 all over again!) … and 12 hours after people were in awe at West Ham… we spend 60m.

Anyone want to bet against more significant spending?
You're an absolute disingenuous twat to claim I said we would never spend money.

Do you want me to bring receipts? Yes or no?
 
Solanke seems like a nice lad. The fact that he’s supposedly desperate to come here is good too.

Is he good enough? Guess we’ll find out.
 
Agree with you nutter

But what I will say is for 2 seasons Bale was the best player I ever saw watching spurs

The amount of bets my pal won on ‘spurs to win and bale to score’ and variations of the like was laughable

He didn’t do it for long enough to be the greatest but for 2 years imo he was the best.
Fell in love with Spurs watching Berba. Loved his ‘silky’ skills BUT:
Bale took it to another level. As Deuterz Deuterz said, there was an air of anticipation for the duration of every game because you felt Bale could or would turn the match himself. It was fucking electric.

Harry was different but I, personally, never got that lovesick, stomach churning feeling I did with Bale. I remain convinced — as I’ve posted before so sorry to repeat myself — if Gareth were English then you would have won a major championship.
 
I can't believe we dithered so long with Neto that someone else slipped in and nabbed him....

Why does this always happen to us?

It's so unfair.

We really, really, really, really tried, guys.

#WeTriedGuys
I can't believe that you are so bothered about a hugely overpriced and evidently broken player.

You all moan about Lo Celso and Sessegnon and so on being permanently injured and then freak out because we didn't sign Neto...

What am I missing here?
