Not hot on Osh tbh.
But yeah, we're still shopping in the bargain basement having made CL and won a Euro trophy.
Tragic club.

Hard to disagree, and hardly the kind of approach that woupd appeal to any potential manager.

Yep- Levy lets other clubs shop first so he has more bargaining power with the players left over.

Spurs’ wage bill was slashed last year, dropping £29.2m (12 per cent) to £221.9m. That’s over £100m less than the rest of the ‘Big Six’, with Woolwich’s £327.8m the closest of that group. Spurs’ wages to revenue of 42 per cent is the Premier League’s lowest.
The ratio isn’t just low for the Premier League — it’s low for football. Of the 20 clubs that spend the most on wages in Europe, Spurs’ wages to revenue is the lowest. Only AC Milan (46 per cent) and Real Madrid (48 per cent) came in under the 50 per cent mark. That’s hardly poor company to be in, but each of those clubs have won their domestic titles in recent years (and, in the case of Madrid, a fair bit more besides). Spurs, as if you need reminding, haven’t. There is a fine line between prudence and penny-pinching.
He is left footed but can play on the right as well.Should be useful defending corners, 6’5” I believe.
Lol I love these transfer window threads.
Everyone melting over something a weirdo fancies tweeting.
Always gazing enviously at whichever club is seen to be 'winning the window' only to then be shit when the footy starts.
It's June 3rd FFS. Get a grip.

Let’s not pretend we’re a perennial CL club too. We have champ league next season. After that is a big unknown.
Reckon it’s 35% now that dara is out of date
Wonder if we could sell our participation and opt out? Our squad was wrecked by the UEFA league, we simply aren’t serious or organised enough to enter the competitionBreaking
Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League spot has decided it wants to join Manchester United next season. UEFA and Man United set to finalise details. #ITK
I'd assume Lloris, Ndombelly and Kane's wages essentially made up for this drop. Having also now slashed Werners wage off the bill, we have capacity to increase our wage bill significantly to bring in elite players and, bump up our best players wages.
I would argue that it is also an indicator of a well-run club. Villa for instance may be in trouble now without Champions League $$$ next season.
If true i'm very excited. Just need a good manager.
ITK claim?
MLS can't pay a fee like that, and Son doesnt strike me as the sort that would play in Saudi.
Son will be here next season.

My mate works at the telegraph - so it's not ITK, just whatever goes into the usual gossip columns.
I hope Son stays, still is an elite player.
MLS - Well, they are growing. Amiron from Newcastle went for 25m, which was a miracle. Son has a unique appeal - probably the most famous Asian sportsman on the planet, he brings a huge audience with many marketing opportunities. Now that Messi is on his way out of the MLS - they certainly have some money to throw into the next poster boy.
Almiron was $10M (including add ons which might not be reached).
I do feel like Son's next stop will be MLS, but I think it will be after this season (though he's surely thinking about riding off into the sunset).
I’d sell Son this summer.
Not that I trust Levy to sanction the wages required to sign a world class player te replace him but I’d still sell him.
It depends who the manager is for me. If we are gonna be more pragmatic, play on transition, then I think he can still offfer something. If Ange is staying and he will be a touchline winger again, then it’s better he goes.
I’d sell Son and keep Ange or hire a coach with a similar mentality.
