Can you blame levy for that or just players that just couldnt make the step up. Soldado had 4 good GS seasons in a row before we signed him.

I do agree that the guy will never change. Whats baffling though is hes happy to throw 50 -60m on players like solanke, richarlison, johnson just because they wont ask for big wages.
If you sign B-listers, they'll perform like B-listers. Vlad can't be blamed for not turning into Sergio Ramos, he just didn't have that quality. But yeah, players aren't blameless either.

Soldado was great in Spain, but it didn't take a genius to figure out he was gonna struggle at Tottenham and in the PL.

Imagine what we coulda bought with the money wasted on Ndombele, Lo Celso, Richarlison and many others.
 
What’s that going to look like? Might get sent off a couple of times. Or steal someone’s glasses but he seemed to get on with his teammates alright at wolves.

Some people here think Romero is a liability having done less.

The fact is he was seemingly coming un-ravelled at one point last season..... Whether that was the pressure of a relegation battle or just being at-odds with being in such a lowly position in the first place. Signing him is not without legitimate concern.
 
I have no issue getting Eze. We still need a RW though with Johnson the only natural RW we have and the question is if we get Eze does that mean we don’t get a top RW?

Plus of course DM. For me RW and DM are the clear holes and Eze doesn’t fix that.

Ideally we get both but that’s not how the club operates. The club will think it has enough cover on the wings.

LW - Son(?) Tel, Odobert, Johnson, Richy, Moore
RW - Johnson, Kuku, Tel, Odobert

Get Eze. Get a 6. Hope we can sell off Richy, Biss, Gil, Solomon, Davies
 
All this talk about big money for wingers and 10s. What we need MOST is a world class 6. I can’t understand why it’s not our number 1 priority. Makes me question the recruiting team and the football department at large.

No one saying it isn't. But who is this world class #6 you're attracting to Spurs?

The best #6s are already at the big clubs or are way out of Spurs' price range
 
The best #6s are already at the big clubs.......

Such is the issue whenever people talk about signing a "world class" player............

.........Unless (in the case of eg Wirtz or Haaland they're yet to have the big-club-move) you've just been seen to be a league winner (or close to) then you're not on THEIR radar.
 
It's coming in September when all the other jam enthusiasts have bought the good stuff.
So... we're buying chutney.

"World class"?

..........Who?
Ok fair call. Not too many Rodris out there but the best we can get. Stiller, Rovella, Wharton or even (at a pinch) Onana from Villa. To me it’s THE most important position we need to fill. Let’s face it Bis and Bent aren’t up to it. We had the 6th best attack (statistically) last season but our defence was shit. Yes we had injuries but you need a defensive mid who does the defensive grunt work. We haven’t had one for …. God knows how long
