...you wouldn't take Eze over Biss? Of course if it was that simple.
Jackson ... ????Biss Out 25m. Eze in 69m.
Romero Out 50m. Branthwaite In 70m.
Richarlison Out 20m. Jackson In 45m.
In 95m. Out 184m.
Annual wage increase probably 10m?
All doable for the 9th richest club in the world.
Then we need to spend more money which means less money on more critical positions like DM, RW.
We've got people in the fanbase that want to sign from CHELSEA...We've actually got people in this fanbase who want to sign Jackson...
Fuck sake.
You are forgetting Carlo Cudicini.I wouldn't take Jackson, there are far better attackers than him. Jackson misses more than he scores and anyway Chelsea never do business with Spurs and vice versa - ever
May be go for loan given his age?Would be a good signing for 15/20m imo. Older head tough tackling no6 exactly what we need
But a lot of people were happy with spending money on Tel! Also a lot happy with a champo player like odo. Add in Solanke, Johnson and Richi and it is mid table at best. We needed to improve the attackers last season but we got odo. Ange said we needed to improve. Same now but how many more can we buy and how much have we already spent yet everyone still says we need to improve the attack.Tel-Dom-Odo

I actually think Frank can do a lot with this. What it can't do is compete for Top 4 in the Prem or get out of the CL group stages though.
I think Frank can pilot this to a 6th-9th place finish. We will need better attackers if we seriously want to compete for top 4 or reach the CL knockout rounds.
Bit late to this but are we really counting that week before the CWC as a full transfer window?!Everyone else is making signings and improving their squads for next season. Meanwhile Tottenham:
- Missed one transfer window where we could have signed players to improve our squad instead pissing about appointing a new manager.
- Re signed a 33 year old who is past his best on a 1 year contract extension.
- Re signed a 20 year old who never solved our problem last season in the front line and sign him again because he has potential.
- Announcing 4 residential towers will be built.

What a team that would be.
I’d rather MichaelWe've actually got people in this fanbase who want to sign Jackson...
Fuck sake.
Of course he would come across as arrogant, he was a serial winner that somehow joined our beloved clusterfuck (also worth noting that most of the black players from that ajax side got labelled as arrogant when they joined other european teams, as did Gullit and Rijkaard before them). The idea of Keane knocking out Davids is also hilarious. Signing any world class player at that stage in our development, whether they had lost their shine or not, was still transformative. He had an aura that never softened, even if his speed of thought had. Was quite literally the most magnificent thing to happen for me personally, as he had been my favourite player of the previous 10 years. Wonderful stuffYeah maybe but some stories I've heard that he wasn't particularly liked and a bit arrogant. Keane knocked him out at training once apparently?
Anyway the discussion was about signing WC players and David's was not world class at that point in his career
Tricky with our squad
