But I thought we were talking transfer targets before he signed on.
Which is it ?
Its nearly like they post shite lies to have mugs go to their site so they can make money on ads.
That makes perfect sense. But at the same time we have no real identification of targets.
You don’t use an ad-blocker?
I hope they are already working on a list B because the market wont wait until spurs got their shit together...
That his limitations though.
Get players on low wages so bring in the likes of Bergvall, Gray, Vuskovic as a means to get elite talent without paying high wages, the downside being they won’t be elite for years afterwards and a few of them will fail. I don’t see Lange’s signings as bad in the context of buying future stars. I mean there are two ways we can go.
1 Lange get in future stars for low wages.
2 Paratici get a guy who has a big book of contacts to get under priced deals.
We don’t really have much of an alternative to this unless we are willing to accept big wages and agent fees.
I realised that all this young player focus, from Bergvall to Boast, from Grey to Kinsky, is a bear market to flip players after a few years for big profits. It is complimented by messaging fans about more jam tomorrow. It is quite extraordinary the capacity of some fans for this hubris. The club falls behind footballistically twice a year. Once during the summer transfer window and again at the end of the league season. Both reinforce the other's retardation. Another mediocre/poor league season means nobody world class is willing to go to Spurs. Because of this, the club falls back on trying to strike gold in a lottery of young player purchases. A simbiotic downward spiral.
I agree but I don’t see how being a guy that can only sign players 3-4 years off the top level or mid level guys is enough to be the DOF at a club this size.
Granted Levy is setting those budget limits
Tottenham could attract big players if, they made themselves more attractive EG, paying the wages big players want.
We don't, so are left with the Haringey creche being ransacked.
Will always be the case under this ownership.
The sooner they go the better …
Not currantly.
Lange isn’t our DoF he is our technical director. Ideally we need a DoF hence the Paratici coming back links.
Figured as much.
Fair
But the way the structure has been described by Frank, I’m not clear they will bring a DOF in
Well, it's not the version Fabrizio Romano tells.
It's one thing an agent telling him a deal is happening, and another for him to pretend he knows what is happening in a club that has put a lot of public effort into plugging leaks. I don't think our targets have leaked at all under Lange, and it's usually a signing out of nowhere
Drawing up a list wtf, targets and out goings so.e of which would have been discussed during interviews.
Were you privy to those interviews? If not, then shut the fuck up because you are guessing.
