But like, Brazil is not a place Premier League clubs are stumping for corporate sponsorships and summer tours and Brazil has MUCH bigger stars than Richy.

When Son leaves we are still going to be pushing for support in Asia, probably complimented by the US slightly more than now, but ultimately it's just going to come down to the global impact of stardom and especially winning games, we don't have the Best Asian Player Ever handsome goal-scoring star boost to lean on anymore.

By way of example, the biggest boost in attention our social media channels ever got was signing Mourinho. Not because of some Portuguese boost, but because he's just a globally famous name to football fans everywhere. It was a bigger impact than reaching the CL final.

I get you.

Does a player like Rodrygo replace that?

I’m not sure he replaces it anymore than Richy does tbh.

At this moment, my confidence atm for next season is where I was when santini was appointed. Very underwhelmed.

Ange got more backed than this, and though the window isnt over, its not exactly looking great is it?

No important outgoings particularly for Biss and Richarlison, and only strengthening RW in a position where our top goal scorer plays, regardless of how poor he is overall. Its a very bad look.

Tbh I think our expectations have been lowered so much that any signing right now will seem like a win.

Garnacho and the likes of nunez are the best we can possibly muster, I fear.

Having said that......I do have a hunch that wherever nunez moves too, he will finally begin to fulfil some promise. I think he never should have moved to pool, the shirt weighs heavy and he does work incredibly hard.

Garnacho seems a total prick though. He has talent for sure, but not for me.

I'm loathe to see more average dross coming through the door. We need to start acting like a big club, especially after the "Our goal is to win the league" nonsense.

If we've learned anything from the last 5/6 years is that we throw shot at the wall in the hope that it sticks, and thus far, very little is sticking.

I would be much happier singing one high profile player this summer than 6 that don't move the needle. But, I'm realistic and know that's not going to be the case, and the status quote will continue.

60,000 spurs fans inside the ground with your attitude, you’re correct, would be powerless

We did it with sugar, I took one round the back of the head from old bill and it was all worth it

(Classy pendantry on the your/re)

You really think that 60,000 fans inside the stadium and another 60,000 outside chanting "Levy out" would make any difference? You can't be that naive.

And it's pedantry not pendantry.
