Spot on. And by the way, even if we spend 150m on Baleba and Mitoma, we’d have still spent significantly less than the top 4.

We’re not spending 90m on Baleba or Wharton. At this point just get players who have skills that we don’t have.
Would settle for:
Kudus 55m
El Khannouss 25m
Lamine Camara 35m
A good young LB - Tom Rothe from Union Berlin looks good on the datasets.
El Khannouss and Camara give us passing progression.
Kudus and El Khannouss give us dribbling.
Kudus and Camara give us physicality.
It’s not enough to bridge the gap to the top sides by itself, but it gives us a fairly well balanced squad and we have to hopeThat Frank can develop the younger players fairly quickly.

Honestly, yeah that is probably the best we could hope for.
We will get Paulinha on loan and Harvey Elliot for way too much money though
yep! can see it coming a mile off, weve already wasted big dough on crap in the last 5 years, need to make the leap and get players that are far more likely to be a success than these fairly lumpy punts.
Rodrygo is open to joining Spurs
Rodrygo want a better club than Spurs
Rodrygo would consider Spurs offer
Rodrygo wants a top club
etc etc

He probably has some chloroform you can try if you ask him really nicely.
Rodrygo NOT coming to spurs.
I think people are calling gray out waaay to soon.
If you go back to the start of last season and watch how technically good he was, footwork in tight situations, winning tackles, winimg duels(yes at fullback) you can see he has it. The end of the season run outs he was clearly not match sharp and the team was a mess
It doesn't take much with these talented young players for it to click and quite often when they do and things snowball quickly.
Hes got his head screwed on, works hard and is the type of player to really crack on and keep at it until its right. In this sense he is completely different to somebody like say bissouma who's whole entire life is one big freestyle.
In the last pre season game (his first outing under frank btw) he was paired with bissouma and it was all wrong. They were looking for the same spaces, moving into the same spaces and it was a mess with zero connection with one another.
I wouldn't want him starting every minute of every game but he's my pick for this season in terms of development, closely followed by tel, then odobert.
Im not a fan of the paulinha links but putting myself in Frank's shoes I can see why we're interested. Somebody in our squad he can watch and learn from is the best way to help him develop. Gray is not as far away as people think.

Mcatee from City could be useful. I know people might say he does not score enough but Cole Palmer only made about 19 appearances for City (not all starts) without a goal. It’s the Pep grounding.
You’ll probably get pushback but you are 100% right. People online are addicted to misery. They’re ether very unfulfilled people or the internet brings out the worst in them.

Still just another young signing we'd be hoping will take the next step....
Matheus Fernandes over the young Leicester no. 10
Shady..I bet itsKosher Kid
Been quiet on here.
I think.
I have him on ignore but usually can the others quoting him left right and center.
If we were a big club with the season we just had, we would buy wharton, rodrygo and simons. As a fucking statement. As much a kick up the ass to our squad (who should be embarrassed by last season’s domestic form) as a statement to everyone else in the game
I wish for a better comparison but he literally reminds me so much of Terry in how he plays I couldn't think past him, the guy scored bags of goals for a CB and if Vuskovic is as good I'll be tickled pink, much as I find him a repulsive shitbag of a human being (Terry that is).
Solanke 10th August, Lo Celso 14th, Sessegnon 8th, the transfer window was delayed for the Reguilon signing and closed on October 5th, as far as I'm concerned with Daniel Levy's Spurs having the player in before the first game of the season is an early window purchase. Yes that speaks more to the inadequacies of our board/chairman than anything but this isn't the "gotcha" you think it is.Lo Celso - August 2019
Sessegnon - August 2019
Reguilon - September 2020
Solanke - August 2024
