I suppose that because I been supporting Spurs from days when UEFA Cup was UEFA Cup. I don't rate Europa or Conference League. Both are consolation prizes.

I don't rate any team we played in the Europa Cup as Worlds Best. I want Spurs to reach that Level. Our Stadium and profit margins have, why must our Trophies not show the same?

Im not so sure, the whole link seems so bullshit. As u say he wouldn't be interested in us.

52m thats laughable whether its true or not. Like even if its made up, why would anyone think of 52m as the fee?

Hes a 80m pound player in the current market, all day long.

It’s been several Madrid sources including their biggest paper I believe so something is going on just not anything that will bring him to us. My guess is they simply want to shift him for cash.

Before Ivan Toney arrived at Brentford, he'd played 154 games and scored 62 goals. Almost entirely in league one and league 2.
A goal every 2.5 games in the lower leagues is meh.
At Brentford - Mostly at PL level, a goal every 1.9 games. This includes a ban and playing for a club run on a budget.

Ollie Watkins was about 2.8 games per goal before Brentford. In his 3 seasons that dropped to 1.9 games in the 3rd of his 3 seasons.


Wissa and Mbuemo both increased outputs or at least at a higher level maintained it.

We should judge Solanke an Richie on what they do next, with coaching.

I like Frank as stated, and think in time he will.be good for us.

Solanke and Richarlison need to be upgraded for us to make a meaningful dent.I am certain of that

We need Quality and not quantity. We have only spent big on 1 new player and need to do so on 1/2 new players. Anything else like young players for the future or loans like Palhinha are extra and a bonus. We should hear more news today about Maddison’s injury and the length of time he will be out is crucial. As many have posted the options for a new No 10 are not great. Frank seems to want a new CB but with a couple of promising players that could be ready next season perhaps a loan would be better. Like others the striker options worry me more and I am less convinced on our prospects there than at CB. If we are to cover LB then it will be a loan.
The restrictions on CL numbers will mean some will not be registered but that should not stop us buying for PL.

Us hunting a CB, makes me worried Romero are going.

Yes im sure we are sniffing around for an opportunity. Most likely is a season loan so he plays every week ahead of the world cup.

We should 100% throw the kitchen sink at it, pay him the 250k and convince him he will be the superstar, the face of tottenham (although that will probably put him off) even give him a release clause if needs be ffs!

We're desperate for a sprinkle of stardust. We need a 10 but tbh if you had a player of rodrygos quality out wide with kudus on the other side you could sacrifice the midfield creativity and go more workmanlike in there.

His stats for goals are not incredible but hes done all that from the right cutting in onto his weaker left foot and even then hes still great. When hes on the left hes twice the player as he can go both ways.

With Madison and Kulu crocked, I'd say it would be like having a gun with no bullets buying a striker right now.
In time they could be upgraded, but we need to work on our chance creation first. Never know, they might suddenly click with more than cut backs to feed off.

That’s why Daniel might offer 52M , he only just got away with it when he offered the right price for MGW , lessons have been learned

Should be us having the mad window

This is our opportunity to risk on a bit with CL incomes. But we never take opportunities to push the boat out, we search for opportunities to spend less on players because their value has dipped

I agree we should be doing more. Just think if they've got 200 million to spend I don't think that's how I'd spend it in relation to that squad and I feel like they're going to have to get rid of some good players to solve the issues they still have. Nobody is spending any money on Hojlund, Onana or Antony, Garnacho will go for 60% of what he's worth because he's openly had a run in with the manager, Rashford will be loaned out until the end of his contract.

I dont think you are on your own and your assessment is right. The squad is well and truly lop sided due to no long term plan, constantly changing coach and having to build a squad for the incumbent coach who will get 2 years max. This is all on one man and one man only. I think this caught up with us last season but failing to address it means we will most certainly struggle again this season. But what defines a struggle? Some on here seem quite content with a 9th/10th/11th type finish. I see that as underachieving and more or less a struggle.

I am feeling quite despondent at the moment
I’d bite your hand off for 9/10 or 11th
I just can’t see how one player and another manager can catapult us us the league
