We spent big once becuase we sold a player for £90 odd million. Who do say we should sell to do this again? If we need five players then we ain't getting 5 £15-20m ones.
If you ever think that we will lay out over £100m in one window without doing so, then you ain't got a clue.
I can guarantee that it's not that we don't want to spend big again, it's because we can't.
The clubs spend with the most spend large amounts as the window opens. Just like when we had big money coming in when we spent big and early.
We will have to wait till near the end because that's how the window works. It's a knock on effect.
Just like when we had big money coming in when we spent big and got it done early, bar the Lamela/Willian stuff.
I can guarantee you this, if we wanted Austin he would have come.

I think we're ok when it comes to the number of central midfielders we have, but an upgrade on Mason is key. Would be happy with Bentaleb/Mason/Dembele/New CM and Alli as a challenger for the first team squad. We need one more signing if Dembele goes though.
You don't have to be a Gymnast!
fellaini suspended! woop woop.
bentaleb man marked him out the game in the 2nd half. so we could have done that ploy again if he was playing.
Funny thing is that last season Moussa wasn't out with injuries like he usually has. Maybe there is more to why MP hasn't picked him. I know he cannot last 90 mins flat out and he's injury prone.
Maybe he was used rather well by MP considering he was available all of last season and before he was a constant on the injury table.
Fitness is key to performance.
The thought of Mason starting any game is a worrying one
Wow, if Dembele also gets sold, expect something big from Levy. We have effectively raised/will raise 30-35 million pounds by selling all the midfielders who were basically nowhere near the first team last season. I hope it is someone bigger than McCarthy! Have nothing against him, but with 30-35 million made from sales, we should go all out for a Moutinho + Bender/Kramer combo or atleast something similar with 2 really good players replacing 5-6 average players.
Yeah, it would be crazy to use some young players as back-up to the first team. It's not like we just signed the players voted the best players in the Championship and League 1, or that our most consistent outfield players last season were Kane, Bentaleb and Rose. Clearly stupid people
Have not quite understood the fascination with Berahino from Spurs fans. Attitude/drinking problems, has the usual hype due to being English and has effectively been good for a few random spots while being mediocre for several games.
Reminds me a lot of Darren Bent to be honest in terms of a player doing well in a smaller team which plays to his strengths! Is he honestly a bigger prospect than Townsend?
does he still do the cartwheel celebration or is he too old for that. might need a hip replacement if he does.Robbie Keane scored a hatrick. Sign him up!
well i never said we shouldnt use youngsters as back up so i dont know why u are getting moody with me.
Love the last sentence - means she can claim it even if we sign him in a few seasons time
