I love how you seem to know the inner orkings of not only Spurs' board, but Milan's as well.

Piatek isn't even that good. You just want a body, irrespective of quality.


I know exactly how the club operates. We act like amateurs in the transfer window every fucking season. It doesn’t take a football genius to know Spurs are absolutely pathetic in the transfer window and always have been. I want a striker because we have no one ffs. If I wanted anyone, I would of said let’s get Bentenke, but I want someone of a bit more quality and Piatek is probably the best we can get realistically right now. He might not be world class, but he’s a traditional number 9 and what we desperately need. If you honestly think the club are correct in not buying a striker, you are in cloud cuckoo land.
 
Who until last january, when a team was playing for him (Genoa), was outscoring Ronaldo and Icardi.
Kevin Phillips once outscored Alan Shearer.

Not sure of the point.

We have seen, and been the biggest culprits, of frivolous over spending on average players.

The same people who critised us for selling Bale in the first place and replacing him with guff are now sugestting overspendin without due thought.

That window set us back year. Yet we want to do the same again?
 
I’m fucking tired with people making excuses. If we want a good player, pay the fucking price. If not, wait forever to get an unlikely discount.
Liverpool paid 70m for a defender in January and people were laughing at them. See how he’s doing.
They were also negotiating that for 6 months. Jose has been here for 2 months. £70m deals don’t fall out of the sky. There’s a reason why theirs been a lot of loan chatter this window.
 
Funny comparison.

They were paying for the best defender in the League.

We're talking about Piatek.



so you know Piatek well do you ? He’s 24 ffs. Who’s to say he might come to the prem and set the league On fire. FYI, Van Dyke was nowhere near the established world star he is now. Liverpool took that risk and are now reaping the benefits. Spurs, the amateurs in the market take the piss and now we find ourselves struggling near midtable, go figure.

Summer 2019 says you’re an idiot.

The club would be correct in buying the RIGHT striker. Not anyone that happens to be on the bench of Serie A's 8th best side.

As for not spending.

We've committed over £150m on new players in the last 6 months alone.

The same guys begging us to drop £25m on Ryan Sessegnon are now butchering the kid.

Wow. We also went a whole season without spending a single penny and are now paying for that in terms of league position. That amateur decision by the club has now cost us, pathetic.

I don't want just some random signing, which is why I was not that sold on signing Gedson (still am not), and don't want neither Willian Jose, Morellos or even Muriqi for that matter (which is very bizarre because I'm albanian and you'd think I would feel very proud having an albanian at Spurs). But, I've seen enough of Piatek last year, and he was just incredible. I can safely say that his goal drought this year has come from Giampaolo and Pioli being completely incompetent and Calhanoglu alongside Suso being utter rubbish who don't pass the ball.
