Isn't that what Abramovich did with the Chavs?

But for which players should we pay over the odds?
Would you have been happy if we had spent another £8m on N’dombele?
£10 on GLC?
you could go on and on. There’s no end to it. The club has to decide what the player is worth to them and try to get the deal done for that.
That’s apart from our scouting set up being able to choose players who will improve our squad. They have displayed no ability to do that at all.
I’d prefer no one than spunking our budget on sub-par players too.
If we aren’t getting traction with who we want, we need to use the loan market more astutely and reassess in the summer.
I swear to god if we can’t get Neves or Bissouma because we spent money on these clowns we need our head examined.
Especially with the positions/skill they bring.
I could maybe see it if it were at RWB/Striker/AM where we don’t have players so need an upgrade but marginal upgrades in areas we have players instead of a quality player doesn’t make sense.
I suspect that Enic development funds and THFC funds are separate..
IE Enic owns THFC but doesn't invest in it per se, the club has to raise it's own funds,
We ain't gonna throw extra money at players to prise them away.
If Vlahovic and Zakaria are the cornerstones of a new Juve dynasty, but Betancur and Kulusevski are studs for us and start our build toward glory under Conte, we win.
Yes, it is, well sort of - he certainly didn't transfer his entire personal wealth to CFC, but he did inject a lot of money. A few owners do that, but certainly not all, and they are under no obligation to do so - he might have other plans for his wealth that have nothing to do with THFC - you might as well forget about his personal wealth until he indicates an intention to invest it into THFC, which doesn't look likely to happen any time soon. You may want him to, but until he does, you wanting it is pretty much irrelevant to our transfer budget. We can't decide how other people spend their personal money, that's up to them.
January 10th:
What are we lacking? Creativity, pace, a proven leader at the back, a wingback that can cross the ball. OK so what do we definitely not need? Holding centre mids, we've got hojberg and skipp.
January 30th: Bentacur for 19 million euros you say....... That's too good to turn down

oh well looks like its happening
35 mill is way too much
The predicament we are in is we need both elite players and depth that can beat the Muras of the world.
I lean towards one elite over two mediocre players, too, but if we can improve the depth now and land a big one in the summer, I could live with that.
And here I was, thinking of the last time we signed a player that looked good in the CL once. What's his name again? Ah yeah...Tanguy N'Dombele.
So wow, Maz had a couple good games in the CL. Big friggin deal. That really makes up for 5+ underwhelming years as a pro.
No point except he's the majority share holder in Enic, but that doesn't mean he has to fund THFC transfers.
He has been good for Ajax in the league as well, but it really means something to play well against the likes of Bayern, Real Madrid and Chelsea in the CL, which he obviously did if you had watched the games. Ndombele is irrelevant here.
Professionally, I have achieved many things. Personally, I have won the league with Spurs on FM16/18/19/20 etc. Sometimes the gem you find at a club for sweet fuck all becomes your absolute engine. Look at wet spam, in real life, several players on loan who we collectively probably thought WTF are now driving them forward.
Let’s have a bit of faith in our coach and DoF and give them until the end of NEXT season. Yeah, it’s hard work being a Spurs fan but I’m old enough to remember 1984, 1991 and 2019… Believe people.

If we sign him outright for 35mil, that's basically the amount Juve spent on him 2 years ago.
"But he's massively flopped since, Daniel?!"
"Don't matter, pay the big bucks, gotta get someone in at all costs. And I'll sell him to Real for 80 in 2 years."
Well you're not wrong, in Joe Lewis' case you definitely can't....
Ah sorry must have messed up with my replies.
