Agreed. We actually have the players for 353 or 433

If you're talking money (which you are!) then Lucas covered his own fee given his impact on that CL run and the money it generated.
Perhaps this is about differing expectations between you and I of what constitutes success.
None of those sides have won a trophy in over a decade and neither have we, so I'd say we are very comparable to those sides in that regard.
Putting the history aside for a moment as well our aspirations are the same as theirs. West Ham, Villa and Everton are all striving for European football.
None of us look likely of winning anything any time soon.
I don't think we have any grounds to claim to be superior to those clubs until we actually win a pot or three.
Great points.
We absolutely need performances and not moments.
For a while we were quite simply unbelievable because we had both.
Our biggest problem is Levy.
What the hell is this lol
1/10 success rate
Our "record transfer" list is more similar to West Ham's than other top four rivals
Woolwich spent £129 in the summer and they are just starting to see the benefits of it.
we are slipping further behind
Interesting because I wouldn’t have picked Doc or Tanganga last night
Looks like 1-0 to Sammy
Well there was no mention of the word "success" in the post I replied to; nor my post that I made....
Only one of those teams has been involved in title challenges, CL finals, other cup finals, uninterupted Europen qualification inc. 5 years in the CL.... And (however meek) one of us can actually boast a trophy in the last 15 years.
"Strive" being the operative word in all but our case.
Nah (see above).
I understand you're feeling down; but the notion that WH & Villa are 'up there' with us in terms of recent history is bordering on offensive.... Even Everton; I'll only mildly concur because I'm old enough to remember them being a force in the 80s.... But like you suggest; that's 35/40 years ago.
I never said they didn’t have needs, ours are appreciably greater is what I said. If you don’t think that you are entitled to your opinion . To have a competitive squad will take a huge influx of players in and out.
Far from easy, however it will be a bit easier if we manage to secure CL football next season. I would like to have a go for it by strengthening in Jan and preferably before the 31st. We have Chavski and Woolwich coming up
Kind of reminds me of a great car analogy.
BHP determines how fast you hit a wall.
Torque determines how thick the wall has to be to stop you.
Traore has a lot of torque. We just need to have players on the other side of the wall when he gets through. They may have to tackle him themselves as the pass will probably be shit.
Everton spend money and expenditure alone is not the answer.
Ndombele was hardly a pint of lager and a packet of crips purchase, although no one was to know he would be such a waste of space.
You can't force teams to sell us players. You don't know what was said between Levy and Conte. You don't know what money is actually available. You probably don't understand the limitations we have with squad management in terms of foreign and overseas. We may be waiting for 2-3 to leave before we sign some one. It may even be that we have to see who leaves before deciding who we can sign.
It's day 6. Chill.
It seems when we decide to spend decent money on a player it’s always the wrong one.
Our scouts pick out suitable players, we get bids rejected, then sign whoever is cheap. That's what it looks like to me. very pick is the cheapest. Apart from maybe Ndombele.
if only the scouts looked on here at all the amazing options we bring foward
title winners we could be
No it’s not- it’s what Spurs think Adama will cost according to The Athletic article
Kane is miles better than Dele
