we should be dropping 50mil on the table to Leeds for RaphinhaIf You miss out on Luis Diaz because Liverpool beat you to it or it got leaked too early etc.. Fine. That's fine.
But what is KEY is how you react to that. If Spurs are actually angry then go make a reaction signing to that.
Conte clearly wants A RWB and CM and ST.
So this is what you do. Use that £50m you were willing to spend on Diaz on those positions. Maybe 1 of tose positions , or maybe all 3. BUT PLAYERS THAT IMPROVE THE FIRST XI. because that's what Conte wants.
We clearly have some money so let's actually spend it.
Some suggestions?
Wirtz , Nkunku , Aouar , Bissouma
Doku , Raphinha , Anthony , David , Bowen , Danjuma
Lamptey
All are gettable...
And that takes some doingNot been online much over the last few days so just been catching up. Fucking hell, what a mess. I had extremely low expectations of this window, but it’s genuinely looking like we may come out of it in a worse position than when we started.
But backing the manager is the priority herewe should be dropping 50mil on the table to Leeds for Raphinha
We just won’t do it
Zero ambition
It really is relentlessly amazing.
Conte loves fast players, yet we've been linked with two slugs as our most probably transfers.
Why are we being tormented like this??
We never saw the Betis player.I never saw it with lo Celso. I saw glimpses of brilliance with Ndombele but lo Celso was always a mix of meh and injuries
Have you seen him play and know for sure that he's a shit player?Another shit serie a player or Mendez client
Fuck sake
Can't say I agree with you my Iberian brother. I had high hopes, liked the little I'd seen and was won over by a Betis mate's ravings. Thought he started quietly then really started picking up, then.... oh yeah... got injured. And again. And again. Then he seemed to get better for international games...I never saw it with lo Celso. I saw glimpses of brilliance with Ndombele but lo Celso was always a mix of meh and injuries
We did. For that 3 month stint when Jomo took over.We never saw the Betis player.
This makes me sad.I can't even be bothered to lol tbh.
Levy's finally broken me.
We chose this club so wet deserve itIt really is relentlessly amazing.

Whilst by and large you are right it’s not quite that simple. For top It’s often a mix of fixed payment and a % of all sales.We don't get much income from shirt sales. That goes to the manufacturer this is a common misconception we get a lump sum when we sign a deal. Plus 80m on a striker who will at least have to split playing time while the rest of the team is pants seems a bit silly.
Spot on mate.This is fast becoming a comical mess. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted Ndombele, GLC and others away from this club, but loans with no option to buy, half wages etc does no fucking help to us whatsoever. Loaning Bryan Gil and getting in a Juventus sub ? Literally desperation and I’m pretty certain Spurs are a social experiment to see how far you can push a football fan. Is there any other way of explaining the ludicrous nature at our club ? Spurs Better have something truly special lined up incoming Monday otherwise I see it getting incredibly toxic quick at the next home game
Wirtz is gettable if you are willing to pay like £70-80m+ for him. He won't come much cheaper than Havertz.If You miss out on Luis Diaz because Liverpool beat you to it or it got leaked too early etc.. Fine. That's fine.
But what is KEY is how you react to that. If Spurs are actually angry then go make a reaction signing to that.

I guarantee you could get one of those players I listed for the money they were willing to offer for Diaz.Wirtz is gettable if you are willing to pay like £70-80m+ for him. He won't come much cheaper than Havertz.
Bissouma still is not cleared of rape charges.
And if Liverpool are after Raphina ... see Luis Diaz.
Not very likely that West Ham will sell one of their best players, Bowen, to Spurs.
Aouar was hot 2 seasons ago ...
Yes, all are gettable but for crazy money - something Levy won't do.
