Fair points, but you can creatively bump your revenue by 10-20% annually. Anything beyond that will look awfully suspicious and invite much more scrutiny in today's environment than it would have in years past.

On top of that, it's not like the other teams will be standing still (we definitely will not). So if they bump their's by 20% and we bump ours by 10%, that still leaves them with a lot of ground to catch up. They're not catching up with us anytime soon. They'll be the best of the rest and occasionally break into the top 4, but that'll be it for the foreseeable future.

It is with the assumption of FFP being actually enforced, once again.

To me, situation will be clear like from now to end of 2025. If breachers get punished and City also gets punishment, then we are talking. But if not, new ways will be found to pump hundreds of millions into their toy-teams and Chelsea-PSG-City-Newcastle revolution continues.

This window and current situation is step in right direction, but all is not decided just yet.
 
Maybe it's just me as a spurs fan but transfer deadline day is always shite: either we buy no one or we sell one of our best players. The endless hawking of the so-called excitement of the day by talksport and Sky and that utter partridge Jim White leaves me flaccid 🤣

Tbf Xavi leaving would have an impact if he was the one pushing the conversation (though it seems it was more Deco led).

Obviously first team squad will make a difference too.

Feels like it could be us but dont see why there would be a rush to decide today when he won't leave until the summer.

Agreed, at the moment our only true player similar is Bissouma and while brilliant can also be slightly erratic. Bentancur can cover that role but I still think he is a box to box more than a deep playmaker.

I think we need more than one natural number 6 in the squad, this would be a good buy unless they think Tyrese Hall is ready to step up which I suspect is too early.

Biss isn't a DLP (deep lying yes; playmaker? Nah)..... He's a box 2 box masquerading as a #6.

Of the two, Bentancur has by far the more versatile passing range in his locker.
