He does seem to score goals wherever he plays but I read he doesn't want to play for us, he wants AC Milan.

Fans should contact ENIC and say “ due to my wage structure I’ll be giving you £500 for a season ticket “
I'm not saying we can immediately sign 5 players on 150k/week, it's just an example that makes the irksome phrase "Tottenham can't sign X because they don't fit within the clubs wage limits" we hear every transfer window bullshit. They're self imposed limits, probably because they're looking to sell and for investment.
We definitely have enough revenue to sign more players though:
"Spurs’ revenue last term was £550m, giving them a PSR budget of £467.5m.
For context, Spurs their expense last season (wages and amortisation) were £282m. This would give them more wriggle room than almost any other club in the new PSR era.
Whether the owners – and perhaps new minority investors – are willing and able to bankroll greater expenditure is a separate issue."
Daniel Levy and Tottenham have just received £129m PSR setback
The Leicester City PSR ruling will not be welcomed by Tottenham and Daniel Levy, who are staunch advocates of Premier League's spending rules.
We need someone to analyse our accounts in more detail vs peers to understand the cost base. People are obsessing about wage ratio but we have spent a lot on fees and that is obv paid out of the remaining %. Is it also less than peers? Probably - but other clubs have owner investment to help and obv Levy and Lewis choose not to
That money needs to come from somewhere though. They really need to either bring in outside investment as capital and spend (selling a small stake), or just fuck off and sell outright for a fair price. They bought the club for £30M. Whether it’s 3, or 4BN (sale), take the money and run you utter weaselsI'm not saying we can immediately sign 5 players on 150k/week, it's just an example that makes the irksome phrase "Tottenham can't sign X because they don't fit within the clubs wage limits" we hear every transfer window bullshit.

Why can't it come from the profits from our 5th highest in the league revenue?
Levy/ENIC trying to sell the club or get investment will be like them trying to sell the naming rights. The valuation will be far too high and nothing will happen for years.
It could and it should but they would probably argue they arw already paying the money committed on fees over the last five years or so? We’ve spent 460M so that’s probably being spread at about 100M pa
Don’t forget that we are also receiving payments from clubs for players we’ve sold
Truth is it’s a self imposed wage structure that is well within our finances & we have lots of leg room in ffp . It’s a decision made by the board & even while we are looking over our shoulders because of our league position , they don’t seem to fussed
I bet he doesn’t cook the Sunday roast at his gaff , it would be burnt to a crisp
I appreciate he probably has some poor sod do it for him
It’s simple. Some of us are old enough to remember Ted DiBiase in the WWF.
He was the “Million Dollar Man” who’s catchphrase was…..”everyone’s got a price!!!”
Same applies in football. You want any player if you pay the club and players enough they will sign. No guarantee that they will be any good by just paying over the odds. Look at united.
But it’s definitely a case for spurs that “to do is too dear.”

A late move?
It’s already 3 weeks late and cost us an injury to our 60m striker
Leaving it as late as possible so when it collapses we can just say we ran out of time.
The only thing worse than doing nothing is panic buying. Which is what we'll probably do and it will be more overpriced average players cluttering up the squad and then you're into sell before we buy.
It really does speak to the inadequecies of the summer windows that every January we're having to cover for things we didnt do over the summer.

We shouldn't be panic buying though. The identification and selection of players should be a year round operation. From the moment the window closed in the summer the winter window should be getting planned. Our injury pile up started in autumn.
I don't mind opportunism but it can't be the only tactic. But it seems that's just how we roll.
Watching MOTD, Isak really is class isn't he.
Now sons legs are gone we need to find that talismanic presence that is an absolute menace for defences

Almost at the end of January and still, no sign of additional signings i find it staggering the negligence.
The team will probably win today, that will provide the club with an excuse not to buy.
