I thought we were "data driven" now. Seems we're just going after players everyone knows are on the move. Desperate times I guess.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
It's common that agents play clubs up against each other. For example, Man Utd were dragging their feet but once Spurs got actively involved they changed their plans and are now "pushing" Rashford to Villa - and Man Utd know they have to match of improve the offer Spurs made.
Tel, no doubt, is a talent with huge potential ...but his career trajectory has not been expected, which is why he's hardly getting any playing time at Bayern.
I do applaud levy improving academy and may have to use that more to grow more as club. Possible we might have got Tel under peak poch. But until we consistently challenge or win things, elite cast offs wont join us imo. Sound like a parrot but should never explored muani or tel in first place. Both rejected us a few years ago. Pointless renewing interest.
The end of transfer window letter to the fans will be interesting
This is the latest news from Germany as we speak.
How about signing some good players that are not already at big clubs
Think the club are heavily investing in academy or players with potential imo. The only way to get the elite players in our position if we had a chelsea or city owner....pay way over odds to get them. That's how they did it to begin with. PSR blocks that now though.Okay so what are we meant to do then?
The thing is, as shit as our league position looks, we’re 1-0 up in a semi final, still in the FA Cup and into the last 16 of the Europa league.
If Tel wants to turn that down to be a bench option elsewhere then so be it. I don’t think a move to Utd will be a great one for him, but I might be wrong. Villa however would be a good move.
So there's nothing we could have done in that case but to try and get these sort of players...kind of answering your own question it sounds like
Only seen him live twice and was impressed both times. These games:

Like?
Who was available this window who we could have signed from a smaller club?
You are welcome to accept Levy’s view of Tottenham being the biggest of the little clubs. I personally don’t buy such a position.
By mosts metrics we can use to measure clubs, Tottenham will trump Villa, excluding 81 perhaps. When the season ends we can point at the table. And say so and so are bestest.
I genuinely think Tottenham will go down this season. I hope to be incorrect.
On that point Villa went down as recently as 2016. Four days before we played in the Champions League final in 29, Villa beat Derby in the play offs to come back up to the Premier League. Now we are below them in the pecking order of a not especially exciting 19 year old. Thats the absurd part.
To borrow your quote, if you can't accept any of that then don't waste your time in here.
This cunt is gonna turn us down too isn't he
Just when you think we have sunk to the lowest depths , they dig up a new low
