Sick and fucking tired of the stupid brigade who can't grasp that there's something in between 1) no/negative net spend and 2) City-oil-money-spray.

Why is it so fucking wrong to expect that your team - when qualified to the CL while playing PL and cups as well - strengthens the squad so that it can rotate but maintain a starting 11 of players with proven ability at the same time? Yeah, we need to get the academy players in the team over time, but we shouldn't have to rely on them all making a "Dele Alli" in the two toughest competitions in the world. We were very lucky with injuries last season, some players were unexpected revelations, and still we looked very weak when resting some of the core players.

It doesn't mean that you have to spend billions. But if you think Tottenham can't afford spending 30-40-50 million, and wouldn't benefit from doing so, you're a fucking imbecile.

Excluded middle fallacy. Apparently you're either a melter or for want of a better word a 'happy clapper'.
I'm stoked with improving depth in ST and DM but frustrated by weakish depth elsewhere.

Subs: Vorm, Davies, Wimmer, Wanyama, N'Kouduo/Clinton, Son, Janssen

The melting is not proportionate. We HAVE improved. Our best 18 is better than last year's. It's the depth players that may or may not prove to be worse. Isco would've been superb but we knew that wasn't going to happen - didn't we? Yes, a player earmarked for the starting XI would've been ideal but one could think we got significantly worse over the summer but we didn't. We won't spend big again until the stadium is done.

We havent improved our starting 11 when the clubs round us have

Shouldn't be in that position in the first place when you leave it late what do you expect.

Another spot on post. We got it right with Wanyama & Jannsen. Absolutely the right time to get what you need to strengthen. Then we sell a couple of very handy squad players at the death. Levy does it every time, & I'm surprised he bought anyone early. Leave it late & sell at the optimum price. Then leave fuck all time to buy suitable improvements. We are looking very threadbare for a team in the CL.

Doubt he'd be on holiday if he felt his opinion was needed or he needed to ring someone to convince them to come or meet new players etc.

Either he's already done all this or we're not going to sign anyone.
