You are better than that mate. Think it through.
Surely you're "better than" blind faith in spending?

No. Our squad with no additions becomes stagnant and restless. Every team needs to keep looking to improve or strengthen their hand. To sit back and be happy with what you have is lazy, complacent, and downright fucking scandalous.
Oh no its better. The argument is who we get rid of when we buy a new player... because no team apparently should have more than 11 starting caliber players.Been away far too long, and far too busy to catch up on 400 pages of ranting.....are we judging transfer targets on BMI and arguing sex appeal this summer, or no?
Allegedly they turned down an offer of 41m euro from Woolwich and he's one Monaco are keen not to lose.
Gonna take some serious wedge. Even more so if any more teams take an active interest
There is more of a chance of us resigning Bale than Poch playing all four wing backs in the same team.
May look good on paper, but i cant see the gaffer going for it. Would leave us terribly exposed if we got caught in possession.
But is he worth £25m if they can buy him back for, say, £30m, on a whim?
So play Walker (who practically everyone can see is better at defending than attacking) on the wing, and Trippier (who practically everyone can see is better at attacking than defending) in defence?
Meanwhile, you have 4 slots on the pitch left (assuming 2 CBs), one of which would be Kane.
Who do you drop out of Wanyama, Dier, Eriksen, Lamela, Son, Dele, Winks, Sissoko, Janssen, Dembele - especially without leaving a "weak spine"?
You can only have 11 on the pitch.
You are the guy who scoffed at my "Don't play Lennon, Townsend and Soldado" posts. Plus everyone laughed when I said Walker and Trippier should be given more rope up the wings.
Do you ever get tired trying to force it?
Walker and Rose relatively are one of the leading creative players at left and right back. In fact you can hardly even call it that. They virtually are wingers these days. And I'm not sure if you missed it...but Poch was playing Trippier and Davies AT LEFT AND RIGHT BACK at the end of the season.
And we were doing great. Now add Walker and Rose in front and you add pace, passion, defense and aggression. You talking about the spine is kinda backwards because Walker and Rose are more solid that whatever combo we put on the right and left of midfield.
Recent losses to Chelsea came from set pieces caused by us struggling with pace. We dominated them in all other areas. Only chink in our armory is pace. This fixes that if the transfer windows does not fix it.
Plus: what fast players could we sign, will be better than Rose or Walker? I think it's win win. We also tell our squad that if you play well like Trippier, you get a chance. I like our current squad. I don't think you have a good grasp of how important Rose and Walkers wingplay was to our creativity.
I like this team.
Isn't sissocko on like 80 k a week, flog him off and offer those wages to one of those 2, if an Woolwich or a liverpool come in and are willing to give said player more than that then fair enough won't have any complaints. Wouldn't want our club to start paying ridiculous wages we can't afford.
This is from spurs community. Doesn't sound good.

It wouldn't surprise me if we see the worst meltdown in SC history over the next few days

There may be trouble ahead...
Guys, if I could post it, I would but we're still working with the source so it has to wait until we get it into some sort of shape to post.
If me hinting at news to come has upset anyone please accept my most sincere couldn't give a naffagies, it wasn't my intention to ruin your lives.
Of course clubs make signings, it's just that no one was screaming about Lemar DURING the season.....it's a nervous tick that has developed in the game, and frankly it's ridiculous.Blind faith in signings meaning success ....mate bar a few home grown lads our whole squad was purchased at some point
What if just like when we signed wanyama last season even though we already had dier in that role, a Lemar or a Costa come in and we improve and win the league.
All hypothetical, your never going to know if a signing works out or not. Im not and i don't think anybody is saying for us to go out and spend stupid dough , I love the way we have built this squad aswell, but I just dont understand this whole notion of us not being able to improve.
We made several additions last year.....what's your take on Janssen and Sissoko again?No. Our squad with no additions becomes stagnant and restless. Every team needs to keep looking to improve or strengthen their hand. To sit back and be happy with what you have is lazy, complacent, and downright fucking scandalous.
