Never fucking mind, then. Quality taste in hookers, sign him up!Actually his favourite film is Pretty Woman.

Debts of £637m. Roughly 5-6 seasons of Champions League qualification prize money & gate receipts compared to the prize pot for winning the FA Cup 100 times. I wonder why we seem to prioritise the top 4 over a cup run
£637m is a proper slab we have to pay of. No wonder we tip toe the line like we have done in recent years.

637m on a 1.2 billion pound business, with turnover of 400m, that's nothing to worry about ... stick it on a 20 year bond at competitive interest and it's only 40m a year ... the New Stadium will add >100m a year so as you can see we are still way better off ... not sure why people can't grasp this simple fact, we didn't spent 800m to be worse off, whatever you think about DL and ENIC they aren't feckin' stupid.
We've already had the 'pain' funding some 350m out of our own money ... that's done now finally we can start reaping the rewards of 16 years of belt tightening (yup we starting land purchases 16 years ago) ... this summer is a new financial dawn just wait and see
Damn dude. Tight finance analysis
What does that mean regarding transfers ?
Bargain basement level, cheap young players ,
no transfers , competitive top 6 transfers (just dreaming ), net spend heaven (normal) , sell to buy ?
Levy is a businessman, he doesn't give a fuck about Spurs beyond the money it can make him and Lewis.
So, can that Bolivian/Paraguayan lad play DM?
Those trust minutes didn't exactly fill me with hope.
We're in with a real possibility of losing CL football and he seemed totally non fussed about our failure to strengthen. If we have no money then I'd suggest we have a problem because sooner or later others who are investing will catch up - see the scum this year. And I presume no CL means a massive loss in revenue which would leave us even further behind.
In the summer I'd love for us to go on a spending spree as the squad clearly needs strengthening and freshening up but it seems likely that there is no chance of that happening. Worrying times.

It's the same as usual. We buy based on what we sell. Like 90% of all other clubs.
That's not true though is.
Saying most other clubs only spend what they make through transfers would mean we wouldn't be bottom of the net spend pile. I find the argument strange, it's like working class people arguing for austerity.
If you want to succeed you have to invest. Sure we have a stadium to pay for but I don't think anyone can argue that we have weakened ourselves in the past couple of years.
Do we know if he's an actual footballer yet?
He is according to ITK
If Eriksen is irreplaceable and is surely off........what’s the point in this thread?
Aren’t we doomed for all eternity regardless of new signings?

But it is true. Majority of clubs spend mainly what they make on sales on players in + whatever they have in their transfer budget. Which is based on what other investments they have. Clubs that aren't taking part in major infrastructure projects obviously have a bit more flexibility in their investment on the pitch. Which is why CL football is so important since it generates more income that can be used to bring in more/better players.
We are on the right track. A title might still be a few years away but the club is placing itself in just the right position to push on. We cannot compare ourselves to the sugar daddy clubs like City, PSG and up until recently the Chavs because they are just that, sugar daddy clubs.
