Does anybody believe all this stuff about Trip going to Juve or Napoli. Beggars belief.

Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Given the comments being made that "we must spend more' on transfers, might be worth summarising where we are by comparison with other big European and other PL clubs.
Last year's results to June 2018 put us up to 10th place in terms of gross revenues - the extra income we got from being at Wembley took us away from the likes of Juventos but we are still behind Real Madrid, Barcelona ManU Bayern Munich ManCity PSG Liverpool Woolwich and Chelsea
When our results to June 2019 are published I expect we'll be in he same position, with the revenue loss associated with lower attendances compensated with from higher prize money from our CL run.
For the year to June 2020 it's clearly a guess but with revenues from NWHL which have a high corporate revenue stream, a decent CL run to say QF and a pick in revenues from non Spurs use of he stadium and some higher other commercial income, I'd expect us to get to about 6th or 7th - competing with PSG and Livrpool for those places, and importantly overtaking Woolwich and Chelsea in browse revenue terms.
So in 12 months time we will be better placed than Woolwich and Chelsea. In practice with Chelsea having a ban I'd expect to outspend both.
However worth noting that Real Madrid Barcelona, Manu, Bayern and Mancity will still have bigger revenues than Spurs and PSG and Liverpool will have comparable revenues so little chance of us spending significantly more than these.
One opportunity we have us that ManU are in a mess right now and it might well take 2 if not 3 TWs to sort themselves out, do whilst they will throw money at problems they will not be overly attractive to ambitious players ( no CL, no chance of PL for a couple of seasons etc) so we hope to be more attractive to players than them

It's the Lord's day you Godless heathen cuntminstrel.
You start with signing a world-class central midfielder and end up with shops and petrol stations opening and the unravelling of the moral fabric of this still Christian land
He'd be lucky to make it into Notts County at this rate.
And then God said let there be Ndombele and there was Jack Clarke on loan from Leeds.

Hope you are right. Otherwise I'd rather be back at WHL spending the money on players, not a stadium. I sometimes wonder if we have done this arse backwards

You love it.
Only club I know for whom every single transfer is like War and Peace.
Fcuking astonishing.

Well look after yourself. We need youOK thanks.... Took a week off. Figured late night tear ups on here wasn't entirely the way forward....
Evidently tho', old habbits die hard.
I'm a complainer... what can I say....I sent the wine back last night.. but I still don't like Sanchez
Well said
Fucking hell, Goatwhore supporting Eyehategod. Gutted to have missed thatstate of this thread
Do you really think you'll ever know?
The books are there, what they have done is turn a 27m asset into a 2bn asset and that's where they will make the money.
I know all clubs have increased but we have exceeded most
I loved the lane, but there’s no doubt the new stadium will take us to the next level, on and off the pitch
Interesting point. Here in the States, blue collar people use"fuck" in almost every sentence. It's their main descriptive apart from"awesome" which seems to cover everything else. It's just a part of everyday language. Now, if you say "cunt", there's a deathly hush and a general air of disapproval.
It's the equivalent of atheist, socialist etc. Those are probably the three worst words in the American vocab.
Cunt is interchangeable with mate with my group... Got in a bit of trouble in Vegas because of it
Scrolling through this thread today...
I know you’re taking the piss but that’s actually a very unusual line up!
