Honestly, some wouldn't be happy with us spending 200m this summer.

Ahem...he's means he is. I think you mean his...
You're welcome
I don't know who Nicky BARNBY is either......
Some but it would be the vast minority (enough to ignore) and colouring all who are worried about the price being beyond our limits is boarder-line dishonest.
Apparently we was close to signing under the other year before he chose Roma.
don't know how true it was but i recall reading that our actual loss on him him was as little as £6-7m.
I don't know who Nicky BARNBY is either......
Nick Barnby who is that indeed?
Remember Nick Barmby being quite good. Anderton, Sheringham and Barmby were quite decent. Who also remembers 17year old Andy Turner as well? Halcyon days with young players coming through. All due in part to our poor financial management.
And Son was 22 million
It stunk at the time - Valencia were desperate as they needed cash for debt and Levy wanted to look like he was spending. There was no way Levy wouldn't have got a deal as they were so desperate.
Turner looked quality. What happened to him??.....
But now you are saying some are worried about overspending. So that = worrying about the buisness side & how much we spend. So are you now admitting some worry about the business side & how much we spend.
You said this not long ago
"No one cares about how much money we spend, they back what the club decides we can afford its pretty damn evident that's the case and your are chosing to ignore this."
Now this
"and colouring all who are worried about the price being beyond our limits is boarder-line dishonest"
I thought no one cared how much we spent. Now they are worried despite not caring.
1 minute it's No one cares about how much we spend. Then it's some are worried we spend above our limits.
You just keep changing to suit your agenda that no one cares if we spent 200m & everyone would be happy if we did. Which is evidently false.
Anyway, let's not go around in circles. You can believe everyone would be happy if we spend 200m & wouldn't care if we did. I am going to stick to my opinion some would care & be unhappy if we spent 200m.
Name names, you pussy....
Point is, its way more than 40m like the article says.
It's pretty well-respected news site, with proper hacks. A bit like a slightly lower-brow Huffington Post, but with a very good rep for financial news
La conversación de Pochettino con Lo Celso que acerca a Eriksen al Real Madrid
El jugador verdiblanco quiere irse al Tottenham pero el Betis pide 80 millones de euros y los Spurs solo ofrecen 40. El futbolista se encuentra actualmente disputando la Copa América con la selección albicelestewww.elconfidencial.com
Not sure how much truth there is to this but it basically says that Poch has telephoned Lo Celso to explain that £40m is all we can offer right now, until we sell players, possibly Eriksen.
Poch apparently also said to Celso that Spurs ‘don’t have much money to go to market’ but that will change if Eriksen gets sold.
Probably just bullshit but thought I would share anyway.
no one - at any point 4 or 5 teams are good enough to win trophies, not everything needs to have blame attached.
Villa is a great example - they went balls deep supporting a manager and are still paying for it now.
I want us to spend like the richer clubs, I am sure you have seen this
Premier League clubs ranked by revenue 2024| Statista
Which Premier League clubs generate the most revenue? In 2023/24, Manchester City had the highest revenue in the league.www.statista.com
I know its business but its the reason in black and white - as that gets closer we will spend like them and its getting closer and closer every year.
So basically, let me just clarify this, we are good enough to win a trophy but if we fail to win a trophy then nobody is to blame for us failing to win one? That makes no logical sense whatsoever.
You say 4-5 teams are good enough and yet, we aren't seeing 4-5 teams winning trophies are we? Not even in rotation.
We are seeing the same teams repeatedly winning trophies (minus the Leicester season) so there seems to be a pretty predictable pattern as to who will win a trophy and we aren't part of that pattern which would indicate we aren't good enough with our current squad, unless of course you think it's the manager underachieving? Which to me seems ludicrous considering he hasn't signed a player in 18 months.
It sounds to me like, no offense, you are just happy, regardless of what happens and you're willing to accept any outcome because the very idea of criticising the owners makes you uncomfortable and you would rather just accept what you are given than to challenge it because we are in a comfortable position currently.
There is ALWAYS someone to blame, it's the reason people get hired and fired.
I think it's absurd to believe we are getting "closer and closer" when that simply isn't the truth, Man City and the clubs above us could go out tomorrow and blow us away in the market, any rich billionaire could buy a club in this league tomorrow and take our place in the top 4, you see this long term model of "doing things the right way" as something that will pay off in the end, I see that as unhealthy optimism in a modern game that, more often than not, rewards the richest clubs who pay the most for players in terms of wages and fees.
I admire you optimism I really do but the reality speaks for itself, we won't win a major trophy (unless we get Leicester lucky) under our current model.
We need somebody whether he leaves or not, but if he leaves we need 2 players. Otherwise we are back with Eriksen having to play every minute of every game.
We may need somebody sure, but maybe not a 60-70 million pound somebody. I would love to have Lo Celso and Eriksen vying for the same spot but I somehow feel it may not transpire that way.
