Sorry but most fans would prefer a strong side over a great stadium.

But the two things are inextricably linked - small stadium low income low wages budget - large stadium high income high wages budget .... you can't have one without the other .... and you'd have to be a total wankstain screw up of a club to have a big stadium and only a low income, or put another way West Ham (66,000)

Manu Utd - 75,000
Spurs - 62,062
Woolwich 60,260
City 55,097
Dippers 54,074

Chelsea 41,841 - with FFP now having teeth no new stadium long term they're screwed

The other thing is, this is not two summers ago.

We can invest in the squad and risk a collapse down toward mid-table, or not invest in the squad and guarantee one.

I believe we will invest in the squad but it may still be on a zero net spend basis, because that is the way Levy / Lewis operate. Likely outgoing of Eriksen, Trippier, Alderweireld should produce around 130m assuming we loan out Janssen, Nkoudou , Onomah. Incoming of players like , or similar to, Ndombele , lo Selso, Sessegnon , wan-Bissaka and Clarke would probably mean a net spend of close to 100m and that is without bringing in a replacement for Alderweireld , promoting Sanchez or Foyth and keeping Dier as a dual purpose back up player .( which is not ideal ) However you look at it there has to be a significant net spend and of course the real question is whether they want to use our success in the CL run and another year in the CL to attract the players who could keep us moving forward.

It’s not happy days until we achieve something with these signings though.
A point I raised last week......who will we blame if he gets who he wants and we fail again?
Who’s fault will it be when Jack Clark is on the bench and Ndombele is subbed off while an underperforming Dele is shunted around the pitch and given other people’s game time.

Poch has masses to learn outside of anything we can do in the market.

The lack of depth thing is bullshit. Yes we need strengthening, but the problem is we are looking to upgrade the wrong players.

Lamela, Moura, Dier etc are all fine squad players......the players who need dropping are all guaranteed starters.
People don’t want Eriksen Dele or Kane dropped yet they want someone as good as them to sit on the bench?
Yeah because that will happen.

Said it time and time again......you think Origi, Shaqiri, Lallana, Pedro, Zapacosta, Higuain, Christiansen, Giroud, Darmian, Fred, Sanchez, Rojo, McTominay, Elneny, Lichsteiner, Monreal,
Iwobi, Stones, Mangala, Foden, Zinchenko, Delph etc etc......you think that’s world class back up?

Wouldn’t want a single player
 
508 days since our last signing...

Genuine question -

Why do people think Ndombele is worth 60+m? Didn’t he go for 7m less than a year ago?

Is there a better alternative out there? Is Ndombele the best option at that position?

Is this a case of let’s just sign someone as we are desperate or is t a case of, Ndombele really s the best option?

We have been led to believe that we don't have to sell before we buy seeing as the club hasn't made a purchase for a couple of windows, even though levy likes value for money and coming in with a profit we must have cash available.

Agree with most of this. Apart from the Moura thing. Think he's more than just a squad player now. I say start him most games next season see how he goes.

He's probably the best available player in his position, would be a real coup.

(obviously there is still a risk the transfer doesn't work out)

That seems a bit more upbeat, would be extremely surprised if Juve signed him after getting Ramsey and Rabiot.

The Rabiot news has gone a little quiet over the last couple of days, as has the Andre Gomes deal to Everton. It was widely reported that both of these deals had been agreed yet nothing has been confirmed as official since.

Could it be that Rabiot, Juve, Gomes and Everton are ramping up their moves because knock on effect decisions have been made elsewhere or possibly its them acting to get things moving along?

If Rabiot does join Juve I'd find it very hard to believe that Ndombele would see that as a prosperous move for his international aspirations. The Rabiot deal and Real Madrid's interest in Pogba are the ones I'm keeping my eye on most, inthink both are key to what happens with us and Tanguy.
 
Before looking at our wish lists, maybe we should take these articles into consideration?

Whiteman
Wan Bissaka
Sessengon
NDombele
Lo Celso

That's not going to happen.

Button is a spurs graduate, would add to the homegrown quota and could give Whitman the much needed time to develop. Great, cheap purchase from Brighton. (£2m for Button)

Walker-Peters and Aurier will be our right backs if Trippier is sold. No movement there. (£20m for Trippier)

Sessengon may well be the replacement for Rose if he is sold. (£20m for Rose / probably the same fee for Sessengon)

Alderweireld was replaced with Sanchez. Carter-Vickers could be involved more next season. (£25m for Alderweireld but he will see out his contract with us so no fee there)

Dembele is a massive hole in our squad. He needs replacing. (£11m for Dembele). Many are hoping for NDombele but I can see him going to another club. We will use Sissoko and Winks and sign a CM that has yet to be mentioned. Onomah could be involved next season

Lo Celso may well be the 'big' summer signing but, it will depend on Eriksen's future. That deal has the least opposition however, we could easily be priced out if a bidding war starts. Eriksen could well stay so no Lo Celso in that case. (£55m for Eriksen / the same fee for Lo Celso)

Clarke looks very likely to sign but, he may well be loaned straight back to Leeds. (,£17m for him)

Janssen and N'Koudou will both be sold (£5m / £2m). Edwards will replace N'Koudou and Llorente will sign a one year deal
