Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Have I claimed that there are huge amounts of money leaving the club?

My complaints have been that we had a historic 2 transfer periods in a row in which we bought nobody when we desperately needed players, we have failed to spend on areas of need and far too often go for the cheap route when a little more investment would bring better players and results.

My complaint with Levy is that he prioritizes making money over ambition, which is his right but then claims to want Tottenham to be a world class club. I don't think he needs to spend like City or PSG or even United or Chelsea. but zero purchases in a two window stretch is unacceptable. Gedson Fernandes on loan when Bruno Fernandes is available, we have a relationship with the selling club and fits an exact need is unacceptable.

I don't need a 200 million dollar warchest every transfer window, but this player in player out BS, constantly trying to add on little add-ons as mentioned in the recent Modric story, missing out on talented players like Bruno because he is too cheap is holding this team back.

Define and illustrate where these profits have gone.... Same challenge applies. Put up or shut up. :)

Where has the money that wasnt spent gone?
 
From Marca's morning round up:

- We're interested in Rakitic
- We've turned down a bid from Juve for Lo Celso and told City that Kane isn't for sale at any price
- Arsen@l have ended their interest in Thomas Partey as they're unwilling to pay the €50 million release clause
- Koeman is going to give Coutinho another chance
- Wolves want Ocampos
 
Guess we should just turn to Chelsea of... North London then :D ?

Wait until Leicester finds target, lurk quietly, when deal is close to be completed, rush in, offer 1 mil more and sign the player for yourself :D ...

But yea, without a doubt they have made brilliant purchases of late with likes of Pereira, Chillwell, Madisson, turkish Shideshow Bob, Ndidi, Tielmans and even offering veteran Evans contract. Most of them would be starters for us and they were signed on cheap.
Ofc they have also failed with some as well - Gray, Slimani, Iheanacho, Silva, Praet but this is part of the strategy essentially.

Poch allegedly turned all of these down.

Evans was a no brainer for free.

This is the path that levy has always been keen on, purchase younger upcoming talent, then polish it up and sell on for big money then do it again whilst remaining competitive to a degree.

Yeh; and the melts cried whenever he did it yet bitched just as hard with hindsight for not selling Eriksen and Dele 2 years ago.

Too many of our fanbase haven't got the guts to be Dortmund.
