I'm hoping the combination of Gio and Tubby (Ndombele) in their 3rd season in the PL will compensate for that.

Of course he is good player on the grand scale.
But not nowhere as good as the money demanded for him. Hence we don't want to splash that same amount of money. This makes perfect sense to me.
Compared to what he costs and what he produces - he is shit.
Come on, per season he costs more than Kane. Why would we throw this kind of money on a 29yo mercenary who will be here for 1 or 2 seasons + if we'd buy him on permanent basis his resell value is 0.
Let's say Barca sell him to us for 25 mil and he demands 300k per week on 2 years deal. That would cost us 56 (!!) million EUR. And then he leaves on free. Even if he signs for free for same wage and same contract duration, he would still cost 31 million EUR. And all of this will be cost not investment, as he can't be sold on to next buyer.
With Kane money we need to build for future. Not waste it on players who will be here for 2 seasons and leave us in worse position than we were?!?
Can you not call our players by derogatory names it is juvenile and shows a lack of respect. I hate when Spurs fans do this why would anyone want to be called by an insults it the exact same thing with what people call Harry Winks. If these players ever read these forums or twitter why would they want to pull on the Shirt for the fans.

A problem is we just whack players into a system without maximising their effectiveness or buying the best player for each position.
Shockingly small swimming pool. Do not want.Joe agrees.
Wow, you hate Levy and ENIC, yet you are advocating for them to act stupidly?!?
Incredible.
You just described a situation while being a 18 yo who have had a raging boner for 2 days.
Right now there is a player that has signed a contract with us. Which lasts until he is 31 yo.
We can lock him into reserves for three long years and effectively end his career if we want to. I am not advocating such solution, but I am saying that it is theoretically possible.
Harry does not have all the power. He has contract that is valid, we have fulfilled our end of the deal by paying him tens of millions. Now he has to keep his end as well.
And Levy will make him keep it, or he will leave on acceptable terms. Which is nothing short of 150 mil pounds.
End of.

Why?
He's bang average. A trier and I've got nothing against him, but along with about 6 or 7 players still on our books he simply isn't good enough if we're a club with ambition to challenge for things.
Sorry, guess it flew over my head
Just that... there are some here who were arguing before last season that we should buy him for 50+ mil.
And it seems to me that there are some who still think that Traore is an elite player... despite the fact that across first 28 games of last season he did not create nor score a single goal.
In such environment it is hard to catch sarcasm at times
Coutinho would be a good pickup on a Bale type deal where Barca pays some of his wages. We’d be doing them a favor taking him at this point. I still think he’s a useful player much like Bale was. But I’d agree he’s not worth spending real money and wages on for many reasons.
Well if we move Dier, Sanchez, Toby and now Davies we will need more CB additions than just Romero. Davies might be average but he can cover both LB and CB.
Nuno...Noni...are we trying to become Ken Dodd's Diddy men?
Yeah, to be fair I'd keep him ahead of Sanchez on the basis that he can play in two or three positions. And also ahead of Dier, as Eric's face really annoys me.
Unless the negotiations have already been done. BTW I'm on about Spurs not 9/11 and the rest of your leaps into those other topics.
I understand your recap.
But I disagree with conclusion.
Bale was invisible against strong opposition or not trusted at all.
His contribution against top half teams was 1 assist against Wet Spam and 2 goals against Leicester.
For that we shelled out something like 15 mil EUR for his services and this was 100% cost, 0% investment. I would say that we would be in stronger position if instead of carrying this 15 mEUR cost we would have taken the 16 mEUR we wasted on Doherty and we could have signed better quality player for 31m EUR .. and someone we would still have use now.
Or for that matter if we would have taken this 15 + 16 m and added 13 we paid for Rodon and would have got Skriniar from Inter....
So yea, in my eyes, this Bale deal as it stands was not worth it.
I'm not a fan of Levy and ENIC either, but for some people it has gone far past any sense of rationality.
Not that game but Chelsea away was a good example.
Wolfsburg said they aren't selling Lacroix.
