11 players were signed for 60m in 2013?
.......I doubt that.
2016?
Which season?
Rather than being dismissive you could do with being clear in what your counter-argument is.
Vic was shit?
Sissoko was cheap?
This debate got very muddled very quickly.

Call it being overly vocal or disrespectful then. Posting silly instagram posts with a dusty lamborghini, having his national team manager run his mouth off etc.
Players want to leave, that's fine, but of all the players at Spurs who didn't get a proper shot, he's got the least to complain about. He played 60 games for us and scored 7 goals. The second he started to show that he might be worth the transfer fee we paid, he started getting restless about game time.
There would have been enough game time to go around if he knuckled down and continued to show the form of the last few games of last season.
I backed him for nearly two years while others wanted him out, so I'm annoyed about how this has gone down.
Won't be too upset if we get Richarlison or something.
I was 99% joking. Selling Pierre would be madness unless we could get somebody like Rice. PEH has weaknesses but he also has so many strengths and for me I don’t see why many fans criticize him. His work rate and leadership are unquestionable.
That said, Rice in Pierre sold net £30 paid and I would do it. That’s the 1%.
The Absolute GOAT
likes to give disagrees to many posters, hope he agrees with himself 
Weird post.
I dish out far more ‘likes and agrees’ than ‘disagrees’.
Maybe you just post stuff I disagree with?
Bin vote cast for going off topic and keep my name out of your mouth.
Have a disagree because I disagree.
Same pain as Liverpool incoming..... It's already been 9 years since Fergie.
They would need someone to leave first, I can't seen that happening because everyone is very happy there!
Feel we are all as guilty on that one
Some of the top rated scouts couldn’t believe we got him for 50m and regularly told us he was worth 80m
We had to pay him those 200 big ones to get him to choose spurs …. I lapped it up

He's not the RWB Spurs need and too good to sit on the bench but I will miss him. He appeared to be a likable person, and always enthusiastic when Spurs scored (except when he scored himself), and played solid - to much of the disappointment of some fans - at the end of the season and proved that he is a good defender.
If he join Atletic M I wish him good luck - except if he'd play against Spurs in the CL.

Don’t say things like that

And a board that is just as bad. They stopped thinking like a Football club and began thinking like a commercial enterprise. It remains to be seen if they carry on in this vein or if the appointment of Ten Hag is the start of their rebuild.
Having said that, their issues go beyond the Football as well. Their stadium is ageing badly and, with the way the World is today, would likely cost them far more than ours did. They're already over £800M in debt, with owners who are milking them rather than reinvesting like ENIC have done with us. They are also in danger of losing their lucrative sponsorship deals as CL slips over the horizon.
They were quite visionary when the Prem started, combined with the good fortune of their stadium build and the class of 92 happening at just the right time, but they've squandered the lot.
As I see it, right now their owners are using them as a cash cow. When they slip enough that the revenues don't provide the dividends they're taking out of the club, they'll likely sell to the highest bidder. There's plenty out there willing to shell out for a club with their status, but their stock and value will continue to dwindle until that happens IMO.
We're already seeing this with Woolwich, I can see Utd languishing as mid table nonentities for a good while yet.
I think Stevie had far more right to express his feelings and want a move than Eriksen did and many want him back. Huge double standard. Eriksen was playing and wanted a new fucking challenge and wanted to leave. Stevie scores two of the most important goals v Leicester, without which we don’t make CL and goes right back to injury time cameos….if anyone here can put yourself in his position and say they would accept that then I would say you are lying or stupid. Give him his move and not domestically because he will probably come back and haunt the fuck out of us
Liverpool managed to stay in or around the CL places, and even got a CL win during their time of "pain."
I honestly can't see Utd getting even that.

I feel like there's a huge untapped market of estern European players that's ignored by the latin/west focused football in the top leagues.
All the midtable English clubs should be raiding the likes of Slavia Prague or Dinamo Zagreb, or even the lesser teams in those leagues. Do a bit of proper scouting and buy in bulk, 2-5m a pop, ship out the duds for a modest loss/profit. Better than blowing 30m on fucking Daniel James.
Was always for the clicks …. Shameful
