The very last thing this club needs is players "who want to sit on the bench"Not sure he would have wanted to sit on the bench for Lloris though. At least Forster seems fine with that.

That Brazilian they bought in the middle of the park was outstanding against Woolwich…. I rate himThey had a great half season but you can't really conclude a lot from that.
His Bournemouth side was a mess defensively. Whether he'll revert to his old self is still TBD.
"A lot of people" or is this just an axe you grind withShadydan ?
What "signs" are these then?
There's been no credible news or club statement to such an effect
All that's happened here is 'you know who' stirred the pot and a few voices here responded.... I doubt those same voices were jizzing at the thought of big spending to begin with.
Indeed..... It's only melts and trolls that aren't doing so.
Still, for ease of reference; the question still stands:
What minimum net spend amount would be acceptable?
...Because it's obvious the knives will be out for some unless we hit extreme levels of 300m or more.
i suppose dier could cover for the CM in an absolute emergency. you need them utility players who can play multiple positions because having 5 CM will be hard to keep all happy and match fit. doc and perisic can play on opposite wings if needed too which helps.Let’s say being optimistic we go all out and get
Forster
Spence
Perisic
Bastoni/Torres
Bissouma
Raphinha
Richarlison
With rumoured outgoings of
Winks
Bergwijn
Reggie
Lo Celso
Ndombele
Rodon
Emerson
CCV
Lucas
Gil
That leaves the squad looking like this
GK - Lloris, Forster, Austin
CB - Torres/Bastoni, Romero, Dier, Davies, Sanchez, Tanganga
WB - Spence, Doc, Perisic, Sess
CM - Bissouma, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Skipp
FW - Kane, Son, Kulu, Raphinha, Richarlison
There’s a lot of quality there, but that’s only 22 players, with 3 of them being keepers. That’s extremely light going into a potentially 55+ game season. I know it’s been reported that Conte is happy with only having the 4 centre mids, which is partly why we ain’t going after Eriksen, but one injury to any of the 4, which will inevitably happen, and your suddenly rotating 3 players for 2 positions while playing 3 games a week sometime.
For me, signing Eriksen solves a lot of potential headaches with his versatility.
Dunno what happened with Sarr. First few times I saw him I thought he was sensational.
I don't normally comment on how a player looks but this one was too good to overlook.‘TODAY IT’S TOTTENHAM’: COACH NOT SURPRISED BY SPURS LINKS WITH HIS STAR MAN
Dynamo Kiev coach Emil Caras has played down reports linking Ukrainian defender Illlya Zabarnyi with a move to Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur, speaking to Sport Analytic.

at the very least drive the price right up for the scum. they are desperateWe should not be allowing Raphinha to go to Woolwich. ENIC has taken out £150m which apparently gave us a boost for spending this summer.
Woolwich will have spent £85m already as they've signed Viera & on verge of Jesus.
Wouldn't that be another 100%?We should just add another 50% on the value of players...
Richarlison valued at £50?...Don't worry lets just add another £50m on top just to appease the fanbase and look like we're flexing our muscles...
Raphinha valued at £60m? It's alright Uncle Joe's given us some change now, fuck it Fabio send £120m Leeds' way, that will show em!
Meanwhile Ajax has been making sill bids for Steevie...okay cool, give him away for £3m, after all we got to show that we're a big club right!

Neymar would never play for us anywayFine with that, he is a very good player but selfish and when he is off his game a liability.

We also have Pape Matar Sarr coming back from loan, and he can play some Cup games for sure. The kid has talent. We need one more FW though, that's for sure. Then we're set.Let’s say being optimistic we go all out and get

50% of $50 is $25. So another 50% would total $75.
Just sayin.
