"A lot of people" or is this just an axe you grind with Shadydan Shadydan ?



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.

Nope, I've seen others backtracking on previous claims we will spend. Plenty of goalpost shifting to go around, he's just the worst offender.

120m+ would be nice, considering it's what Woolwich spent last season WITHOUT CL football. Obviously it's very dependent on who we go for (how high profile they are, wages etc..) but some serious investment in to top shelf quality would be great to see.

Nobody wants 300m or more, let's not be silly. People want to see us get the window we were promised, the one loads of people were smugly telling us we just had to be patient for and are now already covering their tracks on.
 
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.
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.

richarlison would be a great signing if we can get him next, add quality to that front line and genuine back up for kane which we havent had since kanes been kane.
 
These goalposts .. will they ever stop moving?

Shadydan Shadydan and Airfixx Airfixx say hi

Sarr is bang average, nowhere near as good as Richarlison
Dunno what happened with Sarr. First few times I saw him I thought he was sensational.

‘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.
I don't normally comment on how a player looks but this one was too good to overlook.

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!

:levystare:

Wouldn't that be another 100%?

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

Just sayin.

What the fuck are you babbling about?

We're not even close to signing any of these players! We've signed two on a free and Bissouma for 25 million.

Fucking acting like we're out here officially bidding 50m+ plus for players, we haven't! No big bids for anyone have been submitted as far as any of us know!

Not only did you fail GCSE English but now maths as well .. fucking hell.

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.
 


Thank fuck, would never have been a Conte player, flaky as fuck, perfect for Woolwich, they just need Tielemans to complete the set of melty players.
