I think he might do well at Ajax in an inferior league. Was never confident watching him finish compared to son or Kane. You always know he’s probably going to miss. But I wish him wel.

Today sort of sums up the difference in mood in north london atm. We sign a player from barcelona and were in the champions league. Meanwhile wilshere retires and gooners are wondering who they will play in the thursday night club.
Honestly that bald dullard was on par with Nono, complete imposters. Let’s enjoy aConte (and Paratici)I have zero faith in pinhead choosing his replacement
We need quality players, game changers, marquee signings, they don't come cheap, you have to spend, listen and do to what Conte wants. Assuming you want success on the pitch.
He looks so.....French. He's almost a stereotype of what a Frenchman would look like. If someone asked me what a Frenchman looks like, I'd show them a pic of Lenglet
Obviously I'd add a beret and a striped jumper as well.
So that’s like 8 mil? Pretty tame compared to going with another option that might include a transfer or loan fee AND 4-5 years worth of salary which could total 10x that. There’s very little risk in a short term player loan In comparison. The downside is little reward because we don’t have option to buy. But that doesn’t make the risk high…
High risk is the Ndombele signing. Or even Romero… but that worked out much better and there was some sort of option/obligation that mitigated risk if we missed CL.

"You get what you pay for" hasn't really worked for us recently. Some of our worst signings have also cost the most.
I'd say Perisic, Bissouma and even Richarlison are game changers in what they offer and how they have given us a massive upgrade. Spence could possibly also be a massive upgrade although that one is a little more shaky.
Slowly we are building a squad that is versatile and has depth. This is a millions times better than the window we signed the 7 creeps with the Bale money. There is such a clear and intelligent plan here , and that's something we have lacked- even when we have spent money.
Fab and Conte are undoing years of dodgy recruitment within one summer. If they can get rid of the deadwood as well, it would be unbelievable.
Explosive player on his day but I dont think he had a position in the front three we have. Think a 3-4-2-1 formation would have suited on the right of the 2. Nevermind we got good dosh for him in the end.
I don't see this too much of a job to do. I am however surprised that Winks hasn't gone yet.
no time to sleep ball sacks
You can’t spend 60 mil on every position on the pitch. Certain players/positions will be prioritized over others. We are looking at a LCB that can challenge Davies or be 2nd string.

I'd just assume that the focus has been on getting as many of the purchases done as possible before the pre-season tour. That will have been an all important factor for Conte....
The fact we were sat on the fabled 150m meant there's was no 'sell-to-buy' necessity delaying things.
Our transfer window so far :
Ivan Perišić
Fraser Forster
Yves Bissouma
Richarlison
Clement Lenglet
Djed Spence - Work in Progress
Its 4 weeks since the Transfer Window opened on 10 June .......... and about 7 weeks until it closes at end of August.
The squad is very much stronger than the one we ended the season with - and could get stronger still. After an RWB (possibly Spence), we might get a top CB (if available and another forward (possibly a creative AM to cover Kulusevski) - but the last two would be 'nice to have' to round off a great transfer window, rather than essential.
I think if you can cut through the bollocks and read a good media source or two, likely another CB/RWB and fucking great cherry on top of the cream possibly an AM.
In almost fifty years of being a Spurs supporter i cannot think of a better, more planned for now, and the future, transfer window.
The magnificent seven pale into insignificance compered to what Paratici has achieved, and we haven't needed to sell one of our studs in order to finance one of them.
Isn't Royal for sale too?
- We have quality.
- We have game-changers.
- "Marquee signings" is just a load of guffy Jim White-ism.
Rich - 50-60m
Romero - 50m
Ndombele - 60m
Lo Celso - 40m
Sanchez - 40m
= We're prepared to spend if we want the player.
I'd say the lesson there isn't Let's not spend big again, but more Spend big but spend well.
We spent the best part of twenty years avoiding big money signings and looking in the bargain basement and won fuck all as a result
