Are you asking or being snarky?
But surely that right price goes up each time because they have more money in the bank account?
Im asking because context matters. This probably isn’t you, but many posters make these claims without really thinking about the limits of their knowledge and the conditions in which certain decisions were taken.
It’s also unclear what is being implied.
As much as people like to claim conspiracy; it takes a whole load of votes for someone to get binned........
So, if you are binned it means more than a few likely names have reached for the foul button.
Also the problem with owners that won’t adjust the budget to get over the hump when the squad is ready to win.This is the problem with managers who are too rigid in their choice of players.
Poch only wanted Frenkie de Jong as a nidfield player and when he ultimately said no, there was no adequate replacement to fall back to buy
Frenkie de Jong admits he nearly joined Tottenham before Barcelona move
New Barcelona signing Frenkie de Jong has revealed he was tempted to join Tottenham last summer.www.skysports.com
He did that with a 2nd player too (I forget who) so instead of 2 top young players coming in we ended up with zero new players in 2018.
Lets start again.
Spurs need to fill a number of positions - yes or no ?
We needed a GK - yes or no
We needed a creative midfielder - Yes or no ?
We also need to fill other positions including 2 CB's - yes or no
Spurs have bought players who for various reasons can be bought quickly - that's the reason they are hear.
We will address the CB purchases shortly. Meanwhile other clubs such as Woolwich and ManU have NOT progressed further than us in buying positions THEY think they need to fill.
So stop hyperventilating over something which is NOT a problem at the moment. The player registration window has been open for 14 days ....... and is open for another month.
The only two reasons I can see for a hold up are:
1. Selling club want too much
2. Player is unsure
This is why you have a list of targets and don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If it’s one then like we did with Raya you move on to the next target. If it’s 2 then you give the player a reasonable amount of time to think - a week tops, if he is still unsure then he is clearly not the right sort - might always feel like he is doing you a favour.
My frustration is never about the money spent, we spend loads. My frustration is this basic lack of planning and process that leads us into the same doom loop year after year - zero credibility seems to be given to integrating and gelling a squad early. Obviously Levy has to take some of the blame as he is in charge, but what are the rest of the useless toasters he employs doing all year?
Maybe the pro levy crew are more likely to cast a sin bin vote.?
Many reasons why deals do not get done - money is only one of them.
So we're not likely to sign anyone over the weekend.
Unless something happens Monday, the match thread on Tues at 11am, when Rodon and Tanganga are announced as our starting CBs, should be wild!

Getting burnt.
Think the lack of patience isn’t born out of 1 window when it comes to CBs.
You cant' have read what I just posted.....
Also: "Pro levy crew" - Twat talk.... You're better than that.
It will get done, you just need to chill

It's more likely that he's been pissing people off on this forum over a period of time and they just got fed up so he didn't have to do anything especially bad to get the bin votes.
I don't know what happened but he's become unhinged over several months to a year. I can't bring myself to mock him or call him names, I worry about him.
We're all disappointed we haven't got a centre back by the time we've flown out. It is what it is.
We can just hope we press on over the next few weeks and at least get one in by the time we're back ready to be involved against both Shakhtar and Barcelona.
I think luckily for us, centre back is probably the easiest position for a new player to come in and hit the ground running in this system. As opposed say a full back who needs to adapt to playing different to what they're likely used to.

Apparently I’m not
Have had more than a few cunt offs with Raum but usually there are the same crew that he’s going at it with.
Maybe I’m saying those posters are more likely to bin vote and they all have a slight lean towards defending the club when it comes to transfers
