This probably includes releases from the U-21s, U-18s etc.
Not Ali G. Not to say he hasn't sometimes got things wrong but he's no stirrer. He's cautious in what he reports (although he's not afraid to speak his mind when necessary) which is why I think the club and a lot of fans respect him.
When teachers wrote that word on my school reports, it meant that I hadn't done very well. Bare minimum. It's not a word that should be acceptable at any PL club, let alone a top 6 one.
Every transfer window, there's always a niggling feeling of patching up rather than properly strengthening. It's no secret to anyone with eyes what we need at the back.
“ Everything is hard “You seem to think if a club has conviction then that is SUFFICIENT to sign a player.
But players have interests and motivations and agency so asNotThatTedHughes has clearly laid out, your assertion doesn’t hold true in reality. It’s messy out there and we’re dealing with probabilities.
At least your not being accused of having a multiple personality disorder by actually disagreeing with yourself
There’s different dynamics for different players and value and strategy should be adjusted. 20M for a six choice MF’er with 20 months on his contract is fine. 10M for Sanchez, just deal and get it done
You're probably right. But then those numbers don't reflect the problems we've had with the management of our bloated first team squad.
You’re saying that because we’re smart and agree on many issues. I don’t go around saying that the people who are thick and are ENIC out are the same people. Unfortunately I am able to imagine that there are dozens of ENIC out people who are barely able to string two thoughts together.The sooner you stop pretending that you and
It really is tiresome.
Why is it important to make a player feel wanted?
I think you are confusing what is necessary from the clubs perspective with what is sufficient. If the club is going to act within its locus of control then it will do as you say but wisdom is recognising that there are things that exist outside of our locus of control.
Your second paragraph is mostly supposition.
It's important because every time we want to sign a player, we are asking him to uproot his life for us. Would you want to move away from your home/friends/family and/or disrupt their lives at a moment's notice?

I completely agree. The point I was getting at is that making a player feel wanted is important because you have to CONVINCE them to come. The player’s agreement is a necessary part of any transfer. So our conviction alone isn’t sufficient to get the deal done. The player has to want to come to.
I reckon ENIC in vs Out is getting like Brexit on here , what we need is a poll to decide which path we take as a club, but first who is the man who can make Tottenham great again?
Sell PEH for the offer placed, pay the asking price for Tapsoba, get Muani as the new forward then we can all have a sigh of relief and the club has the Kane money to come in still. See if we can swap Ndombele for Nelsson.
When a rebuild is taking place a club is bound to lose money on transfers, We need to be decisive.
Then get rid of Sanchez et al as expected.

Move him on for a decent fee please. I like the guy but he's not really required any more.
100%. Don’t pay asking price for every transfer, but now and again when the situation and opportunity means you have to, do it. Liv did that with VVD and look at the return
We’ve bought well with Madd/Solomon so offset those bargains and overpay where we are desperate
They'll probably offer like €10m.
We'd take that wouldnt we. I suspect it will be half of that given the shitty bids we've had for our players so far.
Yawn, another broke club that probably wants a loan with option to buy.
Never thought I’d see ‘Reguilon’ and ‘reinforced’ in the same sentence
