Cole Palmer is a player I want Spurs to go (unless he'll cost a "ransom") for because 1) he can become a top player, 2) Spurs are more in need for a left-footed WF (to challenge Kulu) than a right-footed WF (Spurs already have Son, Perisic & Solomon - even Porro - in that position).
No, I am not saying he's the "solution" but he could improve the LWF position.

Yeah not like we don't need HG players.

When I see us with just one Englishman in the starting 11, it does piss me off big time. Even Woolwich and the blue chavy cunts field more these days.

As one of the wealthiest, most profitable football clubs on the planet, it really is quite pathetic

When you look at our squad and then look at Ange and how he wants to play you kind of left with the below:

Good

Bentancur
Bissouma
Maddison
Udogie
Porro
Sarr
Vacario
Kulusevski
VDV
Romero

Needed but maybe not long term

Son
Richarlison
Royal
Forster
Solomon

Squad depth but need upgrade

Perisic
Skipp
Hojbjerg
Sanchez
Davies
Lo Celso

Just need to go

Dier
Tanganga
Lloris
Ndombele
Sessengnon
Bryan Gil
Spence
Regulion
White

So around 10:15 players we really could starting looking at selling and replacing.

If we could get rid of the 9 that need to go and maybe PEH and lo Celso and add 3-5 good quality players our squad would have a totally different feel to it.

Even with selling the 11 and adding 5 that's still only a 24 man squad and Sarr and Udogie don't even need to be included.

The funds it would free up in fees and especially wages plus the kane money would really give us the movement to sign 3 top draw players.

No.
1. They were here last season and counted for.
2. We finished 8th last season, club with ambition to win cups and top 4 needs more players, where is Kane replacement?
Dier, Sanchez, Tanaganga, Regulion, Rodon and even Davies are defenders not good enough at this club replaced so far by one player in VDV, not enough done in this department. We need at least one more CD.
3. Why not spend like a top 6 EPL club? Check Manu, city, chelsea, woolwich, liverpool.
4. Back the manager.
5. Nothing will change until levy and enic pack and go. Trust me.

They have to be counted somewhere. Either they were included in last seasons net spent or this.
You can't remove them from both and whinge.

Probably because we're 2 badly run clubs with no real direction in the market.

Think that’s harsh on us.

We haven’t bought enough and have had trouble selling our rubbish, but over the least few years there’s been a clear direction of bringing in very talented young players.

Many have worked out, we just need more.

Calling us directionless is the wrong criticism
 
Joan Thomas said:
We shouldn't even have entertained the idea of selling a striker of Harry Kane's calibre without having a proven, high quality replacement already lined up.
It's shambolic. NO other top club behaves in such a small time, pathetic, disgraceful manner.
The fan's are being taken for mugs once again.

Which proven, high-quality players were lined up to immediately replace the following?

Suarez at Liverpool
Aguero at City
PEA at Woolwich
Ronaldo at United

Its improved yes from the lowest of bases, the Hitchen years. We've signed some decent players last 2 or 3 years. But no well run club would still need 3 first team players and to move 7 or 8 on with 2 days of the window left. Or sell their star player and centre forward and proceed to do nothing for the next 3 weeks.
