This is very true.
It's hard to think of a player we have signed where the club didn't need to sell them or they didn't have a year left, release clause or the club wasn't in a financial mess.
He literally only signs distressed assets.

Dislodging the likes of Dier & Sanchez will be quite a challenge
However I'm quietly confident that Maldini & Nesta will be asking for his autograph before 2023 is out
Our best defence would probably be.... Emerson - Romero - Tapsoba - Udogie.
So two from last season, the best two we had, but I rather think Ange will favour Porro at LB because he wants the team to focus on attack. Anyway from the 4 players that I listed. as long as it's not Dier. Davies, or Lenglet but someone new like Tapsoba, our defence looks to be healthier.
I guess we should do this given how big the squad is, but Perisic has looked very good in pre-season in what is more like his best position. Trying to make him play full back was criminal really.Regarding Perisic
''According to Gianluca di Marzio, the experienced Croatia international is willing to terminate the final 12 months of his £165,000-a-week contract in order to secure a dream return to his old employers, Hajduk Split.''
Director says 'one of Europe's best' wants to leave Tottenham for his club
Tottenham have a decision to make...www.hitc.com
You’ve posted nothing but off topic nonsense today. Take the rest of the day off.
I think he plays as a forward for Forrest and Wales.
I can imagine Davies holding the LB position for a short time as Udogie can be a bit raw defending.
I think Porro and Udogie are the future as they have incredible talent but we need to have a stable defensive platform first
Add to that a 3-man midfield with players great at holding and distributing the ball I think we will be much better defensively overall, even if we are forced to play one of our poorer CB for a couple of games
I agree Perisic still has something to offer. His technique & delivery remain top class, and playing as a LW is physically easier than LWB.
But, he's on £165-180k per week (depending on who you believe), and that's a big chunk of salary for a player who will llikely be 3rd choice LW behind Son & Solomon.
Secondly, there are reports that his family are already looking at properties in Split. He will probably want to play there whilst he's still got plenty to offer. With his professional attitude & experience, I wouldn't be surprised if Perisic also wants to do his coaching badges to prepare for the next chapter of his football career.
Our Croatian members may know if Perisic has expressed any thoughts on life after retiring as a player.
I think he had a stint of playing as a wing back for Inter Milan, but he didn't seem to be very good at it in for us.Maybe he's a bit old for all the running that postions requires. You're right he has looked good playing as a left winger in the front three for the pre-season matches. I think Ange will usually start with Son there unless Kane leaves he might place Son in the CF position.
Not sure that's accurate. Not that I want to be seen defending him, but Romero, Porro, Hoijberg, they were all on longish contracts with clubs that didn't want to sell them. Must be more but I can't remember them all.
But there's no doubt at all Daniel fucking loves a transfer where he has the aces in his hand.
The fact this behaviour has repeatedly been detrimental to our club for 2 decades should make him the most hated man in Spurs history. Up there with Judas tbh.
There's nothing ON topic to talk about.
Davies is anything but stable. Udogie will 100% start at left back if fit against Brentford.
Dreamland. Brentford and Man Utd are set up to exploit our defence when they get the ball. Our hope is that we are clinical in attack and convert the chances we create with our attacking play. I think we will need 3 goals to beat Brentford and maybe 4 to beat Utd because we are going to concede goals.
Not yet.
No one is putting in a bid until Friday, then we'll see. Saying it's done is just adding drama to the 'plot twist: Chavs have bid for someone they want to loan out'.
Liverpool 2-0 Bayern atm. They've had a very underwhelming pre-season, screws sure to be turning on them to get Kane over the line.
