Balls.
Yesterday: You made a sketchy point, argued it badly and shied away from difficult questions.
The only would be if we were in for another AM, I'm very confident that no one will pay £30-40m though. The value of £30-40m is based on what? 18 months playing for Villareal?
Seen this « not your money » take a lot. Why would that be at all compelling in the real world? The money is the club’s… the one we support… the club will always want to use its resources as effectively as possible.
Any other stance is living in delusion.
Isn't that what the "game changer" stadium was designed for, to compete.
Not my word's, but those of the chairman I believe.
True enough, but not Spurs. Both in terms of the club's history and the club's ability to attract and extract revenue from its supporters.
Spurs can and should aim to be the best team in England and in the current marketplace the best team in England is inherently something close to the best team in the world.
Tottenham is the big leagues and if ENIC didn't want that to be the level of expectation they shouldn't have built the stadium.
Enjoying my hols so intermittently catching up , has Poundland Kroenke shown any sign of investing the Kane money in the team ?
Nobody said it was like buying off Amazon.
What you say is common sense your not saying anything new. Sellers also regret not selling players at certain points Raya at Brentford being a recent example. We were prepared to pay 30m they wanted 40m 6 weeks later he goes for a fair bit less. It’s a gamble both ways
True enough but not Spurs. Took acception to the statement it's a primary goal as if it's a universal truth but it's anything but.
What is your point?
You want Spurs - the first British club to win the league and cup double and the first British club to win a UEFA Competition - to be a club with the best stadium in the world, best training facilities in the world, one of the highest revenues in the world, amongst the most profitable in the world, formally had the best srriker in the world....
but at the same time Spurs should settle for the same outcomes as "many clubs in the football league"?
You are cool with this great football club having the same goals as Blackburn? or Wolves?
No mate. You failed to understand my basic points and made a completely stupid argument that was nothing to do with my original point
Fair enough I suppose, though promotion sort of stands in for a trophy at clubs in lower leagues.
Winning things, securing major achievements, stuff that goes in the record books, however you want to say it.
So you agree that when people say « just pay the fee » they are talking nonsense?
You’re ignoring the fact that Levy has about £1.2 billion invested in the club. This is a ‘greedy’, bald cunt who is going to let go someone because he makes better business decisions? Literally lose millions of pounds because he’s jealous of an employee?
That’s some pretty crap psycho-babble.
Strategically identifying and targeting players with feasible release clauses has become an increasingly important aspect of transfer business at major clubs, that should be mentioned even with your point being broadly correct.
Have Spurs EVER secured a player via payment of a release clause?
What has that got to do with what I quoted?
"Yes but the primary goal for a football club is to win trophies."
Actually, it does far more.
It can massively increase the value of a lower league club if the club can maintain its place in the higher division.
Cups add very little.
