They'd put him on a treadmill then leave him for a bit. When they returned they'd find him on a Segway, on the treadmill, munching on a Mars bar!

Would it be that much different than playing as a marauding LCB under Conte's system (at least in the first year of Conte)?
Any smart person knows how much they can afford to spend/lose when they walk into an auction, casino or wherever....... Budgets v final actual spend needn't transpire to be one and the same, but it is 100% practical and sensible to set one for yourself at the begining of every window.
If nothing else; you won't otherwise know how much you can afford to apportion to each position/need.
Any substance/reason behind to that £150m figure?
It's significantly higher than those in our income bracket........
Spurs (m/euros):
22/23 in 177.9 out 38.7 = 139.2m(*)
21/22 in 95.9 out 34.6 = 61.3m
20/21 in 110.50 out 13.3 = 97.2m
19/20 in 150.5 out 64.5 = 86m
= €383.7m (net spend) / Avg per season = €95.92m
(*and no; that total doesn't include the much squabbled over Kulu & Porro fees)
Arse (m/euros):
22/23 in 192.3 out 23.8 = 168.5m
21/22 in 167.40 out 31.4 = 136.0m
20/21 in 86 out 19.1 = 66.9m
19/20 in 160.8 out 53.6 = 107.2m
= €478.6m (net spend) / Avg per season = €119.65m
Liverpool (m/euros):
22/23 in 137.3 out 80.7 = 56.6m
21/22 in 87.0 out 29.5 = 57.5m
20/21 in 84.0 out 17.2 = 66.8m
19/20 in 10.4 out 48.0 = -37.6m
= €143.3m (net spend) / Avg per season = €35.82m
I personally don't believe that Net spend is a good way to assess the quality of a rebuild. Considering the players that are shining at Spurs this season so far all cost less than 1 Declan Rice I think we have to assess our catching up on whether or not we catch up with them on the pitch, and not in the net spend league
You don't think these murmurs might be bullshit for clicks from fans in Spain that want GLC to come back?
Nah, let's......... SC is bollocks.... Post their crap at your peril.
It's mad that we know there isn't a reason but we also know there isn't a Spurs fan alive that thinks Levy is ever going to spend as aggressively as their owners.
God how bad is it to shift players that are shit and not going to play for us . Do some of these so called footballers even want to play
They’ve been consistently explicit about their virtuous circle of reinvestment. All club profits go back into the team - it’s the mantra that underpins all the NFL and stadium stuff.
So we should be investing whatever profit we’ve made last season plus player sales.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Spending is less important than scouting.
Been reading on newsnow orban prefers a move to lille. We better start sorting this striker situation out as we could end up like pavlyuchenko and campbell a few seasons back that cost Ramos his job. Need to get moving imo as it's a long season and realistically we needed at least one striker but I'd prefer two (form and injuries).
Some footballers look at playing just as a regular job. Sucks to say out loud, but it's the truth. Getting paid larger wages not to perform? Sounds pretty good!
Bad bad recruitment.
Imo 3 managers in four years has created the deadwood. Different managers, different ideas. Heard were after Jonathan david for 55m. I reckon that will happen if lo celso goes.

A guess. Given we seemed to be spending about 100m a year since Poch's final season, and we're in a very comfortable financial situation and our growing commercial revenue, that's what I went for.
Supposing we spend 150m a year for 3/4 years we should (in theory) have the core of a decent squad, so that we don't need to spend much for a while. Similar how RM bought stars like Benzema, Bale, Ronaldo, Ramos etc. and then had a very low net spend for like 5 years, cos all they needed to do was buy Courtois, and a bunch of wunderkinds from Brazil, while offloading the likes of Reguilon, Kovacic, and Morata for very nice fees.
It is when you can't play both of them. The one played sparingly will devalue very quickly.
Ndombele has been hard work for our club. Training, performance, timekeeping attitude and being transferred out. On par with conte as being high maintenance for our club.
We’ve seen 100M scrubbed off the P and L due to no CL
