Pretty disappointed Perisic is still your player but when I see your problems it makes me wonder how such a big club can have such irresponsible management. I mean, you cant have few players you wont register and still you need to pay them for not playing. Furthemore, you are waiting till last second for Johnson like he is Mbappe. All for what, few millions down? And no CB yet. I really enjoyed your football under Ange, but with this squad i cant see Tottenham in top 4, not because your players arent that good, yes they are, but suspensions and injuries will come and you will be f up. So better dont hope for big things, disappointment will be smaller, believe me, I am used to it.

We won't be top four again for a long time.
 
That’s why it’s so utterly crucial that we had a good window to replace Kane and set us up for Cl this season. If we get CL somehow (or at least finish top 6), Ange looks like a genius, we get the cash injection, and suddenly our pull is back and we can really make some moves next summer.

But with this, we could easily dwindle down to 10th with just one or two injuries and I’m not sure if we have the firepower to score enough goals for top 4/5.

It’s sad bc this is a real opportunity season for us and we seem to have bungled it.
We've just really got to bed in Ange's ideas (which are the right direction for a forward-thinking football club in general) and maintain an environment where players can develop in that direction. We're going nowhere short medium or long term without that.

As we saw on Tuesday, that doesn't happen if the materials are below a certain standard.
 
There is something in our fan base that means no matter how much the evidence points otherwise, they will argue this player is a good signing. We literally tolerate failure and celebrate mediocrity like no other big club.
I posted on this yesterday.
We like shiny, new things to play with. It’s probably a human trait because almost every club’s supporters do the same thing.
It’s the same reason that we praise the non-participants like Spence (and Rodon for years).
And then the shiny, new things tarnish and we want shinier and newer.

I don’t think we tolerate mediocrity any more than other clubs. Our expectations have risen and fallen over the years depending on our circumstances. I can’t think of another set of supporters that has booed so many of its own players over the decades. Of course, I’ve never attended other team’s games as regularly.
 
I'm glad not everyone on here is happy about the club settling on mediocrity.

ENIC's ambition began and ended with their multi-purpose stadium.

The stadium was never the game changer. We are spending more but everyone else is spending more too. We still have one of the lowest wages/turnover ratios in the league and we never compete with our rivals for the best players just like we didn't when in the smaller WHL.
