Said no-one.... Stop lying.
Not a good window but people also need to accept how difficult it is and was always going to be for a multitude of reasons.
1) Clubs right now aren't going to forget that we've just receieved a large chunk of money for Kane, and will try to milk us as Levy did to Bayern.
2) We have no Champions League football which is a requirement for most top players, the kind of players we want to be signing.
3) We've had a pretty positive start under Ange but that's all it is as of right now, a start.
There's still some deadwood at the club that needs shifting, the likes of Sanchez, Dier and to a lesser extent Hojberg. But they will all be on big wages and it's not an easy thing to move them on even if you're almost giving them away.

Agreed, I don’t know why people feel the need to make up number or descend into conspiracy theories about Levy when there are already so many legitimate reasons to criticize him.Massively underrated comment
I hate Levy more than anyone here. But even I'm sick of people deducting money spent to "prove" we haven't spent money. That's just plain fucking dumb that is.
Great point! It's the Hotel California in reverse. "They can check out any time they like, but they won't ever leave."
Valid points, but what I was trying to say was that we are still shopping more from the bargain bins than competing with the other big teams with significant finances.
Why do you sound like anything but a spurs fan?
You forgot Solomon.
This was a timid window given we have made 100m.
We weren’t getting all the guys on your list and some we weren’t interested in.
I gave up worrying and getting worked up over it many years ago. Far better for my heart health.
Top 6 net spending 23/24 so far:
Chelsea = £197m. Responded to their poor 22/23 season
Woolwich = £167m. Spent big f them
Man UTD = £150m. Normal spending
Spurs = £135m (inc loaners Porro & Kulu, £70m both). Excluding loans became permanent didn't recruit enough where matters to address poor 22/23 season and Kane's departure
Man city = £126m. Steady eddy
Liverpool = £111m. Another steady eddy. £150m plus Salah to Saudia may still happen

I think their mentality is that European football, champions league especially, is great for revenue increases, brand recognition and increasing the global fan base. That builds equity in their investment.
That's the best attitude. If Johnson is the fit for system Postecoglou believes then you can count this window as a win. I just wish Spurs had ambition that was more in line with their revenue.
Agree, chelsea bought 12, edited.
you fucking guys make me howl. I wish I could apply this logic to buying a car on hire-purchase.
What’s that Mr bank manager, I’ve overspent? No you see, I’ve had that car on hire for the past two years, so the £15,000 I just spent doesn’t count, I already own the car, so I CAN afford the waffle iron.
We just spent c.£210million on transfers. That’s a fact.

Arguments like this will never cease as diff. people approach the matter differently.
Lets assume good faith from both sides and that one isn't trying to 'con' the other..... This is why an average annual net spend since the stadium opened is the fairest practical metric for anyone that doesn't want to do full-on accountancy cos-play.
Tottenham Hotspur - All transfers
This page shows all ever transfers of the Tottenham, including arrivals, departures and loans. It also displays the transfer fees.
FWIW our avg net since 2019 went UP (again) because of this summer's trf activity.
Spurs (m/euros):
22/23 in 177.9 out 38.7 = 139.2m (not Porro/Kulu inc.)
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
23/24 in 248.6 out 112.7 = 135.9m (inc. Porro/Kulu)
New avg (net spend) = €103.92
(Off course you can swap what year you allocate Porro & Kulu, but the avg remains the same.)

It was a joke, get a sense of humour ffs....oh I'm a real one, that's why I have no trust for these owners. ...... what was the point of veliz anyway, he won't ever play enough. Can you name me the last foreign youngster we bought that eventually became a quality first team player ???
I'm not sure there is one, also why would I be wasting my time on this forum if I wasn't a spurs supporter ? Before you come out with some shit I don't understand, I'm too old and have a life so I wouldn't be wasting effort posting on some other clubs forum....I love how if you don't agree with everything the club does then you're not a supporter
time to grow up people, make your own decisions
Biss said he came for CL last summer.
Quite likely Perisic & Udogie did too.........
....And as we know with Kane; sometimes it helps KEEP players here too.
