Points wise and goals scored yes but I get your point. Toney and Kane can still press. I don't know the answer to this but how many goals have we scored directly from our centre forward pressing and making the opposition make a mistake that leads to us scoring?

We have scored a lot of goals from our press as a unit working. We should have probably scored double that amount if we were more comfortable playing the system.
Kane has been done as a pressing forward since Jose came in and taught him to stay fit more by doing less off the ball than he had to under Poch. Toney i don't know tbh because Brentford have never been a team to dominate games with their press. they counter-attack.
I'd prefer Isak but I don't suppose NC will let him out of their oily palms.
They will do for a fair price but we obv won’t pay

That's enough to get real quality just as long as it's not spread over 7 players
Take that number and divide it by 10. Maybe divide it by 5 if we get CL. That's what we're actually working with.
Doubt the club has more than 100m to spend, then add on whatever they recoup back in sales.
I doubt any manager at spurs, would get that amount to spend wishful thinking though.

Remember when they said that was Conte's budget because of some equity draw down. Then they never spent 50m of it.
Numbers aren't important, personnel is.
Let's get all the cheap world class players. I'm sure they are all really world class and it's just an anomaly they are cheap.
The club has to be in the market for, top class players when they come along and, be prepared to pay top price for them.
There has to be a balance of course, educated punts on young promising talent alongside very good players to help achieve success.
Despite the club almost being able to print money, levy just won't allow that to happen to, so it's a case of staying on the chosen path and hoping we strike lucky one year.
To a certain degree, very true.
See how it panned out last time we could really spend - the Bale money got us one (and a half) decent player. It's not all about the money, just ask Chelsea
This guy gets it.
We got to a CL final spending less than £150m on a whole squad of players.
Harry Kane and Harry winks cost £0.
Dele and Eric Dier £10m between them.
Lloris £11m Eriksen £11m.
Sonny £22m.
We paid over £70m for Sanchez, jannsen and Aurier.
Where was the best value in those transfers? The big money ones??
It’s not what you spend. It’s the way that you spend it.
Pep Guardiola said that. I think.
And let’s not forget Ange won the treble in Scotland with a squad assembled for less than £10m and 5 cases of Irn Bru.
Probably.
Yeah let's do a Chelsea instead then...
win the champions league and premier league several times?
Sounds good to me.
To Dare is To Do What We Always Do.
Remember, "we all want to win trophies" but "We've got our Tottenham back" so that is what really counts.
I’ve been snorting cocaine all day to come off 5 grams of ketamine and been drinking tequila neat for coming up to 72hours and even I’m not falling for that tweet.
Although I did just buy a cow farm in a lovely place called Aleppo ?? on Facebook marketplace.
Not sure that’s going to be a great investment as I think the photos might be photoshopped.
Looks nice though.
Anyway.
Pull yourself together man.
