POK said we had 3 deals with the Green light just waiting on the other club. He hasn’t broken one story this summer and only chimed in on Solanke after the fact.
I do believe O’Keefe has sources but these things come and go quickly in football. Lange “working in silence” may just mean that the traditional agent/boardroom/employee apparatus isn’t clued in as much as they were previously. Anyways proof is in the pudding and to be quite honest there’s been two months of nothing sans Solanke.
 
He's expensive and few clubs can justify the outlay with FFP. we on the other hand remain hundreds of millions away from FFP breach.

Anyhow all I was saying is if we were spending 30 million more on solanke we may as well have osimhen

Academic anyway, Ange wanted Solanke, ticks all the boxes of a striker he wants/needs.

Osimhen is a pipe dream for Spurs fans but it's never happening for a multitude of reasons, namely why the fuck would he come to us when he can get paid more elsewhere and play in the CL.

POK is a balloon too who knows nothing about what’s going on.
 
When the likes of fucking Bournemouth are spending 40 - 50 million on a player mate, Tottenham Hotspur spending 60 million is not a reason to start stroking off the chairman or talking of Marquee signings. Especially after banking nearly £100milion for Solanke's predecessor.
It's the absolute bare minimum a club of our immense size and wealth should be doing.
I'm simply answering a comment - I'm not the one bringing up marquee signings. Just that you could defend that 60m is a marquee signing number.

But to answer your comment, I agree that Levy is way too slow in acting on getting players in. But saying that we haven't spend a lot so far in this TW is just not true.
 
How many players short do you feel he is? What positions on the pitch do you feel we're woefully short in?
A backup LB, an experienced 6, and a10/RW/LW.

Those are pretty much needed as a priority. We've lacked protection of the CB's for a long time, since Vic really.

If Maddison has the same sort of season as he had afyer his injury, we're screwed because he was atrocious. We're light in the LW position with only Son and Timo really and the two lads on the right have been flaky. So an Eze type should absolutely be a priority.

A back up LB speaks for itself.

Three positions that need to be addressed this window if we're looking to challenge or get the top 4 trophy.
 
Raphinha and Hermoso. I’m sure of it.*

*But based on absolutely nothing.

All I know is nobody is expected to be staying The Lodge tonight, tomorrow or Saturday - so doesn’t sound like anything too close with anyone. 🤷‍♂️

Well it seems as if Moore is going to be getting mins this season so not sure LW is a huge priority.

Agree about LB and probably a 6 too, but woefully short is pure hyperbole.
