Ha ha ha... ha ha ha......ha ha!
If we get a cheaper option it must be because Ange preferred it.
Oh my fuckin' days .
This is brilliant!
I think our window will look something like this:Based on our history under Levy I have exactly the same expectations as you mate.
Which is why I was trying to clarify it forThe Absolute GOAT
When people ask what I'd like to see when I say the owners don't want to invest to win, it's easy to get bogged down with that debate.
Examples make it easier. There are plenty of links out there that are just obviously lower budget versions of the better players in the positions/roles it looks like we need to invest.
but one who, unlike Austin, has had plenty first team expo already, even if it's in the Champo (eg SAFC's Patterson)

Nah wouldn't be surprised if we used our special relationship with RBL to get Bitshiabu on loan...can play LCB and LB
Richy never was worth 60 mil. Everton proper bummed us on that one.
They told the commission he was worth 80m. No wonder they got done
It was the going price for him imo, not over the odds.
You’re right. Personally I’d count players when they come in rather than when they were purchased because I’m interested in what they do in a spurs shirt but if people want to count it differently, I understand that. As long as people are consistent.
I think our window will look something like this:
- Backup GK: nobody, unless we somehow manage to shift Frase. If we did, gotta bring in a young
- RB: a Don Fabio special from Serie A, like Bellanova from Torino. Or maybe that Van de Berg from Boro or his brother from Dippers...both can play RB or CB *bonus pts *
- CB: Tarkowski...LOL inclusion for our man
- Eze for 60 or so mil...maybe Skipp going the other way or even Hojbjerg (Glassner is a highly-rated HC) to recoup 15 ish mil
- ST: Kolo Muani on loan from PSG...can play out wide or centrally. Or we'll reach even lower and get a Morata or Weghorst on loan or dirt cheap (except wages for the ex Chavs greasy twat)
Course it was over the odds. He was worth 30 mil tops, especially the position Everton were in. We got bummed, that's it.
I get what you're saying my man, but I'd argue none of our managers - Jose & Conte included - have ever been decision-makers. Conte & Mourinho might have had a bit more sway cause of their CV, but still. Had they made decisions, they'd have had better squads & might have won us something. Conte wouldn't have signed Spence if he called the shots. Doubt Jose would've picked Rodon.
Our model does enable us to sign the absolute best. We just don't. That's what JT and others complain about. Rightly or wrongly ain't for me to judge.
Spot on.
