If that is genuinely what you believe is the Ethos of Levy and ENIC despite the 20 plus years of evidence that has borne out before us all, then you truly are lost my friend.
I wish I shared your optimism mate.
This is why ENIC get away with being the only big six club who don't deliver.
When you have fans who, are just content with, a bit of attacking football and, developing younger players and selling them on, then you are not going to be in the queue for prizes.
Unfortunately there are many like that who, are not really interested in seeing a successful club and, defend levy to the hilt , it's sad and strange in equal measure.
I don't get why that is so controversial, for the most part since ENIC have been at the helm that has happened unless for the vast majority of the time we haven't had attacking coaches and we've bought ready made stars?
Be interesting to know what you think the ethos of the club is...

Your reading compression and general lack of understanding about context is as per usual utterly abysmal, nowhere did I say that I am 'content' with just attacking football and developing younger players or not being successful, Christ what a desperate takeaway from such a basic post, what are we even doing here? lmao
Keep him and let him develop with us as we know we will buy bang average players instead. Just give the kids who have potential a start. Keep saying it buy 3 top quality players, promote some youngsters for Europa / League cup and subs in PL and get a couple of unknown hidden gems or players who come on the market which are great deals.
I started this transfer window confident that we would spend big and fill some positions that needed upgrading. It could still happen, but I am not as confident now.
AVI Battle!!!!
Get the popcorn kids! The two Larry David's are going at it!
There's a "reason" if Adeyemi is for sale already at that price. He arrived at Dortmund with lots of hype and he cost them €38m (in 2022), and only 2 years later, at the age of 22, his fee went down. There's some "smoke" right there. His "attitude" was already questioned while he was at Bayern (from 2010-12). But he's the type of player Spurs need though: fast, technical, left-footed, can play as WLF, WRF & CF.
Adeyemi hits back at critics: "Strange how people judge someone they don't know"
Karim Adeyemi has brushed off criticism that his relationship with Kosovo Albanian rapper Loredana has had a negative impact on his performances.

Sancho seem to have the same attitude problem that Spence has: although both are "nice" they seem to lack discipline and often shows up late for practice, etc.
Adeyemi is Werner on steroids from what I've seen. More explosive but if anything less reliable infront of goalThere's a "reason" if Adeyemi is for sale already at that price.

Because fans know absolutely fuck all.
Hard to sell a 60m asset who is determined to stay and prove themselves
Some will never understand. Good luck trying to make them understand. Levy Lovers make a point of trying to justify why Huge Real Estate Builds will ultimately Build a Better team. They also try to justify all Levy's punt Transfers. Even though the record shows how much we've spent on players, potentially the next Lionel Messi, that end up just being Messy (Ndombele, Gil, Spence....). We don't have die hard Football Fans anymore. We have Accountants that drool at the thought of being the 8th richest club in the world with not one trophy to show in..... Forever. And they still try to justify it.
It's Amazing that these idiot Football Fans take their hard earned cash and donate it to building a Real Estate Empire.
No to Adeyemi and Sancho.
Sancho is too far gone with his terrible attitude issues. People keep praising his 2nd half of the season at Dortmund but he was really inconsistent and overall mediocre barring a few games. He only had 5 g/a in total. Might have taken him instead of Timo but not the both of them.
Adeyemi is just not good enough. He's got explosive pace for sure but his end product is terrible. For reference, Brennan Johnson has the same number of goal involvements for us this season that Adeyemi has had for Dortmund over the past two seasons.

Should be the primary objective, no?!
Fair point, it's tough. Still doable, though...gotta pay the right money & sell them the right message.
Of course...provided we do alright in the league too ie top 5.
