Yeah, I don't agree either but at this stage I'll take Spurs being number 1 at anything...
Are Wilson and Tel actually better than Solomon? Those two can hardly shot but I have seen Solomon band some in. Just saying.
Forget politics or religion, the guys' SIGNATURE is cause for concern as well!
Looks like a 5 year old done did it!
(Ah, maybe there's a chance English isn't his first written language??)
I take it all back!
And that according to Jeff Stelling gives us the best transfer window
Porro on right, Spence on left for me, all depends whether Opponent has a brilliant left or right winger. Spence would play left or right to counteract that winger as both Porro and Udogie are weaker than him defensively.
Have to disagree on that.
When he is not professional and committed, it is mindset above some raw skill.
Meaning we lose less when we freeze out his abilities than we would lose if we have someone in the side who is not even bothered doing most basic things. Can't rely on him doing more difficult things then either, sorry. I wanted him to do well for us, but its over.
He will be shipped out to wherever the window is open and this is it with him. As I said we need to compensate this with other players now.
Post removed.Maybe they only just realised he was Israeli.. ?
Bad optics innit?!
I think all 3 are shit
I do feel the difference though is this year that 120m net was spent on “ready now” players, whereas recently they have almost been seen as punts on future that hasn’t improved the team at all.
However as always windows will be judged with the benefit of hindsight.
On the face of it, looks a very good window for us, but we have thought that previously and bitten us, and sometimes what we think was poor window, have with hindsight been decent.
The net spend is high because we bought
rubbish and can't get rid of them for decent prices
I presume based on the fact it’s a loan with an option I think
Yeah, we certainly have more quality now than at the start of the window, and maybe Frank will polish some of those rough diamonds we bought into gems, but we fell so far behind in the last few years and you have to spend a bit more to catch up.
But Simons and Kudus are permanent?
I’m even more confused now
Well Liverpool got totally screwed by them anyway. Pulled the plug at the last moment leaving Pool with no time to get a Guehi replacement after they spent the day working on his medical and announcement video because everything was done.
They almost screwed us again with solomon too by changing their mind in the final moments. Thankfully the Spanish deadline went a bit over so we found another option.
Palace have been an absolute nightmare to deal with, and thats before we even get to the Eze saga.
I am quite reassured by the ambition shown by the club this window.
If you think about it, not only did we sign who we signed, we also tried to sign Hincapie which would have been about 50 million. We tried for Savinho for around 60 - 70 million. We almost signed Eze for 65 million.
City wouldn't sell Savinho and the other two chose another club. Not much we can do about that.
The issue the club faces, is we are targeting a specific level of player, and those players have other clubs wanting them too. As we've seen with the scum. As those other clubs are sometimes more appealing than we are.
So it's a tough thing for the club to navigate and overcome. So the fact we have signed Simons, Muani, Palinha and Kudus is actually really good work.
Hincapie and Savinho would have been the icing on the cake.
What this shows, is the money is there to do these deals and bring in quality, we are willing, but it all depends on can we actually get the player in, do they want us.
So hopefully this season we can kick on, finish top 5 or 6, and keep being an attractive option for players, and slowly we can build and improve.

think thats a very simplistic way to look at it. We offered 45m initially and by the sounds of it we had verbally told them we'd meet their original asking price of 70m but City changed their stance and said he's not for sale.
We waited in the hope they'd change their stance but the Cherki injury ruled out any slim chance of them doing so. Can't really blame the club here imo. We were being ambitious and willing to pay a transfer record for a player that a top club did not want to sell. We didn't want anyone else (Lookman, Garnacho, etc). We'll probably try again for Savinho in January.
We clearly think we can do something with him, he’s only 20.
At 22, Mo Salah went to Chelsea where he scored 2 in 13, previously he was at Basel where scored 9 in 47. In 2015 he went to Fiorentina on loan and scored 6 in 16 and then to Roma and scored 29 in 65. Aged 25 he moved to Liverpool and so far has scored 185 in 290….
Lets see
You've got a real hard-on for someone that probably played less than a dozen games for us.
It's very strange.
Development? Who gives a fuck?
We need to be selling him first chance we get, average player that's done the square root of fuck all in a Spurs shirt and yet some on here are acting as if he's some sort of club legend for 'ahem' reasons.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Someone wishes well for a player that was contracted to Spurs and you go full ballistic and then follow up with totally out of-thin-air comparisons with Sons and Bissoumas and whatever? Get yourself checked out
. I think it is OK to wish well on players that were/are related to Spurs. I wish Gil well too, even though he did not work out well with us. Whats bad in that?
