Same. I actually really like him and thought there was a lot of Mane in there…but his actual numbers weren’t what they could have been this year.
Maybe he kicks on next season and we regret it though

Bayern weren’t selling until the player asked to leave because he was stuck behind Kane. They saw him as a CF. If you trust Bayern’s judgment then he’s the rotational striker for Solanke
It was 22 defeat and an increasing inability to win outside of a poor europa league.
That's the only reason
Doubt it’s true at all. We get linked with hundreds of players every window that don’t materialise and I’d put it in that bracket.
No, I’m saying that we just spent £30m on a player who will be competing with three other players for that position. So we will not be spending massive money on Rashford and also will not pay his wages.
Where do you think Tel will play? At RB?
Has he got highlights
Preferred we didn’t buy him at all and we used that money towards getting eze and or Brian m. Alternatively we should have asked for pualinha from BM as we needed a CDM far more than another unproven wide forward when we have so many on the books already.
Same as fee for Tel near enoughCombined fees less than £45M.
Think spam would still have a better forward line
You
may have a point but I think he did agree to keeping Tel from the off.
Lankshear and dorrington?
Well there is factual evidence behind that they had Johnson lined up for £30/35M before we jumped in payed much more. Then same with gray although not sure on the fee Brentford had agreed.
Spurs haven't turned a profit in quite a few years (5 I think) and have had a number of assets (player) depreciate to zero value (Ndombelly, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Lamela, Moura).
Reluctance to increase the salary ceiling means the club is spending far too much money on average players (Tel, Johnson, Gray, Solanke, Odobert, Richarlison), in the hope that the young ones turn into something special and the older ones 'do a job'.
If the squad Spurs has were fit and healthy - they are 2 or 3 players away from a title challenge. But, if Spurs can't keep Romero, VDV, Maddison, Kulu, Son, Richy, Bentancur fit; they are nothing more than mid table plodders.
And his uncanny ability to hit it straight at the goalkeeper 8 times out of 10Shite. Went to Hoffenheim for only £7 mill in January. Remember all the wafflers in our fanbase who swore he’d replace Kane
Why do so many of our own fans paint us as some kind of impoverished, destitute football club that can't possibly hope to compete with our peers
It's fucking bizarre

I agree for the price quoted. But quite often with these types of players adding goals in a big number is the last and final step to there development. Quite often these player types have it all apart from goals then it suddenly clicks for them. Hazard was abit like this in that sense, brilliant player but took time to get that serious output.
From what I have read and the little I have seen of him he may be worth half of that free quoted...

He's a very good footballer, very fast, good at passing, would be a decent Romero replacement but I hope we don't lose him
Well, we got him now. So look forwards not back. Hoping Frank can get more out of what should be a decent squad.
