Willing to pay 60m for MGW. We have money.How are we going to pay for him ?

They want £70M guaranteed plus add-ons, reportedly.I don't see it. He's young and got loads of potential sure, but his scoring record is pretty shit and they want like £70m for him. If we're spending big money on a striker it should be on someone who is all but guaranteed to give us 20+ goals a season.
Sesko might turn out to be that guy but it's a gamble we cannot afford. We've already made so many mistakes on expensive punts in the transfer market.
in our current state Hoping we see some 4-4-2.
Vicario
Porro-Romero-Vdv-Udogie
Kudus - Pahlinha - Bentancur - Odobert
Solanke - Richy (Tel/Johnson)
Patrick? Good place to retire apparently.
Played well for bournemouth last season. Exceptional movement. Do think kaliumendo might happen. Ranks highly in french league stats. Most of them though are PSG players. Kluivert we should consider as well.
Do think as well we want to sting forest hijacking a player imo.I hear that we are monitoring the situation, considering our options, preparing bids, considering hi-jacking and generally thinking about lots of players.
From the clips, Marc Casado looks like a destroyer DM / 6. Wiki sez he can also play at RB or CB, although at 5'8" he isn't going to play CB in the PL....
This suggests we want an aggressive midfield that can protect the defence and break up play for quick transitions. It seems Frank & Cochrane see Bergval, Gray & Sarr primarily as 8s, with tenacious players like Palhinha & Casado behind them, giving them the licence to make forward runs & potentially press high. Not sure where Bentancur fits in, and Bissouma would definitely be off if we sign Casado.
Against the bus parkers though, we're crying out for the guile & creativity in midfield that Maddison, and to a lesser extent, MGW, would have provided. We still need a 10.

Obviously I’m bitter because I want us to sign this player but it’s embarrassing what football is allowing clear lake to turn it into.
They’ve signed 40 players in 2 years or some crazy shit like that. Then they just pull dodgy shit to move out unwanted humans to make space for new ones because they never really bothered to make a plan other than “The best ones will stay”.
Thanks for the trigger memories.The Sugar era was lean, selling Spurs with George Graham as manager to ENIC in a couple of tranches, the first of which was in 2001 exiting completely in 2007 or thereabouts - but still with minimal cash, and a very weak playing squad
In the Sugar years and early ENIC years Spurs were almost always well into the bottom half of the table - indeed my memory of those times was breathing a sigh of relief when we passed 40 points, usually at end of March or in to April.
Over a third of our goals from last season have gone with the loss of Son and the injuries to Maddison and Kulu
We scored 61 last year and those three accounted for 23 of them - 37 percent.
Solanke scored 9 so if he's out for an extended period of time half of our total goals will be on the treatment table.
Tel, Richarlison and Kudus have to significantly increase their goal contributions otherwise we are in trouble.
You know what you are doing. I know what you are doing. Everyone knows what you are doing.
If it was purely football related, why ask the opinions of “Levy defenders”?
At least own it and don’t be so disingenuous. You’re better than that.
