We're going round in circles here mate.

You acknowledge that we spend a lower proportion of our revenue on player wages than every one else..not just in England but in every major league in Europe.

The obvious conclusion is we are not attracting the quality of player we could if we invested more. And obviously we could invest more if we chose to.

If Liverpool, for instance, only invested around 40% on wages, they would not be signing the quality of player they are now.

It's a scam mate. There's no other word to describe it.

You are just repeating the same stuff to rubbish the club. We are attracting players from other clubs. When a player decides which club to go to it is his wages he is interested in and not some ratio. I accept we cannot compete with the top 5 clubs but that is not every club in Europe. As we are bottom of this ratio then are you saying a West Ham player would not come to us?
I clearly am not getting through to you but this ratio you relentlessly quote is not the problem. That does not mean we should be shying away from paying more wages to top targets. Players are not leaving due to low wages.

Why do we "have to replace Lange"?

Why has is it been a disaster since he came in?


Kudus
Danso
Tel
Takai
Vuskovic
Palhinha
Gray
Solanke
Bergvall
Odobert

'Its like he's just muddied the waters and made the whole process of signing and selling players unnecessarily complicated'

How do you know the workings of the Spurs transfer process and policy?

How is it 'unnecessarily complicated'

You like I have no clue what is happening behind the scene, you are just guessing and making stuff up.

Ha ha! What are you on.🤣

Of course it's his wages he's interested in. And if we paid higher wages he's more likely to come.

We could attract BETTER players that we can't attract now
So if we invested more of our revenue in player wages, we'd be signing better players.

Jesus...what are we doing here?

I didn't realise that James McAtee has one year left on his City deal

Only 22, English, a hardworking number 10/wide right attacker, good attitude, won't be asking for crazy wages

This is the classic THFC opportunistic deal just waiting to be completed :levyeyes:

I would take McAtee in a heartbeat- not sure why we haven't gone for him- City are at least willing to do business with us...

But we did pay Kudus more money and so he came. You just do not accept that we only have a problem with wages with the top 5 and not the whole PL.

Goals win games and right now we have no goals in this team. You don't just automatically get a top 10 finish because you are Spurs.

This is classic normalcy bias. Massive chunk of this fan base and the owners are walking us off a cliff. They can not see we are in a very precarious place. We lose a few games early iln heads drop the odd injury, this could go very very wrong.

32 ain't old, especially for a goalie.

I prefer good players to English or any other nationality. Why has Gallagher failed at Atleti and fallen behind even Henderson for England?

Gallagher played 50 games last year. For one of the biggest clubs in the world...mainly, for one of the most demanding managers in the history of the game. I'd hardly call that failing but you do you. And yeah cause England squad selections them past few years been so wise.
