Mbuemo at £60m is almost a bargain.
The thing is, we need to stop thinking we are Brighton or dortmund but that’s how levy wants to operate. We are one of the top 10 richest clubs in the world. We should act like one but Levy refuses to. He doesn’t have the ambition levels of the other 9 teams in that top ten.
I was begging for us to sign him 3 seasons ago before this trajectory started. Anyone who watched him play against us knew he was a good player. Could have got him for half a johnson back then.
Course you were, son.
I was asking for us to sign Lionel Messi when he was just 17 but no cunt listened to me.
I'd say there is little point in looking at what positions Spurs need to strengthen until Angelos has gone and a new head-caoch has assessed the present players thoroughly, which is why I was so keen on letting Angelos go months ago. People keep saying that Spurs need WFs who will take players on but Spurs do actually have them somewhat, but it's clear Ange doesn't want them to take on their full backs. He wants them to get wide, make half a yard and put in crosses at the first opportunity or make space for the inverted FBs. I wonder why though because it's not like Spurs are flooding the box to get on the end of those crosses nor have the air dominance for it.
It's all just confusing messages and poorly coached tactical play. No player is really going to fulfil their potential if they can't play to their strengths. But Angelos believes his philosophy and system is more important than a player’s strengths and weakness'. It isn’t.

On another forum I said it even before this. We drew away there and he tore us a new one and then absolutely ran riot when they beat us 3 1 at home under Conte.

I could even live with acting like Dortmund and Brighton but we clearly, like everything, do a pound shop version of it. Levy got enthused by the data led approach because everyone was banging on about Brighton and Brentford 3 years ago. But they do theirs via a betting company and are miles ahead of ours which appears to be that dweeb Lange with a spreadsheet. So its classic Levy, cheap, half arsed and just going with the prevailing thought at the time.
Im jsut reporting prices I have seen. Tel will not be 50m there are countless reports saying bayern are more than happy to negotiate the fees down. 40, is the price I have seen quoted a few times so again I am going off reports. Solomon again quoted 20m by a few clubs sources...
or its simply the prices quoted in the media......
Most of our signings will be Ipswich, Leicester, Southampton players, just watch.
I think that we outright need to act like Dortmund or Brighton, just on steroids.
Because yes, we are one of the 10 richest clubs on the planet. But we know that our owners are not going to supplement that with their own money. We cannot buy just for the sake of it. So we need to not only have a plan for our recruitment, but for selling as well.
Which is the case for 99% of clubs in the world. Including some of the richest.
Funny enough a year or so ago there was a big call on here to act and buy more like Dortmund.
Just do either strategy better.
You can’t wait till the end of the summer to decide what players you want. Most of the best ones will have moved or will have decided to stay at their current club by then.
The whole point of having a director of football set up is that that recruitment is not the pervade of the coach anyway. Obviously there’s a wrinkle with Paratici coming back but we need to to be working on signings now.
Whoever the coach is we need to sign a midfielder with real physicality to win duels, a right winger who can dominate their flank, and most likely a CB to replace Romero.
Go get him Spurs, he’ll be worth £50 m in 2 years. Let Brighton scouts identify players then get them.
If Delap is one of them then I don't see an issue there, likewise Dibling, who I think has a big future.
If we get anyone from Leicester then we need to bring back the guillotine!
With any luck he’s been misquoted and actually said he’d love to join a “top sixteen team”.
It’s the “ almost “ bit that won’t appeal to Daniel .
