Is 100m injection in today's market significant enough?
You rarely pay for a player up front, for example a £100 million player might be £20 million over 5 years, so £100 million up front with whatever else we would normally spend could actually be quite significant
Aren't we all?
I can’t see them selling him full stop if they want to hang onto Glasner.
A "punt"?
Johnson scored 18 goals last season and was involved in 1 in 3 of Spurs goals.
Sure, he's not a winger who dribble past anyone and whip dangerous crosses into the box, but he's a capable 2nd striker who will score a shed load of goals and, will get back and defend when he needs to.
Frank seems to prefer taking time to get the ball up the pitch, aiming to win set pieces - then crowding the box - which of course doesn't suit Johnson at all (or Xavi, Odobert, Tel, Solanke). He's far more likely to request the club to sign Chris Wood.
Agreed on Johnson.
Doesn't escape the fact that 100m amounts to little more than 1 x 50m player on a 200kpw 5 year deal
(.........Nor that a mere 100m doesn't touch the sides in term of the debt we've already accumulated in player installments).
It won't move the needle............
Just look how much money Chavs & City had to burn through to elevate themselves.... And that was during a time where Arse were on the downslide and Liverpool were in the muck.... And mostly in a pre petro-doped economy.

Wouldn't wages be separate though? If not then yeah £100 million ain't doing much .....
fixxy still shillin’
Not unless someone from the club has specifically stated that this so-called injection is to exclusively be spent on trf fees.
It ain't doing much either way.
I’d rather get injections on the NHS , they are free.
I don't know why people are finding this 'funny'. I was being deadly serious.
I've been told I have a very toned back and arse.
Great so we should have plenty of clubs knocking down the door then to give us 50m in that case
100m cash injection is very significant not sure why you are playing it down.
it's the rough equivalent of reaching the CL SF.
............By all means quantify the impact you believe it will have.
Unrealistic and won't happen but ideally we want Semenyo for left wing. I also like iliman Ndiaye. We should also be looking at players like Wharton Anderson for the middle. There's plenty of good players available in the prem from lower sides (traditionally)alone so there really is no excuse from enic right now after all the talk and pr that's been going on since Levy left. If they don't improve this team in January then they really do need to just fuck off now enough talking do or go.
Do you think we need a left back?
Yes but that won't happen until we move Davies on in the summer.
Our defence is fine. The attack needs surgery.
He's a big part of the reason we have a boring, average squad right now. "Plenty" of good players..?
