Because spending £150m on players like Strand-Larsen or Mateta — guys who are available and being actively shopped — isn’t the sign of ambition that some think it is.
There were probably two (or three) UCL level players transferred this window:
Semenyo, who had a release clause that was triggered.
Guehi, because the selling club weren’t prepared to let him walk away for nothing in summer.
Connor Gallagher is probably the third rated player transferred this window.
And, yes, I’m disappointed we didn’t buy a senior LB but I sure as hell don’t want Andy Robertson for the next three years and you would be bonkers if you did.
There’s a reason that clubs get to spend six times more in summer than January.

Yeh he’s now having an op and out for several weeks apparentlySky says Italians withdrew from the Mateta deal after further med checks.

Tottenham are so boring to watch.Frank is so boring. Vinai is so boring. Unbelievable we can be even worse than we once were in so many ways.

That just completely ignores the spend over the last five years or more — most of which has been poorly spent.25 years of this bollocks and still giving them the benefit of the doubt![]()
I still haven't come down from that highForThe Extra Mile(sey) and I, the season was a resounding success the moment we scored 3 vs PSG.
Less the great effort in the second half yesterday, we finally agree on something.
Top bags-man too.
Remember the time we had JD, Keane and berbatov at the club? What a quality trio of strikers
