I think it was a real shame we missed out on Bremner he would have been excellent but he wanted to stay in Italy.

Billy has been dead years!!
And they blew it
He'd have to be on free kicks just so the commentators could scream "He just took that shot of Jizz to the face!"
That works with players that are in lower ranked teams, that have players who are happy to leave for higher ranked clubs.
The players we've primarily been linked with are playing for higher ranked clubs and have no desire to leave them. I'm alluding to the likes of Bastoni here. You've also got to factor in how much the other club wants to sell.
If you try the unsettling that you refer to, it rarely works with these bigger clubs. Look at how City fared when they tried to unsettle Kane. We didn't want to sell, so he stayed. The financial powerhouse that is Man Utd aren't exactly having huge success there either.
You have a very simplistic view on how transfers go, usually used as a vehicle to bash the club.
LOL’ing at the disagree
But don't tell the Bots though they get upset if questioned and told they are wrong

You telling anyone anything means less than jack shit, fella.
I don't understand? Should spurs fans not be excited be incomings, irrespective of whether you determine them good or not?
Every signing is something to be excited about, but your criticising said excitement, despite calling for more signings, which we will get excited about again.
Or is it, only you, and certain others know when the right time to get excited is?
Rory is still around though...
Getting excited by proven quality 1st team players is cause for ridicule according to the dark, turgid & miserable world of some.
Seeing us spend 60m on a single bench player is an indicator of us seeking the "cheapest option" according to the same contingent.
The usual pocket of people are so transparently desperate for Conte's tenure to go to shit; it's palpable.
it seems conte and paratici want udogie.
the guy is very good, he would be a wonderful buy, but he's not what we need now

Antonio Conte: Tottenham will make signings with 'common-sense'
Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte says the club will use 'common-sense' with the signings they make and hasn't ruled out making more in the transfer window.

The OWNERS, mate. Not the CLUB
*these stepford supporters really need to start distinguishing between the two*
Anyhow, that aside, 1 Carling Cup in over 2 decades, and 0 trophies in 15 years, for a club of our size and wealth surely indicates I have a very valid point.
The stats don't lie, my friend, whichever way you want to spin them
Edit: Big thanks to

for enlightening me to the term "Stepford fan / supporter" I think I'll be using it quite a lot in the future

It wasn't really communicated that way at all - all that was said by the club was that 150m share issue was put in place to help the club with transfers and other capital projects, or words to that effect. Nothing was said about it being in addition to existing budget or whatever - for all we know 150m was to allpw us to get signings in without first having to raise cash through sales and any money brought in goes to recouping what was spent.
Don't even need to look to know it's any of about 5 repeat offenders.
Our window has been solid. It hasn't been spectacular. The squad is deeper which is good.
The fact we have Conte probably elevates the signings considerably over what they would be for a Nono type coach.
When the news broke about the mythical £150m kitty though, the ENIC bots were making out as if everyone who doubted ENIC was and still is wrong.
And yet we spent half the window haggling over £12m for Spence. Seem to be identifying cheaper alternatives to the likes of Maddison etc.
The current net spend is what £50m or so?
It's better than some windows, but it's not an all out "go get em" window.
Just to clarify - I'm ok with that. We did it with GLC and TND and now we're stuck with the fuckers.
Conte today has said he wants to build the squad with common sense "the only way I know how"
He's right.
I just think, and I thought months ago, let's wait and see how this all pans out before anyone get's to say they told anyone so.
