Why does it matter to you/us what the club are paying? If they are spending it they can afford it, we know we aren't going to put ourselves in trouble with transfer fees
100%!
Said it in another post we need a player with magic. The ones we have I really don’t see any of them
Who are live say a gazza, rafael VDV, foden , silva or some who has great close control, beat players with skill, do one-twos, dummies, have great shot and free kicks.
Who do you think he replaces or is better than?
Because if we want to challenge, we probably need better players than Royal!!!Why would we get TWO fullbakcs in, specially if defensive minded ... if we have Royal in our books?
I would say that he is very capable replacement on that regard.
We could entertain idea of buying promising LWB option, true so we'd have also cover there.
I would say either one more fullback or one more CB in summer, not both. If it would be CB, we'd move Benny to LWB cover. Not perfect, but still decent.
I don´t think "capable" is what we need if we want to be challengers, we need at least "good" alternatives.
Why not both????
They will cover his wages, we will get 2-5m if they win the league and have a decent CL run and he can sign for them in the summer and get a well deserved signing-on bonus. Good for us and him
Why not? If we can flog Reguilon, Hojbjerg and Gil we will definitely sign another player.
I don't believe THFC should be signing inferior players.
Yeah you missed it. He won't deal with them NOW. At this price point, as opposed to say for Jude Soon-supbell whose deal includes sell ons to Chelsea. The point is he'd be spiting himself if he gave them millions right NOW more than he would be refusing to deal them out of this hole. He's waited along time for this FFP handcuff, I think the restrictions it causes is way more valuable to Enic and Spurs than any one player. Think bigger than Gallagher was my point. Its about the moment.
Love Neto or the other wolves speed merchant who’s always injured.
Well he plays for Wales, cause really he was born in Nottingham. But yeah he's Welsh.
I just wanna see more Englishmen in the starting 11 and roster. Miss the days we had Ledley, Walker, KWP, D-Rose, Dier, Dele, Harry, Defoe, Crouchy, Jenas, Hudders, Jakey...
Absolute dream would be to have one or two N17-born lads playing regularly for us. That brings something special, I think...but maybe it's the football romantic in me talking.
I think most of us liked Eric as a person! And i wish him all the best! Maybe he can come back in the future in some capacity, seems like a well grounded man!
Thanks for everything Eric!!
Oh I don't disagree, the valuation is there or thereabouts, probably a little high for my taste.I thought it was pretty clear - just assumed people naturally made the distinction between CM & AM - not a biggie though
If we saw another version of Skipp at Norwich playing this season we'd probably think they were ready too...
I'll trust the club/manager on their targets is all I'm saying and was following it up with saying that 40-50m for a player ready to slot in is fair value & affordable.
I saw Skipp in the Championship for Norwich and, whilst he was very good, you can see the difference. Wharton has a commanding presence on the pitch, Skipp has a bustling presence. Wharton just looks polished already, and will only get better IMO. If he has the mentality to go with the talent, his ceiling is ridiculously high, again IMO.
I don't think Gallagher would get any significant degree better than he already is, so I'd rather stick my money on Wharton as I honestly believe he will. He's already schooled Gallagher at 19, what's he going to be like a year from now? Two years from now?
If you're good enough, you're old enough, and he's good enough as far as I'm concerned.
You're speaking to a chartered accountant.
Swiss Ramble even did an expose on the EPL during covid, admittedly this graph is now 3 years old, but we haven't withdrawn cash in that time either.
See us there with (0). That means that since we sacked 'Arry we have seen 0 pounds put into the club by owner Joe Lewis. But unlike the Glazers who take money out as the graph shows, our owners have also not done that either. So our unspent profit sits in the club accounts, which as of 2022 report was 283m pounds.
I have approached this debate with respect and civility and you're throwing around the idiot insult, earlier on it was fathead. A bit unnecessary.
FWIW you started by complaining about the non-football activities like concerts, go karts and NFL. These all contribute revenue to the accounts of THFC, not ENIC International or its parent company Tavistock group. Revenue that our accounts categorically can prove are not used to fund ENIC's real estate endeavours you speak of. Or any other of Joe Lewis' ventures.
They sit in the club accounts as unused funds, probably why unlike other clubs we aren't skimping this window worried about FFP issues.
What do you mean we aren't skimping?
We haven't even finished Harry's 100 million yet.
I know ENIC hasn't taken out money from the club. I know it's being reinvested into "The Club". You don't have to convince me of that. But it hasn't translate into Improvements to The Football Team. That is until this season. Tottenham Hotspur FC belongs to ENIC so if the value of the club increases, they get richer. They don't have to Take money out, cause unlike some of us, they don't need it.
But I'm tired of arguing with people like you that seems to get a Hard-on at the value of the club increasing to be The 9th most valuable FC in the world, and being happy with Eric Dier and Sanchez in the Heart of defence for 3 seasons. Two World class coaches speaking openly about the "Clubs" lack of Ambition and They get labeled as "Anti Football". But I guess The Stadium improvements, Hotels and apartments is reason to be Happier.
Levy realises his ship will sink if he doesn't back Ange. I'm Happy that our transfers are reasonably better but I still don't see the Football Team transfers increasing at a proportional rate to our income. I'm still praying Hard for LEVY OUT
Flange out?....
You reckon if we gave them some cash for Cunha it would help? Surely we could find 15m.
The main concern with Gallagher, in my humble opinion, is that he is Chelsea through and through. You cut him open, he bleeds blue. He's been there all his life, that's all he knows. I just don't see how he'd come to us and give his all, especially when we face them. There's just so much bad blood between the two clubs, so much history. As a Chelsea fan not just player, he has to hate our guts.
Bringing him in makes so little sense to me. Has to be tens of players out there with his skillset...and who would be cheaper.
Plus, let the chavy cunts pay for their FFP crimes.
