Last summer was acceptable on basis we kept all of our players. However it seems less likely this summer. Dembele gone, Wanyama seemingly unlikely ever to come back, Alderweireld can go if 25m offer comes in, Llorente and Vorm both at end of contract and unless Llorente suddenly improves not likely to be offered a new contract and Eriksen entering last year of contract.
This is ignoring the scare stories of our best players leaving. Therefore not buying would leave us with a ridiculously small squad and we therefore will be forced to buy. This is partly why I hope they get one player in now so we are not bedding in too many players next summer.
Whatever Poch wants to do at Spurs, he will not want to go into next season with a weaker squad than this season. That will be the crunch time.
People keep mentioning Sterling but what is his record in the development team? Is he scoring regularily? Asking too much for him to replace Llorente.
It never ceases to amaze me how some people get so little joy from following Spurs, why do they fucking bother if it makes them so fucking miserable...and why do they keep posting their shit in this thread?
Graham Roberts,Ossie Ardiles and Ledley Couldn't speak highly enough of him at the legends evening.
Got an insight into to him a bit last night.
Was there myself, all three were great and said he’s very happy here and has no reason to leave. He is running the whole club which he couldn’t do elsewhere. True.Graham Roberts,Ossie Ardiles and Ledley Couldn't speak highly enough of him at the legends evening.

Also couldn’t believe how funny Ossie was had me in stitches all night
Here's something to think about...remember when AVB broke the Spurs league points record? We are now 10 points ahead at the same stage....and we're seen as having a terrible season.
The only time I got my phone out was to film Ossies Dream, anyone who tells me the easiest and quickest way to upload it winsThis was the insght i mentioned in my post.Enjoyed hearing them words last night
Ossie was hilarious. I loved hearing Roberts say he would loved to have played against Mo Salah.
Ledley was an interesting bloke as well.Thought it was funny when he said his mate who was also at spurs was starting to fall out of love football and Ossie piped up "senoritas?"
Getting him to sing Ossie's dream just topped a great evening.

There are followers and there are supporters. There is quite a difference between the two.It never ceases to amaze me how some people get so little joy from following Spurs, why do they fucking bother if it makes them so fucking miserable...and why do they keep posting their shit in this thread?
Showdown talks imminent.Was there myself, all three were great and said he’s very happy here and has no reason to leave.
