You're right we should have just bit the bullet and put the £130m down on Osimhen.
I have no idea but how do you know?
Same people that screamed that buying a squad player, Trossard, for £27m was ‘backing the manager’ suggest that getting Werner, at least an equal player for less, isn’t backing the manager.
SMFH at some of the fans on here.

Seems to be a pattern emerging where most people are getting themselves excited not because of the great attacking quality he'll bring to the team.....oh no......but because he's a low financial risk.
I swear this could only happen with our fanbase
You have to ask?
They are just above the relegation zone and he is probably their best defender who plays every game.
How much dough would it cost to replace him? How much will they lose if they get relegated?
John Thomas is the main attraction on TottenhamFanTV.Seems to be a pattern emerging where most people are getting themselves excited not because of the great attacking quality he'll bring to the team.....oh no......but because he's a low financial risk.

Yet with Romero injured, Davies injured, VdV only just back, Dier leaving, Sanchez left, we still haven't actually signed a CB.
They're legally required in Spain, but can be put in a players contract anywhere. The clubs pick a wild number but there's not a requirement for it to be met. Like, say they think someone is gonna be the next Messi, they might put £500m in. But if tje guy turns out to be a donkey, they'll let him go for whatever they want.
On the contrary, if he is the next Messi and they don't want to sell, they have no choice if someone deposited the cash.
We don't even have icing most of the time let alone bloody cherries.
They need money. They are owned by 777 that want to buy Everton and those guys are in big trouble financially.
They can pick up another CB as long as this deal is done in the next day or so.
OK can we agree neither are truly backing a manager?
Fucking Levy Faboi bollocks is what it is.Seems to be a pattern emerging where most people are getting themselves excited not because of the great attacking quality he'll bring to the team.....oh no......but because he's a low financial risk.

Sick of them, the lot of them.
"We never take risks, you'll never sing that"
Is what they all sing to themselves at home cause they sure as shit ain't the ones dragging themselves to games every week.
If you have to ask, then pipe down.
Most recent "loans for average players":
Romero
Kulu
Porro
...........Another player you clearly know fuck all about.
Our captain is a golden boot winner, you utter blow-hard.
Werner definitely might end up a better signing than Trossard.
Every single fan base and pundit likes to talk about the financials of deals.
Not every signing is a starting 11 star to get picked every week.
If people are seeing the sense in this specific signing, for a player to perform this specific role whilst Son is away, I don't really get why that would bother you.
If we were signing Werner as our first choice star forward in the summer and only getting a loan with option.... Then I could see where you are coming from.
Say to you what I said to the other poster.
Let’s take a rain check until February 1st and if the other teams around the top four looking for reinforcements all fill out their squads with Oshimen-like players then mea culpa.
OK fair enough.
If our biggest rivals go ahead and strengthen in a big way and we haven't, I hope there will be some acknowledgement from fans that prefer to stick to the silver lining every window
Last example was declan rice.....
"He's not worth it".
It's like being gaslighted every season by a controlling partner that insists everything is fine
I won’t lie. I like Rice and seeing him down the road sticks in my throat.
Having said that, Maddison is just as influential a signing at less than half the price.
From what I hear he's done very well, one of their best players.
Maddison pre injury was more influential than Rice
