For those that wish we had the likes of Sane, Sanchez, Hazard. We already have 2 of the finest attackers in the league...

Yeah. But Hazard, Sane, Mane and Sanchez all have pace on FIFA. Didn't you know that's what defines the value of a player?
 
If there is anyone on this forum or who classifies himself as a Spurs fan who would not, feelings aside want any of those 3 players, then they don't know their football.

Hazard and Sanchez are absolutely top grade and Sane getting there but still with a way to go yet.
Who cares? We can't get them so why talk about it?

Our front 4 are fantastic. Let's laud them rather than looking longingly at our neighbours lawn.

Perhaps you want to apply your forum name to our already fine squad of players.

Plenty of our competitors wish they could have Kane, Son, Dele and Eriksen in their squads. What is wrong with appreciating what we already have?
 
Poch's teams also always go on monster runs after the holidays. We don't need players to be better in the 2nd half of the season - that's never been a problem under Poch.

Where we need to improve under him is the first part of the year. Whatever is happening there is why we haven't won the past 2 titles.
Stop sending the squad to the other side of the world in the peak of pre-season would probably be a good start.

Perhaps less of a consistent single issue and more of a culmination of a number of issues across the different seasons.

But yes - burnout due to summer tournaments / postseason tours, Kane not hitting form for a few games, various injuries, getting over our issue with Wembley, not getting signings in early enough to give them a decent pre-season / before the season has started.

Have all factored in some way to slow starts over the last few years.

Some people won't want to hear it but i think the commercial aspect to these long ass tours of South East Asia / Australia / the US are worth their weight in gold. Gaining that level of exposure in such lucrative emerging markets and signings like Son makes good buisness sense and means we are less likely to suffer 10 years plus of limbo while we pay off the stadium.

It's the double edged sword of globalisation Vs losing local identity.
 
CCV would be behind Foyth. He's got no future here, he'll be loaned somewhere then sold in the Summer for 5m tops. MLS might be a good move him, with the American connection.
Baffles me how any Tottenham fan can have this attitude. It's crazy how so many players are being written off just because they aren't superstars by the age of 18. CCV has been a mainstay in a Sheffield United side fighting for promotion this season and has done very well for himself

I don't think many consider NW a fan. He's just here because his Mrs left him for someone that looks like Lamela...
