Breaking the £100m barrier?

[SpiderSpurs]

Not a chance.

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

I think we really have no other choice if we want to keep going

 

[superstaryid]

I’m not questioning you mate, your quoting incoming and out goings connected to players. I’m talking the profit we have made each year for 5 years that don’t include players sales. There is money, I suspect some was the down payment on the stadium but i’m sure the business plan included the potential of getting to this point.

Of course there is money but we are about to find out Enics true intentions with regards to how they use it.

 

[Macch]

Yes.

Levy has to spend to keep Poch happy. Without Poch, it will all fall apart

I know Levy is cheap but I think he even realizes this.

lol
i feel you- i want to believe too- but seriously- daniel. levy.

Daniel Levy is too smart not to realise how important Poch is to the project and the potential loss if he didnt receive the backing he deserves and walked.

We're also 'ahead' in the growing of our brand. There needs to be investment now to maintain the momentum.

 

[FightingIllini]

But do you seriously think Levy will do it? Be honest and realistic.

We did it in Summer 2013, breaking the club transfer record twice in the process.

The idea that Tottenham have not made aggressive transfer moves under Daniel Levy is a total myth.

Unless Toby and Eriksen re-sign (which would be ideal!), I don't see how we won't break the 100M barrier. Net spend is a different question.

It’s the market everything is overpriced. Either play the game or fall by the wayside

 

[_booga_]

I think we will on total purchases, but net spend will probably depend if sell Eriksen or not.

 

[rhenkt]

Poch won't walk this summer if we don't spend the money...he could never get a job again quitting under those circumstances. But certainly he could leave next year if a big club comes calling.

Also yes I think we will spend 100 million, but we will make at least 50 back on sales.

 

[Spursindevon]

About £8.50 and one of those subway vouchers for buy a 6inch get an upgrade to a foot long found down the back of the sofa

 

[Clynelish]

Anything less than £125m would be an absolute disgrace.

 

[StripiestPilot]

We earned a lot of unexpected money from the CL run but we will not be spending massive amounts. Expensive incoming signings will have to be funded by sales as they always are. Levy is not planning to spend £120m on Lo Celso and Ndombele while turning down £80m for Eriksen. Sell to buy is still the order of the day.

I want to believe we will. We have gaps to fill and 100m give us 2 max 3 players that improve us. It is how the market is

As for this spending thing, West Ham spent 105m last season, not that it done them much good but anyhow, they aren’t a top 6 side, they are not even a Europa league team, but spend 105m they can......
Surely, I mean surly we can outlay 100m and not go into administration???????

We could, but Daniel Levy is hell bent on winning that "most financially solvent football club ever" trophy.
I think Barron's or The Economist might start awarding it soon, thank goodness.

Well I really want to believe that will happen, but I will believe it when I see it.

I'm trying to convince myself to have faith.

Because like I said about the CL revenue, etc, I honestly don't think we have the excuse not to push on. Even the stadium can't be used as an excuse when it pays for itself through increased revenue.

We didnt really net spend that summer though. This is a different kettle of fish, and we'll probably be looking at 200m or more total spend if we end up spending 100m net.

 

[iz futbal]

That was on the back of windfall profits from the Bale sale. And it was only one time in like 12 seasons.
The record is poor. Do you really think we'll get even 80m for Eriksen this summer?
I honestly can't see it happening right now- RM already made their big signing. Barca are about to do so as well with Griezmann. Who seriously has the money and need to do that? We'll be lucky to spend 90m gbp total, much less 100...

80 million for a player with 1 year left on his contract is going to be hard to get unless theres someone really desperate for his services. I think we will probably accept around 60
