We clearly not going to agree but this is the first year without Europe for years and as most of the first teamers did not play in the League cup and possibly not play in the F A Cup they will only play 38 matches maximum which is lower than previous years with CL.Top 4 guarantees the funds and CL football to strengthen the squad. Sure maybe Levy doesn't spend it if we have it (he has previous). But he's certainly not going to spend it if we don't have it (in fact he'll use that as the excuse).
This season without europe is good to go all out in the league with this thin squad. If we go all out in domestic cups we undo that advantage.
Again it comes down to direction. Ange isn't concerned about the "when did Spurs last win a trophy" banter and neither am I - cos we're building something bigger. The time to go all out on trophies was with Jose and Conte and that failed.
This squad is not thinner than last season and yes we have lost Kane but he is the only significant loss. He wanted a trophy and may not have left had he got one. What do you mean go all out for the League? We are not going to win it and as I said Top 4 again is just money. This side is not a patch on the Poch side at it's peak but could win a cup.
I am of an age that has seen many cup victories and they are my best memories. I no longer have any chance of seeing a Cup Final live as I have done in the past but a win will give me greater pleasure than top 4 which is far from certain anyway.
