Isnt Javi Martinez 41mil or something
It is a tad ridiculous that we haven't signed anybody yet nor really sold anyone either.
What's going on? Do we need to sell before we can buy? Are we waiting to see what's left after the bigger sharks have had their share? Have we already got deals in place but just waiting to announce them?
It's all quite strange especially when you consider the window is closing earlier this summer.

40m Euros I believe, works out to about £35.5m

Hope that guy didn’t choose the nickname kalopsia because of qotsa. Don’t want my favourite band being associated in my mind with such a daft person.
Bayern transfers policy is the best in world football. But with inflation they will have to start to spend more. And I wish the other German clubs all said fuck them and did not sell them another player again.
Get a grip. Where do I say we should sign just anyone. It was a self proclaimed ranty post to blow off some frustration.
Where do I claim to know more than the club.
I spend 99% of my time on here defending Levy or Poch and banging on about how “we’re in a tricky possition with the stadium finances” and “it’s not easy to find players to improve us on our budget and wage structure” etc etc.
But if we have reached a point where even I’m starting to get a little bit pissed off with our lack of movement then something isn’t quite right.
I’m well aware that our situation isn’t easy but I’m also pretty sure it’s not quite as hard as Levy makes it seem. I’m also aware that for the most part it all works out in the end and we tend to get it right on balance. Doesn’t make it any less frustrating in the moment tho.
But of course u know better than everyone else sooooo....
Announce some announcements you cunts
Friday, put it in your diary.
You mean sell to buy?
Also, I wouldn't say they have 'spunked' all the money on the new stadium. First of all the new stadium is beautiful, necessary and meant to last us for several generations. Certainly not money wasted.
Secondly, I'm sure our income stream should allow us to make some signings whilst paying for the new stadium.
Anyway, I guess there's no need to panic. Yet.
Friday 20 July 2018 has been in my diary since I bought the thing
There’s going to be some movement in the next 48 hours.....
All depends on what I have for dinner

Yes, sell to buy I meant. Ok, but what's the point of spending a lot of money building an amazing new house if you don't have enough money left to furnish it and enjoy life by having holidays etc? I think the new stadium's amazing but the novelty will wear off soon, especially if it becomes apparent we're only going to be competing to retain the Cockney Championship again but we're not gonna to be competing with the Northerners for the league.
One thing the last 60 pages have taught me, is that none of you fuckers work, or sleep. 
The only financial obligation Spurs currently have as it relates to paying for the stadium is the £400m loan from the middle of last year. That is (roughly) about £7.5m per month until June of 2022, or £90m a year. New matchday revenue and stadium sponsorship should come close to covering that entire amount, especially if the club were to remain in the CL and advance our of the group stage.
In other words, the stadium should more or less pay for itself and should not interfere with wages or transfer business to a significant degree.
