I have little doubt that we will. Of course, the likes of you, with your scratch 'n' sniff knowledge of footy, won't know he's a marquee signing until Poch works his magic and the player ends up being worth twice whatever we pay for him, within a couple of seasons. We're Spurs. That's what we do, Pix.
If you're buying a player that pooch then has to develop, he's not a marquee signing is he ? Jeez HIAG do I have to explain every little detail about football to you ?
I think even the Spurs fans will agree that Wilshere is a phenomenal talent. If he wasn't so injury prone he'd be playing at the likes of Madrid and Barcelona by now.
I don't rate him. He played well for one season imo. He was **** at Bournemouth even when fully fit. Barca or Madrid
He played well in Arsenal's first team when he was 18 ffs. He then missed the entirety of the following season due to injuries. He wasn't fully fit for Bournemouth either but I'm not saying that he's still got "it" nor will he ever get "it" back. Just that had he continued his development at Arsenal as a teenager he'd be up there as one of the best in the world by now.
Exactly. But this is HIAG we're dealing with here. So you have to make allowances for his complete lack of knowledge.
Kante arguably was for us. Off the top of my head, I think he was our most expensive midfielder ever.
Gary Neville on Chelsea: "Costa has not left yet, but they are going to lose him, they have lost Matic, they have lost John Terry - if you think Costa, Matic and Terry are going out of a changing room, that takes some replacing. In character, experience, but also in performance". Absolutely nailed it.
I'd say there's more to marquee than just the fee, especially when that fee is so small in Kante's case. You were a PL club spending £7m on a player, that's not a big deal really, it hasn't been for probably 15 years.
I would say that the only thing wounded here is your dignity. But you gave that up a long time ago on here
But we'd barely been a PL club for the last 15 years. I honestly think some people forget what we were like in the summer 15/16. Bookies had us to finish 17th
Ok so if Kante turned out to be crap would you acknowledge him as a marquee signing based on purely a £7m price tag?
