Spurs rarely make good signings though. They’d spunk the money on 2-3 flops. Just look at how much was wasted on Ndombele, Lo Celso & Richarlison. Also Davinson Sanchez cost £40million and has steadily got worse.

I still fear that Spurs will sign Harry Maguire
Pretty much every fanbase say the same things, but what about Modric, Van Der Vaart, Bale, Erikson, Son?

Pau Torres to Aston Villa. Wow. They're going to be a force this coming season. He could play for City, PSG or Bayern. No problem.

Yeah class signing. Surprising move but a great one for Villa if it goes through. Emery and Monchi ain’t ****ing about.

Reminds me of when Spurs signed Lineker cos they wanted him to link up with Waddle.

Then Spurs sold Waddle and didn't win a thing.
Apart from winning the 1991 fa cup with Lineker missing a penalty and having a goal wrong lynnhoug-0 ruled out for offside you make a great point <laugh>

He's the real deal. He's shown that for West Ham and for England, and he's still only 24. It's the right time for him to make the step up to a bigger club, but if I'm honest I never thought we'd get him because I thought he'd always end up at either Utd or City.

The fee is astronomical, but like Arteta said, you have to pay over the odds for top quality, so I think it's a deal that fans of both clubs will be happy with. His price tag will be mentioned endlessly by Spurs fans and fans of direct footballing rivals, but that's coz they are ****ting themselves as what he can do for us <laugh>
Check out 1:52. £105m <laugh>

First three were over 10 years ago, Eriksen was 2013 and Son was signed in 2015. From 2008-2015 Spurs signed some really good players but since then it’s been mainly brutal expensive signings

So what you gonna do, not sign any players ever again? Rely solely on academy players?
You just need to give a swift kick up the arse to whoever is in charge of your recruiting, or better still, replace them.
Dont talk to me about gash signings! Especially when it comes to replacing strikers.
Chelsea are the kings of ****e striker signings, with players who either stink the place out, get perenially injured, or in one case, end up being coke heads, look at Casiraghi, Sutton, Kezman, Mutu, Shevchenko, Torres, Morata, Lukaku. All for big money too.

We've had a couple of gems in there over the years in Drogba and Costa, but our hit and miss score is weighted heavily in favour of "MISS"

And look at the periods where we were dominant, 2004-2012 with Drogba, and 2014-2017 with Costa.
Direct correlation there!

Easy really mate ... last season we made no signings and Brenda made the bloke running his contract down to leave on a free, captain ... was only going to end in one way ... admittedly I still thought we'd have enough to avoid relegation ...

This season we've shifted out the big time Charlie's and are bringing in players with a point to prove (mostly younger) ... a principle over the last decade that has served us well ...

The fan base was the footballing equivalent of clinically depressed this time last season ... in marked contrast there is now a bit of a buzz about the place again ...
You made 2 signings in the summer actually though one i've never heard of and the other was **** in every sense

PS Winks £10m and Coady £7.5m <laugh>

A third choice back-up goalie ... and Faes after we'd sold Fofana ...

Faes had a tough baptism for sure ... but he'd made the full Belgium team before we signed him and has stayed in it ... but you'll know much better than the Belgian coaches for sure <ok>

For me, he reminds me of Soyuncu ... who had a calamitous first season before settling in and then being terrific, culminating in being a key part of the FA Cup winning team ...
