If it's true we look like we're not buying any, I say shut the doors and don't sell anyone either. Keep what we have.
There will be outgoings to Europe or beyond after our window has closed. Janssen, Edwards and GKN for sure.
"It is so difficult now, only four hours to the end. Until the game finishes you can’t say it is the end of the game but in four hours it will be difficult to sign players." MP Pack it up lads, nothing's happening.
Wanyama (knee), Lamela (unspecified muscle), Foyth (thigh), CCV (groin) all out of Newcastle. Onomah & Winks are starting to join training but won't be ready. WC players need to be assessed. - MP Where did I put the shin pads?
Our chairman has clearly been too pre-occupied trying to get the stadium built on time. Should have delegated this summers transfer dealings to someone else. Looking a bit stupid right now. I'm resigned to us not signing anyone now. But if that's the case, I say keep Toby and DoF - no matter what. If we strengthen our rivals, I will be mightily unimpressed.
Add to that: 1. Dembele - getting older and losing form by the week. 2. Dier - generally going backwards MF options, generally ****. Winks - you're our only hope!
If no one has signed come 5pm, I'll see you all in the Sky Bar... Oh wait, ****.... it's not ready yet is it. ****!!
This is the most sensible analysis of the situation I've heard. None of this nonsense about us being genuinely happy with signing no-one. A combination of the stadium, world cup and early window have left him with too much to do with too little time to do it in. I sympathise with Levy. He has a workload that would probably kill most people. But this is precisely why Poch asked for targets to be identified and pursued as soon as the window opened.
"I am happy to keep all the squad together, there were many rumours during the summer about players out," the Spurs boss said. "The club made a massive effort to try and extend contracts of Harry Kane, just one example. The club is trying to finish the stadium as soon as possible. "It is difficult to understand for people in football that Tottenham didn’t sign or didn’t sell players but sometimes in football, you need to behave different. "We are happy with our squad and we cannot improve our squad. It is better to keep our squad all together, we believe a lot in our players." - MP That more or less confirms it. No-one in. No-one out.
Several posters have spoken about us having zero spend (when sales are taken into account) so I have got figures from 2001/02 When Enic took over spurs. 01/02 £25.25m spent £8.78m in 02/03 £9.45m spent £1.22m in 03/04 £26.78m spent £1.58m in 04/05 £42.41m spent £9.45m in 05/06 £32.86m spent £20.39m in 06/07 £54.90m spent £34.79m in 07/08 £84.74m spent £20.30m in 08/09 £128.21m spent £79.25m in 09/10 £36.27m spent £28.53m in 10/11 £23.94m spent £2.64m in 11/12 £8.51m spent £38.93m in 12/13 £65.93m spent £61m in 13/14 £109.69m spent £121.88m in 14/15 £43.62m spent £39.74m in 15/16 £63.90 spent £78.82m in 16/17 £75.24m spent £47.07m in 17/18 £109.35 spent £93.42m in Spurs have spent a total of £941m raised £687.79m in sales We have spent more than we have raised 14 times out of the Figures from https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/alletransfers/verein/148 If we ain't bought it is because there is no one Pochetinno wants and who is available or affordable in my opinion.
I'm not interested in the ancient history. I'm interested in what we've done for THIS team. I'd argue this team started when Bale left. In that time period: Spent: £401 In: £380 We speculated £20m in FIVE YEARS. That is utterly laughable compared to the teams we're up against, and this window it's even worse (so far)
