200k for Kane and N'Dombele (and offered to Eriksen) is pretty high.

Think you quoted the wrong person.

I have read your posts and you always think doom is coming and all our problems are caused simply by us not spending enough money.

we missed the biggest opportunity to win a championship since 85 in building that stadium and the related Infrastructure , we will lose 3 key members of squad due to wages.

I agree. There was a time when we were praised for our transfer strategy.

We bought players like Carrick, Bale, Berbatov and Modric, helped develop them and get several good seasons out of them then sell at a profit and reinvest.

Whatever our transfer setup is at the moment it is not the best.

our recent transfer policy has been to not buy any players. its going to take more than one window to sort that out. I think most people realized while it was happening we were getting thin but looking at it now its a bit mind-boggling. with or without Poch its going to be painful for a while.

Lol, if you genuinely are unaware that we offered Eriksen and Alderweireld high wages and if you genuinely believe wages are all that is needed to make players not want to move to the truly elite clubs.

No offence intended but I don’t think you are intelligent enough to have a conversation with.

Do you actually believe that we went into that summer window intending to not buy anyone?! Even though de Jong has said he turned us down? Even though Grealish had basically packed his bags (popular signing that would have been)? Christ on a bike.

no, I believe we actually didnt buy anyone for a year and a half before this summer. if our policy was to add to the roster in that time frame we executed it miserably.

Fine, but what you wrote was that it was policy to not buy anyone, which means that it would have been planned that way. There is no chance that was the case.

yeah I was a tad glib but the bigger point is we're screwed for a while.

The chickens are coming home to Roost, I cant understand why players would want to leave the greatest Training ground, Sainburys and the stadium.
Oh they can get paid double else where.

What an inane statement.

Actually, that’s exactly the time sugar daddy’s buy clubs. Look at Chelsea, Rom got them much cheaper than he would have been able to get us because they were in financial mess. Abu Dhabi got City cheap and with a brand new stadium gifted to them by the city of Manchester.

The massive problem is that anybody interested in buying us now will want to do it for a business investment. No sugar daddy is gonna put £1bn in to buy us and then another £500m to beef up the squad and wages.

Exactly - it's all about the ROI. The only types that would be willing and able to buy us would be the same types who bought Man City and PSG who would want to use us to polish their images on the world stage.

No, I doubt they would. The hallmark of the takeovers of City, PSG, Chelsea was that they were able to buy the clubs cheaply and pour all their resources into making them powerful.

Whoever owns us next will need to pay over a billion before they get started. To me, it makes it far more likely to be another investor who sees it as a long term business venture.

I reckon they still might be willing to take a punt if it meant they could lord it up around the world painting themselves as patrons of sport rather than despots.

That said, I don't see anyone shelling out for Spurs if I'm being honest - it's just too much money. What's the return on investment for them?

I don't see the problem. We have a great squad, jam-packed with young talent, probably the best stadium in the world. What we don't have is a manager who is getting the most out of our raft of international players.

Exactly what I see

They will leverage wages/transfers up to our new financials but they don’t pick the team or make those subs. No one can blame them for Tuesday or Aurier ffs.

I will be the first to criticise (see posts) but let’s be fair about this all.

Fact is Poch must be doing better.

A coach like Allegri could also change Eriksen’s mind I think, too

 

[Graysonti]

My honest opinion with major infrastructure done, they will turn attention to the team.

Has this part of the club been a bit neglected last couple of years ? Possibly - but then you don’t build £1bn stadiums every other year.

My guess is they will now turn to the team - obviously not Man C levels of investment but ‘enough’ in a sensible world and with proper management. Time will tell.
