I think a Dembele replacement is the priority (assuming the rumours of his departure are true).

 

[nailsy]

Hercules has mentioned some of our targets before..... Sessegnon, Martial, De Ligt, two CMs. That's probably £150m right there.

 

[Dillspur]

Start believing what I stated, and not being politely cynical folks. The club KNOW they can’t cock up or Poch is gone! They are backing him with minimum 150m plus. If we don’t spend 170m minimum, I will donate 100 smackers to the bins of this forum!

Now enough please. START believing!...

Thanks as always for the info and you’re enthusiasm. While no one questions your info, I think we all worry that Levy is going to somehow screw things up so I’m trying not to get excited...

 

[spursfan77]

Spending money doesn’t guarantee anything so we need to get the signings right. The magnificent seven showed us that ?

Poch has said the same too, in his book. He also said the same thing last week. We need to spend big for first xi players now though so hopefully that is what is being alluded too. Either way, an exciting summer ahead.

A quality CM is a priority with or without Dembele. If Dembele leaves, we need 2 of them.

I’m just a bit scared as Poch doesn’t seem to want to confirm he’ll be here next season and when asked lately! ???

Your posts help me allay that fear a bit but my butt cheeks are still a bit clenched...

Literally Yesterday:
Asked Mauricio Pochettino if it was 99% certain that he’d still be Spurs manager next season. He said: “No, today it’s 100%”

I thought he’s said 100% today but can’t be sure of future in recent interviews?

 

[SpartanSpur]

Don't stop believin' SC.

Could be quite the Journey ahead of us.

Cheers @Hercules

Not that I think he'll leave but I took that as meaning he's 100% sure he'll be here today (as in that current day), maybe I'm wrong though.

I'm not worried about Poch leaving though unless we piss him off. I don't think he ever publicly commits himself to Spurs because he's said before if he does that and then Levy fires him he'll look like an idiot.

So what your saying is... We are the ones really in for Neymar. Well that's a turn up for the books.

It means, we will spend decent money (say 50-60m) on one player, and we certainly can match on wages outside of the the 2 clubs I mentioned. And I know at least 2 players we are trying to do deals on; if?! We were successful, it would fall into that bracket. Hopefully you get my drift?

Yup, and encouragingly, in areas where we clearly need to be looking

You know I just said, I'm trying not to get too excited, well bugger...

 

[dondo]

I agree, but if we really want to contend and lose the “nearly men” tags, we need proper investment in big time players and not a scatter gun approach on youth

Agreed we need to spend big to compete at the top but I’ll believe it when I see it tbh

Sure does sound like it's going to be a fun couple of months coming. Your a legend Herc, as always, thanks for the info. Even tho you crushed my 2 min long Neymar dream. I don't know if I will ever recover.

Love the info you bring to the forum mate, long may it continue. I pray you’re right

Herc, i'm loving this info, very many thanks.

 

[King of Otters]

Goes to show how important securing CL was for us. I doubt ol' Scrooge would be sanctioning this type of spend without it.

Sounds like exciting times ahead, thanks as always @Hercules for the insight, exceptional work!

Martial is the one I really want ?
