Thing is that should be the expectation every season from every club entering the competition.

Yes, we’ve kept the best manager and striker in the league at the club and that’s fantastic but we still appear to be bottom feeding in terms of our recruitment.

All this blood and thunder is very impressive on paper but the proof is in the pudding.

I interpreted Val's post as being a response to the tenor of the discussion about hertyid's latest. There's been a lot of handwringing about our current targets (Grealish in particular) not showing real ambition.

I think what Val is trying to get across is that the scope of our ambition will be revealed over time as we build up, not that an announcement is imminent.
Val has winnered this post, FWIW.

Between that, hertyid's latest, and Trix's post in the Grealish thread just now (to the effect that the names of our top targets may not be out there yet) I think we can rest assured that we do have the ambition to bring in some top players in this window, even if there isn't an indication as to who they are as yet.

Maybe wait till the end of the window to see who we get?

People give Yankspurs grief because he’s not the full ticket and then proceed to make exactly the same guesses to ‘building up’ as they did the first time Val said it.

The correct expression is « light’s on but nobody’s home »

Comon a&c if we can't speculate about that then the thread would be empty today.

Seems to be a general feeling that I don't quite understand.

I get ValYids sentiment of "building up" as you have to keep the loons on a leash... But how can we improve on a 6 year contract for Harry?! Impossible!

That contract is better, more important and a bigger "statement" than any signing ever will be!

Harry Kane is the best player in the world that will play for Spurs in our current form.

It doesn't get better than that.

I’m excited as building up from Kane can’t be Eriksen and Dele, Kane is the best contract.

It could just be youth contracts-Pochettino-key first teamers-new signings, so we're in stage 3 of 4.

Or, following on from Kane, early next week we'll get a video of Alli + Eriksen in one of the new stadium's restaurants, eating lunch and discussing their new deals.

And then Talksport etc can talk about how 5 year deals rather than 6 will mean they're already planning their escapes...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you’re a genuine, bi-polar fruitcake with a penchant for massive overreaction and painting football chants onto the upturned buttocks of Bulgarian peasants in Latin.

@Archibald&Crooks

Just a thought but a lot of the spam and pointless guessing in these threads originates from people looking for cryptics where no cryptic exists. While this can be amusing at times, perhaps when we have a bit of ITK that isn't a cryptic and you don't want to spend your valuable sex dungeon time cleaning up the thread, it would be sage to indicate that the ITK post in question was never intended to be a cryptic. Maybe just have the original ITK post in a different coloured text for cryptics & non-cryptics.
