That would be great if you could trust Levy to buy a replacement for Aurier. Reality is Levy would probably sell him and present Tanganga as his replacement.
Hard to disagree with that. Lamela's been a great pro but he's practically guaranteed to miss at least half of the season through injury (funnily enough he averages about 19 league appearances per season) and while he does get the odd goal and assist, is that really enough? Also, for all of his harrying and pressing I've always felt he gives away far too many needless fouls that put us under pressure.
I'm all for splashing the cash but I really don't think throwing it at players like Piatek is the way to go. There are big question marks over him and I can't think of many better times to opt for a loan (preferably with an option) rather than buying outright.
Its not opting not to throw the money at Piatek that people are questioning. It's more of the fact that Levy is apparently acting like we're skint when the club play in the richest league in the world, the top continental competition in the world, is in the top 10 wealthiest clubs in Europe and just refinanced the stadium over a 30 year period so that we would have money to spend. So the question is, where is the money going? Its not being invested in football and it isnt being put toward paying the stadium.
Yeah, I think too many fans (especially on twitter, etc) are getting far too excited over the prospect of a new shiny signing, especially given how desperate we are for a striker. However, given how hard we've found it to shift our deadwood in recent years, the last thing we want is an expensive dud on our books that we can't shift.
I think one of the other reasons may be that clubs know we are rich so are trying to hold us over a barrel - as I think Herc or trix mentioned.
Just makes you wonder if this will be a new trend, and is an unintended consequence of the increasingly higher and higher transfer fees. Along with players signing shorter term contracts. Otherwise you end up like a Zaha situation. Sign long contract, and then realize that PL teams don't really sell their prize assets to other PL teams unless they are willing to pay a king's ransom.

Milan, Tottenham insists on Piatek: distance on the purchase formula
The Tottenham insists Piatek, the British company does not let go of it for the Milan striker , who is finding less and less space in the league. The arrival of Ibra and the Leao solution have effectively cut him out of the starting lineup, which is why in recent days the player's agents have met Milan to look for a solution.
Tottenham would like to take him to England to stop the emergency related to Kane's injury . Contacts are continuous, but at the moment there is distance between the two companies . The English club, in fact, would like Piatek on loan, a formula however not appreciated by the Rossoneri.
