Thank for the ITK guys. I suppose that the CL is not the pull that everyone thinks it is for players. Perhaps the new stadium will help.

I would rather a player wants to come to us cos we are Spurs, not where the stadium is the deciding factor.

Interesting debate guys re why no top stars want to join us despite champions league and new stadium and poch....I put it to you one main factor, wages!
We simply don’t pay top dollar and won’t pay top dollar even with the new stadium, it will be better than it has been but levy does not sanction excessive wages.
I really do believe this is why we cannot get people like rabiot, de jong etc

Why did aguero join Man City? Why did drogba join Chelsea? Etc
Neither Chelsea or city had any great history until their mega rich owners transformed the clubs and their wage structures. The media immediately said these would be super clubs, agents believed this, saw the wages and convinced their super stars to jon previously tin pot history clubs...the rest is history.

Unless Daniel levy changes our wage structure dramatically, the new stadium will not change this material factor that drives where the top players go.
Well i think that's just the point!
Imo its nothing to do with stadium etc but all to do with money.
Levy will not change the wage structure coz that's not shrewd business for him and Spurs long-term.
I do believe that we can get the right players at the right price.
Players who dont want us should move along...
There must be a few wanting to play for poch and us
