We shall buy a left sided forward, and some of those 'for sale' as alluded to by the Goat, will help pay for him.
By the way @A&C referred to a Billygoat. How do we know that it's not a Nannygoat?
They can all go to QPR, problem solved.Try thinking about it from a more holistic view, ie the players side.
Rather than looking inwards from outside as us fans always would, looking at the club, you need to remember these players it's their livelyhoods at stake here.
I know they are on ridiculous money, so the problems you and I would face don't really compare, but players rely on contracts and a certain salary.
Put that to run of the mill Joe - or me for example. I'm doing reasonably well in my particular industry, I work for a decent paying company, the company perform well, and I am getting some industry recognition - nothing spectacular, but moving onwards and upwards in the world.
I hear that the new boss doesn't like me that much, or feels that I'm not right for the business vision.
What do I do, just jump ship to a shit company on less money, even shorter contract, or fight it out, believe in myself to show the new boss that I am right, I'm happy with my current package, I like where I live, my wife and kids are settled in the area and the school's great...
Now apply that to the footballers - who all have the same problems (just on a very, very different scale).

Big long expensive contract, no moving costs.
WHY IS HARRY NOT BUYING ALL OUR CAST OFFS?
[don't answer!]
Did he have the options to rotate with at Soton though? Clearly he has more to play with at Spurs. Also when he first signed he did mention (repeatedly) that he is aware that we are a 'big club' and that he knows that 'certain things are expected of him'. Seeing as we compete on comparatively more fronts than Soton did, that we have the players to rotate with, and that the level of competition he faces with us is that much higher, I think that the whole 'not rotating' story is a pile of horse sh*te (excuse my French).Sorry dudes, started a post and then got called away, phone went in poc jet and left testicle pushed the post button.
Point was I'm not sure how good this will be to squad harmony. We heard stories from Pochettino's Southampton days that he doesn't tend to rotate much and with such a bloated squad, a number of which know they are on the out list, it could be a recipe for mass discontent in the dressing room.

This makes sense but at the end of the day they're just playing footballTry thinking about it from a more holistic view, ie the players side.

Turn around slowly. Now grab your ankles.
And now you know for sure....
Nuff said.Kaboul was almost part of the Sunderland squad when Keane was in charge, but was the odd man out when team-mates Steed Malbranque, Teemu Tainio and Pascal Chimbonda moved from Spurs two years ago.
Kaboul stayed at White Hart Lane after clashing with chairman Daniel Levy.
“He wanted to treat us like a cow,” said Kaboul. “I said to him, ‘I have a personality and a mind of my own, I am not a dog’. He said I was going to Sunderland, but I said, ‘I go where I want, not where you want me to go’. Sunderland are a decent club but I do not like people imposing anything on me, like you are a dog. Life is not like this.”

The Goat isn't always me you know.Aha. I might know for sure what I am - but what about the SC Goat (aka A&C?)?

Well thanks a lot you ****'s! You've just ruined the magicThe Goat isn't always me you know.
It's like having a conversation with my wife.
She has something to say, but just keeps me going along with the 'tell me whats wrong babe'....
Then when she does tell me, it's shit and I wish I hadn't bothered asking.
So, I'm not going to ask, you tease.
The Goat isn't always me you know.
