No new signings yet no sign of confidence from the chairman on his team. Surely they deserve a fat bonus system or something. You can't be serious there is a major pay differential and I said it last year. When longhand is on 120 a week and aldereweild is on 50 then clearly the pay system is pushing the performers out and nothing else. My sympathy is lacking for Rose who signed a deal last summer. Alderweireld is a different situation and he should have parity with the top earners being offered this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West ham players are earning more strewth I bet some championship lads are on more than half your team. That youth policy which enabled smaller wage scales has passed his sell by date with your team.

Delli was our game changing match winner. Good start. I see everything coming together at last. Quality manager. Extensive back room set up. Ground development. Good players. Sound finances. Alli was the best player outside the EPL the year before going to Spurs. Good for them to have gotten him. There are others that Spurs should be looking at too. (They probably are!!) Pundits are also talking about Spurs games as being the most eagerly waited. For years, back in the 1960s, the biggest game of the season was Spurs v Man Utd. As for Newcastle; a second string outfit for many years. Edited August 14, 2017 by owl sees all added more content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 How times have changed. I started watching Spurs the year before 'the double' year. The year they got the double they only used 16 (if I recall correctly) players for a long season. You could put money on knowing the same team week in and week out. Tactical changes were unheard of. The only time regulars did not play was due to injury. The other top teams were probably similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 A whole lot of rumours abound about our potential signings. Seems likely we are strengthening our defence overall.

Sit back and relax, this is going to be a very good window for us. Sanchez, Barkley plus another. Forget all the media nonsense, we've just been letting the madness finish. Its called being prudent rather than just throwing stupid money at a situation. Alderweirald has two years left but one way or tother i very much doubt if Levy will let it run down much further. If we lose the best center back in the league we lose him, end off. Its not as if we are going to leave ourselves without quality cover as viewers saw in the emergence of Walker-Peters last sunday. We have a settles starting eleven and with Winks, Lamela and hopefully Rose back soon were looking good. Hopefully the media will start bleating on about the others as per usual and forget about us.....did you know were taken 42 out of a possible 45 league points available! Proper bottle jobs we are!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wouldn't be over concerned if we brought no one in given the quality of youngsters knocking on the door to be honest but for a run at 3 or 4 trophies we do need more quality on our bench at times.

sotsira Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) We don't have enough depth in the squad to compete on all fronts we need at least 3-4 additions without letting anyone else go. For me a good window would mean bringing in :- Ryan Sessegnon Davinson Sanchez Ross Barkley Total cost approx £100M Danny Rose can F/O up north next season once Sessegnon has settled.

Precisely, that would represent an excellent window. All deals that can be done too what with the 70m we've already recouped. Now that Gylfi's off to Everton the Barkley deal can finalize. The Sanchez deal is almost there and i'm sure Fulham will eventually back down over Sessignon. All quality players that will surely develop under Poch. Those deals will be made up with add ons so thats not a problem. We suffered bad injury set backs last season but still made it through. These signings, coupled with Lamela and Rose (if he isn't sold) back from long term lay offs will properly beef up the squad. We'd be looking very very good and i'm not that worried about the striker situation because we have Son to step in if needed. Funny but Danny Rose seems to have forgotten he was nothing more than a very average left back until Pochettino turned up. When i've had the opportunity to see Sessignon its clear he has far more natural ability and has the making of a superb player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
