Spurs showing real force and ambition so far

They have been trying to do that for years and still finished below us this season.

have ambition damn you!

Are we running a bit slow?

The RS are making signings and Spurs are about overhaul there entire team (again), Man UTD are also splashing the cash...

Should we be concerned?

Do you think we should have tried to sign Wirtz ?

Spurs have sacked one manager and appointed another, nothing else.
We did that in January.

One started with very high expectations and sometimes didn't deliver but always felt destined for better things. The other started with low expectation and was written off, and has 'come good' and will likely not go much beyond our level.

It's about perspective.

In fairness Beto gets more than his fair share of abuse too and is a different character, gives the impression he bleeds blue whereas Lukaku was always going to be short term.

I know we're not drinking at the same trough the as those near the top (or indeed, near-bottom) of the table, but feel like we could do with a nice statement signing. If we bring in people like Fred and Coufal now, we're going to struggle to attract the likes of McAtee (he might be a pipe dream, but his ilk). Doesn't look very ambitious, does it? By all means, at the end of the window, when we need bodies, bring them in. But if we're serious about pushing on, now's the time to go for it.
Grealish would be an interesting one, for both parties. But his wage is just so far out of our league I can't see it happening. Surely he'd have suitors that would get closer to what he's earning than us? City won't fund half, he hasn't flopped that badly. And as much as we can say he could come to us for half of his wage for the love of the game or something, that isn't realistic.

Besides his wages, I think a move to us for Grealish would be fantastic for him.

To us maybe.

They are in the CL and are signing mid-table manager / player ?

From their fans perspective - they don't show nearly enough.

You’re right!

With Coufal, Fred and Vardy linked we should be aiming for 15th.

Hi Sean, how’s unemployment treating you?

Hi Sean, how’s unemployment treating you?

Ive just moved into a new house but there were problems before I got here so I’m doing some renovations. I’ve just discovered the unbelievable prices on offer at Selco! It’s where the trade go…

Lukaku, including his loan spent four seasons at Everton, that's a sizeable amount, criminal we didn't win at least a cup with that team.

24/25 Dominic Solanke £64m
23/24 Brennan Johnson £55m
James Maddison £46m
22/23 Richarlison £58m


They have bought a forward for around £60m the past 3 seasons and got progressively worse, they have had 3 other managers in that time. Who is to say this time wont be the same?
