GwladysBlue
Player Valuation: £70m
Right now, we're like what Spurs used to be. Throwing huge sums of money around on average players.
4 years ago spurs had a team made up of Kaboul, Huddleston, Parker, Dawson.
Last year we had a team that included Cleverly, Kone, McGeady
Things don’t happen over night and comparing a steadily progressing Spurs (4 years in the making) to us is as laughable as it gets
Spurs have an elite manager and a world class striker. We sold ours.

That @Nymzee fellow won't like you pointing that simple truism out, Tim.
He sticks his fingers in his ears when anyone plays that "broken record"![]()
It's not that mate it's just we know we sold Lukaku, we know he was good, we know we haven't replaced him. We knew this 2 months ago so why do people keep bringing it up like it's something we can change in October? No one brings up us selling Stones anymore do they.

)Just because you don't want to hear it does not mean people will stop saying it.
We are entitled to vent, wether it suits you or not.
It was a ridiculous decision and I cannot understand how it does not infuriate you the way it does most Evertonians, both here on GOT and at the match this afternoon.
The want of a striker is the main reason we find ourselves in our current malaise.
And it was totally avoidable.
(though if there is a God up there, Oumar will blossom over the coming months)
Just this. Yeah we didn’t bring in a striker and we sold Lukaku for £75m. Can’t change any of that now so it’s irrelevant. Change the record now, it’s getting boring.I just wish people would stop saying it because it's utterly pointless now that the window has closed.
Long as we dont use spuds as a blueprint on how to win anything....yes we need things to change of course, but the eternal bottlers???? Nah dont think soKane and Lukaku situations very different but I agree we should be using Spurs as a blueprint on how to establish top 6
All true but Spurs have got into this position over several years. We are closer to the period in which they sold Bale and spent the sum on 4 or 5 players who never replaced him.
The worrying thing is that could be applied to Burnley and any number of middle to lower sides as well.They're clearly a better team than us but one of the biggest differences for me is everything they do goes forward. They rarely go backwards with passes, every player (including centre halves) looks up and looks for a positive pass. Watched their game yesterday and they are miles ahead of us from that perspective.
