Yep. Unlike Arsenal after they built their new stadium, Spurs are not going to be particularly hamstrung financially by stadium-related debt servicing.

Couple this with income that's likely to further rise substantially (and we already now have a bigger income than that of Juventus), the age of austerity for Spurs is drawing to a close in terms of spending on the squad.

Could very well be but i'd hold on a bit before being so sure about that. Around 20m/year might not look much right now but big decision time and a squad refresh is coming to Spurs. Kane and Pochettino will have to make up their mind and a lot of important positions, GK, CBs, #10 will need filling this summer.

CB, yes, #10 yes (although honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we switched it up a bit, not many teams play with a designated number 10 these days) but why goalkeeper? Lloris is still going pretty strong, having a good season thus far.

He's not perfect and he's had a few seriously poor patches of form, but I don't see any keepers around which could come in and be an instant upgrade now. He's only 32 which isn't that old for a keeper and I'd not be surprised at all if he was still our first choice for a few seasons yet.

I thought you were one of the Spurs fans wanting Lloris to be replaced by Gazzaniga?

:lol:

No I thought Gazzaniga should have come in while Lloris was in poor form, because he deserved a shot. Long term, Gazzaniga isn't good enough.

Lloris was really bad for good parts of last season, but he improved towards the end and has started this one well. See no reason to think we need to urgently replace him at this current moment in time.

I'm not a huge Lloris fan, but what keeper do we go for that's the proven deal? Chelsea broke a record and I wouldn't say the Kepa of now is much better than Lloris, if at all. It's hard to find a top class player in that position.

About moving to Man Utd and Real M respectively.
Yeah Kane has to have a real think about moving from one club which is struggling to move on from being consistently top 4, to another which is struggling to actually get in the top 4.

:houllier:

I'm not trying to stir shit up but as much as they "love" Spurs they must be thinking about it. Slots are going to open up at Real, Barca, PSG and even City in the striking and managing department. If Kane starts giving cryptic interviews this season, it will be on and the moneybags will fly to his doorstep. I'm not saying it's all downhill from here but you have to be cautious.

Rumours of a gangbang being held at the stadium, 7 cocks and no cups.

I wonder how many Spurs fans stayed behind to enjoy the facilities after the game? After all, it's more than just a stadium.

More holes in their defence last night than Swiss Cheese, once Bayern turned up the heat they just melted away into a soft creamy goop. They were then sent to the Cheese Room as there was a fondue party booked for that night.

Their record here must be pretty darn poor for a home stadium so far. It’s just such an ugly stadium in my opinion, grey and vapid.
Yep! It's as generic as can be, too. It hurts when I see United fans seemingly jealous when we have Old Trafford. It may be old, but I love it's unique look and the fact that it looks old adds a charm to it that not many stadiums have.

Has anyone been to Spurs' stadium here? I haven't, but my brother did when he was back in Manchester visiting from Seoul and wasn't impressed.

Pochetinno’s wife: Darling wake up, it’s 8.
Pochetinno:What????!!! Bayern scored again?!
