But under those same rules he’s still miles behind what City, ourselves and Chelsea‘s spending, there’s no way around it. He had to sell to buy and the squad he left is 10 times that he inherited that’s been my whole point I don’t even know what...
Well that's my whole point. He sold 300m worth of players and they we're all 'shite' hence the Spurs squad when he took over was crap and he had no right challenging for the top trophies.
Of course its relevant if he had to sell to buy. If he spent 400m and was able to add it to his squad of players without selling then he'd still have the likes of Walker making them a much better team.
Not all his transfers we're a success...
What are you talking about? 'moving the goalposts'?
He had to sell players to bring in new ones? Spurs we're building a new stadium and couldn't compete otherwise. He sold the likes of Townsend, Paulinho, Soldado, Capoue, Siggurdsson and Sandro...
I was just using random players he sold to build a budget for the players he brought in, I wasn’t trying to pinpoint player for player replacements. Obviously Paulinho is a midfielder and Son a winger, I didn’t think I needed to explain that...
Yeah and probably sold 300m+ worth of players, his net spend compared to the ‘top clubs’ was nowhere near. He was selling the likes of Paulinho and Wimmer to replace them with Alderweirald and Son.
Errrm, yeah?
Spurs had one top 4 finish in the PL era before Poch and he had a basic budget, in what world should he be challenging City, United and Chelsea to titles?
Dele just joined from Mk Dons
Kane returned from multiple mediocre loan...
They had qualified for the CL once in their history before Poch and that was due to a Ronaldo-esque season from Bale who carried them to 4th. His budget was next to nothing in comparison with others, whilst Poch was buying Dele from MK Dons for...
Not for Spurs though in the state they were in when he took over. Bottom half of the table with a god awful squad. I cba going into all the details but just research the team Poch inherited at Spurs, they had no right up against Chelsea, City and...
