This is becoming one of those myths that Arsenal fans used to say, "we dont spend money".
What? You go and visit spurs club website? Why?
Yes I think he is the right man but he needs the club to back him 100% and that means spending a ton of cash to bring in new players. I think we need to replace around 6 first team players which is quite shocking but it's where we are right now after years of mis-management. Do I think he will get the backing? That's a different question. Probably not is the answer.
I don’t think you have a ton of money to spend though which is the issue.
Any chance of a swap deal in the summer? Maguire and Henderson, straight swap for Kane?
I do agree with this.
Not many clubs have the ability to spend like Chelsea it seems
We have a lot of money we could spend, we are a very rich club, we just don't.
Its this myth that Arsenal fans used to say "our owners dont spend"
Yes BUT we need a lot, lot more investment to get anywhere near where we want to be. I want us to invest 100-200 million quid EVERY WINDOW for the next 4 or 5. The club has been totally mis-managed for years and our squad is a reflection of that right now.
I’m not so sure you do to be honest, especially when you look at your debt
For sure you need more, United need more, City actually need more, Arsenal need more.
Could do all that and you'd be demanding Dier still starts.
Ever heard of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Reddit ? I don't think he fully typed www.tottenhamhotspur.com to have a browse
Dier? Jesus Christ no, he's one of the first out the door for me now.Could do all that and you'd be demanding Dier still starts.
One month he is awesome and how he is the best CB England have and the other month, he should be the first to go.
No need to make stuff up now. I've been a fan of him in the past at times but he always has a mistake in him and needs to go. People are allowed to change their opinions you know! One of the benefits of having a brain.
Chill man, just highlighting how extreme opinions are.
I know what you mean, but I've been pretty consistent with my thoughts on Spurs for the last 6 months at least (now everybody goes through my posts and finds that one post that makes me look foolish)
Udogie is still playing for Udinese... I don't know why he is being brought up to this discussion.
No manager gets 100% of the players they want. Even Pep Guardiola. Pep wanted Kane last summer, didn't get him, Pep wanted Maguire, didnt get him, Pep wanted Cucurella, didnt get him.
Conte managed to brainwash our fans the same way. I was genuinely arguing against people who justified 10-1 on aggregate to Bournemouth, Watford and Newcastle aswell as THAT approach at City because "the window".
They know he was their last hope for a trophy any time soon.Conte managed to brainwash our fans the same way. I was genuinely arguing against people who justified 10-1 on aggregate to Bournemouth, Watford and Newcastle aswell as THAT approach at City because "the window".
That said he didn't get the best hand that summer so in terms of retaining the title I was happy to give him a pass on that but falling out of top 4 was all on him.
You can kind of understand with our fanbase of the back of an unexpected title win but what the hell has he got over Spurs fans to make them so defensive of him
It's not about Conte, it's about Spurs fans feelings towards the board and Levy in particular. It's approaching tipping point where most Spurs fans want a total change at the top.Conte managed to brainwash our fans the same way.

Can I ask what makes you believe you have lots of money to spend on transfers? You mentioned it before but didn’t explain when I mentioned your huge stadium debt.
We were told in the summer we had at least £150 million to spend yet didn't spend that amount. We are one of the richest clubs in Europe and the stadium is now bringing in a ton of cash for us. Yes we do have significant debt but we also have an owner who is a billionaire. The money is there if we really wanted to use it, the frustrating thing for us as fans is that for years we have underspent in comparison to rivals and most of the time when we did actually spend big it's been on the wrong players. Our recruitment in the past 10 years has had some successes but generally has been absolutely shocking. I've had enough and from what I can tell many, if not most of us feel the same way. We want Levy to go.
Just to clarify in case people do not aware of. Arsenal's recent transfer spent are all from debt. We don't have the money either. The club is betting heavily on CL qualification. The owner does not inject cash into the club. It is the debt the club needs to service and pay interest for it
understood. I do believe you are more in debt than United for instance though and make much less revenue. I don’t know your figures but it seems there’s perhaps money there but you will need to trim your squad. It looks very bloated.
Thanks I didn’t know that. It seems a few clubs are relying heavily on CL football.
In a normal business environment having a billionaire owner doesn't mean the club can spend lots of money. A billionaire being a billionaire means they are very good at managing business and money, not playing FM with cheat code, and give the club a blank cheque to sign players.
There's not really a law that prevents opening other clubs websites on internet.
Not saying otherwise, was just curious to know.
That wasn't a myth though. Up until the pandemic, the owners didn't spend any of their own money on Arsenal.
Yeah that's what I remember from a few months back.
I agree with most of thisYeah that's what I remember from a few months back.
I think this is the problem Spurs now have tbh.
In the summer it's not just about replacing mediocre starters like all their wingbacks who are all of middling quality. They also now need to replace Lloris, Dier and then you have a declining Son and also guys like Hojiberg who's decent but not on the same level as guys like Casemiro, Partey and before this season Fabiano. And that's before Kane's future becomes a big talking point.
They're going to need 3-4 transfer windows to get a really competitive side out again and that's if most of the signings are hits. I can see them missing out on top 6 this season and next year aswell.
if the rumor about PSG's interest is true, then you have nothing to worry about.
Right okay, you still believe that.
I like your opinions and tend to take notice of them. Outside looking in, seems a mess between Conte signing a new contract but wanting funds and the board taking the opposite view. He doesn't have the players to effectively play how he really wants but really does have the aura of a man hanging around but would leave if a certain Italian club came knocking. In all seriousness, how do you see things right now with Spurs?
