Abraham was a good deal. Should score lots of goals for them for £34m.

You just know Mourinho will win something at Roma too. Spurs are destined to be the only club he will manage that won fudge all during his tenure. It's in the stars, we all know it.
Sky Are saying we are after Kurt Zouma
Sky are fudging idiots. We haven't dealt with chelsea since arnesen and won't till roman or levy are gone.

Was hoping to watch Koita tonight, but he does not seem to be playing for RB Salzburg tonight.
He is a nice looking striker. Him or Mussa Barrow would be good signings.

Actually, it is. I love Harry, but I think it's time we cash in on him and get in his replacement. If we go for Martinez and Madueke we could have a very exciting attack for years to come, way past when Sonny or Kane would be in their prime. Now's the time to do it, while teams are more likely to sell and while we are rebuilding, which would give players the chance to bed in in what may be a throwaway year.
Have we got more chance of getting into cl with or without harry kane? That's £100m right there.
Martinez and madueke could be great or they could flop. We know what we'll get with harry.
If city match our valuation, i will wish harry all the best. If not he's only just turned 28, he's in his prime. Top goal scorer and assists last season. One of the best strikers on the planet. 2nd highest goal scorer in the history of the club and could become the highest.
So if city fudge off, no it's not a shame.

I've liked posts on here that completely contradict that but when you put it like that? Hmm.
Football doesn't come with guarantees but Harry is as close as it gets.

That's the big question, isn't it: whether Martinez and Madueke will be a success. But another big question is whether with the current squad plus Harry we'd make CL. Neither is guaranteed. I'd err on the side of rebuilding, but that's just my personal take. In general, however, we should not be afraid of selling our best player(s) and bringing in new talent. Dortmund do it all the time and they're not too shabby. Heck, every team does it to one extent or another. We still have the mentality that, if we sell our best players we're doomed, but we've been constantly improving, even after the sale of Berba, Modric, Bale, etc. And we're a big team now, so attracting quality players isn't as difficult as it used to be 5-10 years ago.
As i said if city pay what we're asking, fine. If not and they want to walk away, fine. Them trying to turn it into a threat is a joke.
The selling club model works in certain leagues, Dortmund & Ajax (the two best examples) don't have 6 other legitimate contenders for CL spaces to fight with.
That said, I agree with the premise, we have improved because in general we are well managed, buying/selling players is something that needs to be planned for, and the balance of the team is very important in addition just to buying good players. Hopefully Paratici helps here.
Completely. I'd like to think that in another 5-10 years time we're even better able to hold on to players.
However given where we are now, if City meet the £150m asking price then there are very strong arguments that we'd be better off buying 3 * £50m players with the money who are say 21-23 years old
If you add 3 £50m-ish players (say Pau Torres, Martinez and Vlahovic) to a core of Lloris, Romero, Reguilon, Skipp, PEH and Son then you have the basis of a very good team, even before you consider Dele, GLC, Tubby etc and the other players which we are hopefully signing this summer anyway

But it’s a gamble of course
Our issue Wigan’s it’s city that are the problem here. They don’t want to pay the price as it sets a benchmark and it also empowers us to do some business
We just beat them. Them at highlights that they are fallible and that a team like Spurs can do something with money.
Fully agree with this

Guarantee of what, no CL for two years and no trophy in how long?
20 goals a season, every time
How you use/leverage that is up to the manager/broader team strategy

So not much then.
Considering we've had Eriksen and kane ckose to or top the assist charts along kane and son top of or close to top of the scoring charts, usually in the same season, goals are obviously over rated.
