crichiejambos Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 First club in premier league history not to buy anyone in the summer transfer window! Now you could look at this two ways one good on them for not spending ridiculous amounts of money and being pressured into it! Or it's a big gamble and they are taking a chance it works out.....but something has gotta give if you have a new stadium to pay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Still a very strong squad but they needed the stadium to move up a level. The biggest problem for them is if they come 5th-7th this season and the likes of Kane, Erikssen, Trippier etc... start to get the itch to move for some silverware. They could struggle to replace them with the stadium debt being the short term priority. Then the manager goes and they'll be a mid table side with a cracking stadium which is half full. Risky.

chester copperpot Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Levy has already stated that he doesn't think many players were worth the price given the inflated fees this year. I like Spurs. Well run club and once this new stadium is up and running then potential WOW! my old boss is also a massive Spurs fan and I like him so all good for me. Still my worst ever memory for a European Tie though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightyJambo Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Risky move in my opinion. The teams right behind them (Liverpool, Arsenal & Chelsea) have all improved their squads so they could easily be overtaken by all three and i can't see Kane and co staying on if they are suddenly playing Europa League football!

The in-laws are all big Spurs fans and I can't imagine they're looking on this positively in any way. They did have a very good squad but it still needed strengthening, and as you say all of their rivals have strengthened. Big season for Spurs now.

DH1986 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Just because they haven’t bought doesn’t mean they’ll be worse off. Be interesting to see how they do. Edited August 9, 2018 by DH1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 It's hardly a squad on the wane that they have. They have a group of players in their prime and they may just replicate another top 4 finish. I understand a bit freshness added to the squad helps even if not entirely needed but I think they'll still do well. Get to January doing reasonably well and they might splash then.

Bauld Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 They have young players who are a season more experienced. Their first 11 should be stronger for it this year. Top 4 but they won't win the EPL title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Got a decent side but probably needed a couple of top class players to go the extra bit for trophies. Could be similar situation to Arsenal when they spent massively on their stadium. 2 or 3 years without improving, or maybe even slipping back until the financial benefits kick in.

Brighton Jambo Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) I get that it’s seen as good for them not to get sucked into the crazy prices but if you stand still while all around you strengthen then you go backwards. And how long before a young hungry manager looks around and thinks he would do better elsewhere.

Mikey1874 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Still have a good squad. Though we don't know yet who they may lose by end August. They are quoted as being unwilling to pay fees quoted for Zaha, Grealish, Malcolm and possibly Martial. Maybe others. But smashed their wage structure to give Kane a new contract. Though possibly to increase the fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Fox Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I used to respect Spurs - Dave MacKay, we always played them pre-season, we played them in our centenary year match (1974), vs Bayern Munich Away 1986 loads of their fans (dual hearts & spurs there) since then ...... no respect at all, they are arrogant, think they are special, they’ve never won the premier league, at best they will be mid season 18/19, massive debts with a new stadium etc!! PS they did achieve one thing, they managed to come 3rd in a two horse race 15/16, Arsenal were 2nd!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
