    The transfer thread

    It's both, and a different numbers game - Youth is always a more volume approach, if we get 2-3 player out of the current group, it would be good - The addition now has to be that Solanke type signings every season to complement.

    As others have mentioned, super unlucky, don't let it put you off, especially nowadays, super diverse support, diverse area and lots of families attend games. @DaveT316 sorry to hear mate, glad you managed your way out of it ..

    Unfortunately the £32m is peanuts - City, United, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea & Arsenal (in that order) earn magnitudes more money than other teams - In latest version of Deloitte's numbers, the lowest earner in the 6 had €532M/yr in revenue - The next best PL clubs? (Saudi Sportswashing Machine & West Ham) €287M...

    - Spurs runs a fiscally responsible business, people/fans may not like or want that, but fundamentally nothing wrong with the model outside of the fact that other teams have been allowed to not follow the rules for years. - Those investments are designed to raise the income of the entire...

    And financially, building the club, Infrastructure, improvements in players, coaches, even consistency of on field football (16+ years in Europe) he has all right to be at least in the conversation. For all the complaints re Levy, the fact that United, Chelsea & Liverpool haven't updated their...

    Beating City is one of those things you don't caveat much There will always be moments, you take yours and try to keep theirs to a minimum Well done to the boys

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Do we? even on this board (one of the more measured viewpoints on game/club) they have people who question, who I think would replace Ange, broader social media is full of idiots who fall back to the "he's out of his depth", "we concede too many" (not true this season), "we don't adapt" (also...

    Mikey Moore

    Players mature both physically & mentally at different ages On the physical side, too many games/injuries during growth periods can fudge them for life Be an interesting exercise of how many 16/17 years olds that broke into top level football went on to have a career into their 30's vs. those...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    It's held it's own against much better teams than Palace It wasn't the press itself, but the press, plus forcing the game into a stop/start (we like to knock the ball around, to draw the opposition out), plus the physicality Yes, because the manager can make decisions only at certain points...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    I don't think it's effort I think we got knocked out of the game we like to play (lots of possession, lots of passes, pulling opposition out of place), a style that has worked against very good teams (we generally still have possession even against the best teams), and we didn't know how to...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Actually I'd completely disagree - Churn at top leads to a capitalistic short term view point about satisfying shareholders, it's why Private Equity investment is a plague, it's why many previously successful businesses suddenly crash and burn (take a look at South West Airlines case study...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I think it's also just the scale of the business - The club that made 100M/yr is long gone, the non football side of business, development of the global brand, all requires a much bigger team to run, needs specialist people to focus on specific areas. I suspect Munn runs everything football...

    Dominic Solanke

    Yes and no ... - Part of his game is he creates space for others - But in the last couple of games, players have put crosses in (Werner & Moore come to mind) that neither Solanke or the other Winger (core part of Ange's system) committed to get there for. There is still a balance issue in the...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    All business does, it's sentiment analysis. It's an input but it wouldn't be the main reason the club makes a decision Levy has shown an ability to make unpopular and ruthless decisions (regardless of if you agree on the right/wrong of them), for me, it's much better to make the call than do...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Emirates Marketing Project ***

    Not sure I agree (even if we are far behind them), it was a poor game by both sides (from what I recall), City went man to man to adjust against us, we didn't cope but in the end they had to foul the keeper to get a set piece goal (which has led to a year of stupid referee decisions that still...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    While I agree he's gone further than I would ever have guessed, he's got two flaws I don't think will allow him to be elite, first bit is the don't lose first mentality, second is he's still thinks you can win things consistently without an elite striker (false 9 brick) Re end of season, it's...

    OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur vs AFC Richmond/Crystal Palace - Sunday 27th October 14:00 ***

    No disagreement re impact of that type of player (City's win/loss ration with/without Rodri is way wider that you would think) Pre injury Bentancur (the guy that held Conte's outnumbered midfield together) was close to what is needed (not saying close to Rodri), but it's up for debate if he'll...
