    Well, we've signed Wimmer, Alderweireld and Trippier. Nice and early too. Earlier than Villa made their signings. QED. As to N'jie and Werner, perhaps they are not wanted by other top teams. I couldn't say. But perhaps....and this is the point that I think you are ignoring......perhaps neither...

    Excellent post.

    Or no other club at a comparable or higher level than Villa was interested in the players they bought? We tend to operate at a higher level in the transfer market and therefore meet with much stiffer competition.

    Pre-Season: *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Real Madrid OPSFMT ***

    Wage costs leapt from £67m in 2009-10 to £91m in 2010-11. But wage costs haven't increased greatly thereafter: In 2009-10, our turnover was £120m. Wages were £67m or, in other words, 56% of turnover In 2010-11, our turnover was £164m. Wages were £91m or, in other words, 55% of turnover. In...

    Yes........because they weren't waiting on other targets. Self evidently.

    Pre-Season: *** Tottenham Hotspur vs Real Madrid OPSFMT ***

    That's not actually true. Our wage bill leapt in 2010-11 but hasn't gone up greatly since then (or at least, hadn't at the time of the most recent published accounts). It's why our wages to turnover percentage has dropped from north of 60% four or five years ago to nearer 50% now. Not to...

    We don't know who our targets are or were or how far down our list N'jie is. If we had wanted any of the players that Villa signed, I have no doubt that we would have won that battle. Do you? Really?

    It's already working like that. You only have to look at some of the transfer activity by the Premier league's lesser lights to know it.

    In what way is Villa's transfer activity relevant? As far as I'm aware, they aren't trying to sign the same players as us. Why get in a lather about press rumours? The real "fact" is that none of us know what Spurs are demanding for Lennon (or what we will accept for him). Nor do we know what...

    Indeed. And with the added TV money, £20-25m is the new £15m.

    The Winger Thread

    I think I understand why Chadli is underrated. He can be an effective player - obviously, as his goal return suggests. But he's not an exciting player. Not the type to get fans out of their seats. He has a bit of everything but no particular quality that takes the breath away - like Ginola, for...

    Well, thank you for the kind words (however undeserved they might be!). But I have to stress that I have no greater facility to understand Levy's thinking than you. I think it's just that I've probably studied his actions - and those of Joe Lewis and the Tavistock Group generally - more closely...

    Harry Kane MBE

    It's perfectly possible that Kane will eventually leave Spurs. He might even act up in order to force a move. But it won't happen this summer. He is more than happy to be at Spurs at this stage of his career.

    Harry Kane MBE

    With respect, I don't believe that you understand Levy's "mindset". He is not interested in the quick buck. He is all about the long term goal. Selling Kane and replacing him for a cheaper, inferior player might realise a short term gain. But it would cost him far more in terms of damage to the...

    Harry Kane MBE

    Agreed with your stance but I'd go further. Even if Kane were to act up, Levy would not sell him until next summer at the earliest. And even then, not to a Premier League rival. 100%.

    Why should I?

    Harry Kane MBE

    I don't think you understand Levy at all. He may well see pound signs. But not in the way that you think. He doesn't look at our best players and think, "I can make £40m there; and £30m there; and £20m there.....Let's sell and replace them with cheaper, inferior players". That might give him a...

    General Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

    Inevitable, I guess, given how overloaded we already are at right back - all of them quite young, too. But a shame for him that he never got a chance. Hope he makes a good career in the game at Premier League level.

    General Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

    We clearly need to sign two or three attacking players to give us what we currently lack (pace, mostly); to provide motivating competition for some under performing players (Lamela, for instance); and to provide cover for Harry Kane. We also need a CM / DM. And I'm confident that those needs...
