From where we came from when Levy first arrived is massive ( the same Levy who some fans can not wait to bitch about), all we need now is the take the next step.

We need real quality on our bench, not sure we can go there just yet, maybe we need a little more time!
Another couple of seasons should do it!imho
Look at the city bench real quality

Well if you are looking to get a bench like City have you can forget it, and as for time we need to win something or we will lose more players.

Chicken and egg jobbie.

The first thing we need to a proper understudy for Kane.
We have a great core but just need to up the reinforcements imho

I think we can remove De Ligt from the list. He's playing for Ajax in their CL qualifier, which I think means that he can't play for another team in the CL, or does the qualifiers not count?

They've abolished the cup-tied rules in the CL and EL this season
 
Does anyway reckon half the reason Daniel likes leaving deals until the end of August rather than the start of June, is the massive wages saving too!?

12 weeks avoided payments to a £100k per week signing, saves him over £1m!

It's purpose is to protect the establishment, while stopping nouveau riche. So it won't stop the likes of City spending. But Fulham definitely fall in the nouveau riche category

In a way that's true. The problem is that no one can pull a City or a Chelski now. When they did it there was no FFP, which allowed them to build up their image and status and be able to generate their current income levels. This cannot happen anymore with FFP.

I would say it's a possibility. What businessman wouldn't want to save £1-2 mill

Surely that's outweighed by the time it takes to bed players into the team, and in particular the amount of pre-season training they do under Poch.

All this Levy leaves it late stuff out of choice is rubbish IMO

If we go in for De ligt on April 1st then 5 other clubs get involved, his price goes up and we are priced out, and the player has a better alternative both in wages, but also prestige.

We are in the worst situation, we are trying to buy players who would rather go somewhere else other than spurs, thats the harsh truth.
So we have to conduct our business in a different way, its rubbish but its the dynamics of it

Its compounded by the fact that our needs are pretty narrow. We are not like West Ham or Fulham or even Liverpool who had all these gaps to fill and scatter gun it, less so in Liverpools case. We know what we need and where we need it but to find that player is tough and I guarentee we get messed around hugely because clubs know all this.

Also signing players from lesser clubs is harder than ever, most clubs are backed by a multi million/billionairre who don't need to balance the books like the old days and rarely cash in as much.

Why would other clubs suddenly decide to go in for De Ligt because we do? If a club who can afford a bigger transfer fee and wages than we can wants De Ligt then surely they just go to Ajax and make an offer for him?
