Transfer thread

There is an element of truth in it being a wasted spot, we deserve to be in it for winning the EL, but as you say it seems to make no difference to the clubs approach.

You could make the same argument with Saudi Sportswashing Machine tbf

If we are not going to build a squad capable of competing , we may as well stick to the EL

Might aswell be in the championship aswell. We won't win the prem. So what's the point? Lets hope we get relegated eh?

Spurs getting CL (rather than EL, rather than ECL, rather than nothing at all) increases our budget.
We spend our budget on transfers and wages.
So our CL place will enable us to buy better players. We spend what we bring in.
Wait and see.

Overall budget I agree with but it's never really seemed to make a difference in terms of the calibre or pedigree of the players we sign. It just allows us to purchase more of the same from the same pool we were were already buying from. It's not so much related to this window so far but our history, whenever we've qualified for the CL it's not really brought a higher standard of player in imo. There will be some examples and exceptions but generally no, our highest profiles have often signed when we weren't actually CL qualified, ie. the likes of Berbatov or Romero.
