If wages are the stumbling block we should be looking at bringing in talented less established younger players.

And considering we clearly had nobody realistic lined up, the Suarez cockup is looking like even more of a massive cockup. Yes it's boring to keep bringing it up, but the more this issue goes on, the more perplexing a decision it seems.

Interesting that the Blackburn manager has said there hasn't been one bid in for Samba, not one. (although many wont be bothered about that :wink:)

I've got a question too - what does POTL stand for?

So far I came up with Prick of the Lane, Pe**s of the Lane, Puta*g of the Lane and Wind Up Merchant.

Care to explain? :shrug:

Shouldn't you be looting somewhere??:roll:

Calm down people. Plenty of time yet. I'm sure we will have a new striker by the end of the window. But if we don't then we have a great team anyway. I can't wait till Hearts so we can finally get on to the part of football which is actually enjoyable, the transfer window is only there to make the off season interesting!

a 'great' team who couldn't beat, bpool (twice), wigan (twice), west brom (twice), west ham, (twice),

I believe we will get at least 1 striker before the end of the window whether it will be the calibour of the one we want, well have to wait and see.

We really should be lowering our sights then if wages are the problem. I'd love a marquee signing but if we keep getting rebuffed because of wages then we should move on to other targets.

Get Spursking in as a scout!

Would it be fair to say now that Football_agent9 is now confirmed ITK and can be taken seriously?

Edit: obviously taken with the pinch of salt you would for other ITKs

have you just forgot the last 20 years of spurs history or something :)!

This is the best spurs side we have had in my life time. Some people have just been spoilt by the last few years of overachieving (in terms of wages we are seventh) the last few years.

but beat Arsenal away, Liverpool home and away........

exactly we raise our game vs the top teams but struggle to break down teams who sit back vs us, which is why i feel it is imperative we are able to secure the signature of a 'deadly striker' or certainly an upgrade on what we have.

If a striker doesn't become available then perhaps another creative midfielder, but hey we have loads of them.

lets try and be positive and acknowledge we have the best squad in years, and just maybe we'll improve it the before the window closes.

im sure well offload a few next week, which should (i stress 'should') free up funds for new acquisitions.

yes the team is certainly good, but to go as far as saying 'great' is premature, we have the nuclease of a potential 'great' team but as harry is always signing we need '1 or 2' top players to take us to the next level. (i.e rossi and .....)
