I have decided that yes. Poch identified one target as vital, MS, and we failed to get him for whatever reason. Sometimes to get the important targets, you pay over the odds - see Bale, Di Maria, Sanchez etc. Yes these clubs have greater spending power than us, but we had Townsend, a player Soton wanted to get the price down, plus we've made £11m profit this summer.You've decided Spurs have let Poch down - yet that's not the info we have at all. That every player has their price is not a new concept for us. Whose being naive here? Whose expectations are loftier than their level?
I do despair of our fan base on a regular basis buddy, I just try and put a more reasoned spin on things in the hope that some listen.
Reckon I've been here quite a while to know enough about the different types of fans we get on here.
That every player has his price is different to the situation at Spurs this summer. The fact that every player has his price applies more to situations like Bale and Modric, where you have a prized asset that you don't want to lose, but at the right price you let them go. This summer, we were willing to listen to offers for all the names I mentioned above, meaning that Poch would have let them go willingly. This in essence means that he doesn't feel they are important players to what he wants to achieve. I hope you can see this vital difference between the two situations.
