True on recipe for disappointment.......but what if the player has been told by his head coach he is not needed this season, will alot of top players stay and collect pay, ala a certain player in our CLUB?

I agree with doing this for the reason you mention, but only under the condition that we have 2 or 3 alternatives in place in case it goes tits up.

I hate to say it, but VDV was well and truly a one-off! Right player at the right place at the right time for the right price!!
Hoping to recreate that situation would be nothing short of a miracle!
..........here's hoping i'm totally wrong though!

The funny thing is I get the feeling the likes of Austin are in a similar position to Berahino in looking for a better deal. I'm sure Berahino will hold out for a bigger move just as Schneiderlin did, but we may find Austin will hold out for a move to us and if that doesn't come off go somewhere like Newcastle instead. It's all about getting the best move possible for these players and I'm sure Adebayor is looking for a big move himself because moving from Spurs to Villa (without meaning disrespect to Villa) is a drop down for him.
On the defensive midfielder front I get a feeling of Deja Vu on that one, we may end up with another Stambouli on deadline day.

The alternative is to sign someone that won't be better than what we have! To Dare is To Do!

THIS.
In terms of players signed in the last few seasons they seem to be the ones that stick and become good too. From memory Lloris, Vertonghnen, Eriksen and Chadli were all players who came to us as first choice options and were very keen to join the mighty Spurs!

We obviously have been given sufficient indication by Bender that he is interested in us - so it is a realistic deal.
Personally I would rather wait around for top quality than fill the squad with average players.

You would think that if a player wanted to see who else came in for them, their "advisors" would be out trying to drum up interest.

Stambouli is pretty hot to be fair.

I'm happy to wait for the last day if its a truly worthwhile player, what I wouldn't accept is a squad filler if the deal didn't go through.
I'm pretty comfortable with Veljkovic filling the squad spot if we can't get a top notch player.

It probably is Stambouli. Unless you are hinting that it's the Polish midfielder Adam Deja.
I thought Adam Deja is Polish

Meh, whoever Goat's DM is, sounds like they will always be looking for a bigger team to come in. That is not the attitude I want to see here. I don't want a player who thinks he is too big for Spurs.

To be honest IMO we really need to get business done before the 1st day of the season. So many years have I seen us squander points early on due to the uncertainty. Players not wanting To play for us and going on strike or us not having the foresight to get replacements in so we are ready from the 1st day.
Points should be fought for in all the 38 games not 36 + 2 with our hands tied behind our backs. We normally go on good runs post transfer window.
We should ideally have these players bedded in through preseason so we are fluid when we go on the 1st day.
I'm sure things will be sorted come 1st Sept as the players mentioned are of the quality we can obtain.
