    The reasons why Griffiths and Bennetts left Spurs and why Edwards wants to go

    Well why can’t he improve the academy players too, as he has previously. I’d say KWP was easily a 9 in terms of where he was at in his development, ability and mentality. Why did he need to spend 25m plus wages on a player who also needed to develop?

    Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

    Er.... we still have to pay that fee to the selling club and we still have to pay the wages to player whilst employed by us.

    Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

    Here is a list - 15 pages long - of other occasions Ive mentioned wages - including recent posts mentioning the wages of Aurier, Moura and potentially Grealish: http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?search/125168/&q=wages&c[users]=Bus-Conductor&o=date Any of us are only going to complain...

    Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

    ...Sissoko was 13th in the league last season. Hardly suggests he's Poch's "go to guy" does it. More like his go to after thought. That headline should read "Poch refuses to slag off guy who can't get a sniff when proper players are fit, that he persuaded Levy to spend £50m in fee and wages on"

    The Spurs Youth Thread - 2018/19

    Were they worse than the stuff that leaked out about Grealish (the player we are now about to spend 20m plus wages on) at Villa? I’m not making excuses for anyone, but it’s not like Edwards has been caught in a crack den, fuckng 15yo Albanian hookers. As a father of two - once - teenage kids...

    Player watch: Josh Onomah

    That’s it though isn’t it? What chance Onomah when your manager has spent two years trying to justify his 50m purchase (fee/wages) instead of giving that chance to a kid who could not possibly have been worse for the team.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

    ...investment band wagon. I'm on the "smart" investment or even "smart integration" band wagon. I'd have rather we'd have not spent the 80m (plus wages) on Sissoko, Aurier and Moura at all and either bought one very good player that actually improved us and used players like KWP, Omomah...

    FFP 2.0 impact on Spurs

    With regards to Malaga, it is irrelevant to my point or yours. None of us have a problem with financial regulations designed to enforce good fiscal policy and control debt. Malaga happened after FFP was introduced and could happen to any team and has to many. It was a situation exacerbated by...

    Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

    ...he drop a shoulder and jink past someone, but ultimately he's as good as he's going to be, and that isn't going to elevate us much further than where we are now and the money for him (fee and wages) could have been better invested in a player more conducive and with a higher potential ceiling.

    What the pundits & media are saying about us

    Guardiola's Barca made Ferguson's Utd look like cannon fodder. Another level. Guardiola, Conte, Mourinho, Klopp absolutely muller Fergie, Benitez (who may have been parking buses before Mourinho but is just not in his league, which is why he was managing in the championship last year), Ancelloti...

    Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

    ...and Trippier here already. We could have added footballing and financial value to the club by sticking with KWP, instead of spending 25m and wages on a player who came with inherent problems and would also need to settle into the country and league. Of all the players to have come through...

    The Kyle Walker-Peters Thread

    ...regular starts for us too. Personally I think KWP has the potential to be better than both Trippier and Aurier and the mistake we made was spending 24m plus wages for a player who’s going to take even more time than KWP would have to settle in and prove his worth and who wont be as good even...

    Summer transfer wish list - 2018

    I think this is the reason why we should be very wary of letting Pochettino have too much control of the recruitment. Players like Aurier, Llorente and Sissoko and to an extent, Nkoudou and Njie are all his signings or influenced by his craving for a certain type of player. Batshuyai is a very...

    Guardiola in a nutshell by Jonathan Wilson

    ...star galacticos, his record signing is Laporte, a 57m CB. Only 17m more than our record. To balance that off you have to accept that their wages are huge, and that is usually far more correlative to success. But at least with Guardiola you get someone who makes every penny work, teaches...

    Match Threads Stoke vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

    He’s more committed to his 4m wages and Pochettino (he’s said himself his future is tied to Pochettino) than he is Spurs per se. And nobody is underplaying his contribution, just being realistic about it. No one wants him birched, but it’s ok to say “he makes mistakes”, because he does.

    Pochettino halts Tottenham search for head of recruitment

    ...as Pochetino, is a dangerous step. At best you end up with a Wenger type scenario at worst you can end paying 55m (plus circa another 45-50m in wages) for players like Sissoko* and Aurier, who you really didn't need at all. * Bear caveat. Yes, I am only going on the ITK that Sissoko was...

    Pochettino halts Tottenham search for head of recruitment

    Oh blow it out your arse Bear. The 30m is common knowledge. Even if his reported 90k per week is exaggerated it's not going to be less than 60-70k and we know his contract is 5 years. I'm not going to be wildly off the mark here. Save your outrage. His signing is disappointing regardless of...

    Pochettino halts Tottenham search for head of recruitment

    Again, I do have an idea because the fee was openly and widely reported. And Soldado's actual basic cost was less than half that according to reports, with shitloads of add ons that never materialised because he couldn't hit a barn door. We are not loaded. We make less profit than a small...

    Pochettino halts Tottenham search for head of recruitment

    ...bollocks. You really think Newcastle would sell him for 6m (if we'd only kept him for a year)? Why would they, they had Everton ready to pay 30m. At best it's 6m instalments over 5 years. But we still have to pay the full fee. Even if reports are 10k or 20k out with his wages, it's still...

    Pochettino halts Tottenham search for head of recruitment

    Honestly BBLG, I think Sissoko is as close to a disaster as we as a club have ever got. Fee and wages is something like 50m potentially, for a player for whom the ball is a hot potato and isn't trusted to play in many games that matter. My point is, a lot of those really great value signings...
