Leave Hank alone, everyone makes typos when animatedGo realiat elsewhere.
Grealish starts lol
Dembele is a one off no one else plays like he does. Would rather have a player who can see a pass. Dembele end product is usually nil.Do you realise that Dembele had the best dribbling stats in Europe not so long ago? Grealish, on the other hand, has shown he's above average at beating Championship players.
I'm not saying Grealish would be a bad signing, but he's currently not even close to Dembele's ability (and isn't suited to playing in the same role).
Bank account is likely empty, we won't sign anyone until a player is sold or about to be sold. Wouldn't surprise me if we're waiting for the stadium sponsorship deal to be finalised too before we commit to spending and how much.
Sounds pessimistic but we only spend what we receive and I've not seen any evidence of that changing. Until I see a sale being close I'm not going to assume a purchase, safer that way so not disappointed.

Do you really think that any transfer business is dependent on us getting stadium sponsorship deal ?
The likelihood is we won't have a stadium sponsor for quite a while.
Spurs will already have a sizeable transfer kitty but we have a limit on how many non homegrown players we have in our squad. As it stands we have one too many so we do need to offload one or two to make space.
Its not a question of us having no money.
Nah not reliant upon it, more having ducks in a row regarding everything. Yeah it sounds pessimistic but I'm not intending it to be its just how we operate. If we are intending on funding transfers with certain sales they'll have to be all aligned otherwise if for some reason a sale collapsed it'll mean we're in a position that the club clearly don't feel comfortable with.
I'd love us to go spend 100m on players then claw that money back through sales but we clearly don't and never have done it like that.
Yeah this is all getting a bit tedious now to be honest. The fact that we can't wrap up a deal for a Championship player who wants to join us from a club in financial dire straights in a timely manner tells you all you need to know. It's detrimental. Find it hard to accept all the stuff about Levy getting the best deal possible and not compromising. Really don't understand how the insistence on shaving a few percentages off the fees involved is better for the club than getting targets in early.140 pages on Grealish, worst window ever, haha
