They spent £50m on Torres in January. How much of an influence did he have on Chelsea's form in the second half of the season? If anything, he was a detriment to their play.
They've signed a young midfielder from Barcelona who is clearly one for the future. So have we. They're trying to sign a young striker for the future. We've already done that.
Liverpool have spent a crap load of money on decent players, but they still don't have a better first team or a better squad than Spurs. Arsenal have signed Gervinho, but they've still yet to improve their defence. Plus they're having a hard enough time holding onto Nasri and Fabregas?
Do I think Spurs can finish above Liverpool and Arsenal? Yes. With a couple of signings, I think Spurs can compete against Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea. But without a top class striker or two coming in, we still have the strength to outperform Liverpool and Arsenal.
Do I think your post is one of the worst I've read in a while? Yes. Your post is claiming we have to let Modric leave because we've yet to sign a striker, which shows a lack of our ambition.
Our ambition has seen us attempt to strike deals for Falcao, Rossi, Adebayor, Aguero, Forlan, Llorente and Vucinic. Is that a lack of ambition? No. We just don't have the financial muscle or stature as a club to complete deals like that easily.
But the transfer window is far from shut yet. There's still plenty of time for one, even two of those players to arrive.
Torress didn't make impact, but that's doesn't mean he won't, you know how good he is. he just came from some injuries in last 18 months.
as for Liverpool, i disagree, yes they brought decent players, but all of them are EPL players, and before their arrivial, Liverpool managed to reduce the difference between us and them with only Suarez ( Carroll wasn't fit most of the 2nd half of the season ) so add Adam, Downining and Henderson to them ? plus without Eroupean fixture ? they are going to challenge for title, they've one of the best Mid. in the country now.
Arsenal ? we always said same things about them. But even thought, we need to finish above two teams.
