I am am curious as to what people think about how Spurs conduct themselves transfer wise
I see us as a club that is notoriously difficult to deal with, in the sense we will try and squeeze every dollar out of a potential sale and save every dollar in a potential purchase now obviously this makes sense in a normal economic situation but football is not a normal economic situation
Sometimes you need to over spend to get what you want when you want it and sometimes you have to undersell to get rid of something for anything at all
Some of Levy's dealings have been amazing, the price we got for Palacios and Crouch being the perfect example and obviously VDV but when i hear about us jeopradising deals for a play like Leandro over 1 or 2 million pounds it annoys me
Are you happy that we are a club that is incredibly meticulous in their spending or do you wish we would take a gamble more often and make quick moves in the transfer market for immediate effect but obviously raising the level of risk? Are you happy that we are frugal and seem to make purchases that are economicaly sound but lack a bit of excitement?
I am not advocating us living beyond our means ala Leeds but i would like for us to take that exotic gamble and i wake up one morning and see that we have bought say Cavani for 35 million pounds.
The good thing is as long as we are run by Levy will always be financially stable which is most important but, arghhhh, it frustrates me that every single transfer seems drawn out or a last minute bargain buy
Anyway, i guess what i am asking is, do you like our transfer policy or does it frustrate the hell out of you?
During the transfer window it annoys me, but then when i look at it in hindsight i always feel we are very shrewd and possibly the best run club in the league
Also, my apologies, this is my first night on the forum and i have been posting like mad, as i stated in previous thread i don't now any spurs fans so i am getting things off my mind in bulk, i apologise for just barging in and talking a lot of rubbish, i don't normally post this much, i felt i should put in a disclaimer
