can we expect to see some serious improvement from a lot of our current players this coming season.
If squad players like Sissoko, Wanyama, Lamela, Moura, Llorente, Rose, Winks, etc can all up their game just 20 per cent this coming season, then Spurs will have saved a lot of money on buying similar players. Given that youngsters like Foyth and KWP will also come on in leaps and bounds, Spurs will have a pretty formidable squad, even without any new blood.
Spurs also have a fine academy, and seems like there are a few coming through that. So let`s make use of what we have, and stop keep buying squad players, use the Academy boys, after all that is what the Academy is supposed to be all about, bringing on talented players, and getting them into the first XI.
Assuming Spurs sign no players,

Spurs will do fine yes Sandy, but we will not win anything again, and then the players and manager will want out because of our lack of ambition

Yeah problem is there’s only maybe 10 players of that quality in the world and they all already play for Barca, Madrid etc
---------------------------------------------------------------
so your saying the players you have now are just below Barca and Madrids? hmmmmm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So first Arsenal fans tell us Kane/Alli/Eriksen will force moves to Barca or Madrid and now they tell us they’re not good enough
----------------------------------------------------------------------
when have i ever said that? and your deflecting away from what i originally asked you.

Just funny that some people think our players are too good for us and want out, and others think they couldn’t possibly play for Madrid. Reality must be somewhere in the middle. I do think a fair few of our squad could play for Barca/Madrid, if that was your question.

While I think we could probably have done with a fresh face or two, I'm not overly concerned about the lack of new signings. We didn't have any glaring weaknesses in our starting XI to sort out, and there is no point spending big on squad players if they aren't necessarily going to be an improvement on what we already have.
Sánchez should improve in his second season at the club, Winks could make a significant contribution if he avoids injuries and is able to replicate and improve upon his performances early last season, while Moura will surely make a bigger impact with a full pre-season with the club behind him. Maybe Poch & Co can cut some of the rashness out of Aurier's game. Maybe another youngster will step forward and join the group.
I think there is enough potential for improvement within the current group to make up for the lack of signings.

i think it's more to do with the fact you have these supposed 'world class' players but your not paying them accordingly with the rest of the top teams + not winning trophies or investing in your team. Due to those factors, the next thing to happen is players eventually leaving....unless something changes.

They were all supposed to be leaving this window. They have 12 minutes to get out.
It gets so boring all these Spurs players that are supposed to be leaving every season, and none ever do.
