Not wishing to complain for the sake of it but just a couple of points.
I think it's fair to say that everyone (fans, the club etc) were pretty disappointed with last season. We wasted a good start, were woeful in the second half, proved we didn't have the squad depth in what was a very light work load, did nothing in the cups and missed out on CL.
Sure the style of play was better but, lets be honest it was a bit of a mess and Kamikaze most of the time..... So.....
With the stadium now 4+ years old and generating revs at the top end of European football and the club seemingly under no threat of FFP why is it taking us so long to improve the squad ?
Season starts in 9 days, we have nearly finished our pre season with one game to go, the likes of VDV, Cuti and Bentancur have only just returned.
Personally, I thought our attacking play was woeful last season and Ange's tactics left a lot to be desired for the most part.
I appreciate the Euro's make the window tricky but Spurs are in need of some major improvement if we are gonna do anything of note this season. It's not like we are Everton, Villa or Newcastle and having to adjust for FFP, we are in an excellent position financially (the club deserves credit for that) but if we are not going to see the benefit on the pitch..... whats the point ?
I know there's time left in the window but are we guilty of sacrificing getting off to a good start/putting Ange in the strongest possible position to start the season for the sake of saving a few quid ??
I think most of us would agree that given the way the season ended, if you told us our only signings of note on Aug 7th would be Archie Gray, resigning an underwhelming Werner and a Korean kid nobody had ever heard of... we'd all be pretty disappointed.
Thoughts ?
Come On Spurs..... Do Something !

You’d say, great now let’s get some proven quality in to supplement some well-scouted players nobody has heard of.

Why would you when we can't even offer them CL football?

Press reporting Solanke has a 65mln buy-out coz Liverpool have a 20% sell-on clause
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That actually helps us, loads of sneaky things you can do - if we give them £65m straight, they pocket £52m with £13m going to Liverpool.
If we pay them a £40m loan fee for this season with an obligation to purchase at the end of the season for £15m - they still get £52m overall but Liverpool only get £3m
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you work for Levy? 😂

I’m sure we’re looking at something creative here or trying to negotiate with Liverpool for a lower sell on

Solanke's natural position is in the stands watching the game.
