Skipp is an odd signing at £20m plus - basically a tougher tackling Harry Winks.

Think Sara was only £15m?

Winks at 20m supposedly rising to 25m is the worst signing of the summer.

A very expensive plodder.

its complete panic and desperation mode. there is no long term plan, the hierarchy are incompetent. this season has the potential to be really damaging to the clubs reputation for many years to come. who would want to sign for us?!

From my point of view, hopefully Skipp

To be fair Skipp and Winks will dominate in the Championship - I do wonder if that’s the true strategy, build a squad for next season

I think I’m going to have to unfilter Mersey at this rate - I’m genuinely intrigued at what even he would say about the ownership 😂

It’s funny how the most staunch defenders of the Top regime have gone missing on this board since we’ve started to unravel. Only last year when Top moved some of money around (otherwise known as writing off the debt) they were saying we had the best owners in the world

It may have been more than a year since Top did that in fairness! Does make you think of that infamous “Faith in our Owners” article from Mersey when we were riding high under Maresca.

May be off topic, but have never started a season (even under Taylor)with such apathy and disinterest as i feel tonight.
Cant even be bothered to go as i think we could really get found out.
We are in a real bad situation,and Spurs are usually good starters.
Expect Madison to play well and possibly score,and only remember too well Bolton first game of season, many years ago.

The worry for me as a Spurs fan is that this is the most confident I have been going into a game since the Poch days - which is unusual. Your problems are well documented and then we’re at home to Everton on Saturday - normally means a kick in the teeth, I just can’t see how.

As for your season, I feel for you, it does look like with a points deduction on as well that you don’t stand a chance and to be honest I don’t blame anyone for not going - who wants to watch a side when the ownership aren’t even giving you a fighting chance at survival.

Well, I'm attending. Just wondering if I'll be able to stand it until the end after Spurs' fifth?

Well that was eventually a pleasant surprise. I thought Buonanotte looked quite encouraging given he's only 19. Soumare is already on the plane though (has he ever been with us?).

Not sure on Buononotte. I doubt he’s Coopers idea for a first choice no.10 and my hope is we get a much needed creative midfielder in this window to be the starter. I think he showed some good touches and the pass for Vardys attempt was great but also gave the ball away a lot and struggled with his touch at times
