They mean business and they will no doubt be challenging City/Liverpool for the title next season. The signings of Ziyech and Werner are top quality, not to mention the potential of them grabbing Chillwell and probably the best young player in Europe right now in Havertz.
It’s just going to make it even harder now for Spurs to ever get to the level we were 2 seasons ago because the other top teams are more ambitious than us in the market. These are next level players and is the reason why Chelsea tend to complete for honours, whilst Spurs can never seem to elevate themselves into that area of winning silverware.
I’m just looking at the targets and it seems we are looking at grabbing players like Ryan Fraser on a free and Hjoberg from Southampton. Isn’t it no wonder the club never really achieves anything ? When Chelsea are signing Timo Werner and we are sniffing around Ryan f*** Fraser
Chelsea

I think the big six could be permanently broken next year. I don’t see Leicester fading and there is no reason Wolves and Everton can’t overtake Arsenal and Spurs., They have good squads, more money to spend and excellent managers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The exact thing was predicted before we became cert top 4 few years ago.
The same old crowd with the same old next year the big six could be broken... Yawn, trying to keep saying until it gets true, is it? Oh God!
Still waiting on that and even with Everton having spent a fortune ZILCH no breaking up of top 6!
Broken? The only thing broken is your record!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I will not speak for others. However, I do not understand or recognise your analogy.
Rather than confirming a consensus view of football, Spurs broke it when they cracked the top four. Pochettino changed the perception of your team completely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pochettino got lucky he had players like Kane, Verts, Toby, Eriksen, Lloris, Walker, Rose, Dembele all about to peak. He inherited a good side. Everton, Wolves, Leicester do not have nearly anywhere near the quality of that Spurs side.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it not the case he significantly improved them and utilised them in a formation and system that got the best out of them?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They were all pretty well top players before he arrived. Most other managers would have won trophies with that set of players, that is why I always maintain Pochettino is vastly overrated.

If Levy gets us Upamecano as part of the replacements needed for our ageing back four......I will think we might compete.
Otherwise it has to be .......ENIC OUT!!!

He's a player Spurs REALLY should've pushed to get after the Champions League Final, could argue Ziyech as well. For the quality of players they are we got them staggeringly cheap, perfect Levy type signings if he had a clue what he was doing.
Oh well, unlucky

Good replies, although I would argue Everton have a top quality manager at the helm for the first time since Moshiri’s millions arrived on Merseyside. Wolves are only two to three signings from significant improvement and they have the money to achieve this.
Leicester - you have make a good case for their stagnation, but they have had a three month break to recharge, so we will see.
We are also forgetting mega rich Newcastle - if the deal goes through.
Consensuses at the top are made to be broken. City and Spurs broke the big four (2004-2010) and made it a big six.
I mean “big”. in terms of position in the league. I appreciate Spurs have a proud history.

Fair enough, that is a very decent and balanced post.

And won what? Nobody will remember the team in 10 years time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You aren’t going to remember the semi final victory over Ajax, winning at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 26 years, beating United in the last match at the lane, ending St Totteringham’s day...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really mate, I go back a long way seen Chelsea win at Stamford Bridge a fair few times, finish above Arsenal lots of times, and win European finals, not just get to finals. So I won't really be looking back on the events you mentioned with to much joy. Good at the time, but really meaningless in the grand scheme of Spurs history.
