Ighalo would walk into our team with kane injured
This isn’t bad luck, it’s the decisions of Levy and the board.

Have always had a soft spot for spurs as someone close to me was a spurs fan back in the days of Villa, hazard etc
I said when the new stadium was given the go ahead that it came at the wrong time for spurs. They had a decent team and a decent manager that needed a but of investment to go the next level. The playing at wembley and new stadium didn't help at all imo
Money is an issue for spurs with the over budget spend for the stadium and will be for some time imo.
Not sure it's all Levy's fault
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is absolutely the best time for anyone in the EPL to build a stadium. Especially clubs with medium-capacity 25k-40k seater stadiums.
The EPL is currently enjoying its moment in the sun, with the TV companies literally competing with each other to throw money at clubs by the truckload. Any chairman with any sort of long-term ambition could walk into any financier's office today and easily iron out a stadium mortgage with £20-35m annual premiums.
Why does everyone seem to think that the river of money flowing into the league will keep flowing forever?

Think you missed the point I was making.
Spurs did need to build a stadium to compete if nothing else. Extra income etc
But it came at the wrong time imo. With Poch they were on the verge of something they hadn't been for a while. And investing in both was going to be difficult.

Are you really having to ask why we havent spent £60m on Chilwell, £50m on AWB, £70m on Fernandes and £40m on Grealish
Why didnt we spend that £220m
and we'd still need "a proper DM", a new CB and a backup striker.
It's not football manager

My point is that AWB and Chilwell could have been bought for a much lower fee, if the club had shown some nous and identified their potential much earlier.
If we are not able/willing to spend big on players, then we absolutely must move much quicker for younger players with obvious potential. I remember being extremely impressed with AWB after just a few games in his debut season for Palace. It was obvious for all to see.
Other clubs unearth gems at bargain prices, why can't Spurs do the same, our scouting needs improving.

The recruiting strategy is supposedly to pick up cheap-ish young players with good sell-on value rather than spending big on mediocre players.
Trouble is Spurs have no scouts capable of picking up on good, cheap young players. So instead those go by the wayside and Spurs end up identifying mediocre young players (Foyth, Sanchez, N'Koudou, N'Jie etc) and overpaying for all of them by half.
Worst of both worlds innit
Levy was being praised a few seasons ago for the job he has done at Spurs along with Poch while spending little. How did Levy lose his touch?
