Only thing stopping us is Levy/ENIC.
Piatek, Semedo and Kalvin Phillips are £25/30m players and would improve our current squad.
Financially the stadium will be making us so much money. I think gate receipts at the old land were something like £30m. This season it will be £100m+. Then you have NFL, concerts etc. With the debt financed over 20 odd years we should already have a larger budget thanks to the stadium.

Yeah.... That's what I assumed with the debt payments so low and spread over such a long period. I think Devonshire brought it up the other day when he questioned me as to whether their was proof that ENIC were retaining massive profits while the squad is clearly regressing...... I guess this window and the summer will reveal a lot. I think its become evident that we are going nowhere unless significant moves are made.
We all know Levy hates the transfer system and perhaps Eriksen taking him to the cleaners has forced him into a change in approach...we'll see
OP
What decent players are ever available in January. I wouldn`t mind a bit spent, but be fair the players are just not available at this time of the year.
Panic buys would be of absolute no use at all to the club, and would in all probability be just sticking plaster, when major surgery is needed. Spending lots now would be just a waste of money. I prefer to wait until the Summer, and do some proper business.

who knows mate.....Granted not as much bizz gets done in Jan Vs the Summer but there can be good deals done.... VVD & Suarez spring to mind. I guess the point is, despite what appears to be a good financial footing if the debt numbers are accurate the club must have seen that the squad quality over the tenure of 2 high quality managers isn't good enough. Waiting and doing nothing till the summer is so typical of Spurs and so far has proved unsuccessful.... Maybe a different approach is needed. Its not always about spending massive amounts of money, its about smart scouting and taking opportunities when the arise.... Look at Leicester and Wolves as good examples. Some of our best players over the past 5 years were all bought for what at the time seemed like good deals.... Jan, Toby, Eriksen, Dele, Dier, Wanyama & Sonny..... I think its possible if the club stopped resting on its laurels thinking they are better than they actually are
Every player is available in January.
They just cost more
There seems too much chat about the AC milan striker for it not to be true and the same with KWP going out on loan so you'd have to think there will defo be a new RB too.....Its a start !

Piatek should suit us more than Milan
I dont trust the club to buy the right players.

I think this notion will be wrong now that players cant be cup tied for europe. It means you can replace or sell without the problem of not being able to use your quality player in european competitions. This means everyone will be looking to do business.

We are panicking if we don't buy. It's going to be better taking a risk on new players than the even riskier idea of not doing anything with what we've got right now. Basically, how could we be made any worse by going for "panic buys"?
Get a loan deal now... ie Giroud, Batshuyai...etc..
Go all out for Timo Werner in the Summer
not looking like we will get rid of anyone so doubt there will be any signings
Eriksen, Wanyama, KWP, Vertonghen, Rose ASAP need to go
LCB, RB, LB, DM and ST brought in
impossible this month
we are bailing out trying for loans as we have our main goalscorer and only striker out and limited numbers in midfield. its embarrassing.

You seriously think Chelsea will strengthen one of their rivals for top 4?
Werner wants to play every game. That will never happen when Kane is fit.
Get Kane fit for the Euros, let him score a few goals and pens, increase his value and sell for £150M+ to Real. Use the money to strengthen other areas. No player is bigger than the club. Even when he has bad game for us he never gets subbed and continues to try and take on defender without any pace. Great player and will be missed but we can move on without him like we did when we got the champions league final without him.
We also moved on after Bale & Modric to create the best side we have had in a generation..... Nothing last for forever
Unfortunately when we build an entire squad around one guy & put him on a pedestal in terms of his role and what we pay him its basically impossible to move forward as a club until you cash out on him. There's no balance at Spurs... Pep was 1000% right we he called us Harry Kane FC
People considering selling Kane want their heads looking at, world class centre forwards are like gold dust and we have one that guarantees 25 goals a season (when fit). Not to mention he is the England captain and extremely marketable, a Spurs lad and wanted by every club in the world.
You don`t sell your proven top class players until they are way past their best, you buy more top class players, add them to the squad and build a team capable of challenging on all fronts.
Obviously, if we expect our profit before glory owners to operate in this way, sadly we will be left disappointed.
If a stupid bid comes in for Kane, it would be silly not to sell. He’s not as good as he was 2 or 3 seasons ago and he’s become injury prone
