Spurs a just spending what they'll get for Bale so their net spend (I know it means nothing) will be very low. Does that then show a lack of ambition?


But means is everything in modern football. Yes let's live within our means but hope you are happy with mid table for a very very long time.

What is over spending? I don't consider paying 5m more on your top target when the market is paying that kind of money is over spending, may be you are under spending. If you cannot afford, fine, but, 5m more on one target is not over spending, it amounts to 1m per year in your accounts on a 5 year deal

I'm not happy with it but if it means we stay alive then it'll do for now. We could live well beyond our means and end up like Rangers if you'd prefer?

Don't get me wrong though, if some mega rich Arab wants to buy the club and spend a billion on ayers then bring it on.

Say someone was selling a car you liked but was asking £5k too much for it. Do you buy it or look around for one at the right price?

None of this worries me because none of Dembele, Siggurdsson and Dempsey were fabulous successes. And if its true that we had to fight them off for Sturridge we certainly came out best in that one too.
