Spurs fan, writer, family man and intermittent English teacher.

Ex-ManoMano, ex-BetAdvisor and ex-PGL. Had a great time at all of them.

Love football, music and film but my family above all.
Technically, that will be an "on the books" profit.

Accountancy magic.

"Lead with integrity' was screwed the moment we re-employed Paratici.

We have our problems here in France but we do get some things right.

Those are both very nice.

He's not done any training for 6 months.

Can't see him being anywhere fit enough.

Aw, guys

Not if you're in a fast moving vehicle.

You're more likely to lose your hand.

"Our priority is to make signings that genuinely move us forward, and we will be disciplined against that aim."

Exactly what are the signings (note the plural) that moved us forward this month?

This is what VV said in the middle of of January:

"We are fully focused on strengthening the squad in January where the right opportunities exist, while recognising that the most significant player trading activity typically comes in summer windows. "

I was sure they gave 2 dates.

I could be wrong.

(I'm probably wrong)

The commentator seems to have forgotten there's a return leg.

I believe it is Lang (as in K.D.) and then uh.

Same as most people, you earn more changing jobs every few years than sticking to one place and receiving payrises.

It's just over a shorter career for footballers.

Name a player we should have been seriously interested in.

No, not that one.

No, not him either.
February 3, 2026 at 12:00 PM
That's not the question you should be asking.

The question that needs to be asked is, are there no other LWers we could have bought with similar money that would have been better than what we have?

Not many clubs can afford to turn down £65m.

It's been widely reported we tried for Semenyo, so clearly they felt that we needed a player for that position.

Yet we saw the window close without signing anyone in that area.

That's a failure of process.

We shouldn't have one single target.
February 3, 2026 at 11:43 AM
If the club were serious about improving the side, and that's what they told us, then they could have identified the players they want and paid the money to get them.

We have the money but clearly lacked the desire.
February 3, 2026 at 11:24 AM
Lookman would have solved an immediate problem.
February 3, 2026 at 9:45 AM
It seems like the club doesn't want to back Frank by spending money on HIS type of players.

But they also don't want to go out and buy good players that might not be ideal for TF's preferred style.

So, we basically stood still.
February 3, 2026 at 9:17 AM
This club doesn't know what it is.

Are we a coach led team where, someone like, Thomas Frank tells us who he wants and we go out and get those players.

Or

Are we a DoF led team where, someone like, Lange dictates the style of the team and buys the right players in for that style.
