Lack of ambition or good business, you decide.

[yid4life]

Ok so the transfer window has closed and Berba's finally gone, so lets look at who's come in and who's gone. Some of the prices i've estimated so help me out lads if i've got some of them wrong,

First team players out

Tainio -2m
Chimbo - 4m
Keane - 20m
Gardner - 2.5m
Malbranque - 5m
Kaboul - 6m
Robinson - 3.5m
Berba - 30.75m

Total of £73.75m

The above total doesnt include transfer of YPL, loans or reserve player transfers, so you could say another 2m on top of that

First team players in

Bostock - 700k
GDS - 4.7m
Modric - 15.8m
Gomes - 7.8m
Bentley - 15m
Sanchez - have no idea nominal probably
Pav - 13.8m
Corluka - 8.5m
Campbell - part of Berba deal

Total of £66.3m

So effectively spurs are in the black by £7.45m

I personally feel its a lack of ambition, but what do you guys thinks?

[Ioang]

I think we need to wait a few hours, tottenham always announce players hours after the window closes. Tell you tomorrow!

looks like a lack of ambition, we had money to spend on arshavin or veloso or even both but we didnt spend it on them.

[mjbmedia]

we're shit. the boards shit, only the fans are any good and theyre constantly ripped off and treated like shit.

I tell you im so glad i dont go anymore and dont have a season ticket, id be demanding a refund, ****ing total waste of money, and im never gonna go again while this shit is around the club.

We're pretenders, and piss poor ones at that.

its so true. we could have got a world class player in arshavin but we **** around wheras as utd pay whatever it takes to get their man:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[corkspur]

really thought that when i woke this morning i was going to hear that spurs have made some dramatic late signings,but no.dont know how i feel now to be honest! campbell might prove to be a usefull player,if we give him a chance,but cant help feeling that we are going to be a bit of a soft touch this season.we will probably have a bad first half of the season and then make some huge signings in january,which is too late!why do spurs have to always leave things so late in the transfer window?a season that promised so much is going to be a long and drawn out bore!

[Shuggie13]

How about we look at this differently.

Tainio & Malbranque replaced by Modric & Bently

Chimbo replaced by Hutton & Gunter last January

Gardner & Kaboul replaced by Woodgate (Jan) & Corluka

Robinson replaced by Gomes

Keane & Berbatov replaced by Pav.

Plus added GDS, Bostock & Campbell (loan)

With the obvious exception of the strikers who to a certain extent were irreplaceable not only individually but as a proven strikeforce in the PL,

I personally feel its far from a lack of ambition.

[LEEBOYSPUR]

Agree with Shuggie. We have strengthened in all areas bar up front, but that in itself is the key worry. We have lost our most potent strikeforce for a decade. Instant telepathy between strikers is rare, but Keane/Berbatov had it.

Personally, I would've kept Kaboul.

[spurs61]

Well that was a complete let down of a transfer window.

We sell our two best players, strikers who get us 40 plus goals a season and replace them with one Russian (good) and a United reserve. Do you get the impression that Commolli couldn’t successfully complete a transaction in a brothel with a £50 note tied to his cock?

I wouldn’t blame Ramos if he walked away form the club, he expected David Villa or Arshavin and ends up with Frasier Campbell. Oh and both Corluka and Pav are cup tied in Europe, I bet the thought of Darren Bent and Frasier Campbell has the rest of the UEFA Cup protagonists shaking in their boots.

[wayne wonder]

Im fuming today what a total **** up as per usual we're so dumb!! this year alone we've sold defoe, keane and that **** and we replace them with pav(fair enough) and some kid who'll be going back to man u a btter player. GREAT once again we get dry humped by them.

It got to the point last night that i would have taken ashton, heskey, owen any of them it was so desperate we need some answers and fast

[bocayid]

I am not always the most optimistic on this forum...usually err on the side of caution...but I am not too disheartened.

Berbas gone...its done,history and tbh whatever our feelings about him,a player that doesn't want to be at a club is no use to them...remember we as fans talk about loyalty ..etc...but we are like the romantic trying to find love in a brothel...it aint gonna happen.

Keano always gave 100% for us and as for the badge kissing...come on does anyone doubt he didn't care....its a spur of the moment thing and altho some players are cynical i dont for one moment put robbie in that box.

And despite citys new fortune and signings....it aint fantasy footy..the balance and dynamic of the team must be right...sure money helps but they have won nothing yet lets reserve judgement.

Campbell could be good for us..he's young ...should be hungrey and have something to prove....

if ramos can get the balance right I wouldn't write us off just yet.....

[Shuggie13]

It got to the point last night that i would have taken ashton, heskey, owen any of them it was so desperate we need some answers and fast

I agree but out of desperation we would have been taking two injury prone players or Heskey, who personally I think would have done a good job with Bent in Europe.

Ashton would have been my preference. But the Pikeys weren't selling even for a Caravan park full of sparkling new caravans.

But lets hope we can keep up with the rest until at least jan and then get someone in to bolster the squad i feel we need a squad of at least 25 players. Striker, left mid and defensive mid and IF we could keep key players fit who knows what we could do.

[Ioang]

We're ****ing TOTTENHAM! We always have firepower, we're always attacking, we always (aim to) score more one than the other team... losing this great strikeforce is worrying, even if we win a load of games 1-0, we're gonna struggle to kill games off.

I guess if we want to play 1 up front then we have 3 different combinations, a lot like last season, but still. Worried. I was 100% confident to wake up to another signing.

[fluke]

We should all have come to learn since the sale of Carrick that a club is always better off holding the player than the cash. It isn't the boards fault that a new culture has emerged that players do not have to adhere to a contract. The best they can hope for is as much cash as possible but this puts teams like us on a treadmill of mediocrity, as we are always deficient in some areas. I still would have kept Berbatov in the reserves to make the point. Who gets to sulk there way out of a legally binding contract? It's bullshit.

Overall I'm disappointed in yesterdays proceedings. If Diarra would have come on board I think it would have made a huge difference.

Bottom line is that we are a well run club from a fiscal perspective and should be grateful that we are. However this is not an accounting competition for the fans. So until we get our oil ty****, arms dealin', people persecutin', Russian escort shaggin', richer than God owner, we'll have to deal with disappointments and an occasional Carling cup win.

Some on here don't want to deal with these realities. They may appease themselves by saying how much Berbatov will suck and fail at United. Spin it that Frazier Cambell is an adequate replacement. That Ledley King will play every game. That Darren Bent will come good (he just needs a run). That Aaron Lennon will learn how to cross. That Giovanii Dos Santos will start lifting weights and drinking protein shakes, so he doesn't get blown off the ball by a slight breeze. That Jermain Jenas will not miss an open goal from three yards ever again. That we appoint a vice captain sounds like he's gone through puberty. That our players stop attending nightclubs in the home counties, that our home kits stop looking like yer grandads vest.....................

Its good that you have added it all up...

But we have nothing to look forward to this season now... We spent £70 million, But never strengthend our weakest areas apart from a goal keeper... We have sold the best strike force in the PL away...

Great post mate, great post and I think you are spot on.

And I think the Berba deal is a great one for us, business wise and moving forward on the pitch. I think he has been an awful influence on the dressing room, he's been utterly disgraceful when you think of his behaviour, and not just the flat performances that surely effected the team around him. I could have smacked him when he would throw his hands up when someone made a decent effort but it just didn't work out. What will that do to the other players when a big player is doing that. F*ck him the ****.

Not one player is irreplaceable as far as your team goes, bar maybe Maradona at Napoli, lol, but I'm not sure he was even human. And in all seriousness they never ran their club properly.

Onwards and upwards, it is far too early to make judgements at this stage.

He was human. He was just extremely coked up all the time, that's why he's got all the heart problems now. Coke makes you feel like you're on top of the world or invincible and in turn you'll act like it or in his case play like it.

Ah come on, coke doesn't give you inhuman ability with a football. If anything the coke took away from what he could do. Coke might make you FEEL invincible but it does nothing for your coordination and physical fitness and that would make most people fall flat on their arse, much like Mutu until he cleaned up and got his career back on track.

Bostock's not in the first team squad.

Woodgate replaced Dawson in the team. In essence we've lost 3 CBs(including Rocha) and gained a utility player, one who is cup-tied in Europe.

In Europe our striking options are one experienced striker and a loan player in his first top level season.

The midfield needed some extensive strengthening and the forward line some serious firepower(4 renowned strikers have become 2). Keane's not irreplaceable and wasn't replaced.

It's a team that will finish 8th and be swatted away by the top quality clubs.

[jeremysm]

From a distant Spurs follower, here is my viewpoint:

We tied with Chelsea on Sunday. Chelsea is clearly the class of the PL, if not #1 then #2. We then go out and add top notch striker, Corluka as well as a backup/promising striker (albeit for a year).

Adding these players clearly makes the squad better and allows Ramos to move some other players around to more comfortable positions (ie Zokora). Yeah, I would have liked Spurs to get another player or two, but Ramos is still feeling things out and will know more by January as to who plays best and where..then he will have cash to pounce and beat others to the punch.

All this being said, I am very satisfied with the team's heart in the Chelsea match and having added a couple more starters it should be even better. Give them a chance--it was just a few weeks ago when everyone thought that Spurs could make it to top 4 (post Roma match). 2 solid weeks of practice before the next game will help too....

Thats one way to put it. Anther would be that we have gained from their departure! Gardner, Kaboul and Rocha!!

Well Kaboul had potential and we could live to regret that one.

I still think we have a better sqaud (when most are fit) than Villa and Man City but it will be close with those two. Dont assume they will finish above us, they might but its not exactly clear cut is it? Expectation changes everything - lets see how Man City do in the next few games.

You need to remember that only one team looked likely to win the game. Someone claimed that Chelsea could have been 4 or 5 up at HT, a great exaggeration, but it could have been 2 nil. The final figures were 14-2 shots on goal. We didn't so much match them as dig out a result.

Experienced, quality players generally don't become available in January. We got 2 this year but that's very unusual. The year before we got Ghaly and Murphy.

The only stats that mattered was the scoreline...and it was 2 each on target.

If we had 12 attempts and chavski 8 and they won 2-1 you would be saying the reverse. No pleasing some people...:p

[LifeTimeYido]

You need to check how many were actually on target.

We were never going to win it - but we played a good game, and they ran out of attacking ideas in the end.

We matched them pretty well i thought.

We played a counter attacking game and could have won it in the end. Come the last twenty minutes they had run out of ideas and we were hitting them with some dangerous breaks, one where Bale was nearly in, the resulting free kick, another where Bent was almost slotted in and another where Carvalho just got a block that he didn't know much about on a Hudd shot that was travelling goalward at pace and bending away from Cech.

They had lots of chances too, more chances, but it could have gone either way and we played well, soaked it up and there were larger spaces for us to exploit on the break and we nearly did.

I'm not saying it was a great performance but it was good, we've had some problems and we were short of options but we are improving and gelling and have bolstered the squad with three needed players.

Many of the new players need time and the team needs to settle into how it wants to play and gain success. Ramos is a great manager and will improve this team gradually and powerfully. That's what top managers do.

Cynical, and even if it is true and I don't think it is as he doesn't come across as a callous man and is well known as a fan himself, the way to increase the value of the club is to not just do good business but it is also to speculate to accumulate and that means improving the staff and facilities on a continual basis.

Shots on goal reflect how dominant they were in attacking areas. It can illustrate how inefficient your attack is, but I thought if reflected how Chelsea dominated the game in midfield.

[Defoe8]

Ok so the transfer window has closed and Berba's finally gone, so lets look at who's come in and who's gone. Some of the prices i've estimated so help me out lads if i've got some of them wrong,

First team players out

Tainio -2m
Chimbo - 4m
Keane - 20m
Gardner - 2.5m
Malbranque - 5m
Kaboul - 6m
Robinson - 3.5m
Berba - 30.75m

Total of £73.75m

The above total doesnt include transfer of YPL, loans or reserve player transfers, so you could say another 2m on top of that

First team players in

Bostock - 700k
GDS - 4.7m
Modric - 15.8m
Gomes - 7.8m
Bentley - 15m
Sanchez - have no idea nominal probably
Pav - 13.8m
Corluka - 8.5m
Campbell - part of Berba deal

Total of £66.3m

So effectively spurs are in the black by £7.45m

I personally feel its a lack of ambition, but what do you guys thinks?

We got rid alot of the deadwood at the club - Plus
Lost Keane (we had no choice) but got 20 mill for him - Plus
Lost Berba (we had no choice) but got 30 mill for him - Plus
Brought in a creative midfielder in Modric - Plus
Bought in one of Barca's best youngsters in Santos - Plus
Have a set piece taker and a winger that can cross in Bentley - Plus
Brought in very good defensive cover in Corluka - Plus
Bought in one of the top scorers at Euro 08 - Plus

Lost a versatile player in Tano - Minus
No world class DM player - Minus

So i'd say it's been a pretty good transfer window for us and we had no choice but to sell Keano/Berba so to get 50 mill for the 2 i'd say that's a brilliant piece of business. Major cudos to the club!!

I was almost gladdened we didn't bust a gut to win this one. A point is what everybody would have taken before the start and Ramos felt it was a good result and made some substitutions to that effect. We would be pushing our luck to go all out for the win. Bring on Villa!

This quote is from official Spurs web site, comments by Damien Commoli...

It was always our intention to continue to invest in the team. For the record, our spend this summer was in the region of £77m and we brought in £72m in player sales. We were fully prepared to spend further, but quality players remain hard to secure.

So, where did we spent 11m pounds more ?????
