I felt I've been the only Spurs fan on here for ages so I'm happy a couple have come out of the woodwork. There's more than enough Irons on here anyway. ;-)

I think point being that Pochettino's net spend whilst in charge has been ?6m profit.


Leicester have spent more during the same period.


Alright, that doesn't tell the whole story- Spurs first XI at the weekend cost c.?85m compared to Leicester's c.?22m and West Ham's c.?63m.


But it still pales when put alongside City's c.?250m, United's c.?184m, Liverpool's c.?131m, Chelsea's c.?129m and Arsenal's c.?123m. (yes, i've just sat and worked all that out!).


And goodness knows how much injured players and substitutes cost for all those teams.

City and United's spending has represented unbelievably poor value. I'm not sure who is responsible for the signings at either club, but they should be sacked immediately. I suspect at City it's those Spanish blokes they got from Barcelona. Mangala and Otimendi have been useless and each cost upward of 30 million.

Sterling is turning into another Aaron Lennon/ Theo Walcott/ Tony Daley type speed merchant. Never ever worth 50 million squid.

Di Maria cost 50 odd million then was flogged a season later. Was that down to Van Ghoul?

Sterling has never been anything else. His price tag is all down to the fact that he is an English player and for some inexplicable reason they command ridiculous prices. Liverpool must be overjoyed.

Though Dele Alli only cost 5 million, Eric Dier approx the same. But I agree, English players playing in the Premier league are vastly over priced and it encourages clubs to go abroad for better value.

I think there is a lot of English talent in the lower divisions now and some Premier league clubs are taking a chance on them. Before the premier league it was commonplace to trawl the lower divisions for talent, especially as there wasn't a foreign market. Liverpool built a European cup winning squad with players from Chester (Ian Rush), Middlesborough (Souness), Northampton (Phil Neal) and the rest.

    • Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.
    • 1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.    
    • My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger.
