Like a new signing!

Look, if someone told you in 2023 that we were going to spend £40m someone that would have more bench performances than starts in the next 2 seasons, would we be excited? He has largely done well when called upon, and he wilm come in handy next season, but that doesn't mean that it was necessarily an efficient way of spending. And to be clear, when I say questionable, I only mean one that you could maybe question. Here's what transfermarkt has to say about player values: Barnes percieved value hasn't gone up in years. It is rated at 35m euros. Pedros value has been going up and he's rated at 50m currently. Do you think the top clubs are more likely to want Barnes (when we bought him) for 40m than Pedro for 60m? Pedros type is more sought after, and is why we faced more competition for him. Transfermarkt isn't perfect, but it's less biased than fans of the teams that the players are in.

I get what you are saying but if the owners wanted to push some Saudi sponsors through you could easily put £10m through on a one or two year contract now and then up it to £20m once that brand has grown in the future. Better than nothing and just shows that they don't have the desire to fully maximise their revenues for whatever reason.

Is anyone really that bothered that this 1 didn't happen. The lad seems like a bit of a tit to be honest. Happy to go and sit on Chelsea's bench so he can spend his money in London ffs. He was probably thinking he didn't fancy Bruno and Big Joe telling him to sort out his shite every week. Not fussed at all that he's knocked us back.

he was really bad, yeah. One of the worst I’ve seen play for us. He didn’t even try to defend crosses and was responsible for a goal going in practically every game for a while. Going forward he just… didn’t. Always passed it back or 5 yards to the side. He never had any confidence at all.

Agree, was very odd last season when with the media making out it was some big achievement they got back in CL, as if they hadn't just spent a billion quid!

Yep nailed on

The coward will be one of their main twats on there, I'd put money on it

Aye he did but he also knows Sima has thousands of posts on there all very confusing

Not sure about number one but by all accounts, he's a massive number two.

I'm certain Ruxpin said he didn't bother with their forum when he first emerged

Tbf, he is the only one that literally never misses a match.

Tent staycation in his mam’s yard. She brings him ham and pease pudding stotties, a Blue Riband, carton of Um Bongo and Space Raiders for his packed lunch.

So I didn't actually say you would be relegated. More bullshit Ruxpin . How long before you piss off again like the coward you are

Im not referring to external sponsors. I'm talking about related party ones.

Maybe they're waiting for a few resolutions regarding PL clubs v the Premier League before deciding a longer term strategy. That's all I've got, otherwise, what the fuck are they waiting for

It's that kind of graft that got him to number one.

Thank you, lord thank you. It’s as jarring as when Americans say “I could care less”.

Its not the big ticket stuff that sponsors are clamouring for but as debated we have had none at all for years. The club were actively looking as mentioned in the fan stuff last year. Unless we can sign something massive to make up for it holding out now for say 10m a season when we could have got say 4m 3 seasons ago (just to confirm plucking figures out if fresh air here). Also as debated previously signing something short term as a stop gap unless it would be used as a way to limit a new deal down the line could have helped the bottom line in the here and now.

Thats the thing init. Spurs training ground and kit is 20 million a year. We would probably be allowed half that. As Eales and Silverstone said, we shouldn't undersell ourselves atm by rushing into sponsorship deals. We should grow our brand and then sell ourselves when the brand is at its peak. From a fan perspective we will say let take 10 million now and re negotiate later as the brand grows. From a business perspective that makes no sense whatsoever.

Exactly.

They’ll have been tapping him up for a year. We need to box clever with Isak as those slippery cunts will be trying to grease him.

Was it something along the lines of "We don't want to accept any old offer as to undervalue the opportunity?" Which is absolutely fine if / when a mega offer comes along further down the road.

So he's playing... chess?
