Finally found our Shelvey replacement

Give over man, boring as fuck.

We didn’t bid anywhere near that amount. Trust me.

We started with a shed and had to buy a house next to it. Liverpool, man United etc had mansions and decided to change their kitchen.

I’d rather keep Bruno than have mbappe 😉

So personally, I don't think that will get us there either. But that's just my own opinion, guess we'll find out in the next 10 years.

05/06 they did. They were a top 5 team back in the 80's too.

I've only got it wrong in your opinion like I'm talking about selling Bruno is likely (in the short term) to make our team worse. People are openly discussing selling him to Man City in January.

It's only 4 or 5 pages back.

Yes, but anything you invest over that puts pressure on future years. It's not sustainable. You need the absolute perfect scouting model.

So how much are people expecting us to spend on Bruno's replacement? Given people are suggesting we accept 60-70m for him?

Not that there are many of them out there like Could do with Man City having another Palmer we don't know about.

Ok, so you're using the Bale example I guess? Here's who Spurs signed after selling Bale: Capoue Chadli Chiriches Eriksen Lamela Paulinho Soldado They only had one success in that transfer I would say, in Eriksen (£11m?). So their strategy wasn't to sell big and buy big, it was to sell big and spread their net wide with cheaper options, hoping one would come good. Again, who is the example of them selling big and buying big?

How does the Spurs example work then? Bale at £10m, Modric at £15m. Both happened after Spurs were a top 6 team (from 05/06). Who were they buying for big money and selling for bigger money before that year out of interest?
