Guest guinness_fiend Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 They're going to bankrupt themselves at this rate We can only hope. This transfer window could be Mike Ashley's masterstroke - do not spend anything, let everyone else bankrupt themselves and get points deducted etc. and then win the league by proxy. I'd take it!

fredbob Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 They're going to bankrupt themselves at this rate I think they are spending on the basis they'll be champions league side next year. Could go horribly wrong......... or right if you hate them like I do. I think Spurs are perfectly safe to be honest - they spend what they make, dbt free so they can balance out tranfsers against revenue pretty effectively, no interest on debts etc...they're also being backed by Joe Lewis of ENIC so they've got a benefactory owner as well.

I'd take it! or a slightly more moderat version of this - let spurs etc go ballistic in their early spending spree, and then slowly secure our other targets without this media hysteria....

Not if they start offering him around other clubs, if the likes of ManU get a sniff that Spurs want to sell the price will be dampened abit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaun11177 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Joe Ledley of Cardiff looked a good left winger. Fazio is a young Argentine i think centre back and plays a bit for Sevilla. The right winger for recently relegated Zaragoza-Sergio Garcia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs don't operate at negative financial balance. Every club has liabilities but it's about whether you can balance the books at the end of the season which Spurs do. Mike Ashley removed Newcastle's operating debt when he arrived (around 70 mil I think) so neither club is at risk. It's also very unlikely that Jo Lewis would allow one of his subsidiary companies to go under without bailing them out if it ever came to that. Leeds never had a safety net of any description.

Guest Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 As a left-back, how about Joe Mattock from Leicester? Only 17-18, already in the England Under 21s, and can't see Leicester clinging onto him. Can't see him costing silly money and would mean giving Enrique a longer run in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
