TRANSFER TALK
It is a problem fans know about and understand, or we should. Spurs former director of football Damien Comolli (2005 - 2008) talked about it yesterday, quotes from Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata about it today.
“Morata talked about myself, in the media he said ‘Mauricio called me’. That was two years ago or more.
“He said to me: ‘Why do you want me if you have Harry Kane? You know, if you go to try to sign a striker, they will say: ‘eh gaffer, you want me for what? To be on the bench? I can’t compete with Harry Kane or Hugo Lloris or different players.’
“It’s so difficult to convince good players to come and then be on the bench. Then the problems start.”
Try telling our fans that it is difficult to bring a quality player to Spurs, they seem to think you only have to throw money around and everyone will come running. If they did they would be here for the wrong reasons, as QPR found out when they paid crazy salaries for their income for a season in a gamble to cement a Premier League place. It backfired and they are still trying to recover having had to sell player and rebuild using lesser talents and reducing the wage bill for years to come.
Given the financial constraints, Manchester United £515m turnover, Tottenham £210m turnover, stadium expenditure and the fact we therefore have to work with a wages budget vastly less than all our rivals, finding two world class stars some fans are calling for is virtually impossible.
Rising stars who may become world class stars are another matter but as we have seen lately, youngsters think they have made it when they have only just started their careers. many seem to want an elite club for the prestige of being there then wonder why they aren't being picked.
