First of all, if you're going to start with names like Berbascum, how can anyone take your posts seriously. What is it with you Spurs supporters, players leave, and your necks extend like a giraffe. Sol Campbell anyone?

Our top signing is Modric at £16m and that's less than what you paid for van Nistelrooy in the 90s. Also our wage structure is on a feasible business model, not the £125k a week Ronaldo gets. You can't compare.

If Spurs want to keep spending at Lidl's go ahead, if you want decent players, you'll have to start shopping at Harrods like we have to. Given the choice, I'm sure we would rather not be ripped off by clubs (including yours) by inflating the price, because of who we are. And the players we have bought at inflated prices have so far served us well, whereas you've spent significantly more in the transfer market in the last 5 years (and sold more, although your overall net is more than us) and have a carling cup to show for it.
