We're not comparable to Spurs.

Hasn't done Spurs too much harm?
Moussa Sissoko, £30million. Total, total flop.

None whatsoever.
Panic buys to appease desperate fans. Has even led to Levy making almighty cock ups.

Spurs can afford to do it because they already have a PL ready squad full of top line players unlike us.

I think spurs approach generally works. Theyve made mistakes but they don't spend ridiculous amounts of money and when they do at least it isn't in positions they don't really need someone.
I think our activity in the transfer market so far has been brilliant. Suttner and Gross are top additions in positions we needed. We replaced Stockdale quickly. And our defence looks premiership ready. To me the way the window works we've still plenty of time.

You don't pay their wages until they sign. FFP

Silly old bat
The player you've been waiting for is now available, because the selling team has got their replacement in.

Stupid IDIOT
Glenn Murray or Vincent Janzen 
Or, the one you are after has now been sold to your rival because you didn't act quickly and decisively enough.

The man who has changed Spurs is Pochetino. His training methods and his style of play and adaptable systems are what has brought them success - Their training methods August to November differ massively from their training methods December to May all adapted to fit into their match playing schedule.
Their success and failure in the transfer market is mixed but the Purchase of Victor Wanyama means that they control the midfield in many games they play; however overall, their transfer market dealings are totally mixed just like a lot of clubs.

I'd like to see us 'play' the market like Spurs but there is a skill to it and it remains to be seen if we are capable of doing that. Fact is this market is crazy but not investing isn't an option either. Waiting to the end of the window only really works if you have players good enough to cope if you cannot get in the players you want. Not sure we are in that position currently...
