We're all waiting for the 1st of July because we all believe that maybe that's when it will kick off.
But let's say, look, for years we criticised Tottenham for the same thing, really. We don't move quickly. We haggle over every deal. We haggle over every penny. We identify a player, we spend weeks and weeks negotiating, and then we wonder why another club gets in there first. Now, look at this summer, yeah? We bring in... Senesi, Robertson. We bring in... What's his name? Van Hecker. And now we're moving for Tenali, Fernandes and maybe Sevigno. They're great footballers, but every single one of these deals... at the moment, is looking incredibly difficult. How long have we been talking about Savino? A year since last summer. And then we were looking at him again in January. And we're still talking about it.
How difficult can the deal be? What happens if none of them happen? I mean, I believe we're going to get one across the line. I really do. But what happens if none happen? It's fantastic having ambitious targets. And it's great for this club to be linked with 100 million pound and 18 million pound footballers because it's something we've not done. We ask for ambition. If we had 60 million pound to spend, we'd be buying like, you know, three players for 20 million pound and hoping for the best. But hopefully, you know, now we're going for these big players. But ambition without execution means absolutely fuck all, doesn't it? You know, the ambition is great. Only if you bloody deliver. If Fernandes ends up going to Man United, if Tenali decides he's going to stay, then what?
Seriously, then what? Do Tottenham have a plan B? Do you trust this lot to have a plan B? We didn't have a good plan B or plan C in the summer window. Are we going to spend another six weeks chasing impossible deals before panicking? And at the last minute in the window, like we normally do, go for a player because that's the only one that's left and is available. If they've already identified the second choice, then I'm hoping that they're talking to them because I don't want all our eggs in one basket. I don't really want our fourth choice, let's be honest. I hope if we go get our first choice, we're getting our second choice, especially for Deserby because he deserves, after what he's done, he deserves a good transfer window.
Listen... Big clubs have plan B. Liverpool do, Man City do, everyone does, right? I mean, more often than not, they get their plan A. But we, having finished 17th, we've got to fight for it. But does Johan Lang already know who he's going for? Do you believe that he's capable of spinning more than one plate?
