Why should we expect our owner to waste his money on buying players? It's not like he's a life long saints fan. He's clearly bought the club as an investment in the basis that football clubs appreciate in value at a rate that is out of kilter with the real world. He's trying to sell and isn't going to throw any money away at this point and who can blame him? As depressing as it is watching other clubs spend loss more, unfortunately the reality is that we don't generate the same commercial revenues as a lot of other clubs and our owner isn't going to dip into his pockets. What we can do is spend money wisely, but unfortunately we've not done that either and until we deal with the consequences of overpaid bad signings things aren't going to improve unless someone with deep pockets comes along and buys the club.

There has been so many: boufal, carillo, hoedt, vestergaard, Gunn, elyuseless, lemina to name a few. Depressing that those responsible weren't stopped sooner

Perhaps we are still suffering from the sh1te that Hughes bought???? Not many clubs backed so many managers with a load of duff signings over such a short period of time

What is the high line all about?? We have a keeper who is shit with his feet and indecisive so can't play as a sweeper and 2 slow centre backs. Absolutely shocking. Bad tactics has lost this game for us

Shooting on target would be an improvement on Hojbjerg

Being skint doesn't matter to the majority of fans and spurs fans aren't exactly known for being the rational or realistic... I'm just surprised there isn't a major spurs meltdown going on based on a lack of ambition, etc, etc

I just cant really understand why... He's at best a bang average player at a (this season) mid table club and they have ambitions of a top 4 place and winning trophies. Still let them believe they got a good deal and that KWP isnt the better player :)

Unless salisu is expected to take his starting spot and bednarek has asked his agent to find him a move... Or the Austrian chap (or another CB) is joining

I'll give you that he's poor in transition, but I don't think he's positionally poor when we're defending. Just woefully inept in possession which leads to him being out of position as you say when he inevitably loses the ball or turns possession over. It still begs the question what exactly are spurs getting for their money?

Right now hojbjerg is exactly what spurs want, but I can't help feeling that when mourinho is gone he'll be a forgotten man (particularly as levy tends to select the opposite sort of manager to what he's just had). He's great against the ball, he's disciplined, works hard, wins the ball back well, etc. This is what makes him a player that mourinho wants and what made him so effective when we were trying to grind out results last year. However, he's entirely limited on the ball, he's ponderous, his passing forward is bang average at best and his shooting is awful. The next progression in Ralf's master plan is about being effective with the ball - something that hojbjerg just isn't good enough at, which is why he had looked so poor in the latter part of the season. IMO we're well shot of him and the fee feels like we've done very good business.

If I was hojbjerg I would be starting to question whether spurs really wanted me or whether they saw me as a squad filler they can get on the cheap. If they see him as essential to their plans next season the £25m is still a good deal. I wonder if this one is going to go the way of so many other supposed spurs signings and we'll end up keeping hojbjerg next year. I seem to remember a similar amount of fannying about over grealish

Off the ball Hojbjerg is very hard working, disciplined and works well in our system, which is my guess as to why our manager likes him. On the ball it's a completely different thing. He would do very well in a slower league - his brain and his natural instincts just aren't up to the pace of the game in the premier league when he has the ball and as a consequence is ponderous and frequently misplaces passes unless they are in the direction he is facing. His shooting is woeful. Attitude wise he runs around a lot which in the relegation scrap last year was really valuable, but as we've got better and are looking upwards he's looked more and more limited. I'm not sure he's an Idrissa Gueye replacement, more of a poor man's morgan schneiderlin (as mentioned above). I guess he's young and could improve, but I suspect he's more cut out for a different league. IMO if we get £25m plus we've robbed you or Spurs.

Hojberg is such a waste of a space. Thank fuck for Danny ings

Hojberg and vestergard both showing why we will be best off without both of them. Not exactly putting themselves in the shop window though...

Redmond looks absolutely terrified to lose the ball - shocking performance from him going forward.

KWP now responsible for 2 goals. Too narrow both times.

Won that cleanly. Absolute shambles from the ref and var

Good I hate Everton. Done absolutely nothing and then score playing anti football.

Amazing performance!! Superb goal for che and brilliant defending - especially from Stephens and KWP

Unbelievable. And some people say we don't need a new keeper

The way the majority of premier League footballers have behaved in all this has really turned my stomach and for gary lineker to ask why footballers are being targeted and not CEOs, when CEOs are working harder than anyone to save jobs and their companies beggars belief. What exactly is it that footballers are doing right now to deserve their millions?? **** all is what... I knew football has been rotten for ages, I just hadn't realised how much I despised those involved in the game I love. Sent from my HRY-LX1 using Tapatalk

I'm very suspicious about United despite their global fanbase. They have spunked a lot of money away without any champions League income...a Sent from my HRY-LX1 using Tapatalk
