Levy ready to break the bank to keep Dele Alli

[Khilari]

But Bale was 23 (I think) and had outgrown us.

Dele isn't at Bale's level yet and, as a club, we've stepped up a level.
I would seriously doubt Alli is going anywhere in the next 18 months.

After that I don't disagree with you but, and it is a big but, our circumstances as a club may have changed drastically.
The new stadium, on-going CL participation, and possible silverware may close the gap between Alli's ambition and our ability to deliver that reducing his likelihood of moving on.

Agree. Bale could see the ceiling at Spurs at the time. AVB just didn't seem like he was going to be able to take us to the next level (Champions' League, fighting at the top).

Such a shame we weren't in the position we're in now with Bale still here. We'd have won the league. He still would have left as we aren't quite yet there (but will be with the new stadium soon).

For players like Kane, Alli, Walker, Rose and now Vertonghen and Lloris, its become very clear that the culture and spirit at Spurs is incredible. Money is important but not the most important factor as we have that kind of player.

Wheeler-dealer!

You know where the article comes from, you don't need to reply at all, and your repetitive whining would suggest even to the occasional poster in here knows what your views on the DM are.

Why you persist on whining like a banshee about it is beyond me.

I was actually interested in this one.
I just hate them and I'm not alone.

We have gone a different way with our team building in the main
and I love this slow build with some of our own and youth
under a talented up and coming Manager
who himself will be subject to increasing pressure.

For the moment it is holding firm
but could easily crumble quite quickly
if we don't match our players aspirations
on the field and in their bank accounts.

Dele is a special case due to his age and quality.
Over the years I have tried not to get too attached to players.
Never had time to get attached to Managers.

We could probably get over one or two leaving
but not Kane or Dele.
They represent the new ethos at Spurs.

But you know how it is,
they meet up with Milner, Sturridge and Henderson at England gatherings
and they say 'How much!' because they're on double
and it eats away at you until something goes wrong
and then it bites the club on the rear.

Lovely poem.

Like The Sun, The Daily Mail is a purveyor of hate. This week, a decent man died: Graham Taylor's treatment at the hands of the tabloids was dreadful, but their lauding him now was despicable in the sheer brass neck.
