Will next season be their season? >one point shy of their

I hope so. It's always nice to see a team work their way towards the top without spending billions.

They need to start winning things though. Would be a shame if Spurs' best ever team ends up with fuck all.

>>75226376

They've done a great job at slowly building a solid team, yes. Too bad they spent most of the Bale money on shit signings, though.

if they bought kante this offseason, they'd be winning it all now

>>75226441
If they bought Messi they'd be winning it now.

>>75226459
not exactly the same thing, ameriturd

>>75226435
Spurs spent 8 (eight) million pounds on Vlad Chiriches.

Not even a Spurs fan, but I really hope they manage to keep their talents this summer. Would be enraging if any of them went to Chelsea or City.

>All those hot young stars
hmmmm

>>75226471
It's just stupid to say "If Spurs had signed a player who they had no chance of signing then they would be better". Kante chose between Chelsea and Man United, Spurs were never in the equation.

>>75226518
yeah but i hope you understand kante would mean more for this spurs squad than messi, as stupid as that sounds

>>75226526
They already have the best defence in the league

>>75226482
well they did get 4.5m of it back with their jew magic. so they only really lost 3.5m plus wages, not that big of a deal for a PL club

Just taking the good times as they come, it's nice to be playing well as a team with players who all seem genuinely happy with being at the club at the current time.

It's amazing how much has changed, even since Bale has left. Pic related feels a long, long time ago.

>>75226611

That's a lot of wasted money.

Eriksen was the only solid buy there, an amazing signing for the fee. Shame that Lamela is permaded and Chadli also, because at times he did have his moments. All the rest were a total waste of money.

Related question: at what point do we start calling them the next Arsenal? Top 4 but never champions etc.

>>75226711
Maybe after another two seasons of being in the top-four? That being said, they've improved so much since two seasons ago anything could happen.

>>75226361
Literally a meme team of chokers.

>>75226711
They've only made the top 4 once in the past 5 years....maybe once they do it a few times.

>>75226361
Next season they play in Wembley, so nope

Last season was their season and they fucked it up.

>>75226877
Last season was Arsenal's season. If you asked somebody in 2015 "Chelsea, Man United, and Man City all collapse. Who wins the league?", they definitely wouldn't say Spurs.

>>75226899
This desu senpai

>>75226899
How do I fall for the Arsenal meme every year? Every single year they start strong and play beautiful futbol. Makes me sad desu.

>>75226711
If they do the same shit next season, being a scummy club that qualifies for European championships but does nothing in them

>>75226991
>Arsenal
>beautiful futbol

This hasn't been the case since like 2011.

>>75226435

The Eriksen buy for 11.5m or whatever it was was worth the other mistakes.

The other players they either recouped 50%+ (Paulinho, Chiriches, Capoue) or made money selling the player on (Chadli).

All in all they probably got their moneys worth given Eriksen is a 50m player in today's money.

>>75226482

In the grand scheme, that's not even the worst purchase recently for Spurs. Soldado and Sissoko were busts and even Paulinho was pretty underwhelming

>>75227007
>being a scummy club
You talking about Arsenal or Spurs here?

>>75227042
This.
>inb4 goal vs norwich

Reminder that Soldado >>> Janssen in transfer both value for money and goals

>>75226361
little international experience and lack of bench depth means that next season will be quite bad for them.

>>75227140
People said the same thing last year

dunno why but I despise Spurs

maybe it's because their gameplan boils down to pressing and committing niggly fouls and then hoping Kane/Alli/Eriksen scores

>>75227192
And CL/EL was quite bad for them.

Dumbass.

>>75227351
Aren't we talking about the league though?

>>75227383
It's easier to win the league if you don't have international cups (Chelsea and Lestah are the prove of that).

>>75226361

If they manage to figure out how to play in Wembley (which I highly doubt), then they will win the league.


Their only possible year is this year if Chelsea collapse, otherwise don't expect them to get any titles. They're pretty much done for.

any starters likely to leave this summer?

>>75228958
Alderweireld is a possibility because so many rich clubs need a CB (Man City, Barcelona, and Man United). But other than that, probably not. Maybe in a year or two you might see the English guys try to leave. Kane's eventual move to Man United/Man City is basically inevitable.

>>75226361
I hope so. Genuinely likable team, even if they did collectively chimp out against Chelsea last season
