The Palace Fan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 About time I reckon, they ran the risk of losing a lot of players under the old wage structure and would have drifted away from others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 They should be able to afford competitive wages, there's no reason other than some old fashioned principles that they've penny pinched for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 It's really good work by Tottenham Hotspur to be sorting out the club's immediate competitive future even with the rebuilding of White Hart Lane. Whereas at Arsenal we were losing our top players in a similar vein of moving home to nearby Ashburton Grove. They're not committing the same errors or aren't cashing in whatever the scenario was back then at Arsenal FC. It doesn't mean that any of these much publicised individuals won't leave in the future, but it has definitely given the club a powerful working scope so as to not be bullied by Europe's elite clubs.

I think both Arsenal and us can serve as lessons to clubs who get in that weird spot where they're better than most of the league but not quite ready to win a fight for a CL spot consistently. At some point, Spurs had to be more flexible with their seemingly immovable wage budget if they want to keep progressing. Kane is their best talent since Bale, and is more of a talisman to them. This is a good sign for Spurs & I'm sure @Storts is delighted. I know I would be if I were in his shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 10, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted June 10, 2018 I can't see their other players being annoyed at the breaking of the wage structure when he's clearly their best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's earning in the same region (from the season just ended figures) as: Lionel Messi Cristiano Ronaldo Andrés Iniesta Neymar Antoine Griezmann I would say he's in there... Somewhere in between those names as a game changing individual and deserves his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But indeed I'm being sarcastic and putting forward all the elements required from a player that would substantiate earning that amount of money which puts him in an individualistic league of other top earners in the sport and from there we are justified in making comparisons. Of course, those who would be pro-Özil could argue that he's been in a team that's been underperforming for god knows how long but then again in the same vein we could argue against that in the sense of asking HIM whether or not he's comfortable? That word being thrown at him (comfortable) I would say is the apt one. It's not his fault though, but those that had the power at the time to formulate his current contract. Nobody came in with any offers during the final year of his contract. Nobody with anything substantial that would've turned his head by comparison on what he was already on, what he knew he could be offered and what could make the deciding factor an easier one to accept for Arsenal. Also throw into the ring the fact that we have been selling our "big" names for a number of years and the backlash the club could accumulate on top of everything else if something wasn't made evident. Remember there are a lot of idiotic fans at every club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Kane should've done a Bale and forced a move to Real Madrid. Tottenham fans would've still loved him and he'd actually have a chance of winning something. Unlike Bale I think he would've actually suited the way Real Madrid want to play as well. With him staying though it'll be interesting to see if Tottenham are finally capable of living up to the hype around them and Pochettino. The golden period for Tottenham has resulted in the same thing as a normal period for Tottenham. Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
