All these injuries are going to kill us
@Noel Lillis: time heals everything x
@Noel Lillis: how will it kill ye. Spurs were only ever going to get top four anyway. That won’t change.
@Anthony: top 4 far from guaranteed yet
Not buying anyone looked myopic then, looks blind now.
@Fergal O’Leary: we don’t have the money to buy anyone not anyone decent anyway. Id rather poch rely on acadamy players then blow ins for 20 million. Quality players these days start at 50 million.
It was a pin point cross from Alli’s replacement that set up Winks for the winner. Plenty of talent at Spurs and plenty of opportunity for younger players to come through. They are a bit immature but they’ll grow up fast. No worries.
