@DukeBarrister@ErikSlater_ Nah. You have to go with the best player available/highest upside with a team like ours. Brown was the best player on the USA U19 team that featured a bunch of guys who got drafted today, including AJ Dybantsa.
@TheCrypto21@KrrishFT That's an investment issue. It's easy to look like development geniuses when you buy 16 and 17 year olds like Bellingham, Vini, Estevão, Echeverri, and Rodrygo for £25-45mm. We still don't take that level of swing on the best 16-17 talent. We roll the dice with £1.6mm on Meliá.
@TheCrypto21@KrrishFT His second year was far worse than his first. Tottenham purchased him for £8.5 million, and two and a half years later will sell him for £50 mm.
What a financial rube you would be considered if you bought a fixer-upper house for £850,000 and sold it 2.5 years later for £5 mm.
@ScottyTalksToon You also must consider overall value. Re: etimates, w/ the new stadium, Tottenham's worth £3 billion. If they still had WH Lane, estimates say their enterprise value would be ~£1.5 billion. That alone is worth the stadium price tag - which is further reduced by write-offs.
@ScottyTalksToon Such ignorance about economics. Debt is not the metric here. It's how much revenue you make (£565 mm) vs what it costs to service the debt annually (£28 mm). Levy locked in long-term financing when interest rates were low & created a global entertainment venue that prints money.
@banterdan@InvertTheWing The kid looks the part coming out of the tunnel, but he's been so underwhelming on the pitch. I'm not sure what people people see in him.
@PHQ420@LizzySavetsky@VP You can't do research to discover how much exclusive military technology, testing info, and intelligence we get from Israel? That's on you.
@deepwebslinger The same snowflakes who are immediately triggered by anything that threatens their anti-woke MAGA performance art ARE THE SAME PEOPLE who can't figure out they are being duped by AI. This is who you're running with - people with sub 90 IQs who have zero nuance or discernment.
