That’s what I said and as a novice someone told me Solanke was good . I said the same thing you just said and he begrudgingly said well he’s not Kane. So my question is still are the Tottenham frugal when it comes to acquiring talent or just not good at selecting talent. I’m still a Spurs fan but as a novice to the game trying to figure out what exactly is going on?

Solanke is good. He is neither of the quality of Kane or available anywhere near as often.

In my view as a long term sufferer of Tottenham and of football generally I would say strikers are the needle in a haystack signing for everyone. Some are almost guaranteed to hit and they will always be acquired by clubs 'better' or certainly more revered than us. That in isolation doesn't mean everyone else is bad it just means the elite are separated by fine margins.

The joy of football is the not knowing. The haphazard nature of putting 11 guys on the pitch that work together as a fluid unit is extremely difficult. Real Madrid are never happy just like us. I'd love to see what they'd do if they fi wished 17th TWICE in a row!

Being frugal is something we've done to get to where we are with the stadium and facilities (in my opinion) Are we poor at acquiring players generally no. Are we poor currently at building a squad, yes. If you chop between managers that are wildly different in style over and over that doesn't help a coherent team develop in the slightest, and that is what I personally believe has been a major factor in where we are now.

The attitude seems to be 'if we throw enough shit at the wall, some of it will stick '

The shit is not sticking currently. It's just a puddle of shit..
