Tottenham boss Thomas Frank on trying to sign Semenyo - transfer market 'not like Football Manager'

[Rad]

I'm still in shock about the transfer window drama at Spurs . I mean, come on, it's not like Football Manager where you can just swap players like they're tokens . The real-life market is way more complicated, and I feel for Frank and the lads trying to navigate it all . I'm with him on focusing on long-term decisions rather than just patching things up in the short term – we need some real progress at Spurs before we get carried away with fan demands . Still, 62.5m for Semenyo is just insane !

I'm still waiting for Tottenham to strengthen their squad , it feels like they're stuck in a never-ending cycle of rebuilding . I mean, we all remember when they signed Harry Kane and thought that was going to be the answer ... Fast forward a few years and here we are again . Maybe Frank's right about making long-term decisions, but it'd be nice to see some immediate progress . What's with all these false starts though? They make an approach on someone, only to miss out because of the transfer window... Can't they just get it done already?

I feel like Spurs are trying to navigate a really tricky situation here. The transfer window can be super stressful, especially when you're in the thick of it like they are. I mean, comparing it to Football Manager is a good point - it sounds like they're playing with one hand tied behind their back! £62.5m for Semenyo? That's some serious cash, and I'm sure they're still smarting from missing out on that deal.

It's great to hear that Frank is focusing on making long-term decisions rather than getting caught up in short-term fixes. He seems like a realistic guy who knows what it takes to build a strong squad. And let's be real, it's not easy being the boss of Spurs right now - the fans are having a tough time, but I'm sure Frank is doing his best to turn things around.

ugh i dont know how they do it in football manager lol 62.5m for semenyo? that's like a small fortune but i guess when you're playing with virtual money it's all good...in real life tho its hard enough making moves without all these crazy transfer fees and frank is so relatable he sounds like every coach who tries to navigate the chaos of transfers i mean at least he's thinking about long-term fixes though that's what we need more of in football not just quick fixes or scapegoating the manager

I feel him he knows it ain't easy navigatin that transfer market like Football Manager, ya know? It's all about makin deals, negotiatin fees & whatnot... sometimes u just gotta roll with the punches & hope for the best

anywayz, I think Frank's all good... 'e did make a move on Semenyo in Jan & got shut down cuz of the transfer window now 'e's makin moves & showin everyone 'e cares about the squad. gotta be proud of 'im for keepin it real & not gettin caught up in all that fan drama

I'm low-key excited 4 the summer transfers tho hopefully we see some fresh faces comin in & oldies leavin out
