What is it at Tottenham as they always seem to want to buy midfielders, defenders but never a out and out striker and it’s getting ridiculous now as it has been going on for years. Tottenham are not short in the midfield areas and I thought Bentaleb and Mason were doing very well plus we have Dembele, Stamboulie, Paulinho and Capoue. Up front all we have is Kane and Soldado. I was hoping Soldado would start scoring more this season but it’s a bit difficult for him finding the angles from the bench. I would persevere with him because except the scoring part he really plays well and has excellent vision but he just doesn’t get the kind of service he needs such as crosses into the box. Spurs have two wingers who like to cut in and take a shot.
I don’t know some of the choices Spurs make are just beyond some of us fans.
If Pochettino is behind the decision to buy McCarthy I will go along with it but if it’s Levy then I wouldn’t trust his judgement.

Agree with Derek, that Spurs need a 2nd strong striker to take striking shoulders off on young Kane, n get a Bony or a Benteke type.
31 Mil too expensive mate.
Look at success of Eg striking partners of Sturridge n Suarrez,n pasr Spurs partnerships.

I agree that the price seems ridiculous…but – well, what if he turns out to be the definitive midfield player of the modern era, as Roy Keane was of the last one (and I’m not saying that because he is Irish).
The lad is good, difficult to say just how good…and that is the issue. There has always been a premium to pay on players from the British Isles.
Just something to consider because otherwise it does seem like a crazy price.

Except that Everton paid 22M Euros…. And he is not for sale …. And no footballer is worth the money.

Paying 31 million for James Mcarthy seems CRAZY -Instead Of Morgan & Delpth?
We need Bony or Benteke to partner Cane, plus winger that can cross & shoot!
SELL; Soldado / Lemela / Pauhinio / Noughton / Assoto / Lennon / Townsend / Kuboul / Chirches / Capone!
Also let Mr Wine & Dine Sports Director GO, we have Davis who can do better!
No excuse Mr Levi for lack of funds & Spurs will then be more successful>>>>Give Porch chance
