Buying the replacement early before actually selling the starter instead of waiting until the very end of the transfer window and trying to be really cheap and ending up with no one? What happened to the Spurs I've always known and mildly disliked?
 
Guess a legit relegation scare will make you realize that maybe you should spend some of your profits on the club. They are definitely overpaying for these players for sure, but they have the money and the team will be better.

That one hurts. I’ve absolutely loved watching Manaka grow up into an absolute menace as a member of the Courage. She’s just so fun to watch. Still, the whole point of bringing in those Japanese teenagers was to sell them for a profit once they matured into difference makers. They couldn’t get anything for Narumi but they turned a nice profit with Manaka and have a decent shot to do the same with Shinomi and Uno.
