Like I said before, I am not saying Spurs is a bad team, I never claimed that, and you guys are acting as if I said Spurs is a bad team, you have named a few players that came out Spurs, which is good and all but that doesn't make you at the top tier neither. All I said was there are like maybe 5 or at most 10 teams at the top tier of all european teams, those are at a different level and I believe spurs is not there.
Spurs have good players but the general quality of their players is not at top levels. Some of them are at top levels include Harry Kane, Son Heung Min. I can not find other players in Spurs can have same level of Kane and Son. Bale is not their player and he has problems with his fitness.
I would say that they are definitely in the top 20 of the european clubs but I wouldn't put them in top 5 at all, its a place where we have to talk about if top tier is top 5 or top 10 or top 20, if you say top 20 is top tier then you can put Spurs in there for now.
Spurs can not belong to the top 10 because they can not end their national league (Premier League) in top 2 or top 3. If considering the top 10 is best clubs from top national leagues in the Europe, they need to be in top 3 of their national leagues, and their leagues need to be tier 1 in the Europe.
Spurs belong to the top 20 but that top does not make sense. They can not win titles, just try to join the Tier 1. Harry Kane feel disappointed because of no titles from his contributions.
However Hhampuz shows that they have been "good" for 3 seasons, and that good is being top 16 and I know that, I still think eliminated at top 16 is not top tier, and they have done this recently, go back further and they are even worse. I just feel like I wouldn't put them in the same category as Barcelona, Madrid, City, Bayern, PSG and the likes.
Spurs belong to the top clubs in Europa League but even so, they can not win Europa League. It is a fact about their quality.
