I was out all day you cheeky Colonel. Logged on about 5.30, cooked a meal, fell asleep, posted some shit and watched Micky Flanagan. Now I'm hungry again - maybe some toast? This is turning into twatter.

Do you really not think the stadium has any effect on this? Not looking for an argument, genuine question.
Among PL players, but not when one looks further afield. Also, here's the problem with assists: they're not a measure of a player's ability. An assist is a pass converted to a shot that was scored. So the pass isn't what's being counted. You're measuring how much the other guy was converting his shots. Looking at how many chances a player created is better, and Ross looks ok from that perspective, but he's not the guy who is going to gut a defence the way Eriksen can with one pass (like he did repeatedly to Chelsea). That's what I mean by creative. Barkley doesn't do that.
Son, Wanyama, Lamela, and Alderweireld all had experience playing in teams which frequently used pressing before they came to Spurs. Many teams across Europe use pressing systems.
He also said he's not going to sign a player who would block a young player coming through. Barkley would just get in the way of Edwards, Winks and Onomah. No thanks.
Many words, attempted insults, no points raised, in my view. I've never played Championship manager, is it any fun?
I was only making the point that that we shouldn't need a 40million transfer surplus to fund the wages of our remaining players, as was suggested in the post I was replying to.
Why do you always need to try and score cheap points by turning posts around to suit your agenda. Some of us have different opinions to you. Get over it.
And yes, Of course I trust Poch. What sort of question is that?
Do I trust Levy to back him.? No, I dont.
Not looking to get in the middle of anything but for the right price surely a talent that could be developed for a season or two and potentially offer versatility whilst Edwards and Onomah develop?
Well it's perfectly possible for the iPad be open on the coffee table, (get me) whilst people are watching TV, lolling about, listening to music, sitting in the garden watching the cricket with a cold one, and generally living a life. You're on thin ice with this line of attack mate, given your objection to everything but yourself. What's your point?
If Daniel had said that due to the stadium our hands will be tied in the transfer market fair enough...However, he's made it pretty fucking clear, on more than one occasion, how the stadium is being financed, and the costs would not in any way impact on the clubs transfer budget. So, while I dont expect us to be outspending the likes of City, utd, chelsea etc...., I would like to see us, at least attempting to match the purchasing power of a number of clubs like Palace, West Brom and Bournmouth etc
And one more thing. I've just answered a question you asked me. So before people like
sammyspurs
tell me to shut the fuck up about transfers, may I suggest that people like you stop asking me the fucking same questions ( with respect, like)

If we can get Barkley for less than £30 million then he's a bargain but will trust Poch on this one
Remember - if we win the league it doesn't make you a better person. Reflected glory is a cruel mistress, but I wouldn't mind one to test the theory though. Let's be honest here, until Poch arrived none of us thought we'd win the league in our lifetimes. Can't we just trust the fella?
He did say that early doors but the cost of the stadium has gone up considerably since then. Also you thought he was lying about the stadium full stop so I don't get why you'd now fall back on something he's said to support your argument.
Poch has said more recently on a number of occasions that there are financial constraints because of the stadium and it is difficult.
I agree that it's frustrating that we've done nothing in the window so far and Levy's hardballing is undoubtedly his biggest flaw (from a fans perspective) but equally it's probably one of the reasons we are where we are as a club right now.
Also I don't care what the likes of Palace and West Brom are doing. We are in a position where to improve we need to buy players at the same level as Chelsea etc but we don't have the finances to do it so easily. I'm sure if we wanted to shop in the same bracket as Palace we could get our business done nice and early but it wouldn't improve us.

Fair enough, but Levy won't pay nearly £30m for a bloke with 11 months left on his contract. It ain't gonna happen.
Didn't realise his contract was under a year
£25 million been mentioned a few times or a straight swap with Sissoko?
I agree Baz, but these swap deals rarely happen, more's the pity. (Whatever 'more's the pity' means) I am cliche man all of a sudden. See, I did it again. Fuck.

We have no chance of winning the league unless we spend £200m on unproven players, get with it Joe
I think it's only me that keeps mentioning that.
It's the only way I can get excited about Barkley.
Clubs tend to be far enough apart when negotiating just one player. Add in a second and it's just hopeless.
