He's a fucking dinosaur. All those talksport / real football men journos and pundits are. Desperate to still be relevant. Churning out cliches, because it's easier than having a well thought out analytical opinion.

Gary Neville had them all bang to rights when he went on to backup his comments about the majority of football print journalism in this country being full of shit.

Someone should send this to football365 media watch because they will tear him a new one.

Edit: They already have!! Mediawatch: Spending is bad. Not spending is bad - Football365

I like Paul Hawksby on talksport (for obvious reasons)

Can the cunt offs fuck off? Tired of reading 8 pages of absolute shit.

We had a great day with all the funnys like 5 days ago or whatever, since then it's like watching a bunch of kids squabble until Christmas suddenly arrives.

The amount of pointless posts is incredible. You've had 613 pages to say your piece. We've heard it all before, we have these exact same arguments every window - "Spend, spend" vs "Use the academy" vs "Buy one marquee player".

Give it a rest guys. I'm here to see if we sign a player or who we're linked to, not to hear people argue about the clubs strategy.

You must missed have Furball's Lemon meringue Pie Recipe from 7 pages ago. I have now made one and it was delicious, not absolute shit. :pochbye:
 
arguably the strongest XI when fit

I think 'when fit' was the operative word last season. I read somewhere our 'first eleven' played together twice all season (not sure if that's true without checking though). It does question the 'actual' quality of the squad if for a good 90% of all games last season, we fielded 'second string' players and still managed to finish second.

To me, we don't have enough players for next season, on paper anyway. Having three recognised centre halves in Toby, Eric and Jan (should Wimmer leave) wouldn't exactly be an ideal position to be in. Having one right back is probably worse. In fact, you could argue just the Keeper and in Central Midfield are pretty solid in the squad.

Attacking third is OK but, could be better. Defence needs attention.
 
He hasn't got the courage to do anything other than put people on ignore
A gutless lying little creep!
Cue disagree from his mate John Thomas

:dembelelol:
His mate. I've never met him.I just think the abuse he gets is OTT. Like the statement above. Some hard boy even went so far as to call him a coward.
I mean, come on, what could be more cowardly than using a football forum to label a fellow contributor a coward
 
Sorry but this is just completely wrong.

Nor could other non stars get a game at Real, like Wesley Sneijder, Guti, Robben and Michael Owen.
If he wasn't a star why did we all go cock-a-hoop when we signed him?
And Modric was a star, he'd already bossed international games vs England and was talk of the town.
A hot international tournament does not make one a star. It makes one a hot new thing.

Just ask Moussa Sissoko about his Euro 2016, or Pavlyuchenko, or Paulinho...

As for Spurs long record of making people stars.... I guess you dont remember Dean Austin, Alton Thelwell, Lee Barnard and Paul Mahorn. Our record has been as hit and miss as anyone's.
Yes, but that isn't the point. Developing players is always hit and miss.

The point is that Spurs have always bought young talent and tried to develop them into stars. We don't build our team through buying peak year superstars. And never have built a team successfully when trying to do so.
 
Define a big signing?? £30/40/50m or more.
We have reportedly sold £70m of players and I expect based on recent seasons that we have budgeted to spend what we get in sales. We do not need 7 players costing £10m each. We do need a 3rd GK and have been linked with young CB's that presumably are not ready for the first team. Say that leaves us with £50m. Now depending on what is available that £50m could be spent on one player or 2/3. If Sissoko or Wimmer go then we need to replace them but would have more funds. So whilst spending the whole £50m on one player seems unlikely it COULD still be within budget and COULD be better than 2/3 cheaper players who may not be ready. We have sold a regular First team player and have money to replace. It is pretty clear we are not in the market to compete for the big transfers and that will be the case for a few years.

I apologise & have stopped!

So fucken what? We should abide by your cunty code of conduct? Fuck off you useless wank.

Let the lads indulge in as many cunt offs as the want. They are but men. You are but a cunt.
