Like I say, an idea, definitely. But I really don't wanna fuck with Chris. I think he'll become a CM once his engine goes a bit. Until then, let him do what he does.

I'd rather try Dele.

Well, they'd make up 2/3s of the three.

Like when we destroyed Liverpool. (arguably Dele best game for us last season)
 
Seriously if Levy sells Toby and Rose to United without getting Martial in that deal, then I am done with him. Won't be investing anymore of my money into spurs whilst he is around and I suggest we all do the same and boycott the bloody place. Would be a shambles if this were to happen, not to mention the incredibly crap window we are having. The only top club not to have signed anyone:

Be sure to let Levy know when you unleash the full might of your tantrum... Sure he'll be riveted.
 
We definitely need a new CM, Skipp is the prince, but for anyone that knows, he has been for 18 months. Modric being available should be leapt upon. Just imagine the imprint he could leave on our youngsters.

Other than that, I'm very happy with our squad with a fully pre-seasoned Lamela and Lucas and hopefully a returning Winksy.
I personally am not happy with not signing anyone. But then again I am not sure we can? Obviously I don’t have all the facts to hand but I am pretty sure if we are looking at any players that City, Chelski, Liverpool or Woolwich are looking at also I am pretty sure we can’t compete on transfer money or wages.
So where does that leave us? Well I think good scouting and finding Alli type players for little money. For example Grealish looked like that type of player but now we are hearing silly money for him like 40mil and 65/70 for Zaha for Christ sake! It’s just crazy.
Hopefully they have been looking far and wide and will come up with a diamond in the rough.
But I don’t expect to see any marquee signings.
So I hope we do get some in, and also some out but time is getting short now.
If we end up with nothing, given the fact we are going to be seriously short on players for the beginning of the season. Then playing at Wembley then switching to our new stadium, I do think we could end up with a bad start. And with teams streath in depth around us I think top 4 would be tough. Not impossible but very tough ask.
 
Mate, the horsenoshers are Trumpian. They'll spin this something fierce.

Yeah, I wasn't going to respond to him because I wasn't prepared to spend any time digging through searches and transfer window threads digging up the hysteria, but then you did the heavy-lifting.

I'll restate the same thing for posterity. Every summer we go through the same stuff, and the EXACT same cast of characters starts shrieking about mid-table finishes and Levy damaging the club.
 
Like I say, an idea, definitely. But I really don't wanna fuck with Chris. I think he'll become a CM once his engine goes a bit. Until then, let him do what he does.

I'd rather try Dele.
Could try both in a 4-3-3, people probably thought the same about silva and de bruyne playing cm before pep came aswell.

Top 4 is always tough. That'll never change. But 9+ of these players just had one of the biggest learning experiences of their footballing careers at the World Cup. I think it'll do them the world of good mentally about winning. Especially the younger ones. Our squad is stronger simply for that fact.

I mean, Dele came to us as a central midfielder. Broke into our team as a central midfielder and got into the England team as a central midfielder.

Him being deeper doesn't stop him from scoring goals. The best part of his game is his movement. Running from deep, late runs in the box. Ability to use his creativity from deep, like we saw in his first season for us.

The most exciting thing about a Poch 433 is the unpredictability of the movement of our players. Potentially Dele, Eriksen, Lucas, Son and Kane all available for the ball. Every single of those works for the team.
 
Spursdem with the 1st round TKO!! Quick, someone call the WAHHHHHmbulance

Can't believe some of you genuinely want the club to buy no one.

We need a world class CM, and some of you are like, "Don't worry. We have Amos and Skipp, it'll be fine."

Really a club of our current stature should be able to get in a good WF/ FWD for Son & to help take the burden off of Kane, a good CM that has the potential to be a long term replacement for Dembele and someone like Grealish as a promising player to help take the burden off of creativity in CM and Eriksen.

We should also be able to find a club, somewhere in the World that would be interested in taking Janssen, Sissoko, Dembele, Nkoudou and Llorente off our hands.

I'm a very big fan of how the club has moved forward recently and will always stick by them, but I do get a little bewildered that there are potentially 8 deals, 9 if we include Alderweirelds inevitable departure that could have gone through based on what the squad really does require yet not a single one of them has happened.

I like the look of Skipp and I'd be fine with him stepping up this year if he's ready, Amos I don't know if he's got the right level of class but to have all of our deadwood still at the club is slightly concerning with 1 week left to get incomings wrapped up
 
Since you ask...

Well, of course you are chief horsenosher.

I was curious as to just why you are chief horsenosher (before you try deflect about time spent, thanks to Admin Admin fantastic search bar it took 20 minutes) as it's all well and good me saying it to be funny, but unlike you, I like to add substance to my cunt-offs, a deeper cunt-off.

So just to show how much of a fucking iron you (and your kind) really are, you've been polluting this board with your anti-Levy nonsense since 2014.

Happy with our transfer strategy ?

Posted in 2014, a thread created just to say you don't like our transfer strategy. Following a season in which Spurs came 6th. This will be important later.

Moving onto 2015...

The January window thread is much of the same. The Summer one is a FUCKING DOOZY.

Particular highlights include...

https://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/f...discussion-thread.13285/page-1329#post-856843

''I'd rather Berahino than Pato.
As for the transfer fee. I couldn't give a fuck''


''BetVictor have slashed their odds to 6/4 against Behrahino signing for us. Would be a great signing. Pay the fucking money Levy. Before someone else steps in''

''I am desparate for us to get Berahino.''

''we should not be paying 25million for Berahino''

''The thought of us signing Victor Moses is now getting me quite hard''

''I think we're going to sign Charlie Austin. I backed it last night with BetVictor st 16/1. He's now 6/1 with and even shorter with most bookies. He'll be relatively cheap and low maintenance. It's gonna happen I tell ya''

''I can't see it. But yes. Fellaini would be a good signing. In my opinion.''

''Fuck Carrick. That's a backward step of huge proportions. It's the kind of signing you'd expect of a club like West Ham or Sunderland''


Yet, you know exactly what is needed with our transfer strategy, right? Saido Berahino, Charlie Austin, Poohead Fellaini and Victor Moses. But Carrick wasn't good enough? But you know better than Poch and Levy, correct? You'd rather see them take a place in our squad ahead of our youth?

Another little gem in this thread...

''Stoke.......Rivals......To Spurs ??? ......Fucking Stoke

I`ve been thinking about this statement. And it`s actually starting to hit home that it`s absolutely fucking true''


After all your bluster about Spurs being the biggest and best club in the world you say this. This is the funny thing. You'll criticise me for finding this post but won't maybe take some introspection into the fact you are always, always wrong. Like, NW1 levels of wrong. And just like your fellow horsenosher (#2) you simply cannot admit it.

''I said 10th to 14th with the squad as it was before Clinton signed. With the 2 new boys, I would say between 8th and 11th.
edit: if Kane gets injured or loses form early on, i`d knock it back down a few notches''


*facepalm*

We move on...2016.

Hold up, weren't we Stoke's rivals just 6 months before?

Transfers - Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

''I'd be fucking delighted if we sign Sissoko''

Just like you would have been with Berahino and Charlie Austin. You just want transfers. They don't have to be good, you just want to see money spent. No judgement involved. Spin the wheel and spend.

Transfers - Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

''Seems like Everton, Stoke, Leicester and Bournemouth etc..
are leapfrogging us too now''


We'll move on from 2016 now I've spotted a post of you slagging off Ryan Mason.

2017...



Years before this post, we came 2nd and 3rd. Wanna guess where we finished in this one?

Finally the piece de resistance from 2015-16.

''If we signed no-one else, I would expect us to finish around 10th - 14th. Depending on our Europa cup run.''

This was your prediction. The season we came 3rd.

And you wonder why you get such hostility from myself and others? We have had to put up with your bullshit for half a decade. And it's provably wrong. But you're so fucking arrogant that anyone who tells you this, is Levy over Spurs. When it's you that predicts us coming midtable, calling Stoke our rivals, begging for Saido Berahino.

2018...

It was you that said 2nd place was looking like Thursday nights in Europa.

As for your question about the rest...

Your fellow horsenoshers are The Dane The Dane who has given up on every Spurs side in December in existence. Spent the 2017 transfer thread telling us all Ross Barkley was the saviour of Tottenham Hotspur and that Everton will be a danger to us. I see he's melted into a smelly goop again. Art Vandelay Art Vandelay who is your self-proclaimed bodyguard who said he would ''be on me like a rash'' whenever I got in a row with you, then put me on ignore. Some bodyguard. The pum pum. NW1Spur NW1Spur who said ''we are absolutely not a top 4 side'' this season and of course Erik Lamela. Finally Don Giovanni Don Giovanni the gooner. Who being a gooner, shares the other horsenoshers opinions, which is slagging off Spurs.

As for scott scott he's right, he hasn't got it in him to be a horsenosher. He's a Johnnosher. He's your fluffer, making sure you're hard and ready to go when you get to the horse. Those boys above are your roadies, Scott is just your groupie hoping that one day, you'll let him in the gang, but he'll always be the bitch. The fluffer too ugly, racist and meek to be front and centre. But he'll be there ploughing himself as you nosh the horse.

I know you'll all just deflect this post about how long it took, or how dragging up the past is silly. But when you act like you do, you need receipts when you start lying and pretending you are the one with all the answers and digging out others.

You predicted we'd finish ''around 10th - 14th'' the season we came 3rd.

YOU AIN'T GOT THE ANSWERS SWAY!
