Transfers Summer 2018 transfer window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Easily the most baffling part of this is that, with greatly enhanced media exposure as a result of the new stadium... we haven't capitalised on it with a glamour signing. For once, the eyes of the world will be on us and our high profile WC players - a big new signing would have doubled down on that publicity.
 
Why do they still big up the deadline day?? it's such a damp squib. Hardly any deals done these days, they are living off DD 10 years or so ago.

Move on you unimaginative dead heads. Burn those pathetic yellow ties and realise it's not even a thing anymore.
 
What pisses me the fuck off even more is I know we made a bid for zaha earlier in the window and I know we got encouragement from him that he wants to join.
Sometimes it just seems like we make bids without any real intention to sign the player.
 
I did not expect to see a journalist be sensible but here we are.

Was perusing the live DD chat one of our big papers up here are hosting and someone showed up going "I CAN'T BELIEVE SPURS ARE NOT SIGNING ANYONE WTF" and the journo responded with "You still have one of the strongest teams in the league, I think you can relax".

Usually it is the other way around
 
A sad day for the ambition one of the biggest clubs in the country.
Lifelong fans and ST holders feeling massively let down by the board that masquerade as if they care.

Yet a few people think it a good time to gloat about our transfer window and mock those that feel betrayed.

Some fans!
 
A reminder that it's how we perform off the pitch, not how many signing we (don't) make, that's important. We've got a load of players coming back from the World Cup who will have grown as players off the back of their experience. Players who have experienced actually winning a penalty shoot out. Players who have got to semi finals, and one who actually won the world cup. How many times have we had a current player do that? Our team is strong as fuck, and all know each other inside out. No having to get to know each other needed. No trying to find out what our best team is. It could be a big positive.
 
Not to buy a single player is a calculated and wholly financially based decision. We offer this and nothing more.

Where we are short is in the striker position if Kane gets injured and Llorente keeps doing what he did last season.

It does nothing to refresh the squad and adds no competition so all that now falls squarely at Pochettino's door.

It is however amazing.

I think the club need clear the air talks with Rose, and a public statement of their support for him through a mentally challenging period in his career.

Oh contrary.

He needs to do the fucking "clear the air talks" with the Club. Why hasn't he done this?

Why do the club need to approach him to correct something that he did, was fully aware of and is now regretting because he has now become a squad player for Club and Country.

I have zero sympathy for him, he decided to make those comments, did it in the mainstream media, embarrassed his Manager, Chairman, fellow team members, fans, and has ended up the laughing stock of the Club.

Woe is me.
 
At least a few of the die hard LPM crew are starting to pull their heads out their arses and can finally see the football team on the pitch is just a minor irrelevance in the grand scheme of our profiteering owners. Some, not all mind.

#Love Spurs #Hate Enic

Could you be kind enough to point out the bit in this year's (or any years) THFC accounts that shows where Levy/Enic are profiteering and taking money from the club?

If they are doing as you say then I'm sure all of the LPM crew will rightly join the Melt Boyz.
 
B..b..bbbut we have a new stadium, right guyz?
The Lodge is finished RJ, that was the news I was hoping to hear
