Really? Show me a quote in that post? Hard to misquote when I didn't quote you at all. Do you not know what "misquoting" means? How about mischaracterizing or misconstruing? Would they be more appropriate?

And little if anything in that post was related to "what happens at Spurs" and was pertaining to contracts and Bosmans. It doesn't surprise me that you got that wrong too.

when, apparently, Poch decided (at least that's what Spursidol Spursidol Spursidol Spursidol and SchmoodSpur SchmoodSpur SchmoodSpur SchmoodSpur would have you believe but) that he didn't want any transfers in summer 2018.

Show me the quote that you claim I made saying that ?

Misquoting is a polite term for lying.
 
Imo we need both an extra AM and a back up striker.

AM's (after Eriksen leaves) - Son, Moura, Lamela, Dele, Lo Celso (4 for 3 places in a 4231)
Strikers - Kane (injured)

Not enough AM's to rotate if we play 4231.

So I'd get Bowen in as AM cover and give us time for the rest of the season to bed him in - and gives more flexibility if Kane is out for the rest of the season as he's a winger striker with rye for a goal..

And HG so no problem to get into the squad
I've never watched this Bowen chap. Seems we are going balls-out for Eze in the summer.

Different players.

I'd suggest Bowen is a better fit as a winger/striker than Moura for Spurs as I think he and Kane could play without Bowen getting under his feet, which is what Moura tends to do. Think he's also a better finisher and a better 'backup' striker than Moura. However lacking significant pace. There's some good videos of all his goals on youtube which are worth watching

Edit RESPECT THE COCK RESPECT THE COCK


Eze is different, much more of a playmaker,

IMO Lamela needs to be moved on, too many injuries make him unreliable so Eze replaces Lamela and helps backs up Lo Celso as Eriksen replacement

Was anything 'quoted' in there? No, no there wasn't.

You never said that explicitly but any fair-minded person would agree that this would suffice to satisfy my claim
Not forgetting that Poch was appointed manager 12 months after starting at Spurs with responsibility for recruitment. So who has screwed up recruitment over the last 5 years...
Now there's your friggin quote. Yeah, you were dropping it all at his door and since the Sammy-Summer occurred within those five years surely he would be responsible in your book? Unless of course you are now saying that Poch wasn't responsible for the last 5 years of recruitment and that you previously mischaracterized a situation in order to advance your libelous narrative. And beyond that I'm just ridiculing your position. And again, it wasn't quoted but the position was attributed to you and, considering this present quote, I would say more than fairly.

Misquoting is a polite term for lying.
Maybe to you but your position shows you cannot be trusted with thinking so perhaps you should stop. Your position was that Poch was responsible (solely? ultimately? partially?) for recruitment and where we find ourselves is down to his failures. As such that would mean he was responsible for the Sammy-Summer then right? By you own words it would logically follow that Poch was responsible for the Sammy-Summer as he was responsible for recruitment in those 5 years. Your words, not previously, but now quoted. If he was responsible for recruitment then he was responsible for not recruiting anyone. I can only imagine this would extend to being responsible for not getting anyone out of the door as well in order to make space in the squad. Wow, this is awkward...for you.

I would say choose your words more carefully in the future but I have a feeling you've made a life out of ignoring wisdom on offer.
 
I'm doing a liver flush on Thursday, there's soo much bile kicking about on here, the last few days, I'm cool with a group session, if anybody wants support cleaning their backed up bile out.

I'm in but I'd like to know more about it before I fully commit. Can you fill me in a little more on the mechanism of action and the physiology of it all. I'm also a little concerned about the necessity of it all. My LFTs were WNL and my poo's not chalky. Should I do this?

Dude, it would be like explaining physics to a single celled amoeba!

The residents would get (rightly) upset if I explain it deeply, though I do understand it pretty well, no fat through the day, build up the charge so to speak, then blam, hit the system with mad epsom salts (to dilate thebile ducts) 6pm - 8pm, then, double blam, hit it with high dose fat and citric acid (stimulate that stored bile into a gushing release) 10pm, then hit the pillow, next morning, repeat double epsom salts 6am and 8am or as soon after as ready... that toilet won't know what's hit it!

Maybe with your described state just some malic acid in the form of regular apples and rest will suffice, though I'm not qualified to advise you on anything :) Are you a med student?

The forum does seem cross lately, not just you Todd.

I like Bowen but I think him and Kane will not work. Moura is limited but he turns defences because his pace. A three of Bowen Kane and Son will force us deeper, which our midfield can not cope with. We actually need more pace in the front line desperately. We need both pace and an eye for a pass( not much to ask for basically Mane). Not sure where you find his clone but I do think it's fair to point out he wanted to come to Spurs but someone would not meet the price.....🙄
 
Nathan Ferguson not in the WBA squad tonight...

TOTTENHAM are leading the race for West Brom's 19-year-old full-back Nathan Ferguson, according to reports.

The youngster has starred for Slaven Bilic's promotion chasing men this season but with his contract up in the summer, the Baggies could be forced to cash in this month.

I'm led to believe it was Poch as he was responsible for the recruitment. Damn that man to hell. How dare he not wanna pay up for a player that he clearly wanted. What a prick! And then he put on that 'painful rebuild panto' jsut to suck people in for the STs. Damn you Poch!
 
Bowen, is a huge no, just because we need ZIP IMO.

Quick movers, speed to our play.

Was so happy to hear Mourinho say Tanganga was playing due to his pace,hope that is a defacto motivation on the scouting from now on, young, quick players, you don't need bulk if you are quicker to the ball...

We have the need, the need for speed.

Mane type, exactly, spot on.
