Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Every spurs fan wants Ndombele to be a success , but if had just been another cheap French punt then we would have wrote him off by now , so when do we finally say we overpaid and he is a dud and isn’t suited to the PL? And please don’t give it “he will look better with better players around him” surely a world class player surrounded by shite players would stick out more as they are so many levels above ? We hear it all the time with youth players and that some are only so good as they are in the U21’s so they are a level above everyone else? Don’t get me wrong I want tanguay to succeed but we have to many players who we want to come good. including the likes of dele , Lucas , Winks , Dier And Davies, of course we want all our players to come good but if we take of our spurs tinted glasses a lot of them aren’t good enough .
 
We really do seem like we are a team that keep hold of its sellabke assets for far too long.

Sissoko, Lamela, Aurier, Rose really shouldn’t we anywhere near the club anymore really and the likes of Foyth, Dele and Winks are quickly becoming of the same mould.

If it wasn’t for Dier’s positional change I would add him into that group as well. 7-8 players that we still have on our books that have either reached a ceiling or drastically fallen away. It’s pretty obvious to me why we don’t see, to be taking progressive steps forward. Sell the flakey stuff that you know ain’t got it in them to take you onto bigger things, reinvest the money into fresh blood and hope a few come good. Honestly how Sissoko and Lamela are still Tottenham players after all of these years still leaves me shaking my head.

During the Amazon Doc Mourinho even says we look a more fluid team with Eriksen starting so how have we acknowledged the issues that come through selling him yet not replace that skill set? I’m braced for a rocky season after that horror show of a start yesterday, I hope the lads prove me wrong.

More fluid with Eriksen is an understatement. It truly is baffling that we are linked to absolutely no playmakers. Fuck Sigurdsen is gonna be a bench player at everton now. That would be a massive upgrade to the shit we have.
Reguilon close to signing united it seems
 
But Ossie Wembley says it's not a player issue. So apparently Poch was wrong 2+ seasons ago, Levy was wrong in the doc, I've been wrong a long time, and anyone else that thinks our team is full of dross is wrong.
There’s levels. We don’t have the players to win the league, we do have the players to make a better fist of playing at home to Everton.

Jose was horrid yesterday. He got as little out of our squad as was possible with his horrid tactics, setup and substitutions.
 
i am. We had a disagreement over my use of cryptics, which they didnt like. So after 15 years of reliable info and probably more than 10 years only posting on SC, i am no longer there. In fairness i asked them to delete my acc.
Welcome! Luckily over here no one will police what you can and cannot say or think. Well, that might not be entirely true but that person/those people have no authority. Will warn you that there is a dim view taken towards ITK round these parts, particularly that which has Hercules-levels of accuracy and vagueness. He's treated as the joke he is.
 
It’s hilarious that people are still trying to deny he was playing well.
Passing sideways doesn’t mean he had a bad game.

He’s not a creative AM, and was here we fell flat.
Winks was tidy, and kept the ball moving, while mopping up loose balls and linking the defence and midfield rather than just having to punt it.

It’s amazing that with any other players removal, the team going from playing well to playing probably the worst I’ve ever seen them would automatically be equated to a bad substitution.

But no.....apparently it was still Winks fault, even when he’s not on the pitch.
100% Agree he plays safe not bad. he's also our deepest player other than LB and 2CB's but people want him to create every thing when there's 6 players ahead of him.
 
Valencia Yid been around the block more times than Hercules mum in an ITK brothel. Remember him well on BBC 606. Welcome son!!! Far more enjoyable on here than that dictatorship North Korea regimented Spurs community, with cunt features A&C as the mod.
 
i got on well with Rob. Imo i didnt think i put that many cryptics but they werent happy and in their emails to me i felt like they were talking to me like a child and over reacting, hence why in the end i asked them to delete my account. Shame...
I've co-founded and run an internet forum. You inevitably attract a lot of childish posters. But it's easy to distinguish them from the grown ups.

Rob does generally seem like a nice enough guy, but by blindly backing A&C in whatever outrageous control freakery he chooses to pursue he's damaged SC significantly.
