You can't sell a player that has no interest.....to be devil's advocate, surely not shifting them is a fact given the players didn't move? Hence it can still be a failing.
Whether we received bids for them is surely somewhat secondary?
You can both be right on this one therefore![]()
9 points, 50 goals, £500M spentNot the point I'm making.
If someone says they expect us to get 2 points from 8 games and we get 9 from 3 and they still moan.
What start would have made them happy? Tell me.
Less of the insults that can be visualised please, other than that do as you please. Feeling a bit queasy as I type
Perfection.

The need for outgoings to open up squad room let alone generate funds was always going to be a massive struggle this summer given the state of the market.You can't sell a player that has no interest.
Determining it as a failure of Spurs that no other club wants them is a fallacy. One dreamt up as a reason to attack Levy.
It's so transparent.
Nailed it sirThe need for outgoings to open up squad room let alone generate funds was always going to be a massive struggle this summer given the state of the market.
Failing to replace Bale and Vinicius with at least 1 striker is very poor going. A Llorente type signing would've done the job.
Levy needs to supply industry standard funding for the football operation, and if it’s spent on garbage that needs to fall at the feet of our recruitment team.The spend, spend, spend dudes are the same people that DEMANDED Tanguy Ndombele, Roberto Soldado, Davinson Sanchez and Moussa Sissoko.
They absolutely wet themselves over the money spent on them.
They never learn but tell everyone else how clever they are.
Just enjoy the now! We're top of the league. Have started to build a much younger, more talented squad. Enjoy it for a bit!I'm happy with the start to the season. Delighted, in fact.
I won't be happy if it all unravels of the coming months because of €NIC continuing to prioritise property investment over football team investment.
Will you?
That’s how I feel, too. We could use one more player who puts pressure on the defense, but it’s already a decent window.Pretty disappointing if its just Emerson today given some of the hype but overall it's been a decent window and the rebuild is well underway.

I agree with all of that bar the 6th sentence. If anything, the most noticeable change from him is his tracking back to support the LB. It was highlighted in MOTD how he was in there challenging, on the left, to win back the ball in our half. It was Dele who was challenging Sissoko on the left when he got to the byeline and managed to get the cross in for their only real decent half chance. Granted he didn't stop the ball coming in, but he's been working very hard to protect our left flank defensively.I've watched Dele super closely, for a long, long time.
When he has an outstanding game, I'll be the first to cheer it.
He's been decent and played some nice stuff in advanced positions.
I've given him props in game threads, when he's done good things.
I don't think nuno is helping him playing him in MF.
I don't like his support capabilities for the LB, there.
He wouldn't be a player I'd start.
Squad + utilised further up the field.
For me, personally, Dele has to regain my trust in him.
