Id prefer the option of spending £150m on quality last summer. Reality is we should have fixed before hand, Jan is probably difficult to be fair but the club have no excuse, they let it get this bad.

But you don't look out of the window in the depths of winter and moan it isn't boiling hot and sunny. You might check, but you know what it is.
Just keep settling for the mediocrity mate.
There will always be an excuse
In the summer it will be "well its a world cup year so we didn't get a chance to bring in the quality"
The bottom line is, we have a chance at top 4. With 2-3 quality additions its in our hands.
Waiting until the summer as you are advocating basically writes off this season, seems defeatist to me.
Then he can fuck off. It never ends well
Bit tiresome hearing you cant make good signings in January. Van Dyjk, Bruno Fernandes, Aubameyang, Tielmans all fairly recent examples. Going back Suarez, Evra, Vidic, Cahill, Ivanovic. We signed Defoe from West Ham, Dawson , Woodgate, Palacios.
Maybe not directly, but I fully believe that whilst there is a strong chance we will sign Amrabat, whereas we absolutely will not sign anyone to address the lack of creativity/goals in our squad.
In that event, any signing such as Amrabat who does nothing but pad out our array of stodgy workmanlike midfielders, is going to be on the receiving end of my online ire.
See theres two Spurs demonstrating against Levy at Hotspur Way….im pretty sure Levys at the offices in Tottenham
So one Premier League team on average gets lucky once a year...(Jan transfer window has been in place since 2009)
Now for the sake of maths work out how many flops they've been in that time for context.
Hipster nerds discussing Amrabat.
A bit of positivity.
All the noise is that this is a conte pick
This guy hasn’t even stated a cunt off on here…. He got the full board in agreement … that is that he’s shit !
Weve signed one player ive heard of in the last 2 windows.
Romero. The rest I had to google. Its not good enough
Romero. The rest I had to google. Its not good enough
People want the board to back Conte but don't want us to sign players who Conte wants
The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 25th January 2022
Morning all! Here's a nice surprise for you all, it's that time of the transfer window again. HAVE YOU DONATED THIS MONTH/YET/AT ALL? As you all know, SC relies on your donations to be able to provide a unrivalled coverage of ITK, if it wasn't for you guys, the server would crash left right...www.spurscommunity.co.uk
Morning all!
Here's a nice surprise for you all, it's that time of the transfer window again.
HAVE YOU DONATED THIS MONTH/YET/AT ALL?
As you all know, SC relies on your donations to be able to provide a unrivalled coverage of ITK, if it wasn't for you guys, the server would crash left right and centre and we simply couldn't afford to run it without resorting to limiting the number of members or something
We know from previous experience that there's a LOT of you who lurk, one time we had 600 voters participate in a poll.
Six bloody hundred. And that's just the yokes who bothered voting. Whichever way you slice it that's a lot. If everyone slung just three or four quid in the pot we'd be sorted for quite a while, so if you've never donated before, please consider doing so now.
I reckon we've a shedload of lurkmeisters, so come on guys, if you're one of them and you enjoy SC's coverage of the Transfer Window (and lets face it, you do because you're here right?), then please chip in. It doesn't have to be a massive amount.
And if you happen to be a Spurs mad gazzillionaire, cough the fuck up. And if you're Daniel Levy, fucking hell shortstuff, put your hands in your pockets. And get the BSoDL to chip in too.
But A&C, where does the money go?
Outgoings: The server costs £400 per month. Forum software purchases/licenses/misc comes to around £500 a year. So currently, the cost of SC is about £5k a year.
Incomings: Advertising/Affiliates can sometimes cover the costs during the transfer window (January, July, August) but thats sometimes. The rest of the year that falls well short. Its difficult to give an exact figure because the numbers don't stay the same but i'd say £100 a month during the quiet months. Donations during the quiet months come to about £50pm if we're lucky.
Rob will know better than I do, but I reckon we're short by about £2500 a year. And the income from ads is probably down.
If one month we raise more than is needed, it stays in the pot as it won't be long before it IS needed. The shortfall is made up out of Robs pocket. I'll repeat that.......It comes out of his pocket. Think about that for a minute. I reckon he pays an average of £50 a WEEK. Just so you lot can abuse each other
This is why i'm often cajoling, nudging, outright begging and open to bribery during the transfer window. It's when the most of you are about and our last big donation drive raised enough to cover costs for a couple of months or so.
Any excess raised stays in the pot until its needed when donations/income goes right down. Absolutely nothing goes on anything other than SC's running costs. Well, occasionally the odd prostitute

Go on, keep donating and giving people like Hercules the platform to spout bullshit Spurs community members. Absolutely incredible
Do you reckon SC is actually run by Levy and our annual transfer kitty is the amount he raises via the website?
The bottom line is, no matter how much you bitch and moan, neither you, nor Levy (nor anyone else) can force a team to sell a player if they don't want to. Nor can you force a player to leave a club he doesn't want to, or join one he doesn't want to.
As evidenced by us sniffing round Lingard - nope said Man United.
As evidenced by us sniffing round Vlahavic and Kessie - nope said the players.
What part of this can you not understand?
No one cares if we have a good chance at top 4. That's our problem, not theirs.
I'm pretty sure that isn't a reasonable measure of whether a player is good enough.
I’m surprised we haven’t sold/loaned rodon
Why are you criticising them for being in the wrong place. You are a fake itk. I have not seen you to post anything first in the last two years. At least they are trying to protest because they can see what a shit show Levy is turning us into. Levy is more concerned about building climbing walls and cinemas than an actual football team.See theres two Spurs demonstrating against Levy at Hotspur Way….im pretty sure Levys at the offices in Tottenham
I can probably deal with signing that Amrabat bloke at this point but if we sign that 23 year old non league gooner bastard I’ll probably lose my mind
I picked a few recent ones who have had a big impact. Plenty of others like Coutinho to Liverpool. If there is ambition and the will to do a deal its difficult but possible. There will always be flops but having a good scouting team, doing due diligence and going for top targets reduces the risk.
It fuckin is. If ive ne er heard of em they aint worth knowing
