Realism is we have a elite manager but one who walks if not massively backed. That is the situation, doesn’t take Einstein to see where this is heading without a few good signings this window and another bunch in the summer.

fuck you ENIC
There's probably a lot of truth in this, I read that we were upset that the bid was leaked and tbf Dias was always going to choose them over us so hard to blame us here really.
I think what has pushed people over the edge is that yet again we've shown ourselves up, we have no plan clearly and our transfer strategy is appaling and this deal falling through is a reminder of how shit we are in the transfer market.
But we have a new golf course being built so not all bad.

Have we got to pay for the body bags as the club won't provide
I am not claiming this is the case but sometimes other clubs have a (secret) deal with an agent that they will match any bid (within reason) of a certain player.
Liverpool were interested in him last summer and most probably were waiting to make a bid for him in the summer but then they saw that Spurs may get him so they made their move. If they can spend £50M on a "reserve" (well, he's be an understudy to Mane for a while at least) it says something about their finances...

That is pretty much the nature of being a football fan. It's mostly shit.
If Conte walks, this will get nasty
But we're barking up the wrong trees
Levy will demand a % of the feeWe spent 3 days negotiating so Liverpool can sign a player. Hilarious. The way Levy has the run the club in the last six years has been a disaster.
The fact is we are getting maybe one player this window and no backup for Kane, no starting midfielder and no right wing backs. That was what Conte asked for and we are giving him f all only the fact we tried to sign a winger.
When Conte walks and we all fear this will happen ENIC better follow. The fact we have not backed Conte or shown any intent to back him is a disgrace.
If anyone wants to try and defend Levy...save it, nobody wants to fucking hear you.
Oh and delete your account.

I'm actually angry. I can't say I have ever been before about Spurs and windows, because I just got used to it. But I am actually angry about this.
There is a genuine chance of getting top 4 and showing ambition to the best striker in the world and a world class manager, but instead they play fucking games again.
We are the 9th richest club in the world, yet every window we get spewed the same bollocks of "there is no money, we need to sell before we buy" and it's fucking embarrassing. ENIC and Levy think they own a big club, when in reality they own a property portfolio, and whack all the costs against the club.
They have no interest in what the fans want, the players want or what the manager wants. It's about what will line their pockets.
There are a lot of clubs a lot worse off than Spurs, so that can't be forgotten, but the way this ship is being manned, we are in for a longer demise than we had time spent in the top 4.

I'm laughing my tits off this morning at the people who thought we honestly had a cat in hells chance of Diaz.
Levy has just whipped his fish hook out of your startled mouths and is about to gut you and chuck your still quivering body on the onboard barbie on Joe Lewis yacht.
You should have reserved your rage for Traore falling through as that was our best hope of signing somebody anyone had actually fucking heard of and has PL experience.

Yeah we should be able to get raphina if it's true we have the money to bid for Diaz and I would rather have him.
But can't see it :contefacepalm:
I don't think he will walk based on Jan window. If we fuck about in the summer, though, I can see him walking, no doubt.
Letting Ndombele go and replacing with Arambat (we will probably get more out of him than we have been from Ndombele).
Dele and Lo Celso going, realistically; who can replace them with this late in the window?
We probably have to assume we will be stuck with Doherty and Royal until the summer.
With a chance of Top 4 and this manager there is no defence of our inability to strengthen.
