It has nothing to do with his muscle mass. He's not even that bulky.

What utter nonsense. Or maybe he's just keeping Zaniolo because he's a good player and Roma don't need the money as badly as the other sides?
Please god no. Why not get madueke back from psv instead.
PSV has Rangers in the last play in round for the Champions league. They won’t sell him before that’s done-and if they win-no shot they sell him. Let him showcase in those games and price will undoubtedly be higher after the group stage
assuming that Tottenham’s history can be deleted and we start from year zero & ENIC’s arrival, I will accept that.
But we didn’t and we have quite a lot of history before ENIC where we will find a significantly more successful football club than what we currently have. I am pleased with where we are now. But look where the current owners had us just 12 months ago.
This is not true. The average league position in the 10 year period pre ENIC was 9 (actually works out to 9.5 so could also argue 10th & I’d accept that)
1992 and 1994 we did finish 15th.
In three out of the first 7 years under ENIC the team managed to finish 10th / 14th and 11th. In that time they also finished 5th twice and no higher than 9th in the remaining 5 seasons.
This is not to rubbish ENIC’s achievements, of which there are many. Indeed the club has not been lower than 8th now in 12 years a fantastic achievement in itself. But facts are facts.

It’s called ‘fouled’, you idiot.
I welcome idiots at TFC, but please use our terminology.
Although Im not entirely on board with my portly friend's colourful language, he does have a point. It's not "our" sport, it's just sport. Regardless of its origins, to try and claim ownership and dictate the terminology required is a nonsense

hes come out and said that?
Got a link?

Seems like everyone is on the same page and happy with what’s happening.
Conte says it would be foolish to:
- ask for new players and
- spend a lot of money
He’s speaking in a second language though so who knows how he would put it in Italian.
Our last decent season before enic took control was 1989/90 when we finished 3rd.
After that we had about 3 seasons when we finished 7th or 8 th but for the most part we were in the bottom half of the table until Jol got us 5th place in 2 successive seasons in 2005/6 and 2006/7.
So my point was enic bought when we were far from our peak - even though our history said we were a 'big club' and part of the one time 'Big 5' Clubs (surprisingly then including Everton).
Since then its not been a straightforward ride although we have been in european competitions with the exception of one season since 2006 - no small feat given the english clubs we need to compete against, and we've done better on that score than all but about 2 other clubs.
Not enic's fault but the stadium took at least 10 years from first serious application to being built as Haringey council was not initially keen. And enic was always clear they wanted to have the club self sufficient which meant moving from, WHL to a stadium which could deliver those kind of revenues, only to be delayed again by a couple of years by covid.
In 2001 had you asked Levy at the point enic took a controlling stake in Spurs how long it would be before a new stadium would be built, I suspect he'd have said 'not more than 10 years with luck'.
So its certainly true its taken longer to get to out current state, than anybody thought likely which is obviously frustrating. On the other hand one of our Big 5 rivals, Everton, have a long difficult road to get back to being a top 6 club, and other 'old' rivals such as Villa are not much better.
And some our managerial choices haven't been great (Ramos for example) - but that's true of other clubs as well and ManU post Ferguson have had a worse run of managers than us despite their money, Woolwich post Wenger are struggling.
So overall I'm inclined to view enic, warts and all, as having been reasonably successful at rebuilding Spurs.
And with Spurs now broadly self sufficient for the future and propped up by a £150m capital injection at the present I think we can look forward to the future with a degree of optimism - even though the opposition of petrodollar Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea still benefitting from Russian money, ManU's still big revenue streams won't make things easy.

20 year old athlete fills out a tad shocker. What the club should've done is starved him & stunted his growth, that'll stop the injuries!
Legs like breadsticks. Shame, he's very talented.
No shit somebody I knew years back worked in a recording studio that hosted Stevie, and claims that he was the best air hockey player he ever saw- was apparently unbeatable. Seems ridiculous, but maybe true, and fun to think about if nothing else.
Everton though? They're totally fucked. They may as well have Helen Keller at the wheel.

Wasn’t the GLC’s loan the first signing to follow a loan with an obligation to buy. Wasn’t it to avoid a sell-on clause or some sort of payment deferral?
