Superb post
And yet so many people invest so much of their time passionately supporting/defending /apolosing for their beloved chairman and his investment company trolling/milking our club and it's fans.....
It's absolutely bizarre. I said in another thread, every Spurs fan I personally know wants them out. Every gooner and chav I know wants Levy to stay!
I'm convinced this could be used as some case study for budding psychologists in the future.
Getting sick of seeing links to a "next Mousa dembele".
A notoriously unique player. It isn't going to happen.

Love Dembele, Bentancur is possibly a better player.
Some of our fans seem to actually enjoy us being the laughing stock of football and the butt of all our rival fans jokes.
They want more of the same. Like a spanking fetish I suppose
What a wonderful club woolwich are.
Brighton, one of the highlights of a dull premier league season, and coincidentally 2 of their best players get disrupted and end up there.
Crazy thing was Demele being an attacker with a 1 in 5 scoring record before he moved into central midfield.
If only Modric and Demebele had overlapped for a season or two at Spurs.
He was Joelinton before Joelinton, which I guess makes Howe Poch, which tracks.
Again begs the question....’Where has all our money gone?”
What's the feeling on caicedo, I've not watched much of brighton
Take the financial hit and throw him in the reserves
We bought the wrong midfielder is the consensus lol
Easy to say, but there's nothing that tells us if we had signed Caicedo instead, he'd have performed any better in a Conte team or got in ahead of Hojbjerg and Bentancur, a trusted partnership.
I like Caicedo though. Fearless. It's likely he'd have had that coached out of him in a rigid system like Bissouma has. But we'll never know.
I don't think at his best he's better than Bissouma. But he's a year older than Pape Sarr so that should tell you all you need to know about how high his ceiling is.
Sporting’s final is tonight so hopefully tomorrow/Monday we finally get the Porro deal sorted.
Good player, with Partey injured, hopefully Brighton lead them on then keep him until the summer.
They can replace him though.
If you offered me Pape Sarr or Caciedo for the next 7 years, I'd take Pape because his ceiling as a footballer is so much higher and he has that ability to be where he needs to be defensively. Longer strides to cover ground as well. Caciedo is ahead because he's already so fucking strong physiucally he wins duels at prem level. Sarr will get there.
Joelinton isn't close to what Dembele was.
I can’t wait to become the 3rd most spender club in the world
The closest though. Can't boss a game like Dembele can but a physical presence in there, who's good on the ball, press resistant and a unit in the process.
Too many of the "Dembele-replacement" type players have tended to be good physical players who are press resistant and under 6 ft. (Bissouma, Ndombele, Seri) But Dembele was much more than that.
He's aided alot by Bruno Guimaraes in there but he's transformed his career tremendously well from a struggling striker to a brilliant central midfielder.
In fact, Guimaraes was one that we should have targeted as a Dembele replacement. Funnily enough.
Brighton is an incredible club for developing players. If Sarr was there he would have played a whole season by now and probably have £100m price tag on him with Chelsea going nuts.
On a side note we cannot sell Sarr, he just has talent in spades. Our CM is fine, Bentancur, Sarr, Bissouma, Skipp and Hojbjerg. We have real depth in that position.
Right, i didn't even really clock he used to be a striker. He came from Germany?
Guimaraes was on one of those "Sensible signings for Spurs" videos . Turns out it was a good shout. Can see why the club wasn't keen to buy from Lyon again, though.
