Quite an unusual welcome to Spurs video
DickheadYou managed to spell « condescension » correctly but not « you’re ». Well done though - good try!
Spelt that right havent I
Oh and wanker
Could be interesting.
With Chelsea bringing in a lot of players this January (is it 7 ?) at mega amounts, there may well be a number of Chelsea youth (they and Mancity generally take many of the best English talent) who's contracts are up in June who will want to move on as there is no obvious pathway to first team.
So maybe Jude Soonsup-Bell could be the first of a number of opportunities of top young talent on the move - and if Jude feels welcome, others may follow if they fit our needs.
We need cbs and a keeper, not a crocked winger.
He scored against our u21s earier in the PL2 season
His goal at 1:07
I'm very keen in principal, but there's no evidence of a pathway into our first team either (and they have a better record of their youth hitting the big time than we do).
They're pretty much swapping U21s for U21s and with anyone that makes it into our seniors; before you know it, our fans at least, will be clambering for them to be sent out on loan which is pretty much what their future at Chavski holds anyway....
From a player perspective, I find it surprising.
Last thought; since when did they let players come here.... Let alone anyone they think is worth a fig?
No chance at getting a keeper in January.
And it was already out there that the club was looking for a forward, rwb and attacking mid in the window
I wouldn't be surprised if we low ball Roma and see how desperate they are to get rid since he won't accept Bournemouth and ac Milan won't pay.
Their fans are also threatening him big time now
Didn’t think we dealt with them full stop , maybe different now with Roman gone
That's a great point.
EPL have always counted Davies as HG.
99% certain UEFA changed the rules and Davies is HG.
Pretty certain Lucas will be dropped from UCL.
If Porro comes surely one of Doc and Royal will leave?
Gallas? Cudicini?
Back 4 vs back 5, apples and oranges, wingback in a back 5 are barely even defenders, what they do going forward matters a lot more than their defending. In a 5atb system a centre back can move over to mark the gap left by a wingback knowing full well he still has the other 2 CBs covering the centre. There's no hiding for fullbacks in a back 4, even Walker got a lot of shit for his positioning the whole time he was here.
It’s reductive to say Levy is incompetent because there are things that have been done very competently and things that have not been done competently. Some things have been done as well or better than anyone else. So to brand Levy incompetent is rhetorically satisfying but not very helpful.
Did you have a typo in your original comment? I don’t understand it but let’s not beat a dead horse.
It is ridiculous to think that one would not affect the other. As far as i know it was Matthew Collecut who said it wouldn’t affect spending. Whoever it was, that was dumb as shit. We had the evidence of Woolwich before and it’s just common sense. I don’t think anyone should have been duped.
That’s fair. I think until 2018 we were performing to a strong level and performances have dropped since then. We reached a CL final and finished top 4 which is a good level of performance and one we’ve fallen from since.
The level of performance we had under Poch was the second best in our history. It was frustrating not to win anything but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. We were good enough to and with a bit of luck we would have. Great times to be a spurs fan and I’ll look back on those years fondly!

And the thing is, when you get close but don't get over the line then you are not good enough in your current incarnation; do the same thing, get the same result. So something needed to change...and it's not wasting half a TW to get Janssen FFS...for more money that you bargained because you played games and one of your chips came off the board...another oopsie.
See above. It was stupid for anyone to say it wouldn’t affect the transfer market. It obviously would. We put around 400m up front for the redevelopment and that is money that wasn’t there for the playing squad. None of that changes the reality which is that we had less money to spend for a few years.
Considered deadwood.... Didn't he threaten them with sabotage in order to force his way out of that sess-pit too?
Keep disagreeing with my posts. I love it.
