Figure of speech... Get angry etc.
Some trfs don't get done for legitimate reason.
.......Contest that basic fact all you like.
Can't say I've heard/read ENIC make comment about the trfs we were discussing tbh......
I'm just thinking about the champions league theme tune - "the champions" (of the summer transfer window) 
Sacking managers is avoiding the blame for not providing the squad what it needs to win i.e., sacking Poch when the squad got burnt out from 2 transfer windows with 0 new players?
and what was the real reason that 2 TW passed with no players?
Club didn't want to pay going rate for the quality of player that actually improved that squad.
Much easier to avoid taking blame for that so fire the best manager of the last 40 years.
Wankers.
Btw, I'm typing this very calmy. One is not stomping ones feet. My fingers are passing over the keyboard like a butterfly stepping quietly out of your mum's bedroom after giving her one.
Mate, you've turned a comment about the availability of two specific players into a full fat, multi-post, everything rant about the owners whilst descending into mum-gags.
.....'Calm' or otherwise; it's massively out of proportion.
I don't think all of our players are crap. CBs are bad, all of them even Romero despite what other Spurs fans say, he's awful for Spurs this season.
Hojbjerg and Bentancur are good and have had good seasons. They just do not fit your roles they are being put in but both have been two of our better players this season. Skipp and Sarr have rarely been given chances until later in the season but they also do not fit the formation used.
Kulu and Richy are good but have had injuries and Richy playing out of position. Son has been misused.
Emerson is improving but he's not a natural wing back, he's a good defender learning how to attack.
Perisic and Sess have been awful.
Lloris has been awful.
Overall, I would say players have either been played out of position or not used enough more than players just being crap.
Was the last comment really necessary?
You are right. I apologise.
Depends if we can convince Our Winksy to stay next season or if he's off to Real .
Probably fair
I get a "probably fair" and Mrs. P gets the apology?
You're a strange kitty this evening.

Family commitments hence Italy was his choice.
So you are 100% wrong. Again.
Didn't want to go to PL to Spurs or any other PL team or elsewhere in europe despite offers
Wasn't there some kind of thing about him needing to stay in Italy to ensure he was granted a passport?
(Or was that some other CB that was chatted about last summer?)
August
We have 8 players being paid 100kpw or more.

IF NO CB'S MOVE ITS A GOOD TO ANY CLUB (DESPITE SEVERAL OTHE£R CLUBS WANTING CB'S) THEN IT CLEARLY IS NOT ONLY A SPURS PROBLEM.
Similar issue with RWB's last summer
Despite the best efforts of TFC the sum total of good RWB's ....... was Hakimi at PSG who might move for 80m ........ all other ideas knocked back by about 90% of TFC posters.
Hence Spence with 2 seasons in Championship (probably 4th or 5th best league in europe after PL, German, Italian and maybe French) with 3 FA cup ties against PL clubs Woolwich, Leicester and Liverpool, and not looking out of place, looked a decent prospect. Probably confirmed by being RWB with Rennes as they best PSG with Mbappe and Messi 2-0 in Paris.
Conte desperate for Porro (THREE times Spence cost) with same issues as Spence, being great going forward not so good tracking back or defensively. And we now know Porro is a work in progress as RWB.
Fact to take away - the transfer market is an illiquid market, not that many top players available in any window, and plenty of suitors competing with Spurs. So set your expectations realistically.
Yes something of the sort - either he or wife born in south america (Brazil ?) and needed several years residence in Italy to get Italy passport.
Sadly beyond the comprehension of some fans brains that players have personal lives and do not always respond to money/wages.
We were a distant 5th in points per game. Closer to brighton than either United or Newcastle.
Underrated take. This is almost certainly the main reason. The crazy fixture schedule took its toll
Affected everybody equally.
The way Spurs treat the cups and give preferential status to certain members of the squad, exacerbated by Conte's (and Poch's, if you remember) bizarre reluctance to substitute until self-defeatingly late in games adds up to Spurs handling fixture congestion worse than anybody else. Drives me mental.
