Kolo Muani has worse composure in front of goal than Sterling. For the price he’ll cost, he has flop written all over him, I’m sorry

Don’t see what the hype is with him and some think Vlahovic isn’t very good. I even read people talking about Thuram the other day. An average player if I’ve ever seen one but because he’s in the French squad he’s brilliant. If Kane goes we need someone who has scored goals regularly and will continue to. Vlahovic is one of the few who we could get who could do that. Don’t get me wrong,I’d be surprised if Utd or Chelsea don’t go for him.

Well fucking obviously 🤣🤣🤣 I'm sure clubs would all have been happy with all their signings completed in May.

But it's one big fucking reach to think we in would be in any way hindered if we signed a centre back on the 1st of August

I didn't say anything about May, just maybe within the next week or two at tops.

Whatever, man. Most people in the game.would say it's beneficial to get as much early business done as is possible. I guess you know better.

:pocheyes:

Why not?



I'd have thought every day on the training ground matters (#early as possible) so why not?

Because it’s in Australia and takes a full day to fly, then another day or 2 to get past the jet lag.
unless those 3 days coincide well with the game schedule you’d be flying them out for 1 game and they’d be behind the rest of the squad in terms of match readiness.

Let’s see how it goes but it’s pretty unlikely any business in our out is happening during that tour

Not really what's just been put to you, but ok.......

I was addressing the amount of crystal-bollocks being served up....... You're relentless at this point.

8am - Never gonna happen.
8.10am - NEVER EVER GONNA HAPPEN.
9am - Update: Never gonna happen.
9.15am - I knew it... Still not happened!

Chill FFS.

.......Everybody gets to gloat and have their moment if they are PROVED right.

I'd suggest the training sessions are way more important than the matches anyway at this embryonic stage of Ange's time here.....

IF we'll sign anyway during this period is a different discussion again; but I wouldn't expect that all the ins and outs have just been put on ice for 2/3 weeks.

Every summer you see players leave tours to sign contracts with new clubs (I mean clubs in general btw, not just Spurs).

You've been crowing like this as early as week 2....... You're not "right" until we fail to sign CBs so you can afford to wind it in at least a bit.

Some of your rhetoric has showed such clear signs of someone jumping the shark.... Yesterday's "It doesn't matter if X is true or not" is a real souvenir piece.

No one's denying this post.

yes, this is true, but the problem you always have is talk about Spurs in isolation like other clubs don't exist or that nation states or oil oligarchs haven't crashed the party and made the league more competitive.

Yes, we're one of the richest clubs in the world.

Unfortunately, so are 6/7 other clubs in the same bloody league we're in.

City/Chelsea/United/Newcastle are richer than us - So are probably Liverpool and maybe the scum?

you keep going on about 1 trophy in 20 years etc. it's a disgrace etc. etc in 2004 Chelsea came in and bought the sport, in 08 City did the same and by and large there the ones winning the trophies over the last 20 years.

even United the Monster Club that the are have won fuck all over the last 10 years!

we've been in finals including the CL final in the last decade and we've come up short ok, but this "it's a disgrace we haven't won more is extremely harsh. it's shit yes, and we've been close but no cigar. it's incredibly frustrating but we are competing with other very rich and very good sides who are as good as us.
no one's denying our great history and proud tradition but your inability to see the situation in the context of other clubs too is so insane I don't understand it.

We all love the club, we all want to win.

A agree with a lot of this but, u can still see major bloopers by our owners. Not getting rid of deadwood, asking too much for them when in the long run it would be cheaper just to get rid. Having a scouting team not fit for purpose and wasting money on duds, Ripping the fans off, getting win now managers without backing them properly. How much money has Levy wasted on sacking managers.
That's why there's a growing disgruntlement amongst the fan base.
