I don’t mate, if you read my posts you’ll see that the last thing I do is expect big signings, because I know who owns our club

What I do is question why we don’t make those signings

We been sold a lie

The new stadium is game changing makes us compete with the top teams all I see is the same as when we were in whl

Is it so bad to expect us to get someone game changing 1 time just once. There is nothing wrong with wanting the best for your club. Too long we have been starved of success I only wish to see our boys lift a trophy and bring a tear to my eyes. I want to experience that at least once.

Why is Isak unrealistic? He’s at Newcastle, a club with an even shitter recent history than us

We are more than rich enough to afford him and he’d leave that cesspit there to come down to London any day

But you’re doing what Levy wants, you’re writing signings like him off as unrealistic

Isak has said himself he wants to stay. He went there because of the project to win things and he feels at home there.

Again, if the selling club don't want to sell and the player doesn't want to leave. It's UNREALISTIC.

Woolwich, the super dooper ambitious club, ruled themselves out of signing him this summer because of the fact.

We were rich enough to sign Mbappe mate. He'd still laugh at the fucking fact that Spurs fans thought they had a chance.

Players say what their agents tell them to

If we dumped 130 million at Newcastles door I promise you we’d leave with Isak

it's unrealistic because the person in charge of the club is very realistic, Newcastle would want at least 120 million, that's probably on the low end also. yes we could probably afford it but that is not how we are run, it never has been .

now please be excited for much much cheaper alternatives

Whilst we're at it, let's throw in an extra £100m for Bruno too.

Not just on the pitch, but off it

Let people know we are a club that want to be at the top and will do what is needed to get there

To be honest, after last summer and even Jan with Dragusin / Bergval, I went into this window with renewed optimism, then delighted with Archie Gray early business... then it looks like its all back to normal for us.

Still time, meltdown for me is scheduled for Friday 16th August 19:59pm.

We dont have to accept that at all. Thought that was the whole point of the stadium move. It’s just that we've got conditioned over 20 to 25 years to think that way. Not to say i think it’s sensible always buying ready made stars but sometimes, for the right player it should be an option.

its not because of the stadium - it’s because we are in the Europa league and we’re not chucking oil money at players.

The stadium helps as an attraction and ability to sustain our players on competitive money - what it will never do is make us beat the elite clubs to an established player. Only a sustained track record of success can make that happen.

Do you think getting some of our business done late last season had an impact on our poor start?

As I said earlier I’m not expecting those signings

I’m questioning why we don’t make them

ENIC have conditioned us not to expect them

Spurs net transfer spend per season according to TransferMarkt.com

19/20 - 86m €
20/21 - 97.2m €
21/22 - 61.3m €
22/23 - 141.1m €
23/24 - 151.4m €

What kind of transfer spend, in your opinion, would count as backing the manager?

Backing the manager doesn't mean the million of pounds spent or wasted.

Levy doesn't let managers pick the players they want, he wants to buy young to have add on value but it's not working. One example is how many rights backs since Walker left and still not sorted, how much money has he lost on Aurier and how much losing on Royal? It's not only the money, also look at the trophy cabinet but be warned take a duster with you.

The bottom line is Levy is good with spread sheets and he's sh!te on the footballing side.

Look at woolwich, they were struggling and see where they are now, because the owner doesn't pick who to buy, the manager and his side-kicks do.
