Me too. Substantially improves the forum experience. Recommended
Tbh I think Ange and whoever else scouted him get to take credit for VDV. We have no idea if we ever even had any interest in Tapsoba. Reportedly we were but in reality that interest could have been anything from one phone call or an email to an agent just mentioning that we like him.
Shady’s tolerance probably worn thin by the unending negativity from some charters!What's worse is I'd have agreed but I'm going to tag him here (Shadydan ) he's been making some great point but he kills it with the mindless determination to tread on any criticism of the club that isn't "they didn't support Poch because of the stadium".
My solution is to stick the muppets on ignore!
I've never been one to claim that 100% of Levy action would have been wrong or that he somehow has ruined the club (unless ruining it would be taking it from on average 10th place finishes to avg 5th place finishing).
But why are you saying something like that with confidence, if not even with some pride?
Very simple question, but... don't you as a fan WANT your / our club to do more than rivals? Don't you want us to improve against the direct rivals to be in better position? What is wrong in wanting those things?
Cause I can, with full honesty, say that I feel WE should have been doing more by now.
Why? Because you have to look at things in context. Sure, we might have spent more than direct rivals in this window. But now look at past 7 years combined and picture is very different.
Also there is FFP and stadium income situation. We are in EXTREMELY favorable position. We don't have to worry about FFP - we could go crazy spending. Also the new stadium generates cash to burn. We have all the tools that most competitors don't have.
So again - why is that a bad thing that fans of this club expect the club to do more?
What you quoted was discussed a couple of days ago, shouldn't be hard for you go to back and re-read the actual convo, you'll probably realise you're kinda wrong mate but hey ho.
There's others and you're right you've clearly missed them, feel free to discuss it elsewhere other than the transfer thread though
From what I can see there are more that do than don't.
Don't mean this to sound bad but if it does I don't really give a fuck, the posters with opinions that seem to come closest to reality on MOST players all seem to like Solanke and there are admirers from the usually positive (happy clappers) and also the usually negative (doom melts).
He's quality player and fits the system IMO.
Comes off that way at times. Just as annoying as the persistent negativity tbh. It's not twitter, let's just have a reasonable conversation.
That is because his fitness coincided with his streak. The fact is his goal scoring is always clustered into short periods. On top of that he has only completed 90 minutes 8 times
Not really.
If we were going to sign Eze, we'd needed to activate his release clause.
Guehi being sold doesn't change that one bit. His release clause doesn't disappear because they sold a different player.
West Ham are having a better window than us by a country mile despite not owning their ground, a new manager, no Europe, and being run by a dildo magnate.
You can't look at things in context because you don't have the full context of what is actually happening behind the scenes...
No-one said that we shouldn't be doing more than our rivals but I'm looking at the perspective of the transfer window, it hasn't really picked up yet and the majority of our rivals are in the same boat as us in terms of recruitment.
So until then all your arguments about what we have/haven't spent so far fall on deaf ears because you're all reacting out of desperation, sorry.
Not a single one of their signings gets into our strongest team.
What constitutes a "better window"?
Surely you won't know that until the end of the season. I've seen plenty of teams "win the transfer window" only to finish bottom half.
I'm suffering with bruised ribs after indoor footie last week. Now they're fucking killing me you cunt
There's only two Brendon Johnson's...only two Brendon Johnson's...
Problem is we are not in a Dissimilar position to Utd the difference is they have made two signings for their first team. There is talk of them doing 2/3 more this window. The fact is we would have probably finished behind them last season if they did not have to play Johnny Evans at CB for 10-15 games.
Decent kid, they do like that profile over there in Ligue 1...tall & technical CM who can carry the ball from defense to attack. Missed a few games for Reims last year, his average gametime wasn't that high either, but you could tell they weren't the same side without him. Most definitely too raw for the PL, but be interesting to see how he develops with another 2 seasons of Ligue 1 under his belt. Kid needs to play 30+ games a season and 75 mins pg.
Since Ange became Spurs manager and the new recruitment team of Lange & McKenzie with a Data Analytics approach took over pls look at the forwards we’ve signed:
Johnson £50m
Veliz £13m
Timo LOAN
Solomon FREE
Now you want Solanke?
Can’t u see Levy is taking the piss
Lange had nothing to do with any of those permanent signings though.
