Right, even I am getting impatient now.

I’ve firmly believed that Levy would step up with a strong football setup and provide money to it once the stadium was built and we had some decent revenue through the door. And I’ve stood by this belief in the face of many on here taking the piss.

But I’m at the point of admitting defeat here. I get the “not as easy as buying a pint of milk” argument, but the window has been open long enough for us to have done some more business. Bergvall and Gray look good, but we need a couple of top quality players in to our first team. And with the money we should have and the infrastructure we have in place, signings shouldn’t be taking this long.

”Hello Mr Player, do you want to join us and if so, what salary are you looking for?” doesn’t seem to be the most time consuming conversation to have. Levy, Lange, etc - fucking get on with it. I’ll admit I’ve been wrong all along unless something major pops soon, but I’ll be fucking furious if I have to.

You're not alone.

I still believe we'll get them in though.

If we don't, I'm likely to be breaking one of my Spurs mugs...


Maybe even two!

Is Solanke world-class? No. Is he on Kane's level? No. Is he the striker we would all sign if we could choose any striker? Obviously not. Is he potentially better than Richarlison up front? Yes. Does he have an all round game that should help improve us? Yes. Is he at an age where he can still get better? Yes.

He's a strange one.

I don't know him from a bar of soap, he's solely on my radar as a Spurs fan on Twitter who Tweets loads of ITK, I guess that's where most of us have him from this notoriety. His credentials are/were that he's an "FA Registered Agent", which I see he's removed from his bio now. But if you look at his bio (LinkedIn: Paul O Keefe - London Area, United Kingdom | Professional Profile | LinkedIn) he's never been employed at an Agency but works or worked as "self-employed" for an Agency called Catalyst Sports Management Ltd, (CATALYST SPORTS MANAGEMENT LIMITED overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK) which has 2 directors (husband and wife?), also confirmed as the only employees with assets of just over £10k, revenues of £700 per year with capital reserves of £500!! They have no website but Transfermakt has an Agency by the same name but with zero details, address, contacts etc so assume this is them, (Catalyst Sports Management - Players Agency - Player agents) that has just 3 contracted players on their books at Averley FC, Maidenhead Utd & Kings Lynn Town.

I mean, he's got a mate who works as a security guard at Hotspur Way hasn't he? If he's none of these things then I hold my hands up and apologise for any slander. But why be so Opaque?

I can’t believe there would be this much smoke if Richy or his agent hadn’t given the Saudis some encouragement yet.

Nothing more than journalists hearing that we want to recoup money on Richarlison and linking it with Solankes release clause fee and trying to put two and two together.

Right now we're heading into the season with one senior striker.

Why sell Richarlison only to bring Solanke and continue to have one senior striker. Unless of course we're also looking to bring in someone like David.

But it just seems abit stupid. Sign Solanke. Keep Richarlison.

Who says they want to come to us?
If you were Newcastle, would you sell to a rival club?

Isaak’s next move will likely be a CL contender. If you were advising him with his best interest would you tell him to go to spurs?

I’d tell him to give Newcastle another year and then get a move to a PSG, Liverpool or Real Madrid.

In terms of advising isak for his next move I'd ask, do you want to win things? If yes then stay away from that club while they're under the stewardship of ENIC

I think he’s part of a WhatsApp group that features a few randoms. Gards (I think?) who’s sister’s married to Bentley. And then a few others that have tenuous links within the club.

In his defence, he doesn’t claim to know that much and he has absolutely called names in advance of anything online.

The worst is still Trixx, who hires out pedalos.

Not at all.

There are people whose posts show a genuine interest in the club and how we play.

Then there are people like Doom Funk who only make chippy, sarcastic posts for laughs and show no interest in how we can become better and what happens on the pitch.

There is a world of difference between a Deuterz Deuterz and a Doom Funk Doom Funk
