Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, the most obvious eventuality in human history goes and occurs...
I think Ben Jacobs has woken up and thought ‘I fancy winding up a few spurs fans today’
Where are the ENIC apologists now?
We’ve got a net spend of zero even though we’re the 8th richest club on the planet
We’re about to start a season yet again with Emerson and Davies as full back reserves
We’re about to start a season again with only Richarlison as a senior striker
I don’t see how people can defend them, it’s so clear to see

Peps no fool
Stay tuned for more mental gymnastics today!
I'm still waiting to see how Spurs, who don't get penalties, will benefit from Toney, who mostly only scores penalties.
I don't give a shit about age, personality, bans etc. No bias there.
I just want
False 9
to explain how a penalty scorer helps a team that rarely gets penalties.

They're busy selectively picking out the seasons where we spent a lot and hiding the many seasons we didn't, to try to paint a picture that we're fucking massive.
It's like watching Flat Earthers making their case at this stage. They both need medicating.
Do you reckon anyone else agrees with you?
Be nice if a few others mentioned it
Stay tuned for more head burying today
Until they say something that suits your agenda .
You realise I've been asking the club to sign Toney as well don't you?
Didn't think that one through did you...
Asian cup winners and now net spend, we have done the double, Bill Nick will be happy that we have emulated the achievements of his team
No one likes Levy. The two groups you’re describing are the people who know how we do business and the people who suddenly think things will change. Talk about mental gymnastics
No one suddenly thinks they’ll change, we’ve been conditioned by ENIC to know that won’t happen
What we CAN do is question why
That its come to who is preferable out of Toney or Solanke. We signed Gary Lineker and Jurgen Klinsmann once upon a time.
This feels more like when Sugar gave up pretending to care and we started signing Chris Armstrong.
But if we're heading into the 2 bald men fighting over a comb discussion then Solanke but thats more on the basis he isnt a knob.

Plenty of people on here have said that our forwards give the ball away too often, and that is part of why we leaked so many goals last season. They want upgrades in the front row that control possession better, and fwiw I agree.Toney > Solanke. The numbers don't lie
The Toney advocates point to his physicality and hold-up ability, implying that is going to help reduce our turnovers.
But according to FBRef, Toney had 620 possessions last season, was tackled 10 times and made 198 incomplete passes. That's a 33.5% turnover rate.
Solanke had 1069 touches, was dispossessed 60 times and made 144 incomplete passes, a turnover rate of 19.1%.
Turnover rates for Spurs forwards last season were Johnson (25.4%), Richi (22.7%), Timo (21.5%), Kulu (21.4%), Son (17.4%) and Gil (17.3%).
Ok turnovers are affected by team style and quality of the players around you, but Toney's stats don't suggest that he would improve one of our key weaknesses, ie high front-third turnover rate.
People actually believe him. That’s the worst thing about him posting or even being posted in here.

Maybe Toney wins a lot of penalties or is at least in part responsible for them?
Kane certainly did. His little antics in the box leaving us is the cause for our dramatic drop in pens - more so than officials being mean to us.
You know why. We all know
