Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Why would we sign him at all. Fucking nuts thinking he should play with us now. It’s hard for me to comprehend why some in here think that signing a poor player for where we are at and where we want to go. The contradiction is mind boggling!!
100% ! Some on here want better and to buy top
Quality but then are happy to have KWP back.
Keep saying what conte said we should be buying 2/3 top quality players every year with a few leaving. Bolster the squad with some promising academy players. That’s what city do they have plenty of academy players but also go out buy quality. Not always for big money.
 
I hope that he is aware of the fact that he is a cult figure within Spurs lore despite never having played for the club.

He should 100% be invited to play in whatever celebrity game that we put on next.
Wasted his own career not coming here tbh, if he had ever signed I am utterly 100% convinced he would have become the 21st century Pele and break the Ballon D'or stranglehold of Messi/Ronaldo, we would have won every cup going and my dog never would have gotten hit by that car.
Football's biggest "what if".
 
Tonnes of CBs who weren’t fast had amazing careers - Puyol, Terry, Adams, etc. if he can be as dominant in the air and duels in the PL as he has been so far in his career and you pair him with someone like VDV then you have a proper defence.
Wasn’t just the lack of pace, had slow feet on the turn, didn’t cover quickly

Agree pace not the be all and end all

And VDV is not a CB by the way, he’s a LB ;-)
 
Not really sure how much there is to gain from a Champo loan for either of those guys, but that may be the best we can do.
Get rid of the deadwood like Davies and stop buying unproven young foreign players for big money then give these guys a chance. I do t want to keep hearing they need a loan. Why does t the sane apply to players like gray, Wilson, tel etc. they are all similar age and are imo not any better than our academy boys like donley, Devine, Moore and dorrington. I’d be gutted if we send them all out on loan and then never give them a chance. Just imagine if as Ange says he threw the league in Jan he give the mi utex Tel had to Moore. He would have got ole Ty of PL experience by now and we’d be able to gauge his progress much better. But no we have to buy a £10M loan player to come in and supposedly make an instant impact. Total BS!

They did but the game has evolved massively since then. The days of cross the ball at every attempt meant that teams often needed towering centre backs. Whereas these days the better teams look to cut you open with quick passing. Add two aerially dominant centre backs with the turning circle of a tractor and they’re going to get eaten alive,
 
So jealous of the way Liverpool do their recruitment.

They are going to sell Quanseh for 40 million to Leverkusen and sign Guehi for about 40 - 50 mill as a much better replacement.

Guehi will be the long term replacement for Konate as they faze him out.

Already signed Wirtz for a record fee (hope he flops).

And Kerkez will be a quality signing at LB.
Quanseh is no way worth 40M!
 
Also the constant glazing and ball sucking of Liverpool is boring as well, we're all guilty of it I suppose but it gets a bit tedious when you read it every day.
I think it’s bcos they seem to identify the right type of player and go for it. Not always spending huge sums but sensible purchases. They also move on players unlike what we do. We give one extension to players who should have gone ages ago.
 
We are not in the same planet as Liverpool since the 3rd year of Klopp.

They bought better players on better wages than us whilst we built a stadium. They've now been pretty much going for the league for the last 6 seasons whereas we've been all over the shop.

Players don't just go to Liverpool/City for wages.

I fucking hate pool but fuck me what I wouldnt give for their owners. People say American owners are bad but look at what they have achieved at that club and how they operate. They actually act like a big club whereas our esteemed leader only talks about it


Yeah I bet you were saying this last summer too right ?

The Liverpool wankfest is gross.
