All that Levy loving has gone to your head.

Tanguy Ndombele signed 2nd July 2019
517 days between those dates. I'll let you work out how many months that is.
All that Levy loving has gone to your head.
Just saying that to cover the failings of the club isn't he?
No manager could ever think for himself - they do what puppet master Levy want them to do.
Sure they say they're happy but Steve on Twitter says their eyes give them away.
I genuinely thought people have been trolling all this time when they said we didn't make signing because of Levy, it was a massive thing at the time and well known that Poch didn't want any players in 2018, I didn't actually think people truly believed anything else haha
It wasn't Hoddle actually, it was Redknapp who confirmed it

'Mauricio Pochettino didn’t want anyone… I know for a fact’ - Redknapp
TOTTENHAM manager Mauricio Pochettino did not want to sign any new players the last two transfer windows, according to former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp.www.express.co.uk
Dan KP said something similar

And Levy told the trust that Poch didn't want to sign anyone for the sake of it
New Tottenham stadium not affecting transfer policy, says chairman Daniel Levy

I recall him being a bit sulky about players like Nkoudou being signed by our transfer genius Mitchell, and spent a long time going on about how it was really difficult to move out players who he didn't want in the squad. As noted, we had a full squad for 2018/19 and his opinion at the time seemed to be that he only wanted to sign players that would go straight into the first team because he didn't want to leave players out of the squad registration if they weren't adding anything.
("If we cannot improve our squad it's better to keep it together.")
The trouble seemed to be that he was hell bent on certain players that weren't available at that time, like Ndombele.
("It's not about adding because it's fashionable to sign players. [It's about] if you really need [them] or not and then if you can get your target or not.)
Bearing in mind we got to a CL final after not changing the team, you have to wonder why people obsess over it so negatively. Liverpool just won the PL title after basically adding no one to the team.
Well if you want to be technical, that's 17 months not 18.
But if you're being a total pedant, then that's like saying any club that doesn't make a winter transfer window signing goes a year without signing anyone.
No one says that though because it's mental. Nice bingo card for the insult though
bus-conductor
has mentioned him a lot. quick search shows people have mentioned him a few times, e.g. Transfers - January Transfer Thread 24/25
Palace a grave yard he's gone now for us. Zaha, Eze ect. Honestly my dream Autumn/Sumer window to M.S.G.A looks like this. It's fully a fantasy though in reality well within the business ability to carry. Think this five over two windows would enable us to realistically fight at the top...

I don't bother keeping up with other leagues, nor do I play football games these days, so I have no particular opinion of him - but haven't heard his name before.
Ha ha! Thanks for the clarification .
So, CJJ, how many months, and how many windows without a signing?
Lyon have been relegated to Ligue 2, we could get a steal price on Georges Mikautadze.
This guy is underrated- Speedy, Skillfull, Ball carrying / 1 on 1's, crossing, Finishing, Long shots, decision making work ethic, Versatile, not a weak fooker either lol ... he's a nightmare for defenders

Now why didn’t we go for him instead of Tel?
Why does the agent need £10M for? Parasites! I always thought the players pay agents from THEIR own money.
They hadn't been relegated at that point
Good Lord, everybody in football understands it as one of the stupidest things a football club has ever done. Yet here you are, years after the fact, still defending it. The mind truly boggles.
Jan 24 I think it was and 6 months later he goes to the euros. At the same we pay dbl for gray in summer 24. Go figure!
Well regardless relegated or not why not go for him before Tel
Errm... you might find you're one of the ones denying that the manager did it. He even outwardly said it.
So here you and a handful of others are, years after the fact, still adamant that it was the club.
The same club who, under other managers, never did that. Who spent well over £100m the season before, and £130m the next summer.
Sure, it was totally the club and not Pochettino. All those well-respected football folk close to the club must have made it up, including Poch. Crazy times.
I think after the recent euphoria it would be nice to keep the feel good factor going with a couple of quality signings soon . Then hopefully one more by the end of the window , sadly I think the feel good factor will be allowed to ebb away . Have to hope Frank can work Poch like miracles improving players
Mino Raiola was the expert of the gravy train. I think City paid him more than they paid Dortmund for Haaland
Ha ha! Thanks for the clarification .
So, CJJ, how many months, and how many windows without a signing?
2 windows,
Which is twice as many bricks that weren't laid for the new stadium in your world
We don’t know as none have been given a chance
Because he wouldn't have been an opportunistic bargain before their relegation had been confirmed
