If Frank goes from 17th to 5th with this squad while playing Champions League in midweek he's a goddamn hero.
Look, in reality we need both and a top 6 club which isn't run by Levy would sign both.
Woolwich signing Eze, Zubimendi etc whilst finishing 2nd for a few seasons in a row, signing Rice for 100 million.
It's quite simple, their owners are going for it. Not recklessly, but they are putting the money up. Levy is the curse we just can't get rid of. Constantly sucking our spirits dry by doing far too little year in year out.
We just finished 17th. Yes we won a trophy but let's be honest, it's a one off. We just got into the CL.
Yet once again we are scraping the barrel in terms of ambition.
I used to get angry about it, but now I'm just detached.
I don't think I'll ever get into Spurs like I used to until Levy's gone. Only way is that Frank performs miracles and fosters something special with a squad and makes us challengers and a proper team again.

Last part is exactly what Levy is banking on. A manager who can have us outperforming on the cheap and is happy to work with what he's got.
You know players and especially good ones can adapt and play slightly differently, it’s not that complicated. Is Arteta going to have to play exactly like Glasner at Palace. Players understand where the space is. It’s more natural than you think. It’s not pieces on a chess board.
I do agree a bit on Eze being inconsistent and going missing a bit in games he’s not perfect especially off the ball. But technically he’s miles better than kudus who is head down, raw still at 24 and lacking in football intelligence. We need quality over position in the final third right now.
Sack off the Champions League, focus on the league and a domestic cup.
Ally Gold said on his video last night his understanding is that Kudos is a player of interest, but all this noise is from the West Ham side drumming up interest because they need to sell. So i doubt we're really after Kudus
Postecoglou said that after the January transfer window closed he decided he would focus the team's attentions on winning the Europa League. Surely that means the league wasn't the priority from then onwards.

We should probably save ourselves the time and hassle and just close this thread. We're not signing anyone good. Just more children and bargain bucket freebies.
We finished 17th last year, and we're not going to improve the squad? Yeah... we're fucked.
Then only reason we built the new stadium was to stroke Daniel Levy's ego. We were conned. Apparently the new ground was supposed to put us in a new financial stratosphere and give us more spending power. Did it fuck. Now we have to sell to buy despite having the lowest wage to turnover percentage in the division.
Highest paid chairman in the league? What a cunt.

My bad Hotspur way the training ground
Don't you think the Spurs fanbase will have realistic expectations after finishing 17th?
I would be more than pleased if we get the PL- and CL-titles.
More akin to a magician if he does that.

Guy posting in transfer thread suggesting we close... the transfer thread lol
I watched him in his first season as he was someone I had heard a lot about from
Ajax. He was one of the most exciting players in the league, scored some incredible goals and was a constant threat whenever I saw west ham
play. Even if you disregard his europa league games he put up good numbers in the prem in a team which don’t see a lot of the ball.
People pretending kudos wasn’t one of the most talked about and hyped players at the end of last season is so disingenuous.
Levy can handle rejection better than any other owner . I wonder if the school disco prepared him
if we go back to before we won the cup and ask ourselves how we thought the transfer window would play out we're pretty much living it right now: sign on our loans permanently, sell off romero before we buy the best available player who's on the cheap and hope he fits in and drag it all out to the last day. i think the cup win and cl qualification and levy's bullshit we-want-to-win crap got us thinking we were something different. but we're not
it's like we want it to be one way...
