Especially when Biss and Bents can leave on a free next summer. Given our seriously low income to wage ratio, it’s hardly going to make a dent in it if we bring in a couple of new central midfielders whilst paying Biss and Bents for another 12 months. The reality of them dropping down the pecking order will likely see them leave this summer anyways.
Left Forward is a disaster in the making:
Son - finished
Richarlison - injury prone and not good enough
Tel - potential
Moore - inexperienced and a good 1-2 years behind Tel
Solomon - injury prone and not good enough
Johnson - like watching Bambi trying to outmuscle the Hulk
This just sounds like sour grapes Mark. Honestly
Levy has had his pants pulled down and yet again one of the richest football clubs in Europe will start the season woefully short and ill prepared.
At this rate, we'll soon be blaming the owners of all 19 other Premier league clubs when the reality is the problem lies at our own front door.
Our owners are shite. They're stale, They don't prioritise football and quite frankly they need to sell up and fuck off
And that’s fine, but the US sovereign wealth fund hasn’t bought any football clubs.
As soon as he continued to train and then turned up on their tour it felt increasingly unlikely he’d come. If players want to move one thing they do is strike to a certain degree. There was no sign of that happening.
Optimistic news?
This is a spurs forum we dont do this kind of stuff here...
Mgw signed a new contract at forest that’s all.
With loose reports we’ve moved on to Elliott… I don’t know how I feel about it. He’s a completely different player to MGW, he’s got a very good shot on him and is creative but he seems to float about for Liverpool as opposed to having a set position. For me, I don’t see how/where he fits into our team. You’re probably looking at Maddison competition but I don’t look at Elliott and think instant upgrade.
This shit show is actually hitting worse than others because I stupidly actually started to believe that things might have actually changed. We won a major European trophy, seemed to back Frank by getting in staff he wanted, signed Kudus and next day we were signing 60m MGW and talk of finally some investment.
This is why this one hits different cos I'm actually pissed with myself for thinking things might have changed.
This just reaffirms what most of knew, we have owners who don't give a shit about competing or doing what's best for the football club they only care about the entertainment business.

If anyone still has appetite for the ITK chancers
"Prof on coys:
There is some truth to this. Perhaps not 'knowing', but 'strongly suspecting'.
Yes.
If it turns out his decision was partly influenced by a personal situation, this post might be considered quite a mean-spirited thing to write.
The rational amongst us wouldn't be surprised if it was at least one of the factors.
My understanding is that this is untrue."

Transfer window closes 1st September so we could be playing our first 3 premier League games (Burnley Man City and Bournemouth) with Kudus as the only improvement to last year's starting 11.
Our first game is 3 weeks tomorrow..
What an absolute waste of the last two weeks waiting for this shit show to play out.

I’d rather go for Grealish for a couple of years than Elliott. Obviously Eze is the one but we seem to be happy enough to let the scum sign him rather than pushing the boat out to bring him in.
I can see the sense in signing an experienced Palhinha in central midfield but Grealish has been poor for a good couple of seasons and will demand astronomical wages. Albeit a different style of player, he’s the next version of a veteran Sterling and Werner.
We finished 17th and don’t pay top wages. Winning a lesser European trophy doesn’t make up for either of those things in terms of our ability to sign important players.
Normally clubs sell their best players to teams that are better than them. I can understand why Forest refused to contemplate selling to a team that finished 27 points behind them. It would be humiliating for them.
All going well then.
My god we're smooth operators in the market. Doesnt matter who the staff are, DoF come and and yet we're like silent assasins.
We now have the £70m Guehi money from January AND the £60m MGW money to invest. Very smart.

What is Lange doing? How does he still have a job?
Probably shouldn't be surprised by this news (though I am).
Last season, I reached a point where I detached myself from the weekly defeats. It was self preservation, but it helped. The Europa League win was amazing. And yes, I started feeling hope again.
But the lack of ambition being shown by Levy is unforgivable.
Need to figure out how to get that coping mechanism kicking in a bit earlier this season.

How has this farce demonstrated anything?
The only thing that would demonstrate we are willing to spend is actually fucking doing it.
