Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I like to ensure my posts are lengthy, factual, descriptive and intelligent.

Yeah I'm starting to reach the point where I don't think we bring anyone else in

By the time we get the door slammed in our face by Eze and Savinho , the likes of El Khannous will have already been snapped up

I genuinely think our strategy is to drag these two deals out as close to the end of the month as possible and use it as an excuse for no more incomings

Where this club is concerned , cynicism should be the order of the day

None of us know if one or both of the deals have been done, or not.

The 'strategy' isn't to drag any transfer out (we didn't with Kudus or the failed MGW transfer).

Once agreed legalities of the contract, finance arrangements and medicals have to be set up.

So if deals were agreed between the two clubs have been agreed then it's not as simple as it sounds.

Regarding Kudus i would guess that the deal was agreed possibly two or more weeks before the announcement was made.
 
We are 5/1 to win this game tonight and we should have had all the signings completed but the liar who unfortunately leads our club has no ambition.
This game could be very humiliating for us.
 
“Guehi needs assurances over game time ahead of World Cup and happy to run down contract“

Which is probably what will happen with Eze should he not get sold.

Can Palace afford to lose ~£90m??? On those two? Would any club accept that?
 
Rodrygo is probably a much more mature version of Savinho and Pep can be choosy with unlimited oil wealth. It’s like a fancy restaurant leaving for you elite cuts of fish they don’t need.

It’s why I’d much rather buy City or Real castoffs than first team mid table players. Generally a much higher standard.

It’s a player-to-player decision for me, normally I’d target a youngish player who is struggling for regular playing time, Savinho fits this.

I’m not touch current Grealish or Kovacic with a bargepole - Palhinha fits this and it’s irritating me no end.
 
This is up and running now on SC Begging Thread

Those in SC between them all send thousands to two people, that they have never met.

This is no worse than receiving and email from a long lost Uncle in Zambezi who wants to give you a million pounds, but they just want you bank account details in order to transfer the money to you.

The "running cost" of SC is stated as the need for the money, so playing on the heartstrings of stupid, gullible members.

Quite pitiful really.
 
It’s sad how easily we can get duped. Everyone even myself fell for the bullshit again. It’s clear we aren’t close on either Eze or Savinho at all.

Eze AND Savinho together will never happen. One, only one, may happen at the end of the window.

They’re just big name carrots thrown to a very frustrated fanbase, likely because they know there will be protests at the Burnley match after we get thumped by PSG tonight and have zero fit 10s or LBs entering the season.

Levy still hates us, Lange is still a bed wetter who can’t close deals, and Levy is still a tightwad who cannot resist haggling over everything. I would love to be wrong about this but we’ve seen 20 years of it, I’m very well-versed in how this will go.
I know I’m generally a negative Nancy about Spurs, but I think all this noise is just the classic “we tried” BS to make it look like they’re ambitious.

I’m expecting an unknown 16-17 year old N’eze or N’savio on deadline day.
 
But all this we tried bullshit just piss the fans off even more, giving false hope.

Don't think it's anything to do with that. ENIC have their model for negotiation and just apply it coldly irresponsible of 'fan noise'
