Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

FWIW

And yes I know it's probably bollocks, but what isn't?

But an ITK account I follow has quoted Romano's Savinho tweet to say that "No truth in this, Spurs still pushing and City still looking at replacements behind the scenes"

If so, that would also back up Trix's info from this afternoon.
 
Newcastle. Though I doubt they'd pay £60m.

That was my point.
Howe is manager who might want him.
Swap plus
Levy’s biggest football failure is actually not even a personal one imo.

His issue is he’s incredibly shite at reading and picking talent, and he has no clue what he actually wants. He is constantly conned into hiring the wrong person, listening to the wrong advisors, trusting the wrong agents and people. Our strategy is a whirlwind of wild swings from one philosophy to another because he has zero personal conviction. He has poor judgment and I think it stems from being a bit of a weirdo who lacks people skills

I think this is about it.
Levy has just not got a good eye.
He rated Winks and Skipp as players. And Sherwood as a coach.
He has spent too much on mediocre players that no one else wanted - and has not got the brains to overpay for the right player.
He basically has a ceiling
 
Both were very talented and Chelsea screwed up big time. Lookman had a decent chance at clubs lower than us. Not saying he isn't a good player but I suspect he's looking for a big pay day and I don't think he's that level.

He used to look fairly bright at Lester......

8 G / 1400-ish EPL mins (1 per 175mins)

......That's not so bad in your early 20s.

How any poster who knows football doesnt see the potential in Garnacho is beyond me. Why the dimwit wants to go from bench to bench is one only he can answer but we are utterly lost.

Not saying we could have got Garnacho, as he, like so many players only wants one of three or four teams.

Insane window,and one in which we have embarrassed ourselves, even if we accept that Frank has probably drawn the line on average players

Bingo.

Poor Frank will have to roll out the same thing every manager has to.

"Look, we know we needed a bit more strength in the squad, but it was a difficult summer. The club have been great and worked really hard to get signings over the line, but it proved too difficult. I'm really happy with the squad and feel like we can achieve what we set out to at the start of the season. A big thanks to Daniel and Johan, not an easy job, but I'm very happy with them".

Bookmark this. You know it's coming in some shitty variation.
Bump
 
When Simons goes to Chelsea I hope we can agree this is the ultimate failure window
This is the window when we finally realise there are only about 30 men left on earth who actually don't mind playing for Tottenham!

Literally everyone else and their clubs want NOTHING to do with us!

Are we THAT despised and awful a proposition as a club to play for??

What about the STADIUM....?
What about the TRAINING facilities??

That's GOTTA count for something, right?
