Dele Alli certainly.

Lloris - not a best ever player, but our best ENIC goalie.

Son? Depends on the quoted fees, but probably a small loss.

Dembele, Verthongen, Toby, Rafa VDV.

Probably a few more if I gave it some further thought.

I think it's a trick question, really. How many clubs don't, eventually, sell their best players?

To not do that means they either leave for free or retire at the club, and the best players don't really retire without stepping down a level normally - or going back to their hometown/first club.

What even is the yardstick or the value to the metric, I don't know.

Top clubs replace existing players with better players.

Levy always sold world class players and replaced them with several cheap, young players; on low wages.

On one occasion he bought 6 wankers and Christian Eriksen.

Does that help?

And yet Levy bought basically all of the best players we've had under the ENIC tenure, by the same logic.

He bought all of the players in every team that qualified for the champions league.

The entire peak Poch team was brought to the club by Levy.

He also bought every one of the players that won only our 4th European Cup in the history of the club.



Not too difficult to 180 this

All of those players were past it at the stages they sold.

It's the:
Modric
Bale
Kane
Walker
Berbatov
Keane
Carrick

Calibre players who were at their peaks and were sold.

When you throw enough shit at the wall, some will stick. That was Levy's strategy and rightfully cost him his job, because he got it wrong most of the time.

He missed he big opportunities to go big when we had a base of star quality - we’ve probably had 3 excellent sides that just needed two or three players to win the league and he tried to be clever every time, and missed

Not sure this is entitley true, not many clubs are able to replace world class players with world class players, let alone us.

Literally all sold to one of the top 2 teams on the planet at the time of sale, bar Keane who was also not at his peak...

It sounds like you were expecting Levy to have us competing with United and Real Madrid at the time of these players sales which quite frankly, is delusional.

You're also focusing more on the fact we sold them, than even had them in the first place, which shows a massive, massive bias.

Erisken,
Verts
Toby
Lloris
Dembele
Son

all kept past their peak

Players get bought and sold by all clubs, it happens. Deal with it!

Players often want to move on from clubs and when they’ve made their mind up there’s little more you can do but to extract the maximum fee possible eg Isak.

Liverpool sold Coutinho for a huge amount and reinvested it into a world class keeper and centre back which moved them on.

When we sold Bale we bought more misses than hits.

Where we have been poor recently is recruitment where we have spunked huge amounts on mediocre players.

Your argument is very one sided, the same as Kosher Kid Kosher Kid
 
The supporters are the most important people at the club.

Levy treated us like shit.

I will never give him any credit for being a greedy cunt.

He was a proper greedy little cunt.

A small man.

Levy did the bare minimum for the supporters and paid himself top dollar.

The stadium was built with resources borrowed from the banks; in THFC's name.

Fuck him.

He's got his pile of cash so he will be happy with that.

He doesn't need my approval.
Not at all the ramblings of a mad man!

:mourloopy:
 
Friedel was better than Lloris.

Arguably Robinson for several seasons too.

No fucker wanted Lloris in respect of clubs bigger than Spurs.

If they had; Levy would have sold him.

He was Levy's dressing room snitch btw.

I got that info on good authority.
You are having a major meltdown here buddy... there is no universe where Friedel or Robinson for that matter were in the same league as Lloris let alone better than him.

Come on

Lamela was a cult hero in the end and gave good service to the club. Yes, he never lived up to his potential but I would take him in this squad tomorrow...

I think that's every club's strategy. People just don't 'see' the same things at other teams. There are very few teams who haven't had a reasonably moderate hit rate in their transfers.

No Friedel was not better than Lloris.

No, you didn't get any info that Lloris was the dressing room snitch.

Quit lying, clown.

We had more misses than Peter Stringfellow
