What are you gonna do if it turns out they mean the women's side more than the men's side?
Moving him over to Forest at the break would make a lot of sense, but that would also mean taking a loss and making a deal with their owner. He has gone from a 50 million player to maybe 35 million
He spent 160 million on Richi, Johnson, Solanke alone,
Saying Levy spent money is one of the worst arguments ever.
As ignores so much of the absultes shyte he has brought, the wages wasted, and players that left on the free.
Dreadful argument.
And where have I mentioned Eze or Forrest? So much projection, and bitching about points never made.
That's right. He followed the direction of people who insisted that we needed to spend more, so he did.
No, it's just a fact which contradicts your own argument that Levy didn't spend much. It completely obliterates it, in fact.
What, shite like Keane, Berbatov, Lennon, Carrick, Bale, Modric, Van der Vaart, Sandro, Lloris, Vertonghen, Walker, Toby, Eriksen, Lamela, Dele, Trippier, Son and of course raising the wages of Kane? Most of these players made a name for Tottenham by breaking into the Top 4 and defeating reigning European champions, before challenging closer for the league title than at any point since the early 60s, and reaching a European Cup final.
So what the absolute fuck do you imagine you're saying? Because you sure as hell aren't making a good case against our transfer strategy. You're just making statements; stupid, easily debunked statements with no value.
Then who else are you whining about? The two transfers we wanted but didn't get were Eze and MGW, and Levy wasn't at fault for either of them.
Dreadful argument, indeed.

Berbatov and Keane, who he then sold and replaced with Pavlychenko and Fraser Campbell in the same window, as reward to Juande Ramos for winning the cup.
Hilarious, absolutely no context at all,

..and Crouchie and Defoe, not to mention buying Keane back from Liverpool for less than we sold him...
Funny how you forget that context. We also picked up Modric that window.
This describes every single claim you've made.
You say: we're used to Levy not spending. The CONTEXT is that Levy has spent the 4th most over the past 5 years, in terms of net.
You say: Levy bought shite. The CONTEXT is that we actually bought many good players who performed very well for us, including multiple top class ones and even a few worldies.
You say: we wanted players but Levy was in the way. The CONTEXT is that the players we wanted but didn't get didn't come because of a prick owner in Nottingham and Eze's childhood affiliation with Woolwich.
Every single time the context shows that your argument is dogshit. Sorry.
As for Brennan Johnson himself, has he been worth the 50m we paid for him?
Well, depends on how you look at it, I suppose. From the wing, young Brennan has been part of 34 goal contributions in the league since we signed him 2 seasons ago. That's more than Grealish and Garnacho combined. Plus another 10 in various cups, including the winning goal in our most important trophy since 1984.
Doesn't seem like quite a 'waste of wages' on 'shyte' to me...

More waffle...
Yeah Levy got some good players in, but then the was no squad depth. Even under Poch, the drop off from the starting 11 was shocking.
It's laughable, you ignore so so much.
How many players left on free this summer?
Name any other team that had to give a player away, because they didn't know how many players they could loan out.
He got Lamela, but then swapped him and £30 mil for Gil.
Just another clueless Levy fan boi.
Fixed that for you...
I agree that we never managed to get a second XI the same quality as the first. That's rather hard to do, when you're up against unlimited resources.
Funny, because I'm the one who keeps reminding you of things which prove you wrong...
3, apparently. Are you mourning the loss of Fraser Forster?
Woolwich look like they come close, considering they gave 4 players away this past window.
I agree that Gil was a disappointment, but at least we also picked up Bentancur that window. Also, Gil didn't cost 30m pounds. He cost 25m euros.
Funny how we always have the facts on our side whereas you anti-Levy cultists have to wantonly make shit up and then parrot it to yourselves in order to pretend it's reality.
It's always the same.
Anything to say about Brennan Johnson's 44 goal contributions from the wing since he got here..? Is he just shite that we wasted wages on? Do tell...
Johnson is on 60k a week. "Fans" seem to act like we are paying him 250k a week, and comparing him to the likes of Salah and Saka.
Johnson has 0.47 non penalty Goals per 90
Saka has 0.24 non penalty per Goals per 90
We know that Johnson is not very good at providing service to our strikers; and is better as a finisher. When Kulu and Madisson are back; along with Simmons and Kudus we have a lot of creative passers in the side and Johnson as a 2nd striker will be banging in goals for fun again.
Right now, Frank is focused on stability and is playing a 3rd midfielder in a lot of games to establish more defensive awareness.
Johnson could do nothing for the rest of his Spurs career and he will still be worth the 50m we paid for him because his goal won us the Europa Cup
100% been worth it. He scored the winner on the Europa league final that has us playing champions league football this season.
Has he been dissapointing? Yes.
Has he improved as a player since we signed him? No.
Would he be worth 50m now? No.
Was he worth it? Yes.
TBF though his best position is RW , he's getting benched for Kudus
I very much doubt Levy has had much say in player selection for some time.
That’s on Hitchen, Lange and Paratici and the relevant managers.
Our recruitment has been poor, paying too much money for mediocre players, but that rests firmly with the recruitment team in my eyes.
Whether Levy should have improved the recruitment team is a different argument.
the sight of Brennan Johnson coaxing a rat off the pitch after Thibaut Courtois failed to get to grips with the invader
Much divided opinion on Johnson, although I cannot fathom why people don't want a Spurs player to do well, unless they demonstrate a lack of respect to the fans. Ndombele, Bissouma and Lo Celso to name 3 more obvious exponents of the dark arts.
Clearly Johnson is ls lacking in confidence at present,and must know the challenge is on, for club and country.
Johnson's primary quality, some will say only quality is his calmness in front of goal and of course his goal threat. Absent at present.
I think we will see goals from Johmson and in that streaky fashion, starting soon, but long-term and to be a regular starter, he may need to move on.

he'll prob be on the bench v Villa unless Kudus has come back knackered or crocked. If we go ahead they will push up with a high line and he could look very dangerous 2nd half.
