What a cluster fuck.
Imagine being told what to do by your Mrs' dad.
Maybe he should grow some balls. For a start, he's from Hereford area, which is about the same distance to Manchester as it is to East London.
As for her having a career of her own. She's worth in the region of £3-£5m for doing fuck all requiring talent or a base to operate from.
Jarrod Bowen earns aprox £8m per year. And he's an elite sportsman.
He should tell her and her dickhead old man that if they insist he stays in London, he's off to Tottenham.


I can see it now.

Feel like Danny Dyer and the rest of the ICF boys might give young Jarred a knifing for putting on lilywhite lol
 
OR...

The club gave De Zerbi a list of who they had been currently looking at, and he's signed off on some and will also add/has been adding his own suggestions.

We’ve not seen too many of those suggestions yet… maybe they are out there.

I doubt we bring people in unless he signs off on them, quite frankly.

Do you doubt that? Really? Been a Spurs fan long?

Only thing I agree with you on is that Lange should 100% have gone by now, and we should have sorted a DOF already.

Looks more and more every day like he’s going nowhere.

But your post and mine is all speculation - who the fuck knows. De Zerbi won't stick around if he gets fucked over, simple as that.

Mine isn’t speculation though. Lange and Vinai are still here. Robertson, Senesi, Savinho are all from Lange’s list for Frank. There isn’t a new DOF leading recruitment strategy.

Those are all facts

Been a spurs fan longer than you, ya former gooner. :nunothumb:

And nope, speculation not facts in terms of what you were implying. Same as my post.

Learn to read, or grab a spoon and eat from my shitty arsehole.

Do not reply to me again until you've gained 3 degrees, and walked around the world twice.

Transfer window hasn't even opened yet so let's wait and see.


We will only really know at the end of the window, you are right

Although, as it stands, easy to say it looks like 'same old same old' isnt it?

And after we were promised change.... I dont blame people getting a bit nervous about it

The Mr West Ham stuff is odd. Comes from the Welsh borders and learned his football in Hull.

De Zerbi won’t quit yet, he’s getting paid a lot.

He’ll give it a year and then after that he might do a conte then

He's not Mr West Ham. I think he's a good lad who appreciates the 6 years of PL football he's had there and the idolisation from their batshit mental fans.
He just pulled the wrong woman for his career. You wonder how long he'd actually have stayed but for that schoolboy error.

To me it seems inconceivable that you would frustrate and undermine De Zerbi.

It would not only be the fans and De Zerbi himself who would go ballistic, but the players as well.

I think we all need to show a degree of patience and common sense, at least for now.

I get it, but like I said, I doubt very much that De Zerbi would stick around if he was getting fucked over.

Not worth saying much more on it until we see what happens for the rest of the window. Sit back, relax, and snort a bag o' sniff.
 
What striker can we sign that is an upgrade on the current Richarlison/Solanke combo?

I'm being deadly serious. I know neither are great and both are injury prone but what strikers in the prem are easily better than them? Welbeck, Tiago and Calvert Lewin all had better seasons but we've seen Solanke and Richarlison have equally as good if not better seasons before we signed them. The only strikers in the prem who'd be 100% an upgrade are Haaland, Isak, Ekitike and Watkins.

Every Summer I hear we are selling Richarlison and signing a new striker but who do we get that will be better next season? I like the idea of going young and signing someone like Kroupi or even bringing back Troy Parrot as a good long term play but I wouldn't really expect either of them to outscore Richarlison next season.

This just comes off the back of reports what we are looking to sign Moises Kean. If he's the best we can get then I'm really not sure if we can actually find a suitable upgrade for Richarlison. Ask Everton fans which one they'd rather sign back and they'd all tell you Richarlison!

I'm not advocating for Richarlison either. I just can't see a suitable replacement and I don't want us selling him and not bringing in a replacement.The only realistic upgrade which excites me is Marmoush. Does anyone have any other names which they'd like to see us get to replace Richarlison? Its Marmoush or keep Richarlison for me.

Haha I've been saying this for ages, the striker market is crap...seems like people are waking up to it now :D

TBH we're not the only team suffering, teams are finding it more difficult to buy forwards now and it's getting increasingly harder to score goals in the Premier League, there's not many prolific forwards out there who guarantee you goals.

We just have to be clever in the market and De Zerbi needs to earn his salary.
 
Can't help but think of the scenario, Iraola joing Liverpool and all of a sudden Senesi has a change of heart and follows him.

I know it is all been ITKs and paper talk about him joining us for all this time, causing frustration and anxiety for official announcement. But you just feel it is déjà vu with ENIC.

It would not only be the fans and De Zerbi himself who would go ballistic, but the players as well.

What actions have ENIC, Vinai and Lange taken in the past to make it inconceivable that they’d do that?

It’s starting to look ALOT like Vinai and Lange are still here because people hate them enough to distract them from the actions of the Lewis family…

They are the new Levy.
 
*say this in a black American accent*

Nah how in the hell did you you not know that


Literally the reason everyone always says he'll never come to Spurs
I only found out a few days ago too. Something to with actively ignoring anything to do with that horrific little pretend tough guy and his immensely untalented daughter. If it helps I've never watched Eastenders, Corrie or Love Island either. Ignorance is indeed bliss.
 
Everything we’re seeing so far about the clubs actions points to the same old behaviour.

Lange and Vinai still here
No new DOF
The same transfer targets they wanted for Frank

There’s nothing tangible to suggest anything has changed.

De Zerbi won’t go before the season starts but he’s not stupid, he’s not hanging around trying to scrape together a team from a squad built by ENIComics

Explain to me exactly what you have seen done by the club

not itk
not aggregators
not people on twitters

actions that you have seen.
 
If Everton are going for Hackney we should be going for this Everton midfielder instead but the fans will have a meltdown :D

People aren't ready for it though.

Garner pops up all over the leaderboards for progressive passing and the like in the PL. But he's just signed a new deal until 2030, I can't imagine Everton are eager to sell.

On some level the question is what can RDZ do to bring Garner-like performance out of now 20 year old and quite experienced Archie Gray, who has the mentality and the technical qualities to do it.

I am not too sure we just miss a progressive passer. We need a creative passer. I am sure our guys will be better with progressive passing in a progressive system that makes sense and is structured. But we need that spark to split defenses and create goal scoring opportunities. Maddison and Xavi are these type of players, but injured.
