What Kool Aid?
I am so confused by the way people engage on here.
Make it a double Dudu.
It's the poor manager that is going to bare the brunt of these ridiculous expectations aswell.
As far as on the pitch goes, we are on the verge of pretty much being right back where we started when Enic took over. Mid table
With poch we jumped from finishing 6th the season before to finishing 5th in his first season and people wanted him out before Xmas. In a far less competitive league.
The landscape has changed somewhat since then. And we are in a huge transition of players and tactics this pre season.
But IMO our fanbase is full of loons. I can’t say morons as that upsets people on here.
Actually fuck it. It’s full of deluded morons.
We have had two of the most prolific strikers in premier league history. We need to replace them both soon.
The deluded see it as being easy. With money it’s easier - see Haaland. But that’s not our model.
Generally speaking most clubs find it very hard to replace goalscorers straight away. Let’s see how Danny boy does.
I disagree with this.
Apart from City; Spurs can compete with everyone else if Kane stays and two new centre backs with quality are recruited.
I have to agree it is very difficult to find prolific strikers in today's market if you arent Bayern, Man CIty, PSG or Real Madrid.
Even other teams with vast wealth like Chelsea and United have struggled - Liverpool too.
Our club definitely have a job on their hands in this respect.
I agree with this.
I don't see that many average players in our starting 11 as it stands right now.
It's so hard trying to compete!
Solution?
Don't even try.
The Levy and ENIC way.

Midfield and forward areas are now balanced and strong.
Defence is still up in the air.
I'm not a fan of Romero and don't buy the theory that we only need to buy a defensive partner for him.
Porro is good going forward and Udogie seems to have the potential to match up with him down the left.
Davies and Royal are decent enough defensive full backs in a back 4.
I'm concerned Spurs will retain Dier as a starting player which is just no longer acceptable.
As a squad player; fair enough. Even then I'd only want it for a season or two at most.
Spurs need two new centre backs.
Neither Romero or Dier are good enough for different reasons.
Centre backs , left back and right back and a creative midfielder. Basically half a team, and that's hoping our keeper is decent. And a big IF Harry stays ..........that's a lot of work to get done in one window, is it not ?
You lost me with " Davies and Royal are decent enough "
With your expectations you will not be a happy fan this season. Please don't blame the manager
Game changer?
I think, giving Romero a better partner will bring out the best in him. Super Jan was deemed not good enough by many Spurs fans until we found him a suitable partner and I think this goes for many CBs.
If Levy wants Harry Kane to stay; he has to stay.
Kane can be kept here for the whole of next season.
The keeper will be an improvement on Lloris; of that I have no doubt.
Lloris has not been good enough for 5 years.
Royal, Davies, Porro and Udogie give Spurs attacking and defensive options in the wide areas at the back.
A back 3 or back 4 could be played with these players.
Moving on Reguillon, Perisic, Sessegnon and loaning out Spence is the task needing to be fulfilled.
It's the same with the centre backs.
Spurs do not have one centre back they can rely on.
We need two players to come in and hit the ground running.
Sanchez, Roden, Tanganga, Dier, Lenglet and Romero are not good enough.
I'd get rid of all of them over the next three windows.
What's the yellowcard for Lenny?
You've always seemed like I nice boy to me. Have the Levy Thought Police been at work again or have I missed something?
This is like Boris Johnson endorsing Farage
Vertonghen didn't ever run around making pointless, reckless tackles or getting himself sent off in key fixtures.
Romero is selfish and every bit as unprofessional as N'dombele as far as I'm concerned.
His attitude and application is not good enough for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and somebody should have told him this a while ago.
I couldn't care less about this player.
OK then.
Be fair! He’s just a neutral who is happy with levy getting a pay rise after an awful performance last season. Not biased at all!
5th without Kane I feel is very optimistic but at least he is being honest about what he thinks. Unlike some who support levy/enic & say it’s a great window. Disagree with posters saying we need more. Then when pinned down to where they think we will finish they say 6th. Shows how low their bar is now. More than happy with 6th. Don’t want us to get more in to improve on that. Happy with Woolwich ahead of us. Why would you not want ‘more in’ & for us to finish higher than 6th & above Woolwich?!!
