Staying true to form. Good lad.Ok schmoods
Thank god for the ignore button, off you fuck.
Agree, let’s hope the board now back the manager and the squad with the players we need to plug the gaps. Hope eh!!
How dare you. Spider posts all the channels you find games on which is helpful for those with IPTV.
And this place is self moderated. Someone trolling and abusive? Foul vote them. Don’t like someone or what they post? Put them on ignore.
If the turd finds the Eze fee too much sign Savinho and move on to another target.Just get the two in by the weekend yet you useless pot of shit
agree, savinho is key for us! gives us quality on the left. we can move onto another target if eze is a no go.
the problem is yet again Levy has wasted money on players that he hopes he can turn a profit on (Tel being the latest £30M wasted)
Levy could have gone down the BHA route, get a great scoutting setup, or go the chelsea route have a team of Very good players then buy players that may make it and sell once a profit can be seen

From the presser...
Saturday's match against Burnley will also see a protest before the game with fan group Change for Tottenham planning a gathering outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 1.30 pm ahead of the Premier League opener against the Clarets. Frank was asked about the planned event.
"Why are they protesting?" asked the head coach.
It was explained that the supporters group felt this summer had shown a lack of clear transfer strategy and ambition amid expensive ticket prices.
"Two things. The team needs the support of the fans, which as far as I have seen and heard and experienced in the past has been very good. That we need massively - it's a new season, a new beginning," he said. "I'm pretty sure the game will not be straightforward. I would love it to be easy - boom! job done, clear win - but we are going to face a Burnley team I have huge respect for so throughout the game we will need their backing.
"What I see internally I just see Daniel [Levy], Vinai [Venkatesham] and Johan [Lange] working night and day to do everything they can to strengthen the squad."
He added: "Without the fans we are nothing. We play for the fans. The fans are hugely important for us. Personally I am really, really looking forward to tomorrow and to lead the team in front of the fantastic fans. That’s what I’m actually looking forward to."
It was put to Frank that he would surely have wanted more than one big permanent signing through the door by now this summer in the shape of Mohammed Kudus.
"I don't think there is one head coach that doesn't want players in as early as possible but I also have been in the game long enough to know it is not that easy," said the new Spurs boss.
"I don't know how many times there were at Brentford - and a lot of people have praised how they do it - where I thought "OK, done!" and two days later it was not done. So it is not that easy."

No disrespect to Frank but he's been here ten minutes, has no right to tell long-suffering fans what they should or shouldn't do.
Anyway, hugely misses the point as the protest is planned to take place outside the stadium not inside.
The nuances and logistics of the protest are probably not really known to him. The fans will all be behind the team once they are in. Assuming we don’t concede early…
He's also using a strawman argument that Levy and co work night and day to strengthen the squad, the protest isn't about them not working hard, it's about spending the high ticket prices and other aspects of matchday revenue on some better quality already developed players.
If Eze and Savinho are acquired then the issue is more or less solved I suppose, even though Savinho is still young he's quality and PL ready.

I wonder if there has ever been another club that’s had its supporters protest about the running of the club, on the first game of the season, after winning a European trophy?
Frank is experienced but not quite experienced enough to realise we hear this little pep talk and explanation every time a new manager takes on the job
Whole load of context missing there ...
Not a big time manager. Just a manager who has got the job of his dreams so is never going to rock the boat.
Does seem a little daft.
Window isn't shut yet.
