Just most ignored...... If there was a 'most binned' list I wouldn't be on it.
Never binned, never ignored. Never carded or warned.
One may be incoming now for excessive smugness mind

.......How do you know no-one's ignoring you though?
Clearly because I'm un-ignorable

Me neither. You can be a cunt it seems, just don't fucking antagonise people.
Thats prob 3 transfer windows. 60 mil in each. Not a huge outlay in todays terms
It isn't that bad in net terms.....
Apparently City average about 100m net per year these days. Meanwhile Klopp has apparently averaged 30m net since he got there.
Again; it's about smart successful recruitment as much as anything else.
No lack of self awareness on my part. Me being on the list is nothing new...... Point isKaneDomBadBoy had been teasing me about being on the list and I said I wouldn't get too cocky as he'd be on there soon enough the way he's been carrying on trolling every thread with Kane-hate...... Lo and behold; poof! Pretty 'impressive' work with such a low post-count and no racism.
Early days yet, but as I think about the group he brought in in the summer, I don't think there's been an invisible performance out of any of them. Good mentalities, impose themselves on the game. Conte has the same attitude.
Gil needs some time in the weight room, Romero needs to behave himself, but the right personality is a place to start.
We need quality now. Technical ability with the ball.

The invisible players are the ones we didn't buy.
No RWer, no back-up striker, no AM.
We have Kane and Son going through bad patches right now and zero chance for anyone else, in the starting 11 or bench to score a goal.
Yeah besides his apparent role in getting Nuno, I think he’s done quite a solid job especially as he seems to have played a big role in landing Conte and fixing the managerial issue.
No way we get a player of Romero’s quality and profile if it’s just Levy and Hitchen running the show. Emerson looks like finally a proper RB replacement. Gil and Sarr are needed infusions of youth. Gollini a solid back up.
Plus it seems like we agreed to fees with Lautaro and Torres but were a bit unlucky to not land land them. Speaks well to Paratici‘s contacts.
We’ll see now if Levy and Lewis take the handbrake off and let Paratici and Conte cook in January.
The question there is whether that has to do with Paratici or the men who control the money.
We were clearly after the likes of Lautaro, Vlahovic, and Traore which indicates Paratici knew what we needed but we failed to come to financial terms. Doubt that has anything to do with Paratici.
No question the task is incomplete. January will be a monumental challenge. Vlahovic just seems like an impossibility, prove me wrong Fabio.
Given that Nuno was a glorified caretaker, we're probably better off just biding our time with Lucas and Bergwijn than having spunked 40-50M on Traore (we could still sign him if that's the kind of player Conte wants).
It's the lack of support at striker that's just galling, and more Paratici's fault than Levy's since all we needed was another Vinicius-type stopgap. Just a matter of preparedness.
I certainly don't want Traore because he can't score.
I think we should have got a player that could cover at striker and RW someone like Thuram or Madueke that would fit in multiple systems.
Well if convincing Levy and Lewis to part with money is a performance indicator for our DoFs, we’ll never have a good one.
Paratici overhauling Spurs' scouting set-up to make it one of Europe's best
Exclusive: The Italian is putting the processes in place to ensure that Tottenham can spot and snap up the best young players from around the world
www.football.london
The club's managing director of football has not wasted time since his official arrival in July in evaluating and looking to improve all of the departments at Spurs that ultimately serve what happens on the pitch, an area in which the club have declined in recent years.
As part of that overall process, football.london understands that the 49-year-old Italian and the club's technical performance director Steve Hitchen have been undertaking an overhaul of Tottenham's scouting set-up and network to ensure it becomes one of the game's best.
Paratici, who spent 11 years at Juventus cultivating and growing its renowned scouting department, is keen to bring Spurs in line with Europe's elite clubs.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy had chased Paratici for some time and when he eventually got his man, he did so by bringing him into a newly-created role with more power than previous sporting directors at the club have had, a position more akin to the role he held at Juventus.
With Paratici's sway and vast experience, the investment in Spurs' scouting department is now expected to match those at other top clubs in the Premier League and Europe.
As part of that process and with that expected increase in investment, numerous new recruitment roles are set to be created at the club as they seek to bring the best and brightest young players to north London for new head coach Antonio Conte to have at his disposal in the seasons to come.
This week a new video scout role was advertised online, with the successful candidate set to report directly to the club's chief scout Brian Carey.
The role, which will involve "working irregular hours" is advertised as working "in collaboration with the scouting, data and analysis departments. The role is to form a crucial part of the club’s recruitment strategy by targeting teams and players through video reporting".
Among the responsibilities of the role, the advert states that "the primary focus will be identifying younger talents with help from the analysis and data departments to filter players" while also "completing video scouting projects on leagues and nations which are not regularly covered in a live capacity".
That advertised role is expected to be the first of many at the club that are created in the weeks ahead as Paratici and Hitchen complete their overhaul of the scouting network.
Spurs' transfer dealings have been hit and miss in recent seasons, particularly while trying to fit the club's profile of bringing in younger players who can be turned into stars.
