Transfers January 2018 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

At first I interpreted this as referring to Aubameyang and chuckled.

Then realised it was about us.

That'd be even better
 
Absolutely I would be unhappy. The club would lose much of it's charm and what I love about it. It would be soiled.
So would you stop supporting them then ?
Not having a go just curious, as we all know abramovich wanted to buy spurs but it was too expensive, and there was loads of people unhappy he didnt. I agree it would be selling our soul but Spurs are my team for richer or poorer
 
Oh, I could find posts from a few who say we should be competing for the title this season. That means City.
apparently they have signed some kid for new york city for 5 million and loaned him straight to middlesborough

so its a 20 million transfer to middlesborough for that kid in 2 yrs time

the day that one of their other teams is in the more prestigious and richer league, and city become the feeder, i will laugh so hard that my remaining testicle explodes

I'd imagine he'd fall out of love with the sport and wouldn't be the only fan we have who would be disillusioned with it all. Some people would love it, some of us wouldn't.
 
Lucky he's currently in contract negotiations then isn't it.
I think the point is that Kane, by far, is the exception to the rule. Footballers, like most people, have a lot of factors to consider in a transfer - and, like most of us, the money is probably the largest factor. In the main, people in all walks of life follow the money.

Leicester won the title and players were still clamouring to get off the ship...because, money. PSG routinely signs top talent despite having nothing of substance to offer in a footballing sense...because, money. Woolwich have been arguably more successful recently than United, United still ripped away their greatest asset...because, money. Chelsea signed Barkley, who has no clue who his manager will be and has plenty of evidence that it's not even likely he'll feature, over a club with a proven track record of elite player development...because, money.

Most players don't give a fuck about what their trophy cabinet looks like when they retire, they care about what sort of house it's located in. Think Beckham stays up at night thinking about the trophies and legendary status he walked out on at United? Nah.

cant speak for spursdem, but i agree with that your team is your team. I would detest us being one of those clubs though. the first thing that happens is 99% of the support turns into entitled cunts.

I sure as fuck wouldn't waste time on an internet forum dedicated to the team, in all honesty. The victories would be hollow, the losses inconsequential, the managers' impactless, and the signings routine. What do people talk about on Citeh forums? I get that the chavs have all sorts of racist Nazi shit to carry on discussing. But wtf does a blue manc board look like? Do they just sit around reposting oasis videos?

Agreed but my point is that Spurs are me and I am spurs. whether we win the CL every year due to money or we are relegated to the national league I will always support them. I was the only kid in my class that didnt stop supporting them when relegated in 76/77. We all love the roller coaster that is Spurs as can be seen on this forum and we are all allowed different opinions. But I'm just asking HOW unhappy will some of us be i.e. stop supporting Spurs ??? :tobyarm::dembelefingers::dembelewtf::dembelelol::eriksenserious::eriksenlol::kanehand::kanegoal::pochunimpressed::pochlol:

Personally, it wouldn't take much for me to fall out of love with the game completely these days. I'm already one foot out of the door. My enjoyment of football just isn't where it was 4/5 years ago, which is crazy since this is easily the best Spurs team I've seen in my life.

Dont think I got the hang of the smiles, finger got stuck HaHa And I am old but not as old as the great Jimmy Greaves. I was looking through images on google search for Jimmy and saw this one (saved it to doc and then tp profile). Thought it appropriate to have the 2 best strikers in my lifetime in the one pic.
