We're talking the Sammy-summer, Sammy. You know that summer right? That's the summer where you said that doing fuck-all was the hip thing to do. Saying sell him last summer was nothing. Even Airfixx Airfixx was making receding hairline voodoo dolls and he's normally quite the glass half-full type.

Sell high, buy low works for players too, especially when they are over-valued. I'm an advocate at all times. And as far as selling from under Poch's feet is concerned then Levy should have told Poch he signs by X-date or we move on. If Poch can't get him to sign then Poch would have known he wasn't committed.
No we aren’t because despite the local myth, spewed out by lazy pundits and lapped by twitter, our 2018 signing was Moura. We just got him very early, in January actually.

Also we had three strikers, three RBs one of which was just England’s player of the tournament in a World Cup, and KWP was still looked at as a great prospect, Eriksen, Toby, Jan, Sanchez, Son were peak, People (like now) were saying this was Deles year. Lloris had just won a World Cup, Winks was coming through, Dier wasn’t a total crock, Dembele was here, Sissoko was playing well, as was Lamela, no one wanted a LB (“Sess” was deemed an upgrade on Moura hmmmmm) and Kane was going to hit 50 goals and should never be dropped.

But go ahead and compare it to January 2020, where we have no Trippier, no Kane, no Dembele, no Llorente, no Janssen, no Sissoko KWP is for sale, Eriksen has just been sold, the team is deflated, we are bedding in new players, have a new manager and are in the middle of a full rebuild.
Fool.

Making a profit on Eriksen when he can walk and sign with any team he wants in 5 months is some move by Levy

Now the Levy out crowd will say “Yeah but signing him to a new contract would have been better”.. Eriksen was mentally checked out here, was never going to happen
As a football fan, I would be more thrilled that my club bit the bullet to go out and get the player the manager actually wants than I would be pulling one off because they got "Levy'd".
It's like we're now reduced to celebrating when we sell players!
Stockholm Syndrome strikes again

So annoying mate when a poster says “ Levy’d’” like getting “Levy’d’ does anything positive for us as supporters. I couldn’t give a flying fuck about profit or making an extra few million. What is that going to achieve for me as a supporter ? I want the club to show some ambition for once and for us to actually win stuff for once in our lives.

No we’re happy to have signed two in January that are actually for the first team with an eye on immediate impact (not a two year bedding in period) and potentially one more by Friday.

Eriksen out means Eriksen not on the pitch.
All good
 
If we can get the team looking like the following for most of the season that remains, what do we think of our chances regarding silverware/ top 4?

[FORMATION=4321,Lloris,Aurier,Alderweireld,Sanchez,Davies,Lo Celso,Gedson,Ndombele,Dele,Son,Piatek][/FORMATION]

Gazzaniga
Vertonghen
Sessegnon
Winks
Lamela
Bergwijn
Lucas


Looks pretty decent with plenty of sound options right?
No Tanganga ? Are you even spurs? If so why drop the greatest player off all time? : ostrich:

It’s equally annoying when some fans react in the exact same way they would have reacted if we did absolutely nothing this window.

We are overhauling, re building trying to sign players. Yes it’s irritating that we don’t just “pay them the money”

But who will be the first to slag Levy off for paying 30M for another Janssen? Hmmmm guess

What Inter have just done is something we would never do.

They have just paid over the odds for a player with just months left on his contract because they fèel he will actually benefit the immediate fortunes of the football team and give them a greater chance of winning trophies this season.

Yet somehow we're supposed to feel proud 'cos they got Levy'd

Have they watched him lately? Maybe it was in his contract he only gets £320k a week if he beats the first man on 8/10 on corners! :mourhandlaugh:
if however they get the Eriskenwe had a couple of seasons ago then it’s a masterstroke ,if it’s the one we have had just lately they will regret it and soon turn against him

I get that. It's this mantra that we should be lining up to fondle Levy's balls every time he turns an unlikely profit on a player.
As a football fan, it gives me absolutely zero satisfaction. I'm more interested in winning football matches.
 
Real Betis are open to selling their striker Loren Morón who so far this season has roughly a 50% shot to goals ratio. His buyout is 60 mil.

Tempted to possess Levy and make the deal so I can get a kit with the word Moron on the back.
