Hitchen asked big Dave whilst having a beer in his local Wetherspoons
If the old bastard really won’t invest, then why not sella 10% stake and use it to rebuild?
Should have asked his Deliveroo driver.
No-one apart from our accountant thinks he's a £50m player......
Most clubs desperate enough to be hoodwinked into thinking so haven't even got 100kpw (let alone £200kpw!) to throw at finding out.
Quite right. I'm old enough to remember the famous transfer committee. Pochs gone, Hitchen got a promotion and Levy has appointed 3 managers since Poch left. We've been dreadful in the market since Poch as well £12m Doherty, £26m Bergwijn, £20m Hojbjerg, Lo Celso made permanent, £11m Rodon. Loans and frees Gedson, Hart, Gollini, i wont add Emerson yet but the fact we're now looking for a replacement says a lot. We havent had a good window since 2015 and havent bought a real top player since Son that same summer. Poch may have played a part but this goes way beyond just him. Its just a convenient scapegoat.
offt - no striker, again, according to The Atlantic
Insane. Son could be out for a while. Kane will inevitably get injured as is customary around Feb/March time.
Conte should just walk from this embarrassment of a club

Handing out kisses is a marked improvement from you. Applauded.
In the January window 2 years ago Kane was injured and we had no striker, we talked of given Parrott a go or buying Piatek. How the hell, 2 years on do we still only have 1 striker?
Big Dave wouldn't have wasted 50 million quid on Ndombele.
Agree re: sale but I do think someone will take him on loan
I bet you think Levy penny pinching has done us well over the years?
I've not read that website before..... Got a link?
Honestly no idea. Rich people are very different from you and I. He’s invested 0 dollars of his own money since purchase, that’s public record.
My best guess is that he doesn’t think much about Tottenham, he tells Levy to keep the costs down, and just likes to have it as jewel in his crown. Owning a club is the ultimate rich guy fuck you purchase. Any asshole billionaire, of which I’m sure Joe knows plenty, can buy a yacht, island, or whatever. But there’s only 20 Premier League teams, it’s an ultimate item of scarcity.
He gets great seats when he’s in London, gets to say the England captain visits him in the Bahamas, and gets to brag to other rich guys. If the club is in seventh, who cares, none of his other friends own a PL team so what are they going to say. It’s a rich man’s toy.
He will be on salah’s level. I firmly believe it.
I get that but he loves money.
If they sell 10%, it allows them to speculate to accumulate….. investment company my ass, one trick asset strippers
I think it'll take us paying 75% wages (leaving 50kpw) and no loan fee to find him a loan for the rest of the season.
Vhalovic has a similar trf fee..... Who'd you prefer?
Fine, just make sure it’s a club that will give him a decent platform to play.
