Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

While we have Conte, we should aim for players of such a calibre that we may not have been able to get them if not for Conte.

Lingard doesn't fit that category. He's also 29, and has a patchy record for United. Yes he's an improvement on Bergwijn, but not a signing that shows ambition.
It's the classic spurs case of "who's available but not expensive"....ring any bells?
 
His face triggers the fuck out of me.

I wouldn't be able to cope.

Sticks and stones, Matty lad…

Who was it that said:

“It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory.”

Would Bill Nic have settled for a 6/10? I doubt it.

On Lindgard, try to imagine him doing that gif while wearing a Spurs shirt and then tell me you weren’t a little bit sick in your mouth..

Whilst that's a very inspirational titbit, it's also absolute bollocks. It amounts to running around trying to sign players out of our league and ending up with fuck all when the "club" shuts.
You can't see any sign of success in that failure. In fact, it's gross negligence to refuse a few 6/10's in favour of no one.
