Here we go again. Anyone who dares have a different opinion must automatically love Levy.

It's such tedious, childish bullshit. What are you, six?

Levy got a lot wrong. Sacking Poch instead of allowing a rebuild was dead wrong. Hiring a chequebook manager like Jose without doing the chequebook part was absurd.

It's perfectly possible to acknowledge those mistakes and have the nuanced position that he doesn't get everything wrong and not lose my shit have and have the exact same whine every three minutes on a forum. Go outside. Get some fresh air. You might enjoy it.

Im not whining. Im stating my opinion. Which I believe I am entitled to. Every game we play Crap. Most of you guys speak about how shitty we play. You call Jose a chequebook manager and see Conté, "The Great Hope". They play the same style football. They require a unique player able to fit in. I don't get it. The problem isn't with either coach. It is with the person Bankrolling. You seem to Justify going to horse races with Donkies is going to give you a different result with José managing or Conté managing. They still Donkies. You want to win those shinny stuff that Barca, Liverpool, City, United, even Woolwich, have in their cabinets, you need to spend. You need to stop Haggling.
And ending up 4ty isn't winning. Get that into your head.

I believe TND will end up going after his loan, but not for as much as what we want, same for Le Celso.

Pushing them out like this was for me, a massive statement. Even if they don't pull up trees, I think we've seen the back of them. Similar to Dele, not a great having unhappy players around.

Gil, that's a very different situation. He's making all the right sounds, looks to be an energetic, skilful and technically gifted player, just needs to mature and get a bit stronger. Would like to see him back next season.

I sure hope they go. But they will have to earn a move, Lyon and Villareal won't take them if they're shite.

Absolute fucking poppycock.
Go and watch PSG if you're such a poch lover. You haven't said it, but clearly that's your beef.

Simon Jordan by any chance?

White and Jordan and another reporter. They said it was good business to clear bad eggs from the squad and used the wage savings to bring players with better attitudes in.
They said when the rumour about Dembele started early evening, they got on in contact with "someone close to the club" who shut it down quickly due to "not wanting any bad eggs at the club"
This is exactly what we need - anyone who isn't willing to do what they're told out and no more coming in.
They also said Conte isn't an idiot and, unless he's on TV any time soon shouting abuse at the state of his squad, he won't be walking and will be hedging his bets on the summer window.

All absolutely logical and rational stuff from a mature adult.

They're also slating Woolwich - and fairly. How did they buy Ozil and Auba for big money on massive wages and both go for nothing and not get replaced.

The way Levy handled Traores transfer matter over two windows was the definition of Haggling

But for Spurs he would most probably end up as RWB as he's right-footed.

Yeah but that’s not the point.

Atalanta have Zappacosta on the right, and therefore they’ve used Mæhle on the left as a substitute for Gosens. He also plays on the left for Denmark.

Now that Gosens is gone, Mæhle is their 1st choice/only real choice on the left.

Therefore there’s no chance of us getting him this summer unless Atalanta finds a very strong LWB.

No way they’re just gonna throw away 2 LWB’s who are both national team starters (Germany and Denmark) away in 6 months.
 
Levy is not a football man. His role is purely to negotiate financials. One of the most delusional things about football forums is that levy is some sort of super scout and director of football rolled into one. He’s not. He just negotiates financials.

....And aside of those acquainted with the Spurs-related back-story, most would say "Tommmy Who?".

Also: Tierney is an often injured fake hard-man.


Honestly, the only players they have that remotely interest me are Martinelli, Saka & ES-Rowe.

Arse are being MASSIVELY over-rate in this thread.

Don't even think Levy does that now. He probably sets budgets and that's it really. Surely Paratici is in charge of anything below that.

A gooner mate of mine really isn’t happy with their complete lack of signings.

This isn’t to justify us not getting a Kane backup but I’d take Kane and no back up over Lacazette and that young kid any day of the week. At least we still produce quality when needed.

Both Nketia & Lacazette's contracts run out in June..... They could both sign a pre-contract somewhere and start phoning it in at any moment.

+ Extremely likely to lose both on a free in the summer.

Opinions. Who's the stubborn one? I say Levys haggling looses many a transfer. I say he does it on purpose. You say it's the player.

Difference of opinion. No one is being stubborn. We believe differently. Get over it. We aren't joined at the hip you know (Fortunately). My opinion doesn't have to affect you. Don't loose any sleep over it.
