Thought it was going to say we might be swapping them back for a second there
People sure ... and again they'd be the tiny minority. This forum overwhelmingly thought the summer transfer window was great, there were maybe less than a handful of dissenting voices & they got shouted down/disagree spamm'd.
These 'toxic' fans you're talking about aren't as prelavent as you seem to think.
Just to put some figures into perspective, Spurs are one of a handful of clubs likely to make £100m or so profit - treat that as a proxy for cash generated (although most cash received in summer when we receive tv money)..
So in January we might have £50m or less to spend (half the £100m as we spend rest in summer transfer window)
That means paying one release fee upfront means its the ONLY new player we might afford in January.
That's why most clubs 'haggle' to pay transfer fees over a few years - it means Spurs can afford to get more than one player to join in January.
That's called normal practice
200 million Euros in the transfer market is backing Conte, whether the scum buy Caicedo or not.a minute of silence for that "spurs fan" convinced that tottenham had already bought porro, spent more than Woolwich on the transfer market and fully backed antonio conte
Funnily enough, I only talk about new signings once they’ve actually signed
Fair point on the Twitter thing. I exaggerated.
And overall, we do have a very reasonable and patient fanbase which isn’t reflected in this, the most rabid forum there is. There are a few on here that seem like they won’t ever be happy with what we do, such is their distaste for the owners and their apparent love for all things Woolwich.
And I include you in that group these days Totts. You’ve gone from an informed poster on football matters to someone who just seems to want to wind up Spurs fans. Hopefully you can find your way back to the middle ground.
Could see us dominating games with that lineup
Will be fucking gutted if Scum get their hands on Caicedo, he's like a more technical version of Ngolo Kante.
Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Bellingham are going to be among the best CMs in the world for the next 10+ years.

The use of the summer transfers has been worse than the deals themselves. The summer transfer window was by no means a bad one.
Just from what I've seen on this forum and across social media. Tottenham has the most toxic online fanbase of any club in the big 6
I assume that's because the decent fans don't vent online. And instead are part of those incredible fans away at Fulham. Supporting the team and the coach.
We’d still go two down by half time.
How much dough have BHAFC made in the last few years?
Again, polls about the summer transfer window were overwhelmingly positive. And a lot of the time the more 'patient' fans are the ones shouting down dissenting voices, the Levy appreciation threads shows us this. It just depends on where the teams at during that time. The other side isn't any more tolerant when it flips and we're doing well for a bit.
You & others mistake anger and a hint of bitterness at the fact that they're essentially everything we'd want from a Spurs team and we're well ..more or less the same we've been for years. And the relentless positivity despite what we perceive as shortcomings winds us up as much as the praise for how they operate apparently winds you up .. so it goes both ways.
Do we? I've heard fans booing at half time more than a few times this season.
Nope. Which is why they won't be selling him.
If he's worth 60m now, he isn't going to be worth any less in the summer where they can at least look to replace him. They'd be fucked if they lost him within the next week.
City fans booed at half time vs us .. reasonableness is relative, compared to fans of lower league teams? Probably not. Compared to the rest of the top six? Yeah .. our fanbase have the patience of a fucking saint.
I mean FFS Brighton were booing the team a year or so back because they'd had a dodgy run and were in mid-table. BRIGHTON !!!
With justification to be honest. But yes, overall, I believe our fanbase understands our place in the grand scheme.
Not sure anyone on here is relentlessly positive about us.
What is winding me up is the love in for Woolwich today. They could cure cancer and I’d still think they were a shower of cunts.
Weren’t they saying earlier in the window that they wanted £85m from Chelsea?
