The point is we have been top and have never shown ambition. It has already been demonstrated under Levy.

Okay Woolwich failed with Mudryk because Boehly came in. We are not even been linked with players of his calibre.

Why are Woolwich now all of a sudden Chelsea's financial rival and not us?

When we were in their position? I can’t recall being top of the league during a transfer window, but apologies if sometime has slipped my mind.

And Woolwich are only going to be a financial rival to Chelsea when they outbid them for a player. Not when they lose one to them.

The circle wank about Woolwich is stronger than usual today. Is it just because a guy on Twitter said they might buy someone?

I can guarantee that if we were in their position, and signed Trossard, it would be horrendous as we should be taking advantage of our position at the top to get the very best players on board.

Then the first sniff of Caciedo, it would be “pay the fucking money” and expect him at the training ground by lunchtime.

Woolwich do it and its ambition. Laughable.

Can you seriously not understand our fans frustration ffs!!!!

WE finished in the Champions League places. But it's them who's kicked on an backed their manager to the hilt despite being a less wealthy club than ourselves. The reversal in fortunes is absolutely disgusting to see. Yet you just seem to shrug if off like you couldn't give two fucks. It's Woolwich for God sake.

With the greatest of respect, you seem to enjoy patronising other passionate Spurs fans desperate to see our club finally make an effort to fucking capitalise and use our financial muscle to kick on.

There's no need for it tbh

Why has nobody considered the possibility that the player himself wants to play in the final before he leaves and Porro is delaying the deal?

Answered this already, because it’s completely ridiculous to suggest that if we had agreed a deal with sporting at the start of the month, that Porro would say I’m not joining you til the end of the month in case sporting make the league cup final.

Also it’s been reported by every journalist that Porro already agreed a deal with us weeks ago and it’s just been up to the clubs to sort out the fee and every journalist is saying it’s Sporting not the player who are now delaying things til after the final.

Can’t we *get* 8 points clean and then have this argument?

Yeah I can't wait for that to happen and to apparently come here & see lots of fans moaning because we're signing players.

It's not like you can literally go back and look at how 99% of the forum was on cloud nine & praising everything at the club when we spent about 60m in Jose's first window. And the 2-3 people who said otherwise got about 30 disagrees...

Woolwich are top and have spent 50 million on players already this window. We've signed a player on loan from Villareal & are haggling over a 45m release fee in the last few days of the window. Woolwich were also ready to pay a huge fee for Mudryk & have now bidded 60m for Caicedo. They are top & flying, we are 5th and in a rut.

Anyone who claims to not see the difference in how the clubs operate is being disingenuous. Does anyone on here seriously believe if we were in their position, Levy would be making 110-120m in funds available for players in Jan? They're no richer than us, we as fans should be expecting more..

So what you're saying is that they "tried" with Mudryk?

Now they're "trying" with Caicedo?

That always seems to be cause for derision when it's us, mostly from our own fans, but it's admirable when it's the filth?

Because it's part of a general trend of transfer business which has them where they are, and our general trend has us where we are. It's not at all about every individual case and whether they get every single one of them.

Simple as that, factual. I won't be expanding further as the positivity merchants/you're a gooner merchants are circling.
