CAN SOMETHING FUCKING HAPPEN, PLEASE.

Anything. Anyone. Seriously. Just so we can talk about something other than what we've all been talking about for the past two weeks.

It doesn't even need to be a signing, a new rumour would be great. Maybe Mbappe fancies a change of environment. Can we start spreading that? If I hear Dragusin's name one more time before we actually sign him I'm going to shit myself in protest.

Admire your commitment. From this day on, the self-defecation form of protest shall be known as the Dirty Dragusin instead of the Radcliffe, Radcliffing or Radcliffage.

Speaking of which I reckon this window will be a slow and stolid marathon rather than a frenzied sprint for the khazi. Who knows what we'll get out the back end...

Sorry fella, just realised I dropped a Dragusin up top. 🙏

The whole point is, people thought he was going to step back and let other people handle transfers. if he just wants to carry on gambling with last minute buys, then we lose out.

You have literally no idea who is doing ‘our transfer business’ and who might be negotiating with whom or, indeed, about what.
Just more speculation based on absolutely fuck all from someone who is totally clueless about how the club is run.

I don’t think we would have signed Johnson or Maddison without the Kane money. If he’d stayed then we‘d have VDV, Solomon and Vicario and a few cheap deals in attack. Levy was never going to keep Kane AND spend the money required to bring the team to a top level.

Hard to disagree with this.

Quite the damning indictment of the Levy/Enic regime.

Absolutely disagreed.
FFS go back and watch our actual spending after we moved to new stadium....

It is outdated clichee that we don't spend money under Levy which has been proven wrong in hundreds of posts.
For years now, issue has been QUALITY of spending, not QUANTITY. And recently, we have also gotten quality much better levels.

But if you are a hammer then all you see is nails. So if you only live to shit on Levy then that is what you do (this last bit is only directed at TomH not Pilot...)

So our “game changer” stadium actually requires us to also sell our best player to buy first team quality players?

Why didn’t Levy say so earlier!

You clearly must not have been around over covid and missed the fact that over covid stadium attendance was minimal and hence match day income minimal as well as no none football events income.

So for 2 years Spurs were operating at negative cash flow - and hence transfers from 2020 onwards were backloaded (ie little cash up front mainly paid in arrears). Well known transfers were Kulusevski on an 18 month with obligation to buy which got made permanent last summer, Porro became permanent last summer ...... Both those deals discussed in detail on TFC and elsewhere

And its well discussed clubs in Spain and Italy etc have no money to buy players - and you honestly haven't put 2 and 2 together to understand why ?

Did you really need to be told any of that again ?

I’d love to know how this fits in (flies?) with the new regime at Spurs. Is he taking instruction from Munn / and particularly Lange or doing his own (or Danny’s) thing? Presumably the former or I can see tears ahead.

Paratici has enough credit in the bank to convince Munn and Lange about his signings. And besides, they all have to get the approval of Ange for every movement.

Rather we don't make it so obvious though. Isn't it stupid knowing that he's ban from transfer-related activities and there such tweets are doing more harm than good. Knowing our luck, I won't be surprised he's somehow get investigated again.

Man, the report came from footy insider let's be real no one takes them seriously, it's a bit of fun and even if it was the case I think it'd the worst kept secret that Fab is still involved in some way, he is an official consultant at Tottenham whatever that means
