But the deal didn't fall apart and then get resurrected. That's just nonsense agent/italian media bollocks.
And nobody tells me what to do!
It’s all agent media bollox
That’s what we spend the whole time talking about in this thread.

I think you're missing the overall point with their non-football activities.
Title winners in England generally feature in the top 3 for wage bill spending.
That's the less spoken about other half to the 'transfer spending' discussion. Pay the big wages and attract the big stars, win silverware.
Where we are now and where we were when ENIC became owners is night and day.
In the ten seasons preceding their takeover under Sugar's ownership we averaged a 10.8 table position, or 11th essentially. That also included UCL/UEFA participation once, and that wasn't via league finish.
Under ENIC we have finished in that '11th' or below 3 times (from 24 seasons) and none since 2008. With UEFA/UCL participation in 15 of the last 17 seasons.
And yes none of that is a trophy, but it is steady and solid progress. As is developing the training facilities, and massively upgrading WHL into our magnificent stadium.
To wind back to the top to the overall point, all that is aimed at helping put Tottenham Hotspur into a position where our financial capabilities match and even outstretch our contemporaries.
That is a gap we are closing, and non-football ventures that you mock like NFL, Concerts etc are a pivotal revenue stream that is needed to achieve the end goal. Think otherwise that's fine, but without it we'd slowly drift back to the pack with the Everton and West Ham clubs of the world.
You must crawl before you can walk, unless you're Manchester City and enter a cheatcode instead.
PSG enquired this week and Lens hit them with a firm No. He ain't moving til summer.

Came up on my feed… liked the explanation about pass % and him being a long ball merchant (in the best way, he tries numerous long balls, hence his low % completion stat).
Dragusin at 6ft 3in and Van De Ven at 6ft 4in would be very useful for set pieces.
While being the most successful and richest – and may “best” run - club in Europe they’re also the most self-entitled and cynical club and see themselves above the law
They’ve gotten both Alaba and Rüdiger on a free and this coming summer they'll most probably get Mbappé on a free this summer. They are very good at “turning” the heads of agents & players they want and are experts in getting players they want by using any sorts of “manipulations” behind the scene. Of course, I am not denying that their success story is a major part of the attraction - but not the only one...
I really hope that the Super League they have been pushing becomes a total failure!

Dier is about 6.3 and watches balls sail past him.
An approach for Udogie? I can just see how that goes...
VM: " Here Levy, about your LB Udogie ..."
Click
BM: "Hello? Are you still there?"
Realistic time frame for Dragusin to be in starting against United? Medical tomorrow?
We'd be called crazy for claiming it ourselves, but if Sarr and Udogie were at Brighton they'd be touted as £100m+ players.
Both have crazy potential and are still so young.
Some say registration needed by noon Friday or Saturday (?)
Do as I say, not as I do.
The second part is sound advice, at least......
Looks like its getting done, I didn't even know who he fucking was 2 weeks ago. Oh well, hopefully he'll do alright.
Surely he must be world class since people were complaining that we didn't just pay the fucking money. So I'm trusting the TFC scouting department and negotiation team on this one.

I know Eric Dier has his short-comings... but he's been a great servant for the club, never complained to the press and Angelos is talking highly about him (as a person).
I really can't understand why some people have this strong need to repeatedly, day after day, express their disdain for him. It's as if there is a competition among some people about who's able to express their dislike for him the most and the strongest - and in the process thinks that makes them a "better" Spurs fan...
