Totally - but Levy will expect him to achieve what he promised he would
I can see them falling out pretty quickly. Neither seems the type to back down.

Totally - but Levy will expect him to achieve what he promised he would

I personally think it is the quality of the squad. There are guys with reputations that are now ageing and not performing like they once were (Toby,Vert). Then there are the guys with reputations that just aren't as big as the hype (Dier, Alli). It's a tough one, as we also lack any sort of class at FB on either flank so there is just so much to do.
And you believe him. Just as you believed Poch.
Do you think managers are likely to publicly criticise the CEO who pays their wages?
He's probably putting Levy's picture on his dartboard as we speak

No, I dont.And you believe him. Just as you believed Poch.

But why say he is "happy" and not "it is what it is and we have to get on with it"
Do you believe that Levy would spend over £200m in 2 windows but refuse to buy a striker out of that money, if the manager really wanted one ?
Or is it the case that the managers didn't prioritise a striker ?

Its a damn shame they didn't get a ST on a loan to buy deal. Gambling on Son staying fit without a backup was a massive, massive mistake. Whether Levy or Mou they collectively fucked up badly.
Agree 100%
I think he might of thought;
"Ok, Kanes out but we have Sonny and Lucas that can play there, we'll wait till the summer to get a quality one in"
Of course Sonny gets a bad injury and Lucas is not that good up top.
Really wonder who was ultimately responsible for deciding to wait until the summer.
It will have big consequences on whether Jose stays down the line I think, there could be major recriminations if the season ends badly.
Yep
As I said I think it was joint thing.
Levy wouldn't spend over £200m but absolutely refuse point blank to sign a striker out of that money if both
Poch and Jose were adamant about getting one.
IMO both Poch and Jose thought they could manage for this season with Harry, Son and Lucas and decided to strengthen in other areas (The wrong areas for me), replace Eriksen etc. They didn't factor in both Kane(Poch in the summer)and Sonny (Jose in Jan) getting long term injuries.
We all know the type of striker Jose prefers, a big strong old fashioned No. 9 and couldn't get one in Jan.
Well he’s not going to quit.
And I can’t see Levy sacking him.
Personally think that nobody worthwhile getting was available. Luck has given us a kicking and Jose (like Poch) doesn’t think Troy is ready yet. But maybe 8-12 months from now they think he will be.
Or our number 1 target to play up front was not available in January. But the club knows we can get him in the summer.
Fuck knows. As long as Kane or Son don’t leave I’m relatively happy with what we have right now. The rebuild to date has been mainly positive.
Mourinho on Tottenham failure to sign new striker: I cannot lie
Jose Mourinho says it will not be easy to play in three competitions "without a striker" after admitting he does not expect Tottenham to sign cover for Harry Kane before Friday's 11pm transfer deadline.www.standard.co.uk
"There's nobody to blame and say you could didn't do your job well or you could do better than you did. Not at all. Again, we don't want a striker to just help us now. We wants a striker to be good for our future, possible to play with Harry Kane together in the future. And with the difficulties of the market, it was very, very difficult to find [one]."
John Thomas now
Having watched the Greaves video on Sky, I am sure he would prefer to be remembered as he was in his playing days rather than the picture of him recently as you show.
Yep
I like the avatar as it shows the 2 best strikers we've had in my lifetime.
You can look back in respect and love but that does not mean you can't still love and respect him as he is now.
Yep
A DM has been badly needed for at least 2 years and yet we seem to sign AMs, for example.
You could also throw into the mix a LB and RB needed before more AMs
You didn't want GLC?
To be clear:
Poch said he was happy. His mouth moved, it was in his accent, he used his words. He’s actually said he’s happy and you can see and hear him say it. But it’s not true because you don’t think so. And even more than that, you think everyone agrees with you that this was a lie or a mirage.
Mourinho then says he’d be happier with another striker. I mean, which manager wouldn’t be happier with more players? He’d have been as well telling us that fire is hot. And you take what he said as gospel?
One guy says it, but it’s not true, because well, just because. The other one does and it is.
You‘re a fucking idiot mate. You must be peddling this shite on purpose. Nobody can be this stupid.
Levy should be arrested for having very questionable supporters rights issues.
Let's face it None of us really know what goes on in the boardroom . The only the only thing we really know about are the financials and who can guess if those are correct. Remember Bernie Madoff?
It's all a total mystery. All we can do is speculate. And hope they are going to set things right in the summer.
The reason we break our records is because of the silly money players cost these days. Not because he wants to spend.
No, all we should do is get behind the club we support. That’s the players, the coaches, the manager, the board, the cleaners, the bar staff. Everyone.
What we shouldn’t do is speculate about things, you rightly point out, that we know absolutely fuck all about.
