Thanks, life is so much sweeter now
You were crying about going with the youth and how homegrown Pritchard deserves a shot.Jesus. What about quoting what I responded to? You requested FIVE midfielders/strikers, including Moses.
I'm talking about getting in 2, perhaps 3, TOP QUALITY players. If guys like Moses is what we're aiming for I'd rather keep the money and go for guys like Pritchard. Incredible how stupid you make yourself look in order to (try to) slate me.
This line is particularly funny considering.....I'm talking about getting in 2, perhaps 3, TOP QUALITY players.
When I suggested signing 2 AMs, 2 strikers and a CM (3 of which I said need to first team material, the other two as squad cover) it was shot down as excessive.
Our target is 4th and you think its unrealistic to sign 3 top 6 players?
This last post also states 3 first teamers.Still need IMO:
2 strikers, one to battle it out with Kane, and sometimes partner him, one young squad filler.
Right side AM first choice player, Left side AM to battle with Chadli.
CM: ball winning DM with experience.
That would be a solid improvement on the first team. Lots to be done still.
Berahino actually isn't proven. Strip out the penalties and he looks a lot less rosy. He scored 14 goals. But only 10 from open play. Almost a third of his goals were penalties.
You could. You'd also be completely wrong. But knock yourself out.I could swear you spent a year apologising on behalf of Soldado about how ALL goals count equally.....

Well, you're welcome to try and find a year of my statements saying it. Good luck. I didn't.
I welcome the contributions from some of our more more distant supporters - indeed, where would we be without their insight and knowledge - 5th! I hear some of you cry - and that is so, but many of you are choosing to say that we were lucky - that the table does, indeed, lie, and our true position was nearer 7th - or god forbid - even nearer 8th.
This 5th place finish in a difficult league was seen as fortuitous - over 38 games - THFC somehow left it's incredibly loyal fanbase fishing for luckies. Astonishingly, some even saw this as a failure - as if champions league football would be secured at the first attempt, while simultaneously building a new stadium in a hapless manager's first season.
Many of these commentators have criticised the fans that do go to the ground - as if it's somehow their fault that the atmosphere is poor on occasion - this atmosphere would surely be improved by the compulsory attendance of our US, European and Australian supporters, but that is not going to happen - booing from the sidelines has sadly become the norm, and we need to really dig deep to make the transfer to the new stadium, a worthwhile, and enjoyable experience.
P.S. Pulled this really pretty media type girl tonight, who claimed to be 27, and was Bob Marley's greatest fan. We're listening to Toots and the Maytals now - and she's making cheese on toast. Isn't it sexy when a woman takes over your kitchen - she was unimpressed with the contents of my fridge though - well, tough. Amy says hi.
P.P.S. Fuck Tottenham.
P.P.P.S. Not really - I'm in the grip of a 27 year old woman who's questioning my devotion to a sorry football club - good for me - she'll be gone after the lunchtime session - or not. Either way is good. She's super lovely.

Berahino ticks all the boxes for me.
Quite like the look of that German kid Werner however preferably to complement Kane / Berahino and back up the right side.
It's called the EPL and Sky mate. It favours clubs like Man U and Liverpool whilst rewarding cheats like Chavs and City.Unfortunately unless we have a youth player or two that explodes like Harry did, we'll be a long way off of the top 4. The last couple of transfer window our competition has brought in the likes of Ozil, Sanchez, Costa, Fabregas, Depay, Schweinsteiger, Matic, Di Maria, Sterling, Benteke, Ings etc. Meanwhile we bring in Trippier, Davies, Vorm, Stambouli, Alli, Fazio, and alderwield but expect to compete with the team's loaded with world class players. Its just not realistic to think we can come anywhere near those guys. Because let's face it, without Kane scoring 20+ goals last season we do not finish anywhere near 5th.
From what I remember they have a really good understanding.
which is important for both striking partnership and DP

Especially considering that he said this only two weeks ago.We really need a signing. This place is a shitshow right now. All the levy haters, can you at least wait until the end of the window? Who knows what'll happen this next month.
No cock. Would not bang.
why would u limit yourself for the last 2 wks of the transfer window. there will be less targets & selling clubs will know times ticking & u are pretty desperate for their player.Especially considering that he said this only two weeks ago.

So really, we haven't deviated from the stated plan.
There's a natural frustration that can creep in when other clubs are making moves earlier, and the beginning of the season (with a big-ass game against United no less) draws near, but people really need to relax...
If nothing else, we'll have an exciting August!
