A year away from top flight football wont help him.
I hear ya.... Overpaid tarts that have the nerve to flounce around portraying themselves as veritable slaves the moment the slightest thing doesn't go their way.
its like fucking brexit in here. one side pig ignorant and the other slightly facist.
No, you're not, that's the point I am making, you don't have to respond to anything or debate anything, you can do as you please, I just don't see the benefit of you constantly calling other posters whiners, or negative, for someone who wants things to be so positive all the time why are you always bringing negativity in the way you speak to others?
It's a transfer thread, people are going to have opinions you disagree with, if you can't offer a counterpoint to their arguments why not just hit the disagree button and move on instead of trying to silence them with insults which add literally nothing towards the discussion related to transfers?
Again, most people are not denigrating the club or players or manager, quite the opposite actually, many of us want more signings because we love the club, we want the players to stay and we want the manager to stay and be backed, we also want the club to have more success on and off the pitch.
Nobody is saying "This is a shit football club, I fucking hate the players, hate the manager, hate Levy, hate ENIC, we are shit, we're going to get relegated" but I think that's how you read these posts? It certainly seems that way.
I don't think it's unfair criticism to suggest we need more signings mate, you might disagree with that and that's fair enough but I can only speak for myself when I say it's a great time to be a supporter of this club and I am happy regardless what happens but that doesn't mean I don't want more for us, if that is me denigrating the club in your eyes then so be it.

I'm not sure even that would stand to hurt his cause that badly.... I mean, even a problem child like Balotelli finds someone to pay him a wedge even though he's a serial fuck up that burns through clubs at a rate of 1 or more per season.
And then the people in the middle wishing for some intelligent discussion and healthy debate only to be insulted by both sides and called a centrist coward LOL.
i think its virtually impossible to sit in the middle. say the slightest thing pro/against either argument and you're slated as an apologist. God forbid there could ever be a middle ground.
Lol. If we're "determined not to fail" then the answer is simple. Pay.
We ALL know that won't happen, which by default, means we really are not at all determined in any way shape or form.
"I think Levy is a good businessman and chairman and we are in a great place as a football club on and off the pitch"
and
"I think if the transfer window ends like this it will be a poor window which could end up really hurting us going forward as a club" can both be valid opinions for a person to hold you know and both are just opinions that are completely subjective.
Although I would argue with anyone who thinks Levy is a shit businessman, we wouldn't be where we are on the amount of money we have spent compared to other clubs if he was shit.
However, he also has flaws and is a human and I think he's making a massive mistake that will backfire on him if this is the only business we do.

One of these with that paint job that looked like the Nike swoosh. The absolute dogs bollox.1600 makes me think of the 1970 Capri, still one of favourite ever cars
In an ideal world, most would rather he didn't want to leave and was committed.... Save for very few exceptions, any notion of "sell him and move on" is driven by his apparent desire to leave and a case of caring for the greater good of the club, not a lack of appreciation for the ability the player brings to the table (nor a lack of desire for Spurs to be the best they can be).
Sadly, we don't live in an ideal world.
Also, it's inevitable he'll have to be replaced eventually (much like e.g. Rose). At some point we'll all have to get behind the idea of a replacement; so doesn't our evident interest in Lo Celso & Sessengon represent a reasonable attempt at doing so?
Tottenham determined to sign Fernandes or Lo Celso before deadline

What a fuck up. Eriksen should have been sold by now, not running his contract down. Why are ENIC allowing so many contracts to expire next summer, perhaps there is some accounting trick they will employ ? Very odd.
Very rarely do we allow contracts to run down but you can't force the players to sign.
At the same time, you can't force sales - we were all told that the clause in Toby's contract meant we were losing him. Teams would be fighting each other to get him for £25 million. How did that work out?

It's more a case of not wanting to be held over a barrel ,than want him gone.
How would you feel if he put in an half arsed approach this season and then buggered of next summer for nish? I would respect him if he was honest about his intentions and played like he meant it.
Maybe he will and will go out on high.Here's hoping.

I think we will pay because we have to if poch is to be backed and the supply of top class talent to fill the void we need is drying up, more and more I'm coming around to the idea of him joining I think he could be mustard for us and after the other night it looks like eriksen has lost interest in us.
