Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Look g at the reaction to your idiotic posts, it's pretty clear who isn't being taken seriously 😂

Back to Woolwich mania with you, you 40 year old virgin

The same 9-10 posters disagreeing with me, all the same ones who refuse to be critical of Levy and his transfer policy because they think it makes them bad supporters or "gooners" to do so...

You disagreeing with every post I make because I have somehow hurt your feelings.

It's ironic you call my posts idiotic and yet in your last 3 posts you have threatened me with violence like the big child that you are, called me a gooner because you're apparently incapable of accepting that people have differing opinions and said you are going to "run me off the forum" why? Because I have upset you talking about how I am worried we won't sign a player?

The amount you go on about people being gooners it wouldn't surprise me if you're a troll, you certainly behave like one on here towards other posters.

As a matter of fact you're going on ignore.

You've been absolutely wrecked on here.

Also, where are my threats of violence towards you in my last 3 posts?? There aren't any.

This is the problem, we have a section of supporters that are just content with where we are because of where we were before.

I have supported this club for over 30 years, I would also support us regardless of our circumstances, even if we were relegated to non-league but that doesn't mean I want us to lack ambition.

I want us to be the best football club in the world, a giant of the game and because of how modern football operates that means we have to compete financially with the Madrids of this world, telling people to basically fuck off and support another team because they don't like our transfer policy isn't a sensible way to view it imo.

Poch has the same sort of ambition and the only way we can achieve that is to start behaving like a big club in the transfer market.
I understand your point. It's another version of the be brave stance of Poch.

But, when he's gone, we'll still be here. Maybe I'm slightly too much on the prudent side, but I've seen enough big teams almost go under due to poor financial management.

Under Levy that wont happen. But be realistic, at this moment we can't go toe to toe with City or Chelsea or any of the financial cheaters.

So this rush to spend mega money IMO is risky not just by virtue of the fact the players we're linked with are relatively unproven but also by the lessons of recent history.

There's a spectrum of course; we absolutely need to strengthen the squad. But again being realistic, we have to sell those surplus to requirements and we have to balance the home grown quota.

It's so far away from being as simple as 'back the current manager or else'.
 
You've been absolutely wrecked on here. Shown up for the gooner fraud that you are. Suggest you fuck off because the majority of this forum are fed up of your nonsense.

Give it a rest and get a life. Nobody gives a fuck about your nonsensical,delusional, 'football manager' opinions.

Your pathetic attempt to get me binned of this forum because I have an opinion you disagree with is pretty sad, the "majority of this forum" you mean the few posters that disagree with my criticism of our transfer policy in this thread? Because before I spoke about this nobody has ever had an issue with me on here whatsoever.

You trying to be this cheerleader and make people believe I am some gooner troll isn't going to work because you can literally go through my entire post history and see that isn't the case, the fact you think it is shows how delusional you are.

But you know that isn't the case whatsoever, the only reason you're saying it is because you self admittedly want me off the forum because you disagree with my opinion and you think by constantly calling me a gooner that people will believe it and bin me off.

You really are going on ignore because there is no point me engaging with someone acting disingenuously and behaving like a troll, it's a waste of my time and unproductive and frankly I don't care enough to waste anymore energy on you, so, bye bye little man.
 
But we also made the Champions League final though. On reflection does not signing a single player actually seem like it was a poor decision in times where money I think tight for the club?

The only team I see as being similar to us based on the costs of a new stadium and would be Woolwich (unfortunately). Check out how many of their star players they had to sell off, season after season to accommodate their debt levels.

Do we desperately need reinforcements? We finished top 4 with a mental injury list and got within touching distance of becoming European Champions. I really struggle to see where the desperation narrative comes from.
I was overjoyed at our CL run, but Christ it was lucky. A pretty dire group performance followed by a VAR save and a last second winner only filled me with hope to what we could be with a few additions.
Our league performance? Best not go there.
And aren’t you the guy who’s spent the last few windows posting overly long wish lists for new players? What’s changed?

You threatened to ignore me in your previous post.

That went well!

All this over an opinion on football, said to someone who suffers with massive depression as well, I suggest you take a step back and try to figure out why you hold so much hate in your heart mate.

I don't hate you, I actually have no problem with you, I disagree with you opinions but that doesn't mean I want harm to come to you.

It's sad that you think harm should come to me, I have a family and people I love in life, honestly, take a break from posting if you feel the need to say horrible shit like this to people.
 
But Fulham and West Ham don't have world class infrastructures, they aren't in the same position as us, them spending £200m probably wouldn't even net them a top 4 place because of the quality above them.

It's about consistently competing for top talent in the market and having the infrastructure and teams around that talent to nurture it.

Either way, without the money for the top talent you can only go so far, as we have seen with our current team and setup, we have hit a glass ceiling.

we still having finished paying for the world class infrastructure that we have and they don't. hell, we only started using part of it a couple of months ago

You take a break from posting until you grow up and stop treating real life football like its fucking football manager.

There's 2 months to go in the transfer window. So like I said before,learn some patience. Until then, ZIP IT.

When we do sign someone, people like you don't GET to celebrate. You don't deserve it.

Nothing changed, a wish list is a wish list, not a list of demands I expect the club to adhere to.

An ideal window plucked from imagination and a realistic window where we have to deal with skyrocketing valuations, agents playing games, rival teams bidding, change of hearts etc are two very different things.

My ideal window would see 4, maybe 5 in but I'm also very realistic about the difference that exists from writing out an ideal list on a forum to the reality of running a football club and what must go on behind the scenes that makes things far more complicated than me plucking names out of the air on a fan forum mate.

I'd like fresh blood of course but I don't understand why there is a feeling of desperation about it. I'm a huge advocate for either signing the right player or no player at all.

It's a fans forum not a boardroom, we're all allowed to have a little Dream Team fun.
 
Today's BBC offering.

Tottenham have ruled out a move for Sporting Lisbon's Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes, 24, who has been linked with Manchester United. (Mail)

Manchester United are favourites to sign Argentina international Giovani Lo Celso, 23, but Real Betis have put a £67m asking price on their midfielder, who has also been linked with Tottenham. (inews)

Leeds will reject any interest from Tottenham in 18-year-old forward Jack Clarke and from Aston Villa for 23-year-old midfielder Kalvin Phillips. (Star)

Lazio have valued Albania goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha at 50m euros (£44.5m) The 24-year-old has been linked with both Woolwich and Tottenham. (Il Messaggero, via Football.London)

We need a young, English keeper. We can’t lose 3 non-HG spots to keepers
 
I am open to others opinions, I have listened and tried to understand where they are coming from but nobody has given me any reason to believe I shouldn't be concerned about the way we do business in regards to transfers.

You say "no one agrees with you" but that simply isn't true whatsoever, there is a handful of people on here that disagree with me, the same 5-6 posters, if you take a look around, on this forum and outside of this forum you will find that the general consensus in regards to Levy and transfers is one of frustration and annoyance.

So actually, the people disagreeing with me here is the contrarion view, I am trying to understand why people believe that suddenly, after years and years of behaving in a certain way, they think Levy and ENIC will suddenly change and go on a huge spending spree, we hear it every window and we get linked to all these quality players and it never materialises, the majority of our fans are wise to how Levy operates, some supporters just don't want to believe it.

Well, as it stands, it's 9 disagrees and 2 agrees and I don't see the evidence for the "general consensus in regards Levy" that you pray-in-aid for yourself - I certainly don't and many here don't but, anyway IU, thanks for your reasonable and courteous reply. I can't give it both a like and disagree, so I've gone with like just this once!
