Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Well as far as maybe's go... .You might be right.

What I'm slightly baffled by tho is the notion that somehow we can't spend prime dosh on AWB (who had a great season) at RB, yet are no-one blinks an eye at us splashing £50m-odd on Ryan 'maybe' Sessngon LB.

Innevitably, we'll see how things pan out... That's for obvs.
50 million? I don't think anyone will be paying that, I was thinking more like 25 million. He isn't going to sign another contract at Fulham, so they need to sell.
 
When you tell, meaning or not, someone to kill himself over a football opinion you are no longer right I don’t care. Come on

I've not knowingly condoned such a comment.

The sentiment of GOAT GOAT 's posts long pre-dates said swipe though and I think it's all a bit disingenuous of Incomplete_usernam Incomplete_usernam to play that humble card at this late juncture considering he was perfectly happy to throw a few jabs with goat, myself and others until until then; only to now conceed that what he was accused of is in fact correct.
 
....But if we can't "compete financially" then what do you propose? ....FFS, this isn't high level maths at play here!?!?!?


Withdrawing your support is most substantial comment you've offered on the matter so far.

I have never ever said I would withdraw my support, this is getting to be like having a conversation with goat calling me a gooner with absolutley no evidence to back it up.

You are coming across like you are trolling and like you want to make people believe I am some fickle cunt that will walk away from the club if we don't make any signings which simply isn't true and has never been true, I have never said that so please, stop spreading misinformation.

I don't propose anything, that's my fucking point, if you read my posts you would know I have never claimed to know the answer, I have simply said, just like our MANAGER HAS, that that's what needs to be done to realistically compete on a constant basis.
 
No, I just find your incessant hollow whinging; tiresome... Esp. as you've as good as admitted that your fandom depends on a spend up.

...And I wasn't going to bat for anyone. Your comments condoned his position on the matter and your lack of self-awareness 'amused' me (and still does).

My comments condoned him calling me a gooner and telling me to kill myself?

I have never admitted that my fandom depends on a spend up, do you lack reading comprehension or something?

Please tell me when I have EVER said that? Please, go through my entire post history and point me to a post where I have said I will stop supporting this club if we fail to buy a player in this transfer window, I will wait...

Or you know, feel free to keep spreading bullshit about me, that's up to you, just saying, it makes you look like a troll at this point because you're ignoring what I am saying in favour of spreading misinformation about me.
 
I don't know why comments like that are ridiculed , Levy hasn't built the stadium for the fans he's built it to generate greater revenue , the additional revenue will be greater than the repayments. It's a sign of ambition but what sort of ambition ? To make more money for himself or to make more money to improve the playing staff or both.
apparently ENIC have never taken a divvy

my take on it is that levy is no idiot. we have to be at least be competing at the sharp end to fill the place and get that exra revenue. as long as you are competing, then everything else is in the lap of the gods. unless you are liverpool, in which case in the hands of some dodgy officiating

Me, i dont care if we sign 5 free transfers or 5 £50 million players. if they are the right players is all that matters. there are people here that seem to care more about the fee than who it was was spent on.
 
Bloody hell, are there any threads on this forum that don't descend into ridiculous arguments and name calling?! I work with special needs children, they behave better than some adults do here and those kids can barely control themselves!

We're supposed to be on the same side so can people grow up and start acting like it? Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves because you're making a fool of yourselves and ruining this forum for everyone else.

Well they were both childish but it’s some bad taste shit nonetheless. Banter is fun but this ain’t banter.

You just twist and turn the narrative to suit whatever you want, anybody here is free to go through my posts and disprove you argument at this point, as a matter of fact, I welcome them to.

I am not playing the "humble card" I am always open to others opinions and listening, as a matter of fact Park Lane Mark Twain Park Lane Mark Twain made a very reasonable and well thought out post that I thought was articulated well and was polite, I still disagreed with the majority of it but I respectfully disagreed.

It's hard to do that with you air because you continue to just try and cunt me off and take what I say out of context without ever addressing the points I make and then claim I said things I haven't said, so when I call you an insufferable bore or I reach my peak and call you a cunt it's normally directed at the way in which you are constantly reframing my words to try and get a "gotcha" for example, claiming that I said I would stop supporting the club if we don't make a singing which is a flat out lie.

I didn't concede to goat either, I never claimed that what I am saying is right or has any relevance to our activity, I am giving my opinion on a fucking message board and my stance all along has been "I don't think we will make any signings, or if we do it will be last minute BUT I HOPE THAT ISN'T THE CASE"

In other words, I hope I am proven wrong by the end of the window, so how is me saying "let's see what happens at the end of the window because I am sick of having back and forths and it going nowhere" me conceding to goat?

Also you saying "I have thrown a few jabs" at you and goat (in other words, I have called you a cunt in the past and an insufferable bore for taking my quotes out of context continuously) and then trying to conflate that with goat telling me to kill myself and calling me a gooner is pathetic quite frankly.

I might disagree with you sometimes and yeah, not going to lie, I think you behave like a sanctimonious prick sometimes but I also agree with you a lot of the time on things as well, so it balances out.

I am pretty sure you think I am a cunt sometimes as well and that's fine, we can't always agree and none of us are perfect but I would NEVER wish harm upon you and I certainly wouldn't accuse you of being a gooner or a shit fan for having a different opinion, goat told me to fucking kill myself because he didn't like my opinion and you are trying to handwave and downplay it and justify it like it's the same as us throwing jabs at each other.

I also wouldn't spread misinformation about you like you are with me saying that I said I would stop supporting the club if we didn't sign anybody, that's absolute bollocks and you know it.

Anyway, I am done with this conversation mate, have a nice day.

I agree with you and I genuinely mean that but how can that happen when if you post an opinion people disagree with they constantly spread misinformation about you and call you a gooner?
 
A) Yeah, probably, because you know after 30+ years of supporting spurs I would just walk away...

What's with this black and white viewpoint on shit? You're basically saying people can't criticise our owners if they fail to spend in the transfer window or get good business done? lol.

Is there any scenario in your mind where Levy or ENIC should be held accountable?

B) I am also happy with our owners, I never claimed otherwise, I have simply said that if we don't find a way to operate so we can compete with the clubs above us financially then we will likely remain as we are for the remainder of their tenure, that doesn't mean I would stop supporting the club if that was the case, I would be here even if we were relegated multiple times but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be disappointed or see it as a huge missed opportunity for us to push on even more.

YOU suggested as much.

As for the latter comment; you're having an absolute fucking laugh!!!!

You've made your position perfectly clear already.... Soft-soaping it all retrospectively doesn't change the underlying thrust of it all.
 
You have never explained the alternative, unless your alternative is "Well if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen and we just accept it"

That's not an alternative, that's defeatism.


When have I ever said that? You really do love misquoting people and putting words in their mouth.

For someone who talks about strawman arguments you sure so like to engage in them a lot.

Please quote me and tell me where I have ever said I would leave the club if we don't get any transfers?

Will I be pissed off? Yes. Will I complain and say that we need to find new owners? Yeah, probably because it would be fucking criminal to not sign players after our best manager in my lifetime is essentially begging for signings and we are on the cusp of something truly special.

But if Poch left and we did a freefall down the table whilst Levy and ENIC remained in charge I would still be here supporting this club regardless, even if we didn't sign another player for 20 fucking years because I support and love the club.

The owners, players and manager all come and go.

That's moot You are at odds with the owners; not me.
 
Bloody hell, are there any threads on this forum that don't descend into ridiculous arguments and name calling?!

Nope. I'm not being facetious either, it is genuinely like that everywhere here.

We're supposed to be on the same side so can people grow up and start acting like it? Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves because you're making a fool of yourselves and ruining this forum for everyone else.

Again, this is probably the most juvenile, puerile, immature forum on the entire internet. ...which is why we love it so.
