Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The clubs absolute joke. Got to a champions league final then start the season with a weaker squad. Levy is cheap ass chairman and needs to fuck off. And Poch certainly doesn't deserve this. The only way this club is gonna progress is if a new investor who actually have an ambition takes over.
 
When the club refuses or finds itself incapable of buying a single player to add to the squad for two successive transfer windows, it's embarrising, naive and downright pathetic to then blame our alarming drop in form on injuries and fatigue.
We were the architects of our own problems.
The transfer windows exist to give teams the opportunity to strengthen, refresh, rejuvinate, improve.
We shat the fuckin bed and ducked out of two in a row, then lost 20 fucking games across all competitions.

The level of cult status enjoyed by Levy/ENIC, from some members of this forum, is really quite disturbing

You know what is really pathetic? A poster who comes up and uses every little opportunity to throw shit towards the leadership and strategy that has lifted the club he is supposed to support from being a midtable team in EPL to consistent CL participant and finalist. And what is even more pathetic - every time when someone points out his short-sightedness and the very same fact how much the club IN EVERY SINGLE ASPECT has improved under Levy is such a shameful piece of shit that he climbs back under the rock and is too afraid to ever even respond anything... well, cause we all fucking understand that you have nothing to say.

What are you fucking on about when you say that we could not mention injuries and fatique?!?! Do you understand that we had 3 players with Belgium 5 players with England and 1 with France - total of NINE STARTING PLAYERS to very-very latest stage in WC. Also Eriksen and Sanchez made it to play-off stage. Are you fcking suggesting that we should have brought 9 new starters or full 11 lineup with those windows ?!?! - so just what needed to be proven - your points just like yourself are just full of shit.
 
Those that are now having a go at people who are unhappy over the lack of signings were the same people saying "be patient you melt" and "chill , Levy's got this " earlier in the summer

I have no issue with those who melt with a bit of good humour. I tend not to agree with John, but his holiday report last year was a delight.

It’s the boring cunts that just post the exact same thing over and over and over again that grate.

Do you remember what it was like supporting spurs in the nineties and early naughties?

Whilst I agree the lack of singings shows a distinct lack of ambition, describing the club as an absolute joke and calling for Levy to fuck off is a bit much. Just ask Bolton fans...

City buying cancelo and rodri after finishing on 98 points and we can't get anyone but Ndombele and a couple of teenagers in when we absolutely need a squad overhaul. I know they have endless pits but they're only buying 2-3 players per window now, which is what we should have been doing over the past two years. Bonkers stuff
 
Lo Celso or Fernandes. Who would most want? I feel Bruno is the kind of player we should be looking for if Eriksen leaves. I've never really watched Lo Celso play before

Poch is the best thing that happen for this club for years and look how Levy is treating him instead of backing him
 
Why is the squad weaker than the end of last season?
Was about to write the same. Ndomblele in for an injured Dembele who didn't feature last season and sporadically the 2 seasons beforehand. Trippier gone, we will wait and see if that is good or bad, Llorente's gone as an option and for his experience.
The addition of Ndomblele in an area we desperately needed to sort out far outweighs the losses so far.
 
a concern I have is are our scouting network not picking up on these players when they are cheap or is it further up the tree that does not act on the scout's information, not saying we buy every player the scouts put forward but that the "directors of football team" look at them
Ndomble 2 yrs ago £7m
GLC 1yr ago £25m

Remind me....How much did we pay for Alli, Trippier, Eriksen, Toby, Jan...?

The problem is; if you buy a young unproven player you run the risk of signing a player onto a lengthy contract and being unable to shift them when you need to - Jannsen/GKN for example. So there comes a time when you must ensure you are buying something that is close to the finished article.

These are the sort of people that swan through life acting as if bad shit won't ever happen.
Probably end up under a bus when they ride a bike through a red light while looking at their phone wearing headphones.

MELTDOWN ALERT!!!!!!

Popcorn at the ready.

Why is the squad weaker than the end of last season?

Because everyone is getting older.
Because contracts are running down and 2 of the best players to play for the club aren't signing new ones.
Because we have sold a first team regular RB and now have KWP as the only fit RB option.
Because at some point, the magic man is gonna get the fucking hump with this shit and go somewhere else.
United and Real Madrid will be looking for new managers this season.

Levy will not find another one like him. Anyone else worth hiring is going to want a lot of money to spend or they'll walk.
