Ah shit we really are going to do a Leeds aren’t we!
I think the only accurate part of that tweet is that he will be on BEIN Sports today.

Stadium financing is also not hampering the club in anyway. Its a billion pound asset and the loan interest would basically be covered by a naming rights deal. Spurs were able to get the Bank of England loan because of the club credit rating, which is superb.I've seen reports it will cost us 9 million total ('worst' case reports say 15 million).
Given the huge lift he will give everyone, and the fact he will almost certainly improve our chances of doing better in all competitions, that is a ludicrous comment from Keys. Given the way the transfer marketing is now that's a bargain. Yes we're paying off the stadium, but we are still one of the biggest/richest clubs.
The far riskier option would have been buying nobody, and bombing out of all cups because our squad's too thin
Levy forgot to top-up the meterSpurs u18 beat Woolwich 2-0 in the NLD - but still no mention on Spurs twitter. Strange......and no interesting announcenments either

Most football pundits can't even provide basic analysis of a match, let alone understand club finances.Even sniping Liverpool’s spending makes no sense to me. They added one of the best creative midfielders in the world and are set to add one of the best U23 attackers in the PL. What is confusing about this?

It's a complete non-story.
Today’s team isn’t the team that we had in 2018How not, mate - Sissoko / Winks diamond
Exactly. Honestly, I don't know why I'm even bothering.Yup, the loan was only available to companies with AAA credit rating (highest credit rating ie minimal chances of default on repayment of the loan) and which had contributed to UK public life (eg taking in part of North Middlesex Hospital during covid to allow the main hospital buildimng to focus on patients with covid).
Strange Keys has ignored all that.
Winks and Sissoko are / were - and baffling soToday’s team isn’t the team that we had in 2018
Which is why it wasn't the first time we employed the diamond that year...Dembele only played in ten games
...and then we employed it more permanently. Do keep up.up until he was sold.
While also playing the diamond periodically in the first half of that year...We were flying.
No need to...Try harder
Once Ndombele settles in and Sissoko and Winks are relegated to the bench I think it would be far more balancedI dont think we have really addressed our biggest issue this window
Our midfield is an unbalanced and technically bereft mess barring Lo Celso who always seems to be on the cusp of an injury
However at least these couple of signings along with Doherty are showing that we are trying to improve the team without sell on value being the only criteria that matters
A little bit of ambition to win and win now
That's all you can really ask for but we definitely have to address our midfield at some point if we are ever going to challenge for the big prizes
We’ve played one league game.Winks and Sissoko are / were - and baffling so
Was referring to last season under MourinhoWe’ve played one league game.
We played our new CM for 90 minutes, Winks got an hour, Sissoko came on at half time.
They were on the pitch together for 15 minutes and at no time were both in central midfield together as Sissoko was out wide right until Winks was subbed off for Bergwijn
It’s not the same team.
We have Hojbjerg now.
But I’ve already told you January was when we made a permanent transition as opposed to experimental use of it in some games.Which is why it wasn't the first time we employed the diamond that year...
...and then we employed it more permanently. Do keep up.
While also playing the diamond periodically in the first half of that year...
No need to...
