I am a true Spurs Fan......................................never going to get that Mind SetThe club is now on a different trajectory, delayed due to COVID. Its now not a question of fighting for top 4 but cementing that position, aiming higher and finally for silverwear.
The club is thinking and acting differently, now the fans need to get in that mindset too

Post of the day you ruthless beauty
Hahaha whole PL would be triggered
Would certainly be a bizarre turn of events.
Everything the new Chelsea hierarchy has done this summer says, they are scattergun and not decisive as previous regime. Also, Tuchel himself said a day back, defense is his only priority.
As for us, we have been decisive on deals. Spence might have dragged but we had convinced the player 100% to come to only us, so it was a matter of when not if.
Any deal for Maddison this window would depend on us getting him on board.
£0m vs £70m is not a matter of sentiment......
Interesting. So we could have bought an up & coming Maddison for £400k.I found this.
James Maddison is set to face Tottenham this weekend when his Leicester host the north London club on Saturday evening.
But it could have been very different for the 22-year-old midfielder.
That’s because Spurs actually almost signed Maddison back in 2015 only to walk away from the €400,000 move.
Three years ago Maddison was starring for Coventry in League One with former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp recommending him to the club.
The White Hart Lane side were in pole position to land the then teenage sensation, but eventually rejected the signing with chairman Daniel Levy wanting to move away from buying young talent in the lower leagues.
That had always been Tottenham’s policy, with the likes of Gareth Bale, Kyle Waker and Dele Alli all joining from the Football League.
But unfortunately for Maddison, he was a tad too late to the party, with the summer of 2015 being the turning point for Spurs and their policy of looking for more established names.
Maddison himself eventually went to Norwich before signing for Leicester earlier this year in a deal worth €25m.
He’s now firmly established as a genuine Premier League talent and earned his first England call-up in November.
If we now shell out north of £60m on Maddison, and exercise that rumoured £30m buyback on our Academy product KWP, then the Evolution of Daniel Levy into Hey Big Spender will have occurred.
That said, the weeks he spent haggling over the Spence deal suggests some of the old Levy DNA is still there...

We are in talks. Leicester very reluctant. But his contract and more takes it out of Rodgers hands. Would be an excellent acquisition. We are willing to pay. Turning your nose up at him (some) is baffling. I personally hope it happens. Plenty work to do. Winks in the mix as well.

Knew it wouldn’t be long before cunt features jumped on the latest Paul O’keef info
Fuck it. I was hoping we were in for him.
That’s probably made up nonsense but it does sound plausible.
Remember he is from Denmark, letting your team mate shag your wife is probably normal over there.
He's genuinely good, doesn't put too much ITK our their but is spot on for fantasy football on who will start and who won't, that's how he made his name
OK, what did the 13 year old cunt say about us...?
Oh Jesus....
Please call 1979, someone wants their opinion back!
All this spending going on I think Daniel Levy is tied up in a little cupboard somewhere and they’ve found a look alike to stand in for him
Cheers for the fantasy league heads up. I need all the help I can get!
If our new wonderful squad achieves another 6 wins than we did last season that is 18 points better and would put us on 89 points. 3 behind Liverpool. 4 behind City.
What an incredible amount of ground that needs to be made up to even challenge!
If KWP is sold for £12 million and bought back for £30 million that isn’t good business is it? Or am I missing something?
Signing James Maddison would sign a midfielder who scored 12 goals last season. Great signing! Based on that I think we are matching Liverpool and City in midfield and attack. Then we just need a VVD signing at centre back.

I think blaming the Haringey Labour Party for not being fully on board with gentrification in one of the poorest centrally funded Boroughs in the country just shows the priorities of football fans and regular folk are very different.
David Lammy gave it the push after the riots but after the chancers from Scholar to Sugar we had in charge pre ENIC the reticence of the council was not only understandable it was totally justified. If any thing its the thing Levy's critics overlook. He was the right man to do it he just took too long getting started before he'd proved him self not another Scholar local government we're right steer well clear.
