We're going into the first game of the season with Dier or Sanchez at the back aren't we?
Until the final hour comes, I hold out hope that's not the case. Its obviously very difficult lining up the ducks these days, probably more so with image rights etc, so just got to sweat it out. I just hope we don't end up with the same lame ducks.

It's certainly disruptive for Ange.
 
:llorishuh:Maybe you should consider fucking off - just a suggestion
I love this club way too much for that. You think I could give up Spurs even if I tried?

I’m on an online message board bc of how much I care about this club ffs. I’ve missed out on dates because of Spurs. My intense following of the club has certainly had measurable consequences in my mental and emotional health after losses. My performance at work has probably suffered on CL or cup match days when we had a game later that day. Spurs are just a part of who I am at my core, I can’t change that any more than I can change the weather.

This is you right?
"I hate this shite football club so much".

I have to ask, do you have any clue what it’s like to care about something deeply?

It’s not blind love. It’s passion in both directions.

I hate this club because I love it and know it can be so much greater than it currently is.
 
If that's the bar then fine. So is Maguire...

Is he a top 5 LCB in the prem?

VVD
Ake
Laporte
Botman
Colwill
Badiashile
Gabriel ??maybe

60m for the 8th best LCB, not CB but LCB in the prem.
Yeah this makes me laugh. I did the same thing yesterday with VDV "Is he better than what we have? " Yes better than all bar one of our Centerbacks..."Is he good?" Absolutely not. The bar is very low so low that a young raw mistake prone player(VDV) improves the team as would the 8th best and shortest LCB in the EPL....Hard times these.
 
Lol at the Kane news.

what a clusterfuck. I couldn’t think of worse preparation for the season. 3 weeks until opening matchday and ZERO new defenders, still 6 senior players over the squad limit, a bloated mess of deadwood, all clouded by massive uncertainty over our star striker…

And seemingly, Kane stops us from making any progress on any other transfer in the entire bloody football club, be it VdV or Tosin or Hojbjerg or Sanchez or even an easy youth deal like Ash Phillips.

No. We have to put the entire operation on ice to sort out the Kane situation, which will inevitably be dragged out for weeks to squeeze £3m extra, and completely stall any other transfers in the pipeline.

I hate this shite football club so much. We aren’t serious. The behavior listed above is that of rank amateurs.

If Ange somehow brings us success this season he’s not just world class, he’s a bloody miracle worker.
The people who own us don't deserve success, which is just as well because they can't deliver it.
I can't believe that, the club cannot bring a few in without having to wait on one player, considering how much money this club makes.
This level of shopkeeping, is literally small business owner level, I seriously hope that the situation Lewis is in , accelerates a takeover.
We really need to be free of these parasites.
 
Are you a wife-beater too?
Lol. If anything, we the fanbase are the downtrodden wife subject to constant beatings and humiliations by domestic abuser Daniel Levy and our board, raising ticket prices, refusing to invest in the team in 2018, ushering us into such a dark age after the CL final.

Look all I’m saying is if I could fuck off and forget about this club I would. I love it too much to do that. But they are testing me.

There has to be people in the club that can see how bad it is?

They can't all be deluded and thinking that Davies as a makeshift LCB is good enough to start the season?

Brother if you consider yourself the abused spouse in your relationship to a football club then I suggest taking a step or two back and taking a deep breath.

I'm a massive Spurs fan and care deeply about the club. But I'm just not going to get worked up over something that I have no control over and that isn't going to directly harm me.

Of course we should want the club to improve the defense. But if it doesn't happen then I'm not going to throw a fit over it. I'll get over it just like every other time they don't adress a on field issue.

It does feel like that sometimes with some people here. They'll be bringing up slights from years ago with no prompting ("Why didn't you sign Grealish!!", etc.), nag constantly (at us! like we have anything to do with it), it generally gives the vibe of a couple who needed to divorce years ago.
 
angie obviously too nice right now, needed to kick up a conte like fuss to get Levy to actually do something. only time apart from spending Bale money the club actually acted like a big club minus failing to secure a CB and opting for lenglet on loan

Brentford looking so tough right now, smashed at home last season without toney. We'll be mildly better as Donkey Forster wont be in goal, no sanchez in defense.
what a cluster though
That's one of the reason why he was chosen, Nagelsmann wanted more control over transfers, so he didn't get the job and was painted as a troublemaker.
 
Exactly they need to cut their losses and move on. Quit haggling over a couple million. Not sure it’s credible but one article said we could’ve sent Sanchez and 15m Euro for janssen. Just do it already. Chelsea paid what 65m for Pulisic and just sold him for 20m? If you want a good team, you have to be decisive and willing to take a loss here and there.

Yeh Chavs just wrote off £1.6bn of losses thanks to the UK government allowing them a backdoor out of FFP meltdown....... I want that too.

I obviously don’t, I was just responding to the guy’s hyperbole in kind. Of course it’s just a stupid game. My personal life is just fine, I’m an adult.

I just get pissed off at incompetence in all walks of life and that’s what the club is right now.

If it’s acceptable for Donald Trump and Boris Johnson to piss you off then so can your football club I say.
