So it upsets you that people are trying to be positive instead of harping on the negatives over and over and over again?
No, it doesn't upset me at all that some are remaining positive, despite the context. I'm open-minded, you should try it sometimes.

And when you're done with the drama queen act, you can go back through my posts and I think you'll find I'm not one of them that's downbeat all the time about all things Spurs. Quite the contrary.

But judging a book by its cover is soooooo much easier, ain't it.
 
There’s a difference between being negative while stating facts and being negative while exaggerating most of your complaints.

Kulusevski is big, big money? 25m? Porro we had no choice on. The fuck up was in January.

Whining about no one having ange in the top 5 doesn’t make him a bad choice. Whining about Solomon being free and ripping off shaktar like it’s a bad thing.

CB and being unable to move in deadwood are the only legitimate problems you mentioned. Your post adds little value because 60% of it is purposefully being negative and having an agenda.
I'm giving an opinion you do not agree with = I obviously got an agenda.

Gotcha!
 
I think professional footballers are aware of how transfers work and don't lose their shit over a couple of weeks of negotiation. Or maybe he's in this very thread cursing Levy out and telling him to pull the trigger already.
Yh I get the general point but from VDV perspective I wouldn't be surprised if he told us to fuck off. It's not couple of weeks negotiating it's couple of weeks waiting to see if the club brings in someone else after your all agreed. It's a piss take.
 
It's not mutually exclusive mate. You can be happy with the signings to date, but unhappy with the fact we don't have at least one CB yet.

Personally, I'm not happy that VDV at least isn't done, I'm not seeing any valid reason why that hasn't happened yet.

But then I don't place the same importance on them attending the preseason tour as others do, so I'm a bit more chilled at the situation. Neither do I put any stock in Twitter rumours. About the only twitter's that I take any note of are the 'here we go' tweets.

The time for anger is at the end of the window, if anger is indeed merited. For me, the anger will only be merited if we don't address the areas of need. At this point in time it's the 2 CB positions, and possibly a striker should Kane leave. If we achieve that then it's all about how we start.
Thank you for your grown-up approach, pal. I mean that. Quite a few on here should take a page out of your book...but so much easier to make it personal, throw insults, say you got an agenda and all that bollocks. If you don't follow the party line, you get shit, I get it...I'll still stand by my opinions.

Anger is a strong word to be honest. I'm just disappointed is all, mainly by the CB situation for sure. As for our deadwood, I know full well it's not only up to us.

Big Ange, I've said many times I'm actually looking forward to seeing how he fares and that I really like the man. Same about Vicario, who unlike most on here, I knew of before we signed him...not bragging, just saying it as it is. Have a butchers Macch & bonaspur23 😉

Madders I'm obviously buzzing about.

Solomon, I do want him to be a success, I wish the best to any new signing we make. But if he's a bust, he won't be an expensive one so I'm not that bothered. But yeah instead of he & Kulu, I'd have gone for a surer thing, especially when there's talks of Diaby going to Villa and the Geordies being willing to splash 90mil on Kvara. If that makes me a &*>@#$ to only want the best for my club, then go for it, fill your boots.

It'd just make him feel better if we choose him, and if we don't it doesn't really matter.
 
Heard all this bollocks before with Rice and Timber and whoever else.

If Gvardiol goes to Man City you'll just think of another transfer.

The goal posts are always moving.

No one gives a monkeys about those signings. They care about why we haven't signed a CB.

Wait we're not allowed to reference other clubs yet-to-be-completed signings in order to draw parallels with our own; but (In the last post of yours I noticed) you want us to make sure we go out of our way to give plaudits to any of our rivals when they win something???

Really???

We had an entire summer last summer of "ooooh look who the chavs are signing..... They're gonna be "frightening" this season".... Half of the deals didn't happen and the other half proved to be shit. We had three years of crying that Everton were "humiliating" and "shaming" us in the trf window and now they're relegation fodder on the brink of going bust.

Bollocks.

.......And bollocks to giving other clubs a hearty pat on the back too.

Negative people aren't bad people. They're just an absolute fucking ballache to be around and listen to all the time.

I'm pleased with our signings so far.

All last season everyone wanted more creativity - we've signed Maddison.

All last season everyone bemoaned or keeper situation - we've signed Vicario.

All last season, and before that, everyone hated the defensive football - we've hired a head coach synonymous with attacking football.

I think we'll see the dead wood leave slowly as Ange sees more and more of the players. Slowly but surely he'll give the chop to those he doesn't like.

We do need CBs though but they'll come.
You do know positive people can - on occasions - express negative (or not ecstatic) thoughts? And that it's totally fine?

I posted MY opinion on our TW so far and it wasn't all dark, but obviously cause I didn't go all singing & dancing, suddenly I'm the new MattNumbers.

At least I dare speak my mind. How many on here just play the game cause they're too scared of being hunted down by the TFC's version of Isis...

The specific claim was that we need to “act like a big club”. But big clubs run into exactly the same problems. So that is a ridiculous thing to say.

If that’s not what you mean and you just want to say “we should have signed a CB by now, July 17th” then say that.
 
Yeah 5 out of 10 window so far.

Only my opinion, but I'll go and take my spot in front of the wall, waiting for the firing squad.

Overly dramatic a bit eh. While calling others "Drama Queen"

Oh no some strangers on a forum didn't like my posts.

Up against the wall for the firing squad.

Voice of reason. Could not agree more.

Thank you for being a balanced poster.

Of course it will matter. It's an opportunity to play in the Premier League, likely more then double or even treble his wage. Play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

I get a club will put feelers out but not to the point of signing everything to then be messed about.

Wasn't having a go at you tbf. Was even sticking up for the Negative Norrises and Nancy's.

Just don't think this window has been as bad as some wanna make out at the moment.

I tried reading the ENIC thread earlier - makes your post seem like it was written by a cheerleader in comparison!

Sarcasm not your major then?

I don't care one bit whether you like my posts or not, pal. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine.

All I'm saying is, it's ridiculous how as soon as somebody on here doesn't toe the party line, he gets jumped on by the self-righteous mob. That I'm not happy with, that I care about.
