Fucking LOL
Solanke is an example that If you don’t want your manager all up outside the technical area, all up in your pockets at the training ground and all up in the Lego and hair grease… COME TO DEATH ROW.
Bad parenting!
Feel much the same as when we signed Richarlison. All a bit flat for a big signing imo. Hope for the best but just doesnt exactly have you on the edge of your seat for the new season. Really hope i'm wrong and now he's likely to be here should have our full support.
I knew you'd take positive news and find a way to shit all over it.
Never change,
Armstrong had the wrong attitude and was lazy. I have ITK that when he was at Bolton, he just sat on his hotel room all day, pretending to be injured, ordering room service about 5 times a day.
We turned down Bergkamp to sign him. Although not his fault, it just means he was always dead to me,
You on Bournemouth itself? Im in between Southampton and Fareham the other side of the Solent.
Work with a lot of people who live in Bournemouth area and they all like it apart from the traffic in the summer.
This Transfer is just the Cherry on top!!!! 
We wanted Todibo so much allegedly.
Exactly. Armstrong want terrible but after Klinsmann and Woolwich signing Bergkamp, who we turned down, it all felt very flat. I'd say its a decent comparison.
Bergkamp was a top player no doubt but him and sheringham would not have been a good partnership
He's had a better season than Richarlison ever had. The main thing they have in common is that they're both from lower half clubs.
I have a sneaky feeling, although haven't checked, that most of that goal involvement from Kulusevski is under Conte and at the very start of last season. He went through a phase lasting most of the 2nd half of last season where he was anonymous most of the time. He became easy to defend against and very predictable.
If he can shake that off and adapt his game, he could rediscover the form we saw at the start of his Spurs career. But he was already falling out of favour towards the end of last season.
Succeeding Jurgenn Klinsmann was always going to be a tough ask for Chris Armstrong (although as you say he did very very well in his first season) but to add to that he was then Spurs record signing at £4.5m with all the expectations that went with that.
He did form a good strike force with Sheringham as well, but injuries meant that he only managed about 65 appearances over his first 3 seasons with us - and only 17 goals, not a disaster but not the level hoped for. And over the 7 full seasons at Spurs 141 appearances and 48 goals. Disappointing and frustrating for both player and club I suspect
Nah, they would have cooked. Like Ferdinand and Shearer, although similar, they worked it out.
How many pens did we have last season?
Did we turn him down, or did he turn us down?
I remember we paid about £4m for Armstrong to replace World Cup winning megastar Klinsmann, and Arse paid about £7m for Berkamp. Armstrong was our record signing at that point IIRC, so Berkamp would have been almost double our record signing.
The one that really got away IMO was Zola. Apparently Gerry Francis didn't think he was good enough.
Lankshear and Solomon a.t.m as well.
