Those are some strong words from POK. Makes me like the guy a bit.
And the knowledge that you can't run from your problems will now be part of our PR. Fingers crossed this has the intended effect. God knows we need some solutions in the med-bay.
LOL at you hedging your bets as always
Shame you never did that before May 21st then, we could have had a month of your continued pearls of wisdom on this forum not to mention the name change...
It's a "cryptic"

Blame PEH for the pass that caused this when we were on a 3v1 break and he chose to pass to crooked Veliz instead of Son who was free on his left. Most braindead thing I've seen a professional footballer do on a pitchCrawling around on the floor against Bournemouth was beyond embarrassing.
And this stuff isn't just hypothetical in Romero's case.
World class on his day (and Bilbao was one of them), but consistent focus and commitment on his Spurs career has not always been there.
I would love for him to communicate to Frank and Levy that he wants a bumper new contract and the captain's armband and to make this his team. But that's not what reports are saying, is it?
Sometimes a big transfer fee is the best thing a player can give you.
I get the impression with our medical department, light weight coaching team, the invisible Scott Munn that last season was a total amateur hour behind the scenes. We must have modelled ourselves on West Ham or something. Feels like a bit of professionalism is coming back.

If you asked me which of the entire squad is most likely to misbehave if denied a move, it would be Romero.
You know they are dog shit and we beat them like a rented mule for nigh on a decade now. He was great but other players were more responsible for that tournament win than him I can call at least three possibly four.
It's a funny story, but not sure what's wrong with a guy heading on holiday if the club gave him the okay initially for time off / to book it. These staff shouldn't be held to the standards as highly paid players/head coaches. He might even be an egregious dickhead and useless at his job, but I dunno, it seems a non-issue.
100% I'm sure there isn't anything a phone call could achieve while he was away. Now if the guy and his staff were just terrible at their jobs, that's another story.
I guess going away in the midst of an injury crisis if you're in charge of that dept isn't the best of looks.
Don't think it's that deep anyway, probably deserved the sack based off our injuries last season alone.
So this is the Dr Tottenham we've heard so much about...Actual passport photo of Adam Brett
I've told you before, I was told stuff I could not believe. It was a joke from top to bottom. When the inside story of that season gets written people will be stunned. We binned Geoff Scott for underperformance but we literally filled all our coaching and medical roles with complete frauds.
Scott Munn was a disaster. And Ange Postecoglou alone was a massive error. He has a very special but limited skill set, briefly there was talk about tearing everything up leaving him as head coach but putting in a totally established network beneath him from sports science to coaching and tactical. It was binned because they didn't think he'd accept ego wise the dumping of Jedinak Raimondo and Munn. some of the people hired were Eileen Druery levels of fraudulent.
I think it's similar to when a nurse has a holiday planned and then covid strikes and it's all hands on deck.
Except it's worse, since he's specifically responsible for them not getting covid (among other things).
And now everyone is getting covid, Brett... They're all getting covid. The thing you're supposed to protect them from, Brett, they are all getting it. It's like you're injecting them with covid, Brett. Brett? Where's Brett? "Skiing, boss". WTAF? BRETTTTTTT!!!!
Easy now boss, we can't handle MULTIPLE transfers, in AND out at the SAME time, now can we?This Romero debate is fascinating, really hope we don't get linked to a signing to disrupt it
