It is quite unreal that Levy sat on camera and said our aim is to win the league and CL with a straight face....

and then we've signed Kudus. Where our rivals have spent massively on loads of elite players.

I bet Liverpool will finish up with Guehi and Isak in their squad by end of August. That is on top of all the other talent they've brought in.

And they won the fucking league. Talk about building from strength. Do you think if we somehow won a league title, Levy would do that the following summer? haha.

We finished 17th and we have signed one player. It's scandalous.

The bloke is an absolute cretin. The clown probably thinks because we got to the CL final previously, that we can do it again without spending.

That's the thing with Levy. I don't doubt he wants to win, but he doesn't really want to win. He doesn't spend the money to put us in the best position to win. if we win, it's because lightning has struck twice. Just like if we somehow got to the CL final this season, it would be lightning striking twice.

But of course we won't get to the CL final. We won't win the league, because Levy doesn't spend the money to make it happen.

But I tell you who will, or at least go close. Liverpool. City, Chelsea, Woolwich, why? Because they are spending the money to give themselves the best chance.

None of us expect guranteed trophies, we just want the club to show similar levels of ambition to the clubs on the same footing as us, with similar revenues, but we don't.

There is zero reason a club like ours shouldn't doing what Liverpool and Woolwich are doing.

We should be going all in for Isak as an example. Yes he might want Liverpool, but we should be throwing 300k a week at him, and 130 million at Newcastle and going for it. At least trying.

But we won't. I am just sick of the fact we never ever show ambition that our rivals do. There is no excuse or reason for it, apart from Levy being Levy.

I honestly don't know how he has the gall to show his face in Tottenham. Doesn't he look at our rivals and think how embarassed he is that they bring in top quality and we don't? If I was the owner I'd be like, wtf am I doing? shameful. Let's at least have a go.

It's the same every single year, and it's all because of one man. We aren't asking to bankrupt the club, but let's go big for some elite players. Show everyone we are going for it, not just trying to finish top 5.

I mean, he did actually say he wanted to win the CL and PL, so where is the money and where are the signings?

Yeah but your mate Trix on SC said everything will be alright and the Rodrygo interest is real, surely thsys good enough for you?
 
A lot of name calling on this thread, really sad to see.

We all want the team to do well but some of us are concerned with our lack of transfer activity especially in comparison to our rivals.

We're being left behind, it's as simple as that. Why some people are okay with this is beyond me.

Being deliberately contrary? Trolling? Gooners? It's very strange.

We will buy some left overs at expensive prices like we did last season on last day of transfer window.

Seems a bit more like he's just fed up with his current club, no?

If he's as good as the footy world currently claims (top 3-5 ST in the world); then to shit on his own doorstep and cross his fingers would be epicly bad work on his agents part.



I can't see why one would write Livepool off........ Allegedly they already had a bid refused before this latest round of media broke about him wanting out...... And they were already being talked bout as wanting him before they had to face the prospect of losing Jota.

In that respect; hypothetically:

Jota <> Ekitike (who apparently Slot sees as versatile enough to deputise on the wings too)
Nunez <> Isak

You can also use Diaz & Gakpo as moving parts too.

I’m saying get him now. Just an example of the money we have wasted buying all these unproven young players from other clubs instead of buying real quality and also developing our own unproven players.

He was an unproven young player at Metz, playing in a farmers league.

not long ago all the spurs fans with delusions of being scouts were saying Tel was the next amazing big thing

If Real wanted him, their media would have reported it, and it would also mean they’re selling Vini or Mbappe which won’t happen.
We can offer something that Barcelona can’t- money.

That leaves Liverpool. Clearly a strong link, but it also seems bizarre given they’ve just bought Ekitike for 90m.

Isak is going to Saudi for a world record, ridiculous amount of money and wages.

He will go to a club owned by the same people that own Newcastle. The bar codes will then spend that “income” very aggressively.

Surely that’s fucking obvious to anyone and everyone?

They’ve likely promised him he can come back to Europe in a year or 2.

Or he'll go to saudi for £200m, then by january he'll come back on loan or something something lifestyle something adapting etc.

It's absolutely transparent what goes on, considering we're basically the only team that hasn't been able to sell a plodder to the middle east for £70m (although there were those richi links)

Something is clearly afoot with the way the big 4 are investing

Either we find a way to keep up or we can forget about it.

I’d credit Levy for building the club into an appealing investment for an owner that can keep up but I really think they are too small time to keep up themselves. TBH I don’t think any British owner could keep up

Yeah we just didn’t have the good fortune of a plodder willing to go.

In a different universe we’ve got nine figures of blood money in exchange for Sonny and Richy

What have you seen in the 6 years since then?

For one thing, in every season since 2016-17 we have finished more points away from the title than we did in 1995-96.

95/96 - 8th / 21 points

vs

17/18 - 3rd / 23 points.
18/19 - 4th / 27 points.
21/22 - 4th / 22 points.

Mad......

Though that reads like a landscape thing.... Primarily the petro-doping-effect and the bottom half getting richer too.

In 19/20 Man U finished 3rd and were 33 points off the top!

23/24 - 4th / 23 points (Villa).

You're not part of the name-calling though... God forbid. :harrysmile:

Or we aren’t ruthless enough to tell them they have no future here

If Darwin is being forced out of Liverpool and willing to go to the highest bidder at this stage of his career, then any player could be persuaded

How do you know this?

Remember; according to you, without cast iron evidence, nothing has happened........ Has Nunez spoken out?
