Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Don't worry, I'm sure Lange has been busy working in silence while the team has been on tour!
Oh wait, he decided to go on the tour so he could fit in a few rounds of golf with Levy :avbshit:
AND drink a lot of Rosé.
AND touching each others bottoms, after drinking said Rosé.

Short term... Grealish just makes sense and it's a deal that is doable but we need more.

Our senior attacking players ie.. Richarlison and Johnson aren't doing enough and our younger ones just aren't quite ready and may never be ready.

We need 2 for right now with Son, Maddison and kulusevski situations....all 3 were starters last season and now unavailable
 
If we smack the money down on the table, offer a ludicrous wage and tell him he's our star man for a an assault on four fronts including the champions league we can at least give him a decision to make.

I know we won't, I know it's not how we operate but we could and that's the fucking annoying thing.
I didn't understand at the time why he wasn't signed ahead of Maddison anyway. He was always injury prone and patchy.

Feel like we've missed the boat on Eze now sadly.

Grealish barely played in last 3 seasons a no go for me.

I would rather loan Ascencio and buy Paqueta

The player's choice is the Key. If he wants to go to Woolwich, he will just use our offer to get them to match it. We want players to want to come to us.

But that's our problem isn't it? We can't compete so don't bother. If the worst case scenario is the goons have to spend more to get the same outcome then fine but at least test the waters. We're in a desperate situation now and I'm bored of the club pussying out of going after elite players.
 
"I had the same conversation with people like you last summer no doubt"

"people like you"

People like me have a realistic perspective of the club, not one seen sitting in front of a monitor playing Championship Manager.

Tel and Odobert are just twenty, and will need time. Frank appears to see that.

'Fuck that, no other top elite club signs kids and then waits for them to develop and pretends to try and be competitive'

Now wind your neck back in and learn something useful today, and to save you worrying about having to reply 'people like me' i have put you on ignore.
