Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Two things can be small time mate.

We have improved in a couple of areas and need to improve in a few more. We haven't done so yet and rather than at least wait till the end of the window these clowns are talking about protesting... not even giving the manager and players a chance to show what they can do in a competitive match.

Embarrassing.
Did you say you were Daniels second cousin?
 
i think the best we can hope for is a loan like grealish... and that's it. maybe we sign a younger player like paz or bilal al fuckall but i think everyone knows we're desperate and will be holding out for more and levy won't overpay. look for the clubs that are most desperate to sell and there's our shortlist. if i had to guess, i think we'll stare down city over the grealish wage split until the very end and bring him in on deadline day. we've done this before with adebayor and it will be long and drawn out.

we won't sign a striker or left wing, that's richi. we're overstocked in central midfield so bergval and sarr will back up the 10ish creative role and grey will fill in at right back and spence will back up the left when needed or davies. i have no doubt levy and the board see us as covered and will not panic buy this window.

pretty shocking passivity from a club our size
 
“But we don’t want to sign players we don’t think can really improve the squad “

Signs Tel




As some have said , it’s scripted nonsense
So is he saying out of the whole of football world wide we can’t find players to improve our squad / first 11. I am flabbergasted. Absolute joke of a statement. Is Frank saying we can’t a better forward than Richi or better LB than Davies. I hope Frank does well but he seems either naive or stupid.
 
Not buying the Eze talk at all this time.

Same ITK spurs account going on about it and having his story repeated. No proper journalist has mentioned it yet.

Ali Gold did his classic "eze might be a player spurs look at" nonsense. Means nothing.

He'll either go to Woolwich or stay at Palace. I don't see him coming here
 
Opportunistic is a narrative term used to downplay our signings. There’s always a negative narrative ready for any signing we would make.

We have spent a lot RELATIVE to our rivals. Look at the data these past few years.

The issue has been:
1) Quality
2) a lot of potential that is several years off being CL quality

We’ve combined 5 years of poor recruitment with a couple of years of buying players that won’t be CL quality for another 3-5 years. That has left our squad looking short of quality in key areas.

We desperately need a midfield passer who can come straight in this season.
It’s not though.

You’ve said yourself our recruitment is poor. Poor recruitment and being ponderous and going for opportunistic deals as opposed to the best player available are not mutually exclusive. They clearly go hand in hand.

In fact, the fact we have spent so much money and still have a team that is so woefully short in so many areas reinforces my point.
No team that is serious and has a proper plan in a transfer window could spend so much and still be in such dire straights. (Manchester United being the exception perhaps but they are an enigma no one can figure out.)

Oh we can get better but we dont want to compete with the big boys on wages so we have to settle for the B list of players. Then the guy wonders why he has to keep sacking managers every two seasons.
