In that respect, Levy could get some credit because after this window no spurs fans will have much hope left.
I almost thought winning a trophy might have made a difference in trying to get back in the mix a bit.
The other clubs are pulling away with squad quality at a frightening rate tbh.
It's fucking soul destroying...I'm on my last legs after fucking Angeball ffs.

Agree with this. If the right player isnt available, better to save the money for the next window. I rather not spend 25m+ on a subpar option like El Khannouss or McAteer.
Hence why I also don't mind the Grealish loan option too. We can walk away without a financial commitment if he isn't up to required standard.
I swear I’ve never seen a worse performance from a midfield player when Holland played Austria in the euros last summer. He never even made it to half time as he was that bad. Since then I’ve always been interested when he plays to see if it was a one off. He’s heavy legged and poor on the ball. I can only go on what I’ve seen but I think Winks is better
To be honest, i think that is the best solution. Kudus and Sarr to deputise as No.10s until Kulusevski is fit.
On the wings, Johnson and Tel on each flank. With Odobert as a rotation cover that can play both sides.
If Frank wants to assess Manor Solomon, then he use the period up to January to assess him before making the decision to sell or keep him. Due to the injury situation, there are minutes available for Solomon off the bench and occasional League cup start.
thats one of the most depressing posts ive ever read on here.

not great, but a lot brighter than what youve come out with. LW needs upgrading, unless odobert has a breakout season and turns into a man.
Any word on the Rodrygo situation?
It's getting toxic already. If we don't beat Burnley, all hell will break loose.
So your ok that we currently have no number 10?
You’re ok with Tel and Odobert as our only left wing/forward options (please don’t come back with the BJ option, we all know he’s shit on the left)?
You’re ok with us finishing 17th and so far only buying a winger and an aged, slow DMF, whilst losing Maddison and Son?
You’re ok with the apparent lack of planning and procrastination that goes on around our recruitment (or lack thereof) ?
Of course you are, probably wear beige shirts as well.

Laughable ain’t it
Imagine being embarrassed by fans, but not the board
Make it make sense …

Couldn’t agree more.
What’s most infuriating for me this window is the fact that it’s one of the most open windows in recent memory, yet we have still shown absolutely no ambition or initiative.
In previous windows the club would routinely leak out lines such as “there’s no movement in the window” or use excuses such as an international tournament is delaying deals etc etc.
There are no such excuses this summer. There are literally so many players available, in positions that we need to strengthen, that we should and CAN afford, but we have just not gone out and tried to get them, whilst we watch other PL clubs who are in the same financial bracket as us snap them all up.
It’s infuriating, shambolic and downright negligent from our ownership.
I just don’t think ENIC and indeed some Spurs fans have grasped this yet… we finished 17th last season, SEVENTEENTH. As in one spot above the fucking relegation zone.
Can you just IMAGINE if one of Woolwich, Liverpool, Chelsea finished 17th and they only brought in Kudus and a 30 year old Palhinha on loan? There would be absolute riots.
And it’s not only who we haven’t signed, it’s the useless swines that are still at the club stinking up the joint as they have been for years.
Davies, Gil, Bissouma, Solomon, Richarlison to name a few, how TF are these muppets still at the club, with almost zero tangible links on them going anywhere?
Richarlison is often tentatively linked with a move away, before we get the usual shut down of “Richy has no interest in a move away, he’s happy and comfortable at Spurs.” Well I’m sorry, but why don’t we start acting like a proper club for once and take that decision away from him. Just like Chelsea have with Jackson, tell him in no uncertain terms thanks mate but it’s time to go. If you stay you won’t play, simple as, so kindly fuck off.
I, like many other Spurs fans, am completely and utterly at the end of my tether with these absolute lying scoundrels running our football club.
If it makes you feel better I’ll change disgusted to absolutely appalled. There feel better? I know you’re a sensitive soul.
He wears shirts of every single colour and for exactly equal amounts of time
He doesn't like to discriminate against any one particular colour and hurt it's feelings
We don't offer the wages to get elite players here. Frank doesn't have the pull to get the next level of quality players in.
So we are left chasing the next tier of players with many other clubs, championship players, relegated players, cast offs from bigger clubs, young players from lower leagues unproven in PL.
