"go and support another team" is a childish response and anyone using that rhetoric is not to be taken seriously

This is a truly terrible take. Nobody cares what your opinion is. But if you are relentlessly negative then people will call you out for it. People don’t like being around people who are always negative.
I think Frank is hopefully a great hire , but it’s after a series of disastrous hires that were not only unsuccessful ( Ange is a weird anomaly, a successful massive failure)but slagged us off and embarrassed us . Frank has a monumental task to rebuild the damage , so any praise for Levy should surely be kept back until he has done that.
The only people that think we are a world class club are some Spurs fans . We should be but we are not irrespective of the shiny stadium . What fans of other clubs do you think perceive Spurs as a world class club , what metric do you think they use to reach a conclusion.
We have a world class events stadium that is for sure , that does not make us a world class club , nor does being 9th on the Deloitte money list .

Savinho was not injured after palermo game. I've looked up numerous post match reports etc saying there were no injuries and stating a clear bill of health from those involved.
It was only yesterday pep suddenly said he was injured from palermo. How long he has been training alone/separately would be interesting to know.
I think the injury is bullshit and the deal is very close.
I just hope we don't have to wait until after the city game but this is a big big transfer and they take alot of time.
Quite often on deals this big the first 90-95% of it is done reasonably quickly. It is always the last 5-10% that takes all the time.

Gotta respect the aggro, though...I'm feeling like I've been two-footed by Romero (and I got the booking, if you catch my drift).
Being called miserable & negative by them folks is another personal fave. Must be what it'd feel like being given lifestyle lessons by Bissouma or Ndombele...or taught social skills by Daniel.
I know we are after Savinho. Garnacho is every bit as good in my opinion. Maybe better.
Hum excuse me...I'm the only one allowed to post Inbetweeners gifs. That's my role on here.
the higher the fee the more pressure it puts on savinho, especially after ndombele.
at 50m, it was an unreal deal, at 70, it comes with expectation from the off.
The best way to deal with the negative aspects of something are to talk about them and do something about sorting them out, if you simply whistle along with a glass half full attitude nothing improves.
It was obvious from the way Pep’s brain was clearly ticking to try and come up with a reason on the spot
How long does he get credit for the stadium... this will be our sixth season now. Another five, ten, twenty years... nearly every Spurs fan I've met credits Levy for the new stadium but it's not an eternal thing. You want honest feedback but you like so many Levy apologists don't want to hear it but here you go... the team baring a handful of players is still a load of shite. The leadership is still a load of shite. The transfer window once again is a load of shite. If he didnt oversee so many poor decision he will still have stadium credit in the bank but that credit expired a few seasons back around the time Conte gave him some "honest" feedback. And what did he do with that feedback? Answers on a postcard to Perth...

"One of the latter, Savinho, seems intent on leaving. Spurs are going back in for Brazilian, with City expecting somewhere closer to £70m for a player that only signed 12 months ago for around £31m."
How Manchester City and Pep Guardiola got the 'fire in the belly' back
City go to Wolves on Saturday, beginning a very tricky opening to this campaign without knowing what their team looks like come the end of the transfer window.
"One of the latter, Savinho, seems intent on leaving. Spurs are going back in for Brazilian, with City expecting somewhere closer to £70m for a player that only signed 12 months ago for around £31m."
So that’s why I live alone in a basement flat apart from my 23 cats . I thought it was my terrible personal hygiene.
You have just ruined my user name !
City bluffing via Peps press conference but briefing friendly media they will accept a high enough bid.
Thing is, for a player like Savinho who’s current wages are so far below his market value there’s still loads of value in the transfer at £65-70m
Savinho
Age: 21
Fee: 70m
Wages:4m per year (current 2m) x5 years (20m)
Total: 90m over 5 years
Age at end: 26
Rodrygo
Age:24
Fee: 90m
Wages: 10m per year x5 years (50m)
Total: 140m over 5 years
Age at end: 29
Even at 70m Savinho represents much better value over Rodrygo from the clubs perspective and has resale value. Plus, his ceiling as a player is easily as high.

isn't a bad poster on here at all. There are much worse. He vents his frustrations on here because he cares. Some people might judge that as negativity and take it as direct critisism but I've no doubt that
Jaynola
would love if some of these players proved him wrong. He's clearly a big Spurs fan who cares alot.Same way I've been giving out about how long these deals are taken. I've now come under scrutiny from the "positivity brigade" but the only reason I'm raising concerns is because I'm petrified that the deals won't happen. I hope they all happen and I look like a total melt come 1st September!
It becomes more of a thing with every transfer window that some fans are more interested in the gossip around new players than they are about the actual football.
Gossip related dopamine hits are a real thing. And it’s only going to get worse.
