I wonder if Romero has ripped up his contract yet
I refuse to believe Sudoku is a real person.
It seems like every season we're supposed to be in for Eze and it never happens. That, and the fact he's a Gooner's fan, should have been major red flags.
For the record, I don't give a fuck about Eze, or MGW (I liked him, though). I'm ashamed that we appear so fucking weak and limp when it comes to going for the throat and trying to be a great club. We're just also-rans with this setup. Wankers. Fucking wankers.
James Maddison is a staunch gooner.
Wise up. It makes zero impact in 99% of transfers.
His info was just that we got played and Eze held out for Woolwich.
My opinion was Woolwich were always going to hijack the deal. They’ve been strongly linked all summer. Havertz is a back up for Gyokores anyway.
They don’t even play the same position.
The same due diligence that Green lit Chelsea fan Jason Cunty and Gooner Darren Bent....
The way they both played for us it was clear they were sabotaging our club as some sort of petty spite!
We shoulda kept the receipts on the pair of them!
Personally, I blame Wenger for ALL of this..,
Bear with me, Ive got it all laid out:
as not ONLY did HE take Hoddle to Monaco (and subsequently Waddle following him to France to break up any potential Gazza-Waddle-Lineker trio at Spurs, but he also took Sol from us (another Summer ruined, and subsequent years of torture)
But he's also responsible for setting into motion a generation of 20-something footballers who are now all Gooners cos of his fucking invincibles!! Eze being one of them!
Fucking Denis Nielsen cunt!
... Oh, and David Dein for getting Wenger over in the first place!
That is not the view at all. It's the view of the Levy apologists. Fact is we agreed terms with him a long time ago, but two weeks of arsing about has got is here.
There's 1 person to blame, and it isn't Eze.
I was just thinking that we're now like Trump in the Alaska meeting. Taking it up the shitter from an enemy who is just far more brave and assertive that us. All talk and swagger until we get into the room with the big boys and then it's small-time Levy tucking his dick between his legs. So pathetic.At this very moment in time, Levy just knocked Trump off the number one spot in my most despised human on the planet, list.
I’m not sure how the club can be blamed for Eze choosing Woolwich over us. We can blame the club for leaving us short this window and everything else. But if we are doing a deal and Woolwich come in what can we do?
Maybe we should have moved for Eze weeks ago but do we even know if Palace or Eze were ready then?
Precisely.
And point 1 never happens in isolation - it materializes through sustained effort regardless of how me might judge the means (see Abramovich's Chelsea, Fenway's Liverpool, Mansour's Man City etc) . Those that don't capitalize on it weren't genuinely doing everything to get to that point in the first place, that's why they ostensibly "fumble" it.
Levy has the footballing success rate of a broken clock - he's been right twice in 24
keep that muggy shit off the football section, every fucking thread ends up having political crap pulled into it. talk that shit in its dedicated groups cos people are sick of seeing the same old shit.
I am.
Eze is gooner scum, there’s every chance he agreed to let us do hard work with Parish and let the Gooners come in last minute.
That snake Vinai will have helped as well
With respect to your view point. Avoid “wise up” in your replies. As it’s condescending. I gave two examples where it very much did matter.
And for the record

Yeah, I'm getting closer and closer to packing it in.
Last year I said I'd renew if we won the EL. Then bastards went and did it.
Now that I have renewed I'll probably maximise this opportunity to see in the CL and then be done with it.
I've got close to 450 loyalty points but I cba anymore. I went to Udine and made it back in time for Burnley and I enjoyed watching us play. But there was very emotional connection with club. I've never felt more detached. I didn't get that first game of the season buzz.
The only thing is that even by levy's standards, this transfer window has been a gigantic cluster fuck. I just can't get out of my head that something is happening behind the scenes at board level with noises about new investment, stadium naming deal, Vinai coming in, Lange being employed but then Paratici being involved, Charrington being sent in by ENIC, fuck knows if Joe Lewis is about to can it. Maybe winning the EL has made Levy think he's achieved it all and is just going to coast along (let's not buy the PL and CL shit he came out with, Vinai told him to say that), with his next project being the hotel. Trimming the wage bill all the way down is a sign of assisting a new owner to takeover. I'd love to know whats happening.
here's a counter narrative regarding Eze cos to me I been there done that since before that Judas since 1991...
What IF all those Journos/ITKs/Youtubers had no fukkin clue about this affair but clickbaited/ragebaited/generated clicks to long this out just to farm engagement from those that knew this would be as it was?
I've done 30 years of transfers but I honestly think the Media (by that Skyports/TalkSport/Youtubers/X) hoodwinked us because they know Woolwich are a rival club therefore garnering traction on this one signing - remember we have 2 days of constant updates Eze to Spurs was 'Close' etc to be gazzumped by Woolwich which causes drama...
I refuse to be monetised & commoditised by these scumbags - I keep saying if the shirt aint held he aint coming...
I find this transfer window VERY interesting from a social media point of view - because & just imagine this for a moment IF Eze was always going to the club they wanted which was known by the player but these snake oil salesman who ride the wave of passionate fans just to £$£ Farm our engagement???
This needs to be clear Fab and all those cunts & some who think a 'Here We Go' is a grace from God should be disregarded as nothing more than fukkin waffle whom sells hopium to fans to farm engagement to therefore earn money off our backs???
I don't follow transfer news - never have seriously but as a fanbase you can blame Levy, The Board, etc for the loss of Eze but maybe just fukkin maybe & listen to me here those that supply this information are all full of shit!
We are fukkin Tottenham - yes we aint winning the fucking league, we aren't probably winning the Champions League either...but we are gonna give the fukkers a goddamn run & maybe we hit silverware!
The fact that these journalists cause fractures in our fanbase & it's only fukkin week 1 completed of the damn league.
YES we need signings, YES Levy aint da man & YES this sukks but it aint fukkin JUDAS levels - we won a fukkin Trophy if Eze don't wanna come to us then who gives a fukk???
NOW it's up to the fukkers we put our trust, money & reputation on to do the right fukkin thing - but WE ARE SPURS we've been here before ffs...
If you don't like what happens when the window closes & you actually give a fukk then you either have two paths :-

If you don't like what happens when the window closes & you actually give a fukk then you either have two paths :-
- Do fukk all & accept it
- Do something about it by showing this club we as fans deserve better
- Or fukkin whinge constantly about the people you blame
it does seem a little bit fishy tho, people were saying ages ago the scum would come in and hijack it, it had that feel before havertz.
he is a dirty gooner afterall.
