You would have hoped finishing 17th would have been sufficient reason.

he's a massive mug, it's not exactly the first time he's been made to look a fool and do nothing about it. but i do really appreciate your incredible optimism
Aghhhsstt
I am so pissed off! At the same time I want to so strongly disagree AND agree with you.
From one side - fucksake, just signing a despearate option ("sign whoever we can get at this stage") is very shit idea. In long run it means we will overpay for not-good-enough players who will become the deadwood we fail to move on in the future. So in long term, it sets club progress back.
From the other side - you are correct, we are very much short of needed level and we do need additions. Strategically thinking, I would say that some specific loan deals could do the trick here. That would give us time (that, make no mistake, we will totally waste under this board!) to identify correct long-term targets for the future.
Levy will have the agents, parish and forest in credit now to retaliate in future. Mark my words.
Good player but does not make us any better... if we drop 50m on him then the world has clearly gone mad. He is a Chadli type player at best.
All the evidence is that on transfers he couldn’t sell beer on a troop ship.
Credit with what?
Charging a stupid price for one of our players so we end up not selling?
There is no retaliation. It’s a zero sum game. Bloke is a fucking putz and useless at it.
He’s not got one over on anyone for 10 or 15 years. Even the PSR deals for Richy or Brennan, he paid top dollar for middling players.
The days when he used to pull down the pants of the Sunderland or Pompey chairman selling them a job lot of crap are long gone. He’s old, the PL has moved on.
That's like some 89 year old ex- styud muffin going to a School disco thinking he's still got "the moves" and can still pull any girl he wants....
It's ILLEGAL!!!!!
Fucking hell, vendettas with Forest and Palace. Screams big time.
Kudus doesn’t count, getting one over on West Ham is like beating up the blind kid.
Ok good to know, but we are not signing Akliouche so...
One of the worst things about Levy now is that its increasingly obvious all the other clubs hate him. I bet they double hate him after he paraded himself around with Neville talking about how great he is. He's spent years being a dick to them on every negotiation and they're probably sick of the sight of him. They'll do deals if they have no choice but if there is an alternative/way to fuck him over they are for it.
'kinnel. no need to add to what's already been said but i will say i will never look at any anonymous bullshit from these rumor mongers ever again. named quotes from journalists with reputations to protect or fuck the fuck off you cancerous twats. it's been going this direction for years but this window has been the peak of the trash transfer rumors. can't believe i got sucked into this pathetic routine. we all know better.
oh yeah fuck you eze. i hope you break your fucking leg today.

Absolutely nothing Levy has ever done suggests that this is the case.
That's not a bad shout, the player obviously wouldn't want to come here now and tie himself down to SPurs for 5 years, but 12 months pre-World Cup? Get him in, let him see the surroundings, get him building a bit of affinity to the badge, surround him with nobody to get the ball to him, hammer his self esteem into the ground, make him feel like no-one else would touch him with a bargepole by next summer.
He'll be paying us to sign him for next season!
No. Its time to admit there's an underlying reason why players don't want to play for THFC
I’m sure something will get done. It needs to.
However, we were ONE spot from relegation last year, and it was clear as day what we were missing. Sure, we had our pants pulled down….TWICE (or maybe more).
I’m angrier that we were one spot away from relegation. We win a trophy in spite of that, and there are good feelings at the club.
EVERYONE knows we need to beef up our squad going into a Champions League campaign.
Again, our board has been negligent with getting players in. Yeah, Madders’ injury was a killer. But the issues are glaring. Kudus is a wonderful signing, but without the other pieces around, it won’t help.
We are way too thin right now. Another injury to an attacking player and we’re in a world of hurt. Still need two offensive minded players before things done
