Other top clubs well unwanted players that I’ve never heard of for £30 million or so we can’t give ours away. Pathetic.

if levy has any pride at all this would get a reaction......surely.......And boy has it worked. The media are lapping it up. We are a laughing stock on social media. Spurs podcasts I listen to are all firmly 'Levy out'. Levy's name is in the mud. The atmosphere in the next home game could be awkward for him.
We have been dominated by our fiercest rivals and it seems like it's Levy at fault.
I've never known a more humiliating transfer.
Do you mean you pulled them up too far or whether your belt is no good.Another day, another round of humiliation. I saved Levy the bother, left home with my trousers round my ankles.
Get ready for the but but but'sListen the the VFTL pod, James Maw and Danny Kelly summed it up perfectly, he’s a terrible negotiator who can’t sign big players in their primes. He never has, no matter what position the team has been in with respect to competing for Major honors and he never will.
As long as Levy has any involvement in this football club, we aren’t winning the PL nor the CL that he claims to covet.
And every time he fails, like this summer, it’s the fans who still pick up the tab and take all the flack.
We don’t do sensibleWe should sign Kenan Yildiz. He's a tricky number 10 who can also play left wing. he's only 20 but he's played loads for Juventus and is an established Turkey international with over 20 caps. He's been one of Europe's best known youngsters for a few years.
A paritici masterstroke phone call and 60 million Euros should do it. he's a square peg in a square hole. he's the right age to mature at the same time as the rest of the team we're building too.
it just makes sense.
Everton are not gonna sell Ndiaye this summer. They are moving into their new stadium and he’s arguable their key player, certainly in an attacking sense. Moyes has also been vocal about how short of players they are. Just a non-starter for me.2 prem alternatives to Eze and Savinho that are arguably just as good and might even be cheaper are Paqueta and Ndiaye.
Ndiaye is probably better than Savinho in this moment in time. Certainly looked better in the prem last season. Eze had a way better season than Paqueta last year but if you go back 2 summers, City nearly signed Paqueta for over 80m while Eze wasn't even the main man at Palace. Both are 27 so Paqueta has already shown he can be as good as Eze and no reason he can't go one better.
They'd be the 2 I want anyway but not seeing any links to either which is annoying.
You pick whatever one makes you happy...Do you mean you pulled them up too far or whether your belt is no good.

some teams throw a lot of money at their teams. see what sticks. and quickly move on those that don't. except united of course, lol.Right, there are reasons..... but lets be very very clear about what was being said.... by you
His priority is never to get the player signed. His priority is to win the deal, that’s why he drags out negotiations, offers players in part exchange, haggles over bonus clauses, lowballs etc.
Just be consistent - we CLEARLY didn't haggle endlessly for the players I brought up, and 90% of people on here feel like we OVERPAID for them.
I can, if you would like, go through other teams wasted transfers if you want - if it would make you feel better and prove that you are completely Spurs-focused.
So let's do it, though im sure you will come back to me with another reason why I'm wrong, even if it completely contradicts previous things that have been said.
Liverpool & City probably waste the least money on transfers - City ---- obvious reasons --- Liverpool is a model I would love to be able to replicate - but the rest -
Woolwich - Haavertz, Jesus, Fabio Viera, Pepe - Gokyeres remains to be seen, but he is more of a risk than Solanke
Liverpool - Nunez, Konate (I do not rate this guy for 40m)
Man United - I mean - you surely don't need me to list here....
Chelsea - same as United - come on bro....

Can’t blame Ornstein for this. It’s a Levy fuck up.He’s not obviously reliable though. His reputation is way better than his reality.
Him and Ornstein have pied piper’d the fuck out of Spurs fans this summer. I’ve blocked both and still can’t escape their fucking faces.
Struggled to complete 90 minutes, but I would have said Rafa VDV was very much in his prime ability wise.This is a great listen. They said we haven't signed a player in his prime since Klinsmann.
We don't want to see it, it feels as if we will though.We don't know exactly what goes on but yes, make a bid, and then move on if it,'s rejected out of sight.
In 12 days time none of us want to see we tried.
Calm? Fairly, in the sense that I can't do a damn thing to change anything.You still calm about the window Bill?
If only there was 10 days left still eh?
So it's happening!More chance of Halley's comet being seen befire the close of the window.
Currently in talks with Liverpool at the Aldophi hotel.
Yeah they have an oldtimer striker that's decent!
some teams throw a lot of money at their teams. see what sticks. and quickly move on those that don't. except united of course, lol.
then there's us. it's pretty obvious to me that levy tried to flog the last team (poch's team) to death rather than rejuvinate it. then it petered out.
its also obvious the new team we are building is set to peak in about 5 years time. most of our signings have been with that in mind. filling in the pieces of the puzzle to compete and peak then. so we're early in the project. and thank god we got rid of ange because he was the wrong guy at the helm to build this team
In any case, when that team does come together and peaks, expect levy to not rejuvinate it and flog it to death just like last time.
yeah but this is the whole problem with trying to sign suitable players now. They are going to be the best players at lesser clubs. We'd have to overpay and offer over 60m but we created this scenario ourselves by not acting quicker.Everton are not gonna sell Ndiaye this summer. They are moving into their new stadium and he’s arguable their key player, certainly in an attacking sense. Moyes has also been vocal about how short of players they are. Just a non-starter for me.
Definitely. The only players I can see us getting now are from skint European clubs who need the money.yeah but this is the whole problem with trying to sign suitable players now.

Otherwise the alternative is just punting on more young players who probably aren't ready to start for us.
