Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

They just don't want to sell him. And it's City, they know they don't have to.

It was a decent bit of market intelligence to sniff out that Savinho wanted to leave, and past cases with Pep indicated that they might just want rid under those circumstances, and had Rodrygo been possible for them maybe Savinho was possible for us. We weren't completely wasting our time on this one initially.

But the chain of events didn't work that way and its over now. Savinho has 4 years left on his deal and no leverage, City has made their mind up, no amount of money we bid is going to change their mind.
Maybe, but you never know...

You'd never guess Sherwood played for the club. Always talks us down more than any rival ever could.

It's not the first time Sherwood's been wrong about newly bought Spurs players....

Sherwood unsure about Van de Ven​

Speaking about Tottenham’s defensive options, Sherwood said: “It’s not about individuals at centre-half it’s about partnerships.

“I hoping that [Micky] Van de Ven is the answer. To me he looks a bit wooden, I think he’s very quick, he’s six foot five.

“I’m just saying what I see, I don’t know a lot about him, hopefully, he’s a lot better than what I think, but he looks very wooden on the ball.

“Quite slow on the turn, very quick in a straight line, enormously quick."
 
Dark horses for title if we can keep everyone fit imo.

No.

Our strikers ain't good enough. Thats just a fact.

Look how good Vardy was that year for Leicester, as an example. A level above Solanke and Richarlison. At least one level.

Find this other quality attacking option, and we are maybe in the mix for top 3,but right now I still think we are looking at a squad capable of top 5 at best.
 
Isn't it incredible that buying a player like this just increases the hate in some people?

For years the hate for Levy has been centred around him not bringing in top quality players. Now he brings in 3 and it makes them hate him even more!

Imagine hating someone for delivering what you've always wanted! It's incredible!
It's not unique to Spurs; this problem is rampant in society today. Everyone is so spoiled and used to algorithms tickling their dopamine receptors and flooding them with confirmation bias that if anything contradicts their internal narrative it provokes anger.
 
I think i have to give credit to levy and tbe team on this one.
I didn't think they would or could get him, but they did.
Really believe he will be a star for us, and when the injured players return in the new year what a squad we have.
If we can get another one or two in, things could really happen with this manager now.
 
Do you seriously think that Levy signed off on this deal in order to look good before a load of people online with made-up names?

Is that how clubs worth billions of pounds operate?
That isn't what I said.

I said Shadydan the troll is using the fact that Levy signed off on an exciting attacking player, to troll the majority of the forum that he knows full well aren't usually pleased with Levy.

No idea how you got that post of yours from what I had posted.

For the purposes of trolling TFC, DL can approve signing new players, but only up to 10% of last years revenue - otherwise JL needs to sign off (if JL is unavailable, Gary Mabbutt can also approve).
