Will be very interesting to see the financials they have been delaying the release of.
Well that was a fn waste of time! So emerson stays and Spence out Doc out? I'm blown away! Joke,,,
Then from a creativity point of view we have an ex Bournemouth highlight reel specialist and porro (could be great) but still no fn creativity in the middle of the park? So we've changed nothing!!!!!! Sorry but Conte is a perfect match for enic.
We will offer nothing new over the remaining months of the season having given teams nothing new to worry about. Terrible laboured unimaginative slow football. Teams will be quaking.... Conte can fck off with levy

I have said it before all only my opinion but the worrying thing for me about Levy is he believes whilst actually being useless he is smarter than everyone else . i believe he is a narcissist who thinks he is some kind of genius when is he is just connected by family to Lewis to thank for his tenure .
His shall we shan’t we dance with a DOF is shambolic and smacks of indecision , no strategy and panic
3 managers who did well out of 13 is it, I have lost count . He blindly stumbled on them in a panic and desperation. Jol after Santini walked , Redknapp a panic save us from the championship hire , fair play to Harry he did well . Poch a backstop after Van Gaal flaked on him and chose United , he carried us in spite of Levy
Santini says he was lied to
AVB says promises reneged on
Jol knifed in an act of public humiliation that still angers me to this day
Redknapp free transfers when challenging for the title
Poch to nice and loves the club so never rocked the boat , but two windows no signings, ( surely nobody believes the crap that was his choice and he turned everyone down anymore)
Mourhino has called Levy out for the umpteenth time about being cheap and missing players
Conte clearly feels he has not been backed , history there granted but taken in context of the above
Players feeling they were misled and had promises broken , incl the ultimate professional Kane .
People who have negotiated with Levy complaining about back trading on deals and disingenuous behaviour
Fans continually lied to , the cringe video about understanding our DNA is more ridiculous by the minute
Then this window
A loan
Pants pulled down by Lisbon as he spent a month negotiating to give them everything they wanted at the beginning and more , LOL. No way that was Paratici in my view
Then finally after learning on the job for 23 years the Doherty embarrassment, total fiasco
I am sure I am missing plenty of other things , but fear I am rambling a bit, goodnight all.
EDIT . I fully expect Poch back as Levy thinks it will quell the angry masses, plus he probably thinks he did it once before , he can carry my sorry ass again for five years . Don’t do it Poch

In all fairness, Kulu remaining fit should plug our creativity problem. When our squad was fully fit, we had the 2nd best defence, and 3rd best goal scoring record in the league. Our squad is stacked so it is 1 in, 1 out - and I certainly don't see any reason to discard any of our midfielders right now.
Emerson is a fine young player who is improving. His attitude is exactly what we need, and the emotion to kiss the badge and cry when he scored makes him a good egg in my book!
Son, Kane, Richy, Danjuma - that is pretty spectacular forward options. Danjuma could be our last 15 minute late goal specialist.
When teams figure out your plan A and youve no plan B....
It's like watching someone play the same tactics in chess repeatedly. Winning the first few times the opponent works it out and the tide turns...
To suggest Emerson is good after possibly 2 good performances in how many? Seriously both times he simply reverted to FB tactics which he played well with, but utterly failed in terms of Contes desired wb...he ain't good enough.
We play 2 wide men with two wbs????? Teams have it covered now and our players are confused and bored by it. With zero attacking creativity in MF we offer nothing and fail to open up the game or opposition defences.
Will u still be quoting the same stats when we are struggling to get top 8 at the end of season. Regression is all I see. If Conte comes out and says levy fckd me as I asked for an attacking MF then he has my support. Otherwise I see nothing between the two.
Patterned failure on all levels, how much longer does this get overlooked.

Unfortunately poch will be back, he knows that the fans love him and so does levy, who will use this to buy some time.
But, it will be business as usual on the pitch as well as off, swapping managers isn't the solution, swapping out the owners of the club is the long term solution for success.
Get back inside and throw away any talk of common sense and rationale.
You would think we were 15th, didn't have 2 of the best goalscorers and returning players. We have barely as yet seen much of Richarlison, Bissouma or anything of the best Kulusevski.
Look at the style of play of Conte and posters should ask who was bought that we realistically could have acquired who would have fitted the model of Conte?
We spent in the summer and have now got 2 additions, one everyone was creaming about and the other we shall see.
If we play to potential we will be close to our objectives. That's down to Conte and the players but honestly reading the posts, you would think we should plunder 100 million pounds and then it would be that we should spend 150 million pounds.
Let's hope Porro and Danjuma have the impact of Kulusevski and Bentancur, then we are laughing.

Id say our direct rivals have both had poorer transfer windows in comparison. Newcastle showed a total lack of ambition for their push and Man Utd ended up with bargain basement loans when they needed to add strength in depth for the four comps they're in.
If Porro and Danjuma hit the ground running. We could be laughing.
I hope im wrong but I don’t think Danjuma is going to get a lot of game time.
Conte’s shown that he doesn’t swap out of form players, I don’t see how Danjuma would change his mindset when Richarlison didn’t
Mostly agree.
Aside from Chelsea nobody really spent big, yet it's pelters, and we are the one with a manager who is likely to leave in the summer.
The transfer window and the usual list of links with players I’ve never heard of has been and gone again.
Does anyone else remember when forums were buzzing at the prospect of us signing Leandro Damiao? It seems the high point of his career was a few months loan at Real Betis and he now plays in Japan.

I think a centre back that can defend would be pretty appealing to any manager..
Also the majority of the top clubs haven't got the neglected issues that spurs do
I’d disagree with this. The first half of the season we suffered untimely injuries to Kulusevski , and Richarlison, Moura is clearly on the decline, and Conte clearly did not rate Gil. Conte is stubborn (both in team selection and tactics), but when things click for him they really click. Danjuma is the creative player who can beat a man that Conte has been craving to have on the bench. I think we’ll see a lot of cameos from him this season.
True to form, Levy trying to rape the South African economy too. In a country that doesn't have proper Health Care, Education, running water for all and adequate food supply, he is trying to get a sponsorship. How low can you stoop.
LEVNIC is one of the most toxic partnerships on this planet. It goes beyond football. I will always be Spurs at heart but I will never be LEVNIC

One would imagine the top centre backs are at the top clubs already and let's hope we avoid the drop..
