Soldado was a player struggling to adjust to a new league in a new country..Roberto soldado says hi
Sissoko is just shit, he's a fucking fraud of a player and he should be nowhere near us..

Soldado was a player struggling to adjust to a new league in a new country..Roberto soldado says hi
Wijnaldum himself said he didn't want to join us once Liverpool made their interest known.Do people really think this was a Poch signing?. Of course it wasn't. He wanted other players earlier in the window and Levy refused to fund them. One stand out case was Wijnaldum. Poch openly said he fancied him, Wijnaldum said he fancied Poch and Spurs, Levy said no. And there were others. But Levy's famous "tight ship" philosophy ensured we missed Poch's targets and Sissoko was brought in at the last minute as a kind of peace offering.
Guangzhou Evergande?I'd just selling him in the summer, but who would buy him?
I usually don't agree with your opinions, but the Sissoko transfer just stinks. Poch definitely wanted Mane, probably wanted more money, and even though we should have gone for him, I'm 100% sure we even had other options than him. But we did end up with Sissoko on the last day.Do people really think this was a Poch signing?. Of course it wasn't. He wanted other players earlier in the window and Levy refused to fund them.

John Thomas in "Blame Levy" shocker
I wanted anyone rather than no-one. I thought our transfer window had been poor and unambitious for a CL club. Wijnaldum obviously warmed towards Liverpool when it became obvious we would not pay his wages or stump the transfer fee. So, what do you think. Was he a Poch signing, or a Levy signing.? You'll probably say he was a John Thomas SIGNING.Wijnaldum himself said he didn't want to join us once Liverpool made their interest known.
You wanted Sissoko.
Who do you blame for this signing you so regret? Poch?John Thomas in "Blame Levy" shocker
He was a Spurs signing. That's all that matters and it was a mistake. His signing would have been discussed and agreed by many different people.I wanted anyone rather than no-one.

Soldado may not have been an 'effective' signing, but by no means should he be on a "worst signing" list.
Right attitude, always gave 110%. Just unfortunate to have joined us at a pretty rocky time.
Fuck me, you're bringing up deals 9 years ago to trash him now.Who do you blame for this signing you so regret? Poch?
Do you ever blame Levy for any of our troubles ?
I suppose the berbatov / Frazer Campbell exchange was my fault
So you dodged the fucking question. CleverHe was a Spurs signing. That's all that matters and it was a mistake. His signing would have been discussed and agreed by many different people.
Why do you have this incessant need to repeat, over and over and over, that you blame Levy for everything.
We get it, we all get it.
We are a team and a club. There is no need to single out anyone, especially over something as complex as a signing which many people input their opinions.
You do understand that our recruitment isn't done by just Levy and Pochettino, right?
Carlito was pretty chuffed.The worst part is all summer long we believed that we couldn't get this or that player because we believed they'd cost too much only for the club to drop 30m on Moussa Sissoko.
That hurt
The only reason to defend Soldado as a signing (other than he seems like a nice guy) is that he had several excellent seasons in Spain. The guy scores 25+ goals in three consecutive seasons in Spain, you certainly can't blame Levy for thinking it made sense to sign him.Nope nope nope he was fucking horrendous. The point wasn't 'who is the signing who has put the least amount of effort in,' it was which signings have been our worst in terms of value. And Soldado is way up on that list, you have got a short memory pal.
I answered it clearly. You're too caught up in your own nonsense to see it.So you dodged the fucking question. Clever
