I still cant get my head around why Lloris and Perisic weren't out the door in early June. 2 players of their age, both wanted to leave, it should have been straightforward free transfers.

In retrospect, Perisic not leaving might not be such a bad thing. He's a very good 20-30 min impact sub surrounded by the first team players.

With Lloris it was a matter of him finding a team. That's on his agent and his delusion wanting to be a starter at a CL side. Not much the club can do about that.

Conor Gallagher could be our Jude Bellingham. Without the technique of course, but hey, a wildly overrated attribute. Gallagher is something like a much less talented version of Bellingham.

So nothing like Bellingham at all really then.

Not interested in other clubs as I'm not as invested or interested in the context to each unique situation.

Using other clubs as examples is pure whataboutery.

In the context of this club, it's inexcusable imo.

......Until YOU do it.

Never seen a club struggle to shift deadwood like we do

We're probably on some blacklist where clubs just can't be bothered to deal with Levy

Tottenham 'reject loan bid for Eric Dier from Burnley'

After nearly a decade at the club, Dier has been repeatedly linked with a move away from Spurs this summer having not featured under new boss Ange Postecoglou.

Understandable

 

[Hampshire Spur]

And you want to do that with DCL ??

Even his name sounds like an ACL injury

You should be a scout. Joking aside we need a striker or two fast. 3 games dont make a summer. Long season ahead.

It's not how football is, that's how we are. We are chasing after two players who will cost altogether 100m on the last day of the window. We employed a head of recruitment, he's seen taking a holiday with the team, no one has a fucking clue when this guy is supposed to start work, meanwhile we are still consulting a former DOF done for fraud. What other club is doing this?

Yeah, we're consulting a DoF who brought us Romero, Sarr, Udogie, Vicario, Bissouma, Bentancur. What a terrible idea to do that.

 

[Airfixx]

Those 3 don’t make us better now and they get in the way of our own youth talent. That would be massively underwhelming.

A proper centre back and Vlahovic would be more convincing.

What RW would BJ block?

Tosin is 25.

We struggle to shift as we place unrealistic demands. Could have sold sanchez to rennes and got cash.

sorry to be crude but is it then worth spunking shed loads on a player that is dogshit, when they will make very little impact, just to hit a quota?

With Skipp, Forster, Austin, Whiteman, Maddison, Davies and White, we have a squad of 24 players. With pretty much just the prem this season how many players do we need?

It's almost certain that Austin, Whiteman, White and Tanganga will not be included in our final squad.
So our squad will be 17 non HG +Skipp, Maddison and ageing Forster and Davies
The plan is Europe next season.
We must plan ahead.

It's also the effects of our terrible purchases in past years. A DoF would help, but the core problem is the players we bought and the salaries we put them on.

The issues though were because we "backed" two fucking dinosaurs.

I'm not on the hate train with Dier (I do have an issue with those that are) but the very first thing Jose did at Spurs was to hand out two new contracts to an over-the-hill 100% leaving Toby and and new contract to Dier. He also brought in Rodon, literally one of the worst CB's I've ever seen play for us.

Sanchez's deal made sense (in part) at the time because we played a high line with two slow and ageing CB's and were moving to Wembley's massive pitch from WHL's smallest pitch in the div. (although his fee was quite extraordinary and doesn't reflect that he runs as though he's on stilts).

It's been facicle with the Paratici hire but the only thing I can't complain about has been his acquisitions, on the whole, they've been very good and since he "left" we do appear to be more profiled focused (looking for and being linked with players with similar profiles for positions).

The issue, and one not unique to us is selling players. The market is small and whilst the reason for this is PL salaries in general, our salaries are significantly less than all of our rivals and yet we still struggle to sell, I would have hopped it would have been to our advantage.

It's a combination of inept people trying to sell, with players that don't want to go to the only options available. They are happy to not play and collect wages. No ambition or determination. Explains a lot.

 

[Chelmsford Spurs]

I'm amazed that there wasn't been more rumours surrounding Osimhen and any of the big boys

 

[Skippa18]

Levy really needs to stop fucking around with sending offers via second class post

At the rate it's going I think he's using pigeon mail.

 

[Doc]

Haha, yeah I'm codding.. he does loads of things well but there's a lot to be desired re. his touch and passing.

 

[jack sparrow]

Anyone got the latest from newsnow?

Genoa wants Ndombele (for free of course)

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Still think we have a striker lined up come deadline day. We have kane cash to blow.
