Interesting tack this "I am the truest of true fans, my enjoyment of Spurs is the purest of the pure. No one can experience what I experience, only I attain these heights of Tottenham nirvana. All others, especially those who want to strengthen the team, shall be found wanting as I and I alone get ever closer to the godhead"Art Vandelay
When you’re watching the game next week with the same team that finished last season, and Newcastle get that last minute winner......a little glow will start in your belly won’t it. All the way out there in Willabong Springs, at 3 am on your porch, string vest and warm beer.
Rage will give way to self righteousness wont it.....
“At least I can show Sammy we needed signings ” after all. Every cloud plastic, every cloud.
Transfers to happen
Grealish 75%
Zaha 50%
Martial 25%

De Ligt 10%
Other like Kondogbia can happen 25%
If we play a flat 4 defence we won’t sign a center back. Sanchez vertonghen are the ones that will play and foyth will have loads of game time with dier as emergency backup I think. Sanchez was in last year to replace Toby already I think. At least the Toby money will be used for the midfield I hope. Still don’t like to sell to a rival. But Toby mentally checked out already last summer by not signing a new deal. He also fucked Southampton to come to us and now is our time to get some from the Belgian bastard. Once a cheater always a cheater.When people say, "Don't worry if Toby leaves. We have Cameron Carter-Vickers and Eric Dier".
Dear me. Reality deniers. Dier looks a mess in defence without Toby next to him and CCV could barely cope with this summers friendlies. If Toby leaves we need a new CB.

He is a massive player no doubt. But he didn’t give a fuck about us last season. And Poch clearly didn’t rate him when he came back from injury in the later part of the season. A shame what happen. But it makes little sense to keep him and losing him for peanuts in a year.Yep, he hardly played last season and when he did he was average at best. It’s not a massive problem.

We paid a combined £30m for them, no way Levy will just say 'you can fuck off'
There's a difference between not believing players will come good and not wanting them to. I realize that we don't have the luxury of pinning our hopes on Sissoko and Lamela finally coming good after 2 and 4 seasons respectively. We have the best Tottenham team in my lifetime, probably the best team in god knows how many years. We have key, world class players that will soon be entering their prime. We need to bring in players that can contribute to the team now and in the next few years. I'm all for developing youth and I follow and support our academy (unlike you who just talks about, but really doesn't know anything), but it's no good to pin all your hopes on youth players that will only really start to contribute to the team when the likes of Kane and Eriksen are retiring.Don’t you feel a tad arrogant to think that because you are plastic and fairweather and a shit fan, that means that every other foreign fan must be?
I said your support is shit. The Danish guy next to you may be a real fan though.
Nothing to do with nationality....there are plenty of English fans on here too that are plastic as fuck.
Who will you support next week?
Spurs or your agendas?
What will be worse for you?
Signing no one and we do shit up til January, thus proving you right?
Or we sign no one, sit top at Christmas and every day for the next 5 months put up with me rubbing our squad and success in your faces?
You will say you want Spurs to win regardless of no transfers......but when each of you step away from the keyboard, where the likes and funnies don’t matter, you all know that deep down, a little part of you would want us to do shit.
You don’t want Sissoko to come good, or Lamela to score 22 goals.
You want Ndombele and Zaha.
I don't mind seeing him go to United if Martial comes the other way. If we only get money in return and spend that on Grealish, I'll be livid£60mil for Toby is a bargain.
He may be 29 but his game doesn't rely on pace. I can see Toby performing to a high level until he's 32-33 without much effort.
Say what you like, but his is an incredible defender and we are definitely weaker.
Fair enough, but I think Poch leaving before the season starts is a bit alarmist.
