Ha. Great post.
Sums up perfectly what I was saying.
One of the richest clubs in the world going into game after game with no recognised striker available and our fans just brush it off and accept it.

Stockholm Syndrome personified right there.

Maybe one league cup in 20 years is no more than we deserve after all.



really annoying isn’t it. You always get fans trying to play down and justify the ridiculous stance the way the club operates in the market. Scoring 2 goals against a shitty Norwich side means nothing, we desperately need a natural striker replacement for Kane who is out for the whole fucking season. I honestly can’t believe fans are happy to accept this. Spurs fans all over, ultimate fucking losers like the club itself.

A striker is a need, but the idea of getting a warm body in today for Southampton on Saturday is reductive and illogical.

Why is it illogical ffs ? Haaland the Dortmund new striker made his debut and scored a hatrick. Who’s to say our new striker won’t come in and get a goal or 2 against Southampton? Lifting the whole mood at the club and progressing in the cup. Anything to help us and fans like you want to brush it off.
 
Especially since they can't be registered in time.

But, you know, narrative.


We are not saying today are we ? We are saying this should of been done 3 weeks ago ffs. The moment Kane was out for the season, a striker should of been purchased. Levy is a bald fraud cunt, so he doesn’t think about the playing squad and couldn’t give a shit.

Then you don't understand how the January window works.

No-one is going to let first teamers go early in the window, when they can hold out until the end and get some use out of them if needed through a busy January. Look at us with Eriksen.

The only reason we got Gedson is because he wasn't active.

If you wanted a player immediately, it would have been Charlie Austin, not Piatek. Although some people have wanted us to get Austin previously.

We’ve averaged more xG in matches that Kane has been out this season than when he’s been playing. The logic that we need a striker to score is based on narrative and a small sample size.

We need a striker for rotation, depth, and to add another dimension to our attack, not because we aren’t creating chances and shots.

money talks mate. Piatek currently is not in the 1st 11 for AC Milan every game, so a decent offer early on in the window would of turned their heads. Our chairman pisses around like a cunt every single window and wonders why the team struggles? No justification for it, it’s pathetic we don't have a recognised striker in the team right now, utter shambles.

I’m fucking tired with people making excuses. If we want a good player, pay the fucking price. If not, wait forever to get an unlikely discount.
Liverpool paid 70m for a defender in January and people were laughing at them. See how he’s doing.

I love how you seem to know the inner workings of not only Spurs' board, but Milan's as well.

Piatek isn't even that good. You just want a body, irrespective of quality.

It was this attiude that got us the ''Bale 7''.

Funny comparison.

They were paying for the best defender in the League.

We're talking about Piatek.

Who until last january, when a team was playing for him (Genoa), was outscoring Ronaldo and Icardi.

Edit*. Looks like he outscored Ronaldo last season fullstop.

Like I said, Don, Stockholm Syndrome.
