Ginola was an exciting signing.

The unveiling was epic too

Got a little happy when we signed Edgar Davids.

Grilliitsch on the bench for Hoffenheim tonight....

I was excited by the prospect of Dominguez. I love a tricky winger.

 

[Bill Madrid]

I wanted him to be soooooo good.

I even had hope when Pochettino took over but it just wasn't to be. I will always have the early memories when he was MOTM in his first two Premier League games against Palace and Swansea and then that back heel goal against Cardiff.

Who would have thought that's when he would peak?

He was looking a really good player until that ubercunt Charlie Adam tried to cripple him, never the same after that

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

I was definitely excited by the likes of Soldado and Paulinho. I remember how good both looked on their debut for us at the Lane, which I think was a pre-season friendly against... Espanyol?

I have learned to not get excited by signings ever again.

Paulinho was also world class in the confederation cup for Brazil in the month before signing. About soldado, we really fucked not signing benteke and signing bobby. I to this day think benteke would thrive for us.

 

[Totti]

He was excellent that day. Him and Dembele (who I think scored). Horrendous challenge and you're right, almost came back an entirely different player who seemed to dodge tackles and was a liability in the middle.

[Bill Madrid]

French left sided midfielder....

Naaa, it was Chumi (Juan Brandáriz Movilla), a Spanish centre back, comes from near La Coruña, plays for Barça B.

 

[Fattynomates]

Klinsmann.

Not sure if he could keep up with Pochs training sessions? Getting on a bit now tbh

He hasn't really done too badly for himself since leaving...

Won the double with Barca and earnt himself a shittonne of money

I would rather we hadn't have signed them & instead did things the right way. Instead of Ricky villa's cup winning amazing goal, we would have given his place to local kid Dave.

Interesting... how common is it for him to start v being on the bench?

 

[Totti]

He's started all but one game before tonight when fit.

Yes totally agree you will win nothing by signing top class world cup winners nothing at all levy is a fucking genius.

Got a little happy when we signed Edgar Davids.

Was the first time I saw something from Tottenham on the telly.

 

[OffTheBench]

I thought we'd win the league when we signed Ruel Fox. Think I'd seen him playing for Norwich vs Bayern Munich in the Uefa Cup and assumed he was the next Maradona.
