Thank god someone's basing their opinions on what they have seen, rather than what they hope for !!
Maybe some people have seen positives?

Your avatar - a Bowie Labyrinth Christ Sacred Heart mashup?First it's a shame, for someone who is always right, that your grammar is invariably wrong. I find it rather laughable that you have the cheek to call AVB a moron, yet you don't know the difference between "know" and "no."
But that's by the by, at least this time you have made a small attempt to be less trolling.
If Woolwich had signed Capoue, I would be worried, he's exactly what they need, the amount of interceptions and tackles he puts in is immense. He is a cracking signing for us, a powerful player who has actually got good technique and can play a good ball. He's a definite upgrade on Huddlestone, and would have easily sat well behind Arteta in the goon midfield. I am really glad we signed him and even more happy that they didn't.
Lamela has massive potential, he's one of the most highly rated young players in the world, the fact we managed to sign him without the attraction of Champions League football is nothing short of amazing. Oh, and as a side note he scored more goals than Walcott last year.
Paulinho is the kind of midfielder we have been missing at Spurs for years, he gets into the box, and gets on the end of things, he has shown this at the highest level for Brazil. To say he is a slow version of Livermore is ludicrous.
I don't know a hell of a lot about Chadli or Chirches, so I can't really say how they are going to work out, but at the very least they have filled roles in the squad that we needed strengthening. With Bale drifting inside last season, we had a massive imbalance in the team Siggurdson never really looked right on the left hand side, Chadli plays naturally there.
And Soldado, looks pure class, his movement is amazing. He will pull defenders all over the pitch disrupting their defence and making space.
Eriksen is another very highly rated young player, who again fills a role we have been desperately short at in the last year.
Will they all succeed? perhaps not, but they need time to gel and time to adapt to the premier league. give it a few months before you write them off.
I didn't miss you. I think "supporters" like you are fucking cancer on football and I also believe that our club and this forum would improve immeasurably if cunts like you fucked off and never came back.First of all, I hope you all missed me, after another unjust sin binning. I didn't realise that democracy know longer exists on Spurs forums.
Tell me, @ Mr Always Right , have you got children? Or did you ever go to school?
You strike me as the sort of person who would expect their child to write an A-Grade essay on their first day of a new course.

. I did not accept failure as an option.
Of course, it's early days, we've yet to get gel (clichemania) and the introduction of Erikson and Lamela could add the spark we've been missing but on the evidence provided so to me so far, they haven't made nearly the impact we all hoped.
I haven't written anyone off, and I made that quite clear. My thread is based on what we have seen, so I don't know how you can start talking about Lamala and Eriksen. I also said that Capue was a good worker that lacked skill. I suppose the same could be said for Scott Parker. What does surprise me is your optimism regarding Chadli and Paulinho. Yes, they may turn out to surprise me, but what I have seen up to now has been rubbish.

As for democracy, people disagreeing with you doesn't mean there is none. In fact a truly democratic society encourages discussion. However, when your entire basis for discussion is being a cunt just because you can, don't expect everyone to agree with you. I'd imagine the majority on here think you are a cunt, hence your multiple sin binnings.
Don't bitch about democracy and then whine like a wee bitch when it bites you on the arse.
To your point about our signings - they are on the whole excellent signings, not all of whom will be a raving success, because that never happens. I would ask that we give them more than a few hours of play before we cast them off as shit.
Finally, if I hadn't made it clear earlier, you are a cunt.
So that makes you Mr Perfect then?I have one son who is 28 years old. He is a self employed graphic designer with his own business. I did not accept failure as an option.
Did you honestly expect to be seeing a new team in full flow by now? We haven't even managed to get them all on the pitch yet.

All most reasonable and actually well written for a change. Your spelling is even correct, so there may be hope.Thanks for you eloquent reply, I can see you are a man of education. I want people to disagree with me, that's why I post on forums. If I ever found a forum where everyone agreed with me, I would be off like a shot. My wife rarely agrees with anything I say, but I am still an excellent husband. What annoys me is that I get sin binned for my opinions, whilst foul mouthed members such as you get left alone. I suppose though, that in Scotland your type of behaviour is the norm. You only have to look at George Galloway

Harsh. Just because he spends all day drawing pictures. That doesn't make him gay.So he's gay then?

There is a difference between a team in full flow and one that hasn't scored a goal in open play.

The thing is, I can understand your frustration at being sin binned for having an opinion. What I can never understand are those opinions. As someone with a 28 year old son, that must put you at mid forties minimum and to have the opinions you do would leave me to assume you are mentally deficient, a troll, a gooner or a cunt. There are no more options to suggest to cover why someone should expect a team full of new players to suddenly be world beaters. This need for instant success is what is wrong with football these days and the people who peddle this message are, on the whole, utter cunts, yourself included.
I believe you may well be a fine husband and father. I also believe that the personality on here isn't your real persona and I further believe you may think you are encouraging discussion with your views. You may even think you are funny.
Wrong. You're still a cunt and this forum would improve without you being on it.
