Summer 2014 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

[ChrisOTDH]

They are filling for time with talk about paperwork. Fuck off sky sports news.

1 min left....... Wonder if Levy has forgotten where he put his "Buying players" Mobile phone..............

 

[EssexYid]

EssexYid do you know that United signed a deal with Adidas or Nike (I can't remember) just for their kits that makes them the same amount of money per year than we make from EVERYTHING! How can we really compete?
We are punching FC some years.

Ok but why can't we compete with Liverpool? They have a similar sized stadium, and didn't have any form of European football to offer last season. Their owners want a new stadium too, but they still invest in the playing squad effectively. Why are Spurs different?

 

[jimmyriggle]

I agree on City and Chelsea.

But United finished below us last season, and I fully disagree on Liverpool. We were laughing at Liverpool for players like Sigurdsson and Dempsey who chose us over them. The reason Liverpool went ahead of us last season is that they invested in their squad above the money they received for players like Sturridge, Coutinho, even Suarez a year or so before. And they also invested the money in the last 2 years so much better than we have.

To be honest, I'm probably still more disappointed at the signings we made last season rather than not bringing in more/better players this Summer.

Liverpool also bought carroll for 35 million, downing for 20 million, charlie adam for 8 million. They made some signings that make ours look like buys of the century. The problem is they can do that and STILL continue to invest because they are a bigger club with a higher revenue and wage bill. They had to pay suarez nearly 300k a week to stay last season for christ sake.

Liverpool are a funny one, because people seem to forget that prior to the few years under gillette where they were woefully mismanaged, they consistently finished in the top 4 if not challenged for the title. Quite why some fans believe we now have a right to finish above them is bizarre.

 

[BushHillSpurs]

Are you suggesting we got nothing from AIA or that UA didn't pay us a massive wedge?

United get £75m a year just from the people who make their kits, not sponsor them.
I can only imagine how much they get from the actual sponsor.

We get peanuts in comparison as we are not a global brand to the other teams we are competing against.

 

[haslingtonyid]

Arse now applying for an extension _ bastards new stadium, top 4 and now an extension!

We can't even build a stadium let alone an extension

 

[Furball man]

That's that then

 

[Hazza]

Happy New Year!!!!

 

[FightingIllini]

What makes me laugh is levy.s brief to every new manager is to get top 4 or else.. Then he goes and makes a profit while all other top 4 rivals upgrade on a grand scale.

Exactly. None of our recent managers have been given a meaningful chance make the club a true Champions League regular.

 

[shawry1882]

still time to re-sign Defoe to take to 7 HGP so we can have 16 international players ?

 

[Éperons]

Who's going to start the January thread? I think we should sign that guy "Passi" that everyone's had on their lips, as it were.

 

[tricky]

they all looked homeless if you ask me

owning a home in birmingham is pretty much the same thing tbh.

We'll all be happier when actually see our new signings play, Fazio, Benji, Vorm and Yedlin

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

TalkSPORT said Lassana Diarra's contract might be terminated to go to QPR, we should go for him if hes available for free

Nice to see you are feeling more upbeat.

I on the other hand am on the edge.

 

[Furball man]

Night all I'm done...roll on the next game

Man who claims to be a financial genius not understanding the difference between a sponsor and a clothing company (who pays to do the kit). ochfacepalm:

Keep up.

We're not exactly Swindon Town either! Our wedge is quite substantial compared to other rival teams - ticket prices, market share, etc. - Everton and Villa especially. We are NOT broke.

New QPR signing Sandro posts the following message on his Facebook page: "I'd like to thank Tottenham Hotspur for everything they've done for me. Spurs has been my home since I moved to England and I loved every minute of my time there.

"To the fans, I'll always have a special relationship with you and can't begin to express how much your support has meant to me, particularly in tough times when I was injured.

"I can't wait to get started at QPR now and look forward to wearing the famous hoops for the first time."
