Damn you and your research. Don't kill my dreams!
Thats actually pretty funny considering we are looking at Barkley, Foyth and Tolijan...
Keep tripping over the quotes you like, ad dismissing the ones you dont.
Its you thats going to be up in arms when the window slams shut and we havent signed the likes of Bale and Dybala etc......because its you that thinks "squad cover" is a dirty word.
Trippier has taken over from Walker...fancy that.
You arent listening pal.....Poch trains players to challenge the first 11. Squad players. He isnt going to sign better than Eriksen for 90M so he can challenge Eriksen from the bench.
LOL, yes who's talking bullshit
And what is bulking up the squad all about? Improving it.
You have claimed we should sign 1 or 2 players to immediately improve the first team, yet you are now trying to claim that Poch agrees with your stance,
Despite openly admitting that he wants to bring in players to challenge our first 11 and give competition for places.
Thats squad cover. You are at a total loss as to what this club is doing, or what you are even saying.

When you consider that Middlesborough have just paid 15 million for Assomgalonga (and 60 grand a week) a player who hasn't attracted any interest from the PL then paying twice that for Barkley a proven PL and England International is a price worth paying irrespective of contract length he has at Everton.
If Levy doesn't see that as good business then he needs to go and find another Ruel Fox or similar who will be cheap and likely heading out on loan in twelve months time, there is already a list of them after just two odd seasons under Poch.
The new ground has fuck all to do with the ring fenced transfer funds that are available to Poch. To suggest that players do not want to come to bench warm is fucking stupid when thats exactly what is happening at other top six PL clubs. That's how competition is bred, and it's a pitiful excuse to say that a last two season CL top four side cannot find one fucking player worth a shit that would move to London in a heartbeat.
Or on no one?
“Bringing players and trying to put more pressure on their star players, their key players – and for us we need to do that too.”
“We understand that Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, [Eric] Dier, [Toby] Alderweireld are really good players. They want to win but need to feel the pressure a little bit to improve every season.
“If there’s no competition in behind it’s normal to drop your motivation, it’s normal to drop everything that you do. And then it’s difficult to win.”
You do know what behind means dont you? That means our signings are the type that will challenge our KEY players from the bench.
You have gone total whack job friend....you seem to have completely misunderstood, and come out swinging so hard you have punched yourself in the face again.
Here is something else you also claimed regarding spending 44M on Douglas Costa:
Taking out the sale of Walker as that was said before, wouldnt you find that a rather wanky and defeatist approach to our window.
Poch mentions players coming in to challenge "Eriksen, Kane, Dier,Toby and Dele" from behind, but you'd be happy to spunk a small fortune on one attacker and sell Wimmer, Njie and Nkoudo?
Somehow, thats the same as what Poch said?

The worst is nazi-in-chief A&C who rigorously patrols the forums, banning any person who dares question the legitimacy of ITK's. He's also a part-time beggarThe Goat isn't a person, it IS the SC people. Apparently they use "The Goat" to release "info" that isn't coming from the household bullshiters.
The whole site is one big fraud.
Laughable that several "ITK's" made posts about that Gazza fella coming after the newspapers wrote it
Instead of calling them out, the retards over there say "Oh they must have gotten it from the same source as the newspapers, seeing as they released it more or less at the same time"
Safe to say most of us wouldn't last very long on there.
Not sure if that says more about us or them tho
And i'd like to add to that along with a shiny new training facility and gin palace being built, we also have one of these....
Guy is the biggest bell piece on the planet. Literally patrols that ITK thread like some sort of Stalin dictator and bans anyone that starts to divert attention away from anything ITK related. The guy is a prized prick and they all lick his ass on there. There's about as much trustworthy ITK on there as there is Tottenham signing anyone in this pathetic transfer window..... zilch!!!
exactly!
turks dont have money. fucking forget it
Right but there's a big difference mate. Spurs are not Brighton because we have totally different ambitions for the club. Judging by our stadium move etc, we clearly are looking to establish ourselves as a top club in the country. So with being a top club you need to win trophies and we just don't do that as a club.
You comparing us to lower league sides is ridiculous because we are on complete different wavelengths to these clubs. For a club of our size we should be winning a lot more trophies. The Spurs fans are probably the most patient fans in the world because we have to put up with set backs for so long now.
This club need to win stuff it's that simple otherwise we run the risk of starting all over again. So to summarise it, yes trophies are the be end and all for a club of our side and current ambition. If we want to keep our best players then we need to start winning trophies. Maybe you enjoy Spurs being a nearly club all your life but I want my club to start winning stuff.
So....by your logic Middleborough makes a shitty deal, therefore each chairman at every other club must immediately go out and make an equally impulsive purchase to prove they fucking care.
Seriously - it doesn't even make sense. A player is not worth 2X because he's rated 84 on FIFA while this other player rated 42 went for X.
A player is only ever worth what someone is willing to pay for him...right now we're the only ones pursuing Barkley, therefore he's worth exactly what we say. Eventually even those Everton cunts will figure that out, and maybe he'll arrive.
On the one hand it gets him out, recognises he was shit for us and underlines how his last-minute signing was an awful mistake.
On the other hand, I have ever-decreasing confidence in us signing significant replacements. We can barely scrape together a bench of any recognised strength for Juve, we'll have got rid of four players from last year's squad as things stand by next week. However dismal Sissoko is, you have to think he'd be better coming off the bench against Bayern than say Tashan Oakley-Boothe

i would sell him if we bought someone with the money
To be fair he does have a point about the not coming to be on the bench. It's bollocks.
I sure City had Aguero, Dzeko, Ballotelli and Tevez at one time. Bony had no qualms going there.
They have KDB, Sterling, Sane, Silva , SilvaB, Gundogan, Toure, Fernandinho for 5 spots. I suppose you could put Jesus in there too.
It is what is happening at other top clubs.
Yet a lot are missing the point, wages.
It makes challenging for a place, and being squad player, much more attractive when you are getting paid more.
Also you may have the chance of winning a medal, which if you are realistic , has more chance of happening at City, Utd, Woolwich or Chelsea, becuase of that same reason..wages.
