Just wish we could sign Toby
Not interested in getting dragged into the ongoing duel between you both, but genuine question...
My hunger for the EPL title far outweighs my thirst for CL...
...Am i deluded?
...Am i not down with the kids on this one?
...Am i not alone?
Curious.
Welcome to the summer transfer thread, Joe
Well we bought llorente that had more 0 years at the top to offer. And we also relegated Swansea doing that.
Llorente wasn't purchased to play in the team. He was brought to keep the bench warm
You've nailed mate. Couldn't have put it better myself.So, by being brave and taking risks, Poch was alluding to buying more cheap young prospects like Dele in the hope they'll come good. Rather than being more competitive on wages and more adventurous in the market.
SoGuido 🇺🇦 and
sammyspurs have it nailed, while me, thousands of Spurs fans across social media, the written press, Sky tv, journalists and the rest of the football world have misread him and got it all wrong.
Good. We have nothing to worry about then. Poch is happy, Poch is king.
I mean seeing as Poch is off to Chelsea or Real Madrid having handed out an ultimatum to the Board, it's odd that we are renegotiating new contracts with our players, all this done behind his back, without his say so (would have to be as he hasn't held his crisis talks yet LOL).
Odd that we are drip feeding them out, one by one, in sequential days, a bit like it was planned. I expect this to continue too, I bet we will soon announce Poch will have a new deal, I bet we break our transfer record, I bet we get a new player in early as opposed to waiting until transfer deadline day (which would also constitute a "risk" in my book).
But no, do carry on, being manipulated like a puppet on a string, after all this is your ilk that this is aimed at, this staging and PR dance the Club is setting up, getting the feeling that the board are backing their man a PR exercise attempt to make those feel that the board don't back Poch, to show them that they do. The aim by the end of the summer is to get you to go wow, yeah Poch was backed by the board, Poch is still here, he's happy and got want he wanted. Poch can say, I got what I wanted, we took the risks I wanted (*insert what your definition of risk is here*).
Mark this and my other posts (since Poch's post match press conference) on the subject and call me a twat at the end of the window when I've got it all wrong.
I think I lean towards you on this one.
The Champions League is amazing and we'd be able to laud it over Woolwich, as well as getting Worldwide recognition... but the Premier League is pure consistency over a year.
Win the league, then build on that success to win the CL. That's how I see it. Winning the CL in 2005 didn't make for a dynasty at Liverpool, nor would them getting lucky against Real Madrid next Saturday convince me that they're better than Man City have been this season.
And he’s also a handsome man. A shame he can’t move.
So. In his Post match interview on Sunday you don't think he was pleading for more backing and investment in the team. Check.
In his interview in January, he didn't mention his frustation with the way we conducted our summer business last year, we all just dreamt it up. Check.
And because Harry Winks extended his contract, eveythings fine and Pochs never been happier with life. Check.
You're making a fool of yourself.
I have no idea why we purchased him at all. Looked useful played behind Kane at the Bernabau - then nothing. Clearly not suited to our style on his own upfront, and barely played when Kane was injured.
Didn’t you see how he played for Swansea?
We obviously saw him as a different option, that hasn’t worked out.
A retweet by Ricky Sacks is pretty much the kiss of death for any rumour's validity - but if true then we are 100% correct to fuck United right off if they expect to buy Alderweireld without letting Martial come our way.
I think this could be initial posturing though, and not the end of it.
Sure, but his most promising position tucked in behind Kane wasn't really exploited after Madrid away. Plus we didn't play to his strengths (i.e. aerial balls into the box) when he got his cameo roles. Everyone knows he's a talented player, but we'd have been better off with a like-for-like Kane backup imo.
Exactly this! Would love to see a full new stadium try it tho...
#He's one of our own, he's one of our ow-wn...CameronCarterVickers...he's one of our own!! #
Could just go 'CCV' though as that's three syllables if indeed he even is 'one of our own'. I won't stand for us fans being labelled as liars!!
