Edit: FFS who putSchmoodSpur in the bin? He may have been spouting borderline club propaganda but he didn't abuse anyone.
:vertna:
Honestly, the best pubs in my town don't show the football. It's fucking bizarre
Many will have already acknowledged that Poch and the golden eggs of Harry & Dele have accelerated the progress of our much vaunted top-to-bottom club revamp (the "project").
You often hear the very argument that we're "ahead of schedule" from both Poch and those fans understanding of not being able to take financial leaps based on the stadium yet.

You do?
IF we did, we (like roughly half this forum) obviously didn't like the rumoured £70m pricetag.
Oh yeah - I quite like them. I just like to see the "*insert team here* won the transfer window" hype backfire like Everton last year (can't believe they forgot all about that conveniently on sky sports earlier).
You mean the gangsta wannabees that thought they were better than they really are? Yeah, big miss.
Everton did it again tho. Spending like mad men’s instead of building a proper team. They pitty me
Likewise, but didn't really get switched onto the rest of London and the gig scene until after a few more visits to the Lane. The distance from Essex and cost only made it possible here and there on paper round money.
Advent of the EPL fucked me rotten a couple of years later when the ticket prices shot up.
Dark times followed. Dined out on that FA cup win for fackin' years!
I think the main reason for no transfer business in this window is the net spent factor.
Levy has managed the net spent very nicely previously. This was due to the quality in the squad, he could sell players for good prices and hence having buying power for new signings.
However, his recent purchases in the likes of Llorente, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Janssen is been poor. Even with price inflation, those player's resale value hasn't improved or even gone down and hence no attractive offers if any.
Media were reporting that Levy wants around £50m plus for Toby and £25m plus for Dembele.
We didn't hear any offers. If Levy could have sold half of them, he could have had buying power to sign players as in previous seasons.

Buggered again?
:carrollwtf:
ochfacepalm:
Why? Well you're spouting shite for a start. "FFS....levy is a disgrace..we are a laughing stock.." do me favour. Mate, I understand you're upset and underwhelmed but your opinion and mine for that matter mean sod all. It's what Poch and his team think that matters and Poch says he is happy. He could have said he wasn't and would be snapped up by most of the top 10 clubs in the world, such is his reputation.
I watched the Debate on SKY last night with Parish, Bellamy and Strachan and they couldn't sing the praises of Spurs/Poch/Levy high enough.
Oh and as for Levy I am far from a fan.
What makes you think that?
Fair enough..but as a big club I would expect to keep our best players and buy some quality reinforcements. That is what all the other big clubs do, but we have become so used to letting big players leave that now it feels like we have achieved something when they stay.
I try to avoid bars with TVs whenever I go out- unless I am specifically going out to watch football or some other american sport (rare occasion these days- NBA finals is about it). Spend enough time watching glowing monitors, try to focus on human beings when I'm drinking with them.
Dunno about price...How much we bid...etc etc etc.
I know we made a bid...I know he wanted to come (this is prior to Chelski interest So dunno what he was thinking at that time)....And I know he was expecting us to bid again. I guess we didn't.
