Doesn't feel like a massive upgrade for us, not that I know much about him.Yes. Behind Tim Ream and Issa Diop.

Yep fair enoughBut maybe at his age he now wants to be a starter. Fair play to the lad.....go to Monaco, enjoy yourself. Fuck the bench in N London
Yeah but BMJ was telling us over and over what a player he wasIt was a case of believing Sherwood and Ferdinand on one game, maybe he played 10 and was off colour that game. Rather than watch him 10x by trusted scouts. One of many sliding doors moments, Spurs have been on the wrong end of.
Stranger things....have happened.I wonder if Leverkusen and Wolfsburg are delaying any deals for Taps and VdV until they see what happens with Kane. They know they can bump up the price by up to 10 mill if Spurs receive a massive cash injection from selling Kane. Football is full of sharks
We were chasing top spot and he got Nelson and Saha to help us push on.Not sure how this is getting a disagree when we picked up 16 points from the last 39 available that season.
This is exactly it. Somehow, some way, we have arrived yet again in the situation where the bald control freak just lucks in to taking over every aspect of the football club and wearing 5 different hats simultaneously to cover his shiny dome.
"Just circumstances". "Just the way she goes sometimes". "Temporary restructuring".
thing is, I don't even blame Levy for being overwhelmed and underperforming in the transfer negotiations portion of his job. He's got a million other things to worry about, first of all Lewis's court case.
I just... how many times has this happened now? How many more times is it going to happen before we actually get a proper stable structure at this football club?
HOW MANY TIMES?
Worse. We’ve bought nice players. Good playersIf the window ended tomorrow i'd say 5 out of 10 is very generous. We've only shifted Winks. Maddison is a good signing, the keeper hopefully but completely unknown. Solomon looks to have a bit of ability but it was a punt because he was free. I'd say we're 2 good centre backs, a first team level wide right player and clearing out another 7 or 8 away from a 9.
Mate, take a breath and step away from this argument.Ok.
Fair enough.
I think he’d have come if we had stumped up the cash. I don’t know it would have happened. I’m nobody.
People seem to state with full confidence that it’s a fact that it was never on bc he wanted to stay. They are also nobody’s but they know
Absolutely.
I guess that's where the conviction and trust in your scouting comes in.
Is there also just an acceptance in big clubs that sometimes you get these wrong?
Maguire hasn't scared UTD off going big again since.
So why can’t we both strengthen at CB and have a further replacement for Kane? Would Liverpool/United/Chelsea/Woolwich/City leave themselves short like that?When Kane goes this one will get done and ENIC IN will win the thread saying that you have your CB's now
But ENIC out will point out that we're now without a striker and Levy has left us short again
ENIC in will say Richie and Son will do the job and point out Levy spent £60m on Richie last Summer
ENIC out will then call you a Levybot and bemoan the fact that Kolo Muani was the one that got away all season
Start getting a few right and that confidence builds.....
BUT our recruitment has had way too many fails..... I wouldn't dream denying that fact.
When you're the size (wealth) of us Arse & Dippers; big money mistakes still matter (be that numbers, fee budgets, wage-bill or all 3)....... When you're doped (or Man U) you just shrug it off and carry on.... and on.... and on.
I wonder if Gio would have been a success if Poch stayed. Tanguy to some degree. Even Davinson (maybe).Start getting a few right and that confidence builds.....

....That said; even Man U & Chavski hit a bit of an tricky patch this summer.
On the flipside; make too many relatively big, shit signings in a short period of time and it can wreck you (Everton).
SUGAR SUGAR SUGARIt really does beggar belief. I am crying out for any ENIC defender to find a response to this. I seriously want to hear your exexplanation.
I wonder what Ryan Nelson is doing these days, does he fancy a game?We were chasing top spot and he got Nelson and Saha to help us push on.
It's hardly any wonder he decided the England job would be easier.
They don't have levy?So why can’t we both strengthen at CB and have a further replacement for Kane? Would Liverpool/United/Chelsea/Woolwich/City leave themselves short like that?
