Ahhh the old, 'Harry isn't sure' routine... sigh.
Yeah that's why we didn't sign Suarez who has just been an absolute revelation for Liverpool scoring fucking bucketloads and not acting like a bucked-toothed, moany, cheating wee ****.
I'm waiting for the now predictable 'Levy and Harry fighting' post from some other punter.
The German defender i've heard which im sure has been mentioned is Mertersacker,a considerable improvement on Chris Samba imo.Who according to SSN is injured and will miss the 1st few games of the season(fits the mould then of the current crop of spurs centre halves)
No, you were being quite rude towards me with you snide comments.
Once again, I never blamed Levy. I suggested that during his tenure, the early signings tend to be more thought out and better suited to succeed. Last second purchases tend to be reactionary buys and more likely to fail. Perhaps that would have been better wording, but I was thinking that out as I wrote. And I don't think a change in language would have diminished those who see me as the old DP, who was too negative, wanting to have a go because of my previous tone.
But my argument is not 100%, and I don't present it such. I find the term simplification when I do present nuance, to be rather ironic.
But as we progress in August, the chance of signings not panning out is significantly higher. And the facts are there by looking at transfer history.
And I was saying that, for example, Rocha was a stupid reactionary buy and not that he would have been Ledley King if bought in May. That was a poor interpretation.
There was nothing condemning in my post. I use Levy as an era for the most part. He is no more to blame for Rocha than he is to be given credit for Sandro. But he does control the club and has massive influence on how we proceed in our business. My post was just a worry that we are passing into reactionary purchase time. Thus Ruiz suddenly appears. Who else will pop up onto the radar? Will they be good fits?
Rossi and Diarra, just to clarify, would not be this even if happened at 11:59 on the 31st. Going back to Stoof's point, in these two cases, we do have definitive proof that there has been a long standing interest in them.
If you continue to see me as an inflammatory character on the boards, then you have ignored the tone of my posts for the last month (other than Wilson/Harry yesterday)
patience is needed. if wilson is off spurs arent going to seel him without having someone in his place, even more so that we are lacking numbers there.
i expect by friday lunchtime we will have diarra available for everton.
And lazy fuckwits who can be bothered to better themselves and become productive members of society aren't going to give a shit about a football club signing a player when they're too busy playing with their newly stolen xbox.
End of rioting rant from me.
Breaking news
Tottenham's new signing is the Italian, Grabatelli
Sorry Journo,id heard it was Mertersacker from elsewhere,apologies if my post sounded like it came from yourself
Let's see what happens, we have a great squad and I'm sure everyone's frustration is just the lack of football. A nice win over everton at the weekend and we will all feel much happier I'm sure. It's implausible that we won't sign a striker this window so just sit back and wait to see who it is!
You can't have your cake and eat it, he wants top dollar for our spare parts but won't pay top dollar for other clubs established players
Bring Back Irving Scholar!
I honestly believe we will bring in a striker. HR, DL and everyone else knows what we need, there is no "well, we tried" we WILL sign a striker. The trouble is, HR would prefer a PL proven striker, which are out there, but they're either stupidly expensive, or not an upgrade on what we have at the moment.
So, just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride, which we're all used to.
I can feel the tension on the board from here today, not good
I reckon with so much unrest in here, it's just a matter of time till the looting and destruction begins
