No you didn't call for Levy's head but that was the post I made that you replied to. And tbh honest people getting upset now is pointless. The window isn't shut yet, so I'll save my tears for when/if it's appropriate in 5 days time. Let's be honest there have been tantrums on here ever since Pool signed their second player. Everyone is choosing to ignore the fact Chelsea, Yanited, and Arsenal are all saying it's really hard this Summer and all of those clubs have a far greater income than we do.
As for Pool they are really struggling to move players on and due it's causing issues. Did you honestly think they could just throw all that money at players, agents and wages without offsetting some of it?

Come on Trix, we know it’s difficult but that is not a good enough excuse for anyone at this level. 6M salary means you have to make the difficult possible. I am with you though that the window is not over yet so let’s see what happens in the next 3-4 days. Every club that you have mentioned have bought players so clearly it is possible. I would say that the likes of Liverpool who you say are struggling to offload have still got 27 days to do so. They just knew who they wanted and went out and bought first. Good on them.

You have no idea if Poch views CB as a concern. Maybe he thinks particularly Foyth but also CCV are enough because he wants to go with a back 4.

Martial might go to Chelsea because they have a player valued at the same amount, in the same position, that Man Utd want - Willian. That is smart by Man Utd. You seem fairly blinkered. Other clubs can plan strategically too!

CM is an absolute must and I would agree with your assessment there.

I don’t share your anxiety though and I hope you feel I have represented you fairly this time.


I would be very very surprised if Poch would be happy to go from having three top CBs down to two top CBs. I think sometimes people suspend belief to try and make themselves feel better about certain things that are happening. One such case is like this, they try to kid themselves that Poch is happy losing Toby and not signing a top replacement. I'm afraid I don't think that is a very likely scenario at all. Foyth hardly played last season even when he could have played more often, I struggle to see, without suspending reality, that Poch would be happy going until the season with just Sanchez and verts. But if it makes you feel better that this is all part of the plan be my guest...

I do feel you have represented me fairly this time, thank you.

Aggggggghhhhhhh. I fucking give up. I don't know how many times I have said this morning Levy deserves to be hammered If he fails this window. I'm just pointing out it isn't just us struggling. Tbh I'm done on this subject. It's the same shit over and over just replying to parts of what I'm posting, and ignoring what doesn't suit.

My ignore list is going to go through the roof in the next few days, I can see it.

Some laughable posts on here. I know the frustrations but this obsession with shiny new players every TW is a wonder to behold. It’s as if the whole world will collapse because we haven’t got a new toy.
I think the manager and Levy are both trying but we need the right players at the right cost. I’ve been supporting Spurs for over 50 years and i’ve seen the club come close to bankruptcy plus relegation. I don’t want that again.
Just because you buy a season ticket doesn’t guarantee a £100m quid in new players every TW. Let’s keep our powder dry until the TW closes. You can whine after that if it’s a disappointment.
Fuck me dead if this thread hasn’t become a toxic venting soap box for all you disgruntled ladies out there.

Unless we hear otherwise from ITK, I'm completely writing off our chances of getting Martial now. Unless he's part of the Toby deal, it ain't happening.
They'll agree the Toby deal, get it done before TDD and then string us along until the deadline only for it to collapse

Players like Kane do not settle for the trophy of "Well run club". He is an ambitious player and wants to achieve something in his career. How long he will stay with us and be happy to get top 4? Bale and Modric left and they have won 4 CL's. Does anyone think that the player like Kane will not be looking at the current situation of the team and its chances? We still selling our best players while getting N'ns if we do sign someone.

If I ever get into any serious trouble with the old bill. The first thing I'm going to instruct my brief is to make sure there are no members of SC on the jury.

Don’t stop posting, chap- this forum needs a healthy modicum of common sense and knowledge of the business. Especially in the next few days

Top post! The window isn't even shut yet and people are wetting their pants. No one can question Levy's commitment and investment in our club.


Its quite embarrassing really , DL will only be fully appreciated when he is long gone, ok he isn't perfect in the transfer market, but he has put this club of ours on the football map on and off the field and without a sugar daddy or rich country backing us....whilst never putting us in financial trouble or in the red....
From mid table boredom to regular CL footie , whilst building probably the finest stadium in the world.

The constant shit about him is unreal.

However he did it ,however he has gone about it....he has delivered and most fans appreciate and respect it and him.

Agree with you totally but rightly so a lot of supporters are thinking if only he'd been a bit more adventurous in the Transfer market and perhaps we would have won something and be in a lot better position now !
