As an aside, it's crazy how actors who play 'bad characters' get grief in real life for it. Lots of them usually have anecdotes about being verbally abused in the street for something that was in a script.
Even actors playing comic characters get it. I'm a big Red Dwarf fan and I've watched a lot of behind-the-scenes videos and Chris Barrie has mentioned a number of times that he's been called 'smeghead' by random people in the street.

this to me, is an ultimatum - show me your serious this summer ( ins) if not ill kicck off again january.
Everyone knows he is just as likely to seek a move next summer unless we qualify for CL. That was true no matter what happened. Him saying this isn't going to magically add 100mil to our budget this summer. Especially with only one week left in the window.

From BlueMoon forum posted after Kane's tweet confirming he's staying
What a tool!

I've always been wary of being derogatory toward Man City fans, especially the ones who were there before Shiniwatra and the Al-Nahyans. It's not their fault that their club has been pounced upon by the dregs of humanity. But then you have a section who have absolutely no humility, seemingly no memory of where they were as a club and who mindlessly sleepwalk into the 'we've got money, so we can do what we like' thinking that their owners have.

Such a shame, really. A good, honest fanbase converted into tacit apologists.

So he's staying. Draw a line and all that.
Not until I've gone back through the thread to find all those repeatedly saying he was 100% going, and anyone that didn't agree was in denial etc. Once we've publicly named and shamed the woe is me brigade, then we can draw a line.

Sky Narrative now - He was never worth 100m, he is 28 and on the way down.

forgetting....

Hazard - £100m brilliant business
Lukaku same age - £100 - worth every penny and bought cheap.
lewandowski £100m for a 33 year old..... big teams on alert.

Do they really like Harry?
I live in Australia, but I honestly believe most of the media hate Spurs for some reason. I personally don't get it.

Everyone in the UK could confirm or deny whether the media hate us.

If Kane has got any sense he should now attempt to have a break clause inserted into his contract commencing next summer to take out any ambiguity. £80-100m ish.

Because I don’t care for my feelings, I’m going to hope that the “positive” conversation with FP involved FP saying “right Harry, if you stay, we’ll be bringing in players X, Y, and Z. How’s that sound?”

50% chance of guessing.
He was going and would have gone. We would have taken the money with open hands if enough was offered. He's staying until when, who knows, it may be xmas. None of us have a choice in all this other than supporting THFC.

Have you still not worked out that it isn't up to him?
Of course it's not up to him. But from the wording of that statement, I think he goes in January because Spurs and City have struck a deal, but it can't be completed now because it's so late in the window (we need time to get replacements, and so will the selling club, and so on).

Over on Blue Moon, they're now worried everyone will know how desperate they are for a striker, and they think they'll get really over charged for whoever they end up getting.

Whoever it was on these threads this morning asking what happened to all the supposed deadlines? Looks like we just passed one.

Don't think you're saying anything here we don't know pal; there's obviously a limited extent to which football "really" matters, but there's no need to look down on people for caring about something you apparently deem trivial (but still important enough to make an account here).

My apologies, i wasn't intending to look down on others as a few have commented. More i can't understand the hatred thats all. I do support Spurs passionately to the extent of watching them since the late 80s at WHL and paying vast sums for season tickets in more recent years but i still regard it as a form of entertainment and escapism from my day to day life which, gives me hope and joy as well as frustration. What i dont do is take the actions of any player, on or off the field, personally and therefore hold resentment towards them. That is all i was trying to get at.

Right, so if this is now sorted, can we get the Wout Weghorst thread going again? It’s the 25th and we need to start changing avatars and tracking planes if we’re gonna make it happen in time.

The Friday deadline could have been right. City still put in a post-deadline bid but it was too little, too late so rejected out of hand.

Not quite.

I made SC in 2002. Before it, there was a "tottenham community" that I was admin on along with a guy from Sweden (I don't know if he's still around but he has/had an account on here, @ERO was involved somehow too :p) that we hosted on some free software/hosting. That lasted maybe a year but it grew too big and we couldn't use it any more.

The original SC (in 2002) was on some content management system that had a forum attached to it but it wasn't great. We actually had a massive server crash and lost a lot of it so we started from scratch in June 2003 using proper forum software (vbulletin). That's why a lot of the older members on here all have the same registration date (June 2003). We switched over to Xenforo as the forum software a while back as Vbulletin had gotten rubbish and that's what we're still on today.

p.s. alt.sports.spurs was probably the first tottenham "forum" I used
You welcome, guys

Not saying its scripted but it is only in existence to entertain - there is literally nothing real riding on the outcome other than to provide a group of people some entertainment. What exactly does a script have to do with anything?
You compared it to Eastenders and called Harry a "character". He isn't a character. He is a human being driven by his own personal goals. You're right people shouldn't be so serious, but it's not just to entertain people. Footballers, coaches, admin staff all earn wages from it. It's more than just entertainment for us mere mortal folk. These players want to win things, they want to make money to ensure family futures. It was once solely to entertain the people, but not anymore.
