I'd be surprised if this doesn't happen, I'm also surprised that it hasn't already.


🖕read between those lines bitches🖕
How is anyone getting anything else from this other than it’s basically done pending announcement?

Am I being thick?
How could it mean anything else?

This just sounds like dotting I's and crossing T's from the ITK we've got. Seems to be a consensus that they expect it to happen/it's done.

Naturally we've been 'burnt' before that till their's an official post we can't rest... but I don't get the slight panic yet given it's just gone quiet for like 24 hours.

It could be read in many ways. I read it as I thought this was done. But it is odd that it hasn't been announced so something may have happened.

Either way as we know, never count your chickens with spurs.

As for those saying we were bad because we had a defensive system with Conte. Imagine letting lose same players lose with a high line and attacking system.

CB remains the most important position to strengthen for us and hopefully we won't fuck it up.

The part where Trix says ‘I’m surprised it hasn’t already’ surely means he’s surprised it hasn’t been announced yet as it’s done 🤷🏻‍♂️

Could be trix saying levy is messing it up as he and herc have a habit of giving Itk along those lines about levy very consistently so of course it leads people to think negatively.

Best thing to do is just wait and see what happens.

Could you elaborate on how you think it means that?
I don’t like guessing what ITK means mate as it’s all a pinch of salt and understandably they often have to be coy with their wording.

As per my previous message it could mean it is or was 95% done but goalposts have been moved by levy etc or as you say that it’s already done just not announced yet.

I think the barrage of recent very emotional negative ITK relating to levy etc does tend to lead people to interpret not clear ITK negatively unfortunately.

Yeah see your point.

But I’m really positive about this summer and this season.
Although I do have an odd frustrating wobble, Tottenham does it to us all.

I read it as it should be done and the reason it isn’t I’d likely working on something else.

I dunno, I’m not an expert or have any info, but, I read it and thought ‘the only reason it hasn’t been completed, is because a better/other option has come forward in the chain.’
I could be totally off, but that was my initial thought.
