Knives out for Damo?

Those verdicts are trash. I've sprayed diarrhoea into more convincing and well organised arguments than that.

There were a few that stood out but my personal lowlight was the premise that darren Bent's value is now 7m. Half of what Crouch might go for, and less money than Defoe, who was coming into the last year of his deal. I feel physically violated that I have even blighted my eyes by viewing this piece of rectal discharge.

I take it you thought the article was shit then?

DOF and Chief Scout, pritty much same thing!

I thought he left a while before he joined us?

We should raid hammers and get nani

:rofl: :duh:

FFS…

This is part of the article in The Times
but it didn't appear in the online version...

I've scanned it and thats the best I can do, you might have to enlarge the page to read it all.

those estimated pressent value stuff, is absulute rubbish. And the notes next to them are harsh and sometimes untrue

For some strange reason a lot of people believe that the broadsheets are more reliable than the red-tops when it comes to football. They're not, as this tosh proves.

How often is there ever a good article or story on spurs though? The journos have to cover over 20 clubs so they most frequently know less than us. Plus, the only media that isn't controlled by dessicated, quail egg scoffing plutocrats, is internet cut-n-paste advertising compost like tribalfootball.

Apparently there is a bid coming in from FC Hamburg .

 

[Chris12345]

What crap... the valuations are way out (someone's already pointed out about Ghaly) and even the fee's we paid are wrong in several cases!

On the same basis that Kaboul and Bent have lost 50% of their value based on bad form, should Bale not have increased due to his good form prior to injury??

long term injury = minus a few million? :shrug:

See, that article might be worth shit if there was some kind of formula for that table but there isn't - the level of fact there is limited to one non-Spurs fan journo who turned to this shitum piece because his bit about the queen mum being exhumed so that Stan Collymore could f*ck her corpse then punch it in the face was pulled, last minute... this was his fall back piece...

Berbatov
Steed
Zokora
Chimbonda
Bale
Hutton
Woodgate

All good signings at one time or another, only a few of them some people would slate, but they are all good signings made by DC to me.

Make no mistake,if we sell Kaboul we will be lucky to get £4.5million,Boateng - £2.5 at the very most,Rocha - £1.5 million tops and in the unlikely event that we sell Darren Bent - we will not get anymore than £12 million!
I hate to say it but we fucked up big time in the transfer market and we paid over the top for all those signings!
Martin Jol lost his job because these players did not address any of the problems we had on the playing side and we have certainly lost ground in the Premiership because of them!
Will Comolli lose his job? Not sure but he certainly deserves to!

 

[Rupstoh]

Levy employed him.

Levy should call the shots and take them too.

It's OUR money that pays the sponsors to pay the wages of the players and management.

Time for the board to act.

Thanks for scanning the table pal..

A lot of the estimates of value are subjective (as are the player assessments).

Spurs are a buying club (and have been for most of my memory - bar the 80'sScolar debacle, with ambition and sound finances. So I don't find the descrepancy in purchases/sales, as offered by the article, too worrying. Spurs do have sources of revenue, and of course costs, other than buying and selling players.

I have no real axe to grind with DC. It's hard to judge him without knowing exactly what instructions he's been given at various points.

However, I am becoming increasingly unconvinced by the whole DoF/Head Coach business. To me it doesn't add to 'continuity' at all - but the opposite. When one or the other leaves their job the whole situation, in footballing terms, within the club changes. I'm suggesting that in effect having two different people in such key footballing roles is likely to double the risk of instability at the club - not avoid it.

Well that's my two bob's worth anyway!
