Redknapp - Spurs are slipping

[ackie]

It does seem that his analysis is right. One time we were indeed challenging Arsenal and were above Liverpool. We made top 4 and then seem to have gone backwards. Our Transfer Policy has been questioned. I understand we have a Stadium project and we are now buying young player with potentials but it may be to our disadvantages.

We've had a bad start and at this moment we are depending on a young player as our main striker. Let's hope we do indeed catch up and make it to at top 4 or at least 5th with a trophy.

He's right but I still hope he catches an incurable std

Didn't we again finish above Liverpool last season? And Arsenal are currently 2 points ahead of us with the same goal difference.

I'm not saying I disagree with the article, and I wish we had our transfer business done earlier, but we are only three games into the season (albeit with three crap results) but there is no basis yet to state that we have gone backwards. We need more time to declare that as fact.

The article has good, obvious, points but isn't balanced.

Our recent signings haven't reached the heights of Bale, Berbatov and Modric but we have tried buying good players with a lot of potential.

It's disappointing that none of them have reached the height we hoped for.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

He is obviously correct. His short term points will be negated somewhat later today with Son coming in, and maybe Ade leaving. But in the long term, he is spot on. We have increased the distance between us and top 4, and decreased the distance down to 6th, 7th & maybe 8th.

 

[punkisback]

Yeah, the tide turned when we let a 13 point lead go.

 

[Borks]

Fuck off Redknapp you bitter ****

 

[TaoistMonkey]

Just read the headline. Can't be bothered to read any more. We are only 3 games in ffs.

Prick

 

[dude573]

I think in theory he is right, but we have been saying this for a while now. I am confident we will finish 5th.

Even if we had nine points from three games he'd still find something negative to say because we sacked his dad.

100 % right. Same mistakes every year. Levy still hasnt learnt anything. As long as he is in charge, we will NOT compete.

"The manager was trying to get his team organised for a trip to Old Trafford and instead he had to take them to Germany for a tournament."

The levy circus

 

[Black]

Of course were not slipping lol

and i don’t think our pre season has anything to do with it or our transfer policy. Poch has had a year with the players he wanted two pre seasons now and somehow still can’t get his “philosophy” across. I don’t think a striker or a defensive midfielder is going to solve our problems somehow.

It feels like were falling further behind the "top four" and the teams behind us are catching up. I just hope we don't get stuck in the 8th to 5th positions for years to come but it feels like we are.

We didn't lose at OT because we played in Germany that week, we lost because we couldn't take our chances and Utd took the one that they had.

We didn't lose at OT because we played in Germany that week, we lost because we couldn't take our chances and kyle Walker took the one that they had.

Fixed

everytime he talks about us this is all I hear

I wish pundits would actually tell it how it really is. Man C and Chelsea are so financially doped it is impossible to compete with them. Just check out their NET spends and wage over the last 5 years. Chuck in Man U's incredible revenue and wealth (admittedly well earned) - they've spent a quarter of a billion pounds in just 14 months on players. That leaves Arsenal and Liverpool ... the former won nothing for 10 years and hung on to 4th place whilst they built a new stadium and have only just come out of a long period of selling their best players. Their prudence in building that stadium, coupled with FFP, is now enabling them to finally compete once again (demonstrated by signings like Ozil and Sanchez). Liverpool? Well, they have spent a couple of hundred million pounds more than us in the last 6 years and only finished above us once. Meanwhile, we decided to start our own new stadium project after investing significant funds in the training academy and youth projects (which is paying dividends). Our stadium project has just started and we are looking at a period of at least 5 years where we will have to generate funds by selling players or developing our own prospects. And we're doing a mighty fine job of it too as we have a young squad packed full of talent and lots of home grown players. We won't win the league, but without a £500M injection of financial doping no-one outside of the top 4 will. But when we have the new stadium, NFL games, new sponsors, bigger revenue, a squad full of home grown players who have developed into established internationals, we'll be a club with an identity and the funds to move onto the next level in a manner to be really proud of.

We have been since his dad left, and it's one man's fault, Danny

 

[Japhet]

I think in relative terms we are doing very well. For Man City or Chelsea to be where we are relatively they would be winning everything available every year. I for one would hate us to be owned by a Sugar Daddy. In athletics terminology, we are drug free and I hope it continues.

I don't think so. Why would he sign off saying "I'm predicting a 2-2 draw – but would like to see so much more from Tottenham." If he was bitter surely he would want us to lose? I think he's completely right. Who else took their team to a tournament in Germany before the opening game of the season at OT? It's Levy!
