The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

[talkshowhost86]

You are very wrong on this. We are already 100+ million pounds behind Liverpool financially. The top 5 are CRUSHING us in commercial revenue streams. We actually won't even have financial parity with Liverpool come 2021 when the stadium is built and debt free.

I think a lot of people on this forum need to genuinely sit down and look at the trends in football. There is a clear trend away from gate receipts as a major source of income (it'll likely be less than 15% of our total revenue this season) and towards television and commercial money.

And that assumes Levy or whoever is in charge will ratchet up spending. There is ZERO guarantee that the new stadium will automatically force whoever is in charge to spending hundreds of millions of pounds on transfers and on wage bill increases.

I didn't say anything about gate receipts...did I?

New stadium is what brings in the commercial money and helps put us on a par with Liverpool and Arsenal.

You're right that we won't suddenly be at the same point as them, but it'll be a step in the right direction.

My main point though is that any Spurs fan who things we can sustain any sort of long term challenge to the likes of City, Chelsea and United is being delusional, particularly now that even more money is rolling into the game.

this been posted? sorry, been away and i just cant catch up with this thread

BEN: If they take 23 still chance sisoko

23m would be a decent deal in the current market tbh. Can't see them accepting under 27-28m though.

 

[absolute bobbins]

As are you by quoting me just to say that & then me again now... And so on...

No, I usually only quote insightful and interesting people who add something to the debate so It's highly unlikely you'll ever be quoted by me again

 

[Spurs' Pipe Dreams]

Interesting to see that again.....


same old people saying the same old thing - did we finish 10th with Kane and Lloris quitting in the end? I forget

Brilliant!!

I reckon it's all hanging on whether or not we get Sissoko, doubt it's anybody outside of what we have been alluded to.

We seriously need to invest in some spelling and grammar lessons for our ITKs.

I can make better sense of hyrogliphics than this statement...

That took me 10 rereads to understand, let me try and translate for the rest of you:

"I do not know if related to isco, but received this message,' no, wait until later' in reply to my 'Levy has done it again' question. It could be anybody, but he knows his players so it won't be anyone shite."

 

[arunspurs]

Bang average.

Bang average may be....But still a upgrade on Mason, Carroll, Bentaleb. who are going 13m & 17m

 

[robbiedee]

Even £23m for Sissoko is outrageous...he played well in glimpses for France but wasn't anything special. He didn't exactly set the world alight at Newcastle either. From what I saw in the Euro's he was great at driving the ball forward but then didn't have the distribution at the end of his runs.

£23m to play second fiddle to the real Mousa...hmmmmmmm

 

[rossdapep]

What's Adeboyar doing today!

signing for Fulham?

with a brand new stadium i think spurs will be more attractive to potential buyers, and i can remember that there was an itk a few weeks ago claiming that a buyer is negotiating with lewis & co regarding the sale of spurs

I still don't understand.

A leaf falls off a tree, dead, lulling in the wind. It lands on the ground, still. A gust of wind lifts it and blows it into the distance. In its place, a small green shoot of hope is willing its way skywards ...

Bentaleb is not going for £17 million, It's an option to buy.

Nabil is also a vastly superior player to the headless chicken.

Going to Fulham.

 

[stevensthfc]

We could've got Boufal and had an end of transfer window wrap party at McDonald's for that sort of money.
