Guys you really need to stop itk bashing and saying things like ‘they’re getting their info from ssn’ or giving them sarcastic funny ratings. It’s hectoc here, new page per minute hectic, and that’s basically all just bitching, so a @Archibald&Crooks wont have time to find you and ban you, he’ll just lock the thread and it will be ruined for us all.
This is the nail on the head. Rob made a rant thread. Go rant in there and stop filling this full of stuff that doesn't need to be read by others who don't have time to read all of it!

On our way to our 2 week holiday on Saturday, our car broke down on the French motorway. Me, my wife and 2 kids then spent 2 hours waiting for a tow truck and then 3 hours in a garage waiting for a new hire car. Then having got a new hire car, and having driven for 2 hours, the hire car then broke down. Waited another three hours before the tow truck came to take us to his garage. Then we waited for another three hours for the insurance to get us a hotel and a cab. Then spent 5 hours next morning arguing with the insurance to get us a new hire car for the next 2 weeks. Still no idea where my actual car is or if it's getting fixed.

That feels like this transfer window. But less stressful.
Puts it in perspective.

Yes, I know I'm dreaming here...but just imagine the feeling of finishing above Arsenal, Liverpool & Chelsea without having spent a single penny...

I never interpreted a funny rating as something sarcastic when it comes to ITK. It's rating the information, for example I rated the info about us signing zero from Breezer funny, not because of Breezer but that it's laughable from the club, you know what I mean?
in that case my apologies, but in this climate I hope you can understand me drawing that conclusion.

Rob made that thread so that HE could have a rant, not for the foot stamping tantrums that are popular in here

I'd rather go through that than the shambles all of us are going through now.

Honestly thought we would be buying this window given new stadium.

BUT there have been many on here stating as a matter of fact that some of the youngsters should be given their chance as they are up to it and that we have spent unnecessary cash on players that were no better

So here's hoping ................
Should use SafeStyle direct, if we buy the front windows we get the back ones free :cautious:

A&C , will you be planning to do your post window ITK Cryptic reveal?
Currently? No.

Firstly, I'm not sure anyone gives a shit right now and if we sign nobody even less of a shit
Secondly, I can't remember what cryptics are what
and Thirdly, I'll be too busy putting the boot into Tweety Pie

Tbh I think it was wishful thinking. New stadiums cost money, and I think we'll be in a similar situation to Arsenal for a few years where just keeping hold of our best players is a victory, and a signing or two is a huge bonus. Of course it's worse now where a decent player in the current market costs almost 1/5 of a stadium.

Hoping I'm wrong, but we all know Levy is someone with a keen eye on financials.

Well last season we finished above them all while cutting a profit on the summer transfers so, as we are currently breaking even, I imagine we’ll win the league!

My initial thoughts would be "perhaps if Shatner had put his hands in his pocket we might've won the league"

ValYid saying that Poch is looking to develop youth, but seeing as he was supposedly given assurances of spending then it's definitely a forced hand. Levy can't just keep using Poch's excellent track record of developing youth as a safety net, he has to back him with top quality signings that challenge the first XI.

Also posted some quotes from the man himself saying the exact same thing, but people still think he's going to go full on Klopp based on the semantics of the word "brave".
Ah but you've conveniently missed the part of the interview where "the man himself" stated this:
"We cannot think we are the cleverest people in the world winning trophies spending small money", said Pochetinno. Why you or anyone else would choose to defend the failure to sign anyone, and worst still, suggest this is Poch's choice, makes me question if you really are a genuine Spurs supporter, or just part of some PR "spin" department.
