Much too late for any surprises?
I'll miss the personality that is Sandro but he is a yellow card in the first 15 minutes and you spend the rest of the game fearing the second.not any more he isnt and more to the point he cannot move the ball fast or accurately enough for the new system.
Agreed mate. The mood would be different if it was a week earlier too, off the back of spanking QPR and seeing the early signs of Poch's style coming through. As well as those you list we also signed Lloris and Vertonghen to new contracts this summer.
Don't know how to include Marki spurs post which is similar to yours so this reply to both. I'm sure your right in that Poch wants to work with a smaller squad but there has been no improvement in quality of player. This need for improvement has been recognised by the majority of the regular (sensible) contributers so we have not improved ourchances of competing. Not a pop,just an observation.
How you guys forget last summer and that amazing window is beyond me.One day I hope , we really go for it. I don't think in my lifetime though.
We all know Schneiderlin and J Rod would be Poch targets from the start. Rather than go get than Levy thinks he'll wait and get them cheaper come deadline day. Meanwhile Pool come in and buy all round them, as do Arsenal. Pathetic. Once again Levy has been Levyed. All this nonsense he's great at negotiating.
Am I the only one who feels bad for Stambouli. His transfer today has basically been completely forgotten about.
we hear this way too often. i refuse to believe moutinho, leandro, musacchio, oscar, villa, rodriguez, schneiderlin & countless others all failed because we were unlucky and not because levy's too busy mistaking net profit for net gain
You've seen A&C's (x2) links right? Take it there. Bored of you now.I would not be so angry if our rivals hadn't splashed the cash and strengthened but every single one that finished above us and the one that finished directly below us have upgraded massively while we have at best stood still and at worst regressed
Our rivals are Swansea, Newcastle now for 7th place instead of our rivals being Liverpool and Arsenal for 4th
It is a totally unacceptable situation and a rightful cause of anger
I don't believe that for a second. I'm absolutely certain that all the media outlets reported that we bought him for approx. £13m-£14m, and I'm fairly certain that I remember hearing those same outlets saying we sold him for about £9m. (Which, to be fair, was still more than he was worth.)Sold Pav for a profit. Less nonsense; more like due a knighthood.

Looking forward to Levys post-window statement tomorrow
Absolutely spot on! Problem is though, most stick their fingers in their ears and close their eyes when @JJetset speaks, because they can't handle anything but positive news! I used to be one of those, but JJ words of wisdom took me to the lightIf you listened to JJ people wouldn't have these high expectations. The fans do it to themselves because they're fucking masochists.
Either some of you need Brain transplant or have exceed ur bed time.
we have a new manager with 5 year plan, who has assessed the squad, getting rid of players he doesn't believe fits his plans. FAN favourite or not but sandro hasn't done it for a few seasons coupled with injuries.
Holtby and Siggy haven't delivered for us.
5year plan in place, he is starting with the back, moulding the side from the back. Ok we didn't get any additional creativity players, I guess if we cant break the team we wont lose the game.
so you want him to go all out buying players considering he hasn't even had a full season in charge to know the players fully.
It makes perfect sense.. You have 18-19 senior outfield players, leaving room for academy players to graduate & that will show enthusiasm in training & want to progress & put pressure on senior players. It's not good having an overload of players who get disillusioned when there not involved, having less senior players eases the tension & breeds confidence
They're building us a fucking stadium and built us one of the best training grounds in the world. Is that not ambition?
