We all believe chadli lamela and paulinho will become great prem players over the next 3 months don't we ? Soldado will start scoring bundles, capoue is gonna become Patrick viera, Lennon is gonna produce some end product, Townsend will grow a brain, erikson will fancy it against a top side etc etc all because we have changed our manager. I'm gonna have a Stab at it and say no chance !! We will be flat track bullies and when it comes to really big games ie yesterday we will bottle it and come up short. We are nowhere fucking near and if some of you believe that transfer window has been positive and we will kick on your fucking deluded. Same old shit

What a surprise:

@youcef has already turned on Pochettino- nice one mate:

Oh lord, what a feckin gonk.

3 games youcef, 3 fucking games. Under Poch, we've lost 1 - ONE game! Try showing some bloody support! Thick and thin, I'll love Spurs. Seriously, you must be VERY young to think that you've got it bad!

Having followed this 'The Daily ITK Discussion Thread' for the past few weeks climitising with this window I have been led to believe by a lot of posters that you were in agreement that apart from the defence, we were in need of a LWF and a Striker. Now nobody gives a shit about those two everybody is happy that we have a balanced side?????

No doubt Poch will be sacked if we haven't made CL this season or next, at least give him the tools to do the job by investing in the squad, but we know there is more chance of the pope converting to islam than Poch being backed

We are a Harrods club run by owners who have a 99p store mentality
Fulham FC? Thankfully not!

I'm still holding out for 10mins of magic... it's like being 3-0 down to Liverpool and Soldado scoring a hatrick in injury time followed by a 30 yard Lennon screamer into the top corner for the last kick of the game. Go on Levy, we all know you can do it!!!

It's a short termist point of view. Based on today probably.

Yet again a person failing to step back and see the bigger picture.
Based on the fact that I think we lack goals and creativity in the forward positions, and that I'm disappointed that we didn't do more to address that/weren't more successful in any efforts we made to do so (of which we only really know about a failed attempt for Welbeck). And the fact that there isn't an absolute 'right' way to strike the balance between success on the field now and long-term sustainability, and that my opinion is that we're a shade too much in the 'saving for tomorrow' camp which may ultimately end up costing us long term. But it's all onions, as you well know.

You don't have a monopoly on considered, reasonable opinions on the Club. People at the extremes of pessimism and optimism are usually barking up the wrong tree, but there are other valid points of view in the middle that don't agree with yours.

So never mind net spend. It was profit-taking today. A little early - as this usually happens in January. Good business for the Club. More money in the coffers. The start of a five year plan. Of course it made no sense to try and improve the first team - Spurs opponents are just beyond us. We have a first-rate coach who will transform our current group of players into world beaters.

Hull & QPR have stupid, spend-thrift owners.

Spurs is a well-run club where making a profit is the paramount objective. We should be proud of that.

I think Pochettino now knows what it means to be Levied. AVB knows what that means. The tradition continues.

But the Club is making money. And we should all be pleased with that.

Post of the day.

I don't have faith in Levy no, not anymore. I like Poch, but I do feel sorry for him now.

We bought 5 attackers, of which I harbour hope for Lamela and Eriksen. A fully fit Soldado isn't fancied as a malaria riddled Adebayor is preferred to him. Chadli I don't rate. He's come to the PL and he seems to have no intention of even attempting to adapt to the faster pace. Someone told him Pirlo looks good playing at his own pace and he thinks that applies to wingers too.

I trust Poch's judgement too, hence why I'm concerned. We know that for the right price Lennon, Townsend, Soldado, Ade and Chadli could have gone. That's not particularly reassuring.

As for the toy throwing, yes there are some overly dramatic posts in here. However I can understand. Not everyone has the same superior patience as others obviously have and where passion and disappointment merge, you will see dramatic posts. If you're not used to it after all these years then I fear these windows will become seriously repetitive, with Spurs disappointing us, fans reacting badly and a select few posting the same kind of posts in reply. It's getting boring.

You've decided Spurs have let Poch down - yet that's not the info we have at all. That every player has their price is not a new concept for us. Whose being naive here? Whose expectations are loftier than their level?

I do despair of our fan base on a regular basis buddy, I just try and put a more reasoned spin on things in the hope that some listen.

Reckon I've been here quite a while to know enough about the different types of fans we get on here.

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
Our rivals are Swansea and Newcastle :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Do you not think about what you are typing before you post.

I cannot endorse the selling of Sandro. I'm not so het up about things other people seem to be angry about, but I fully believe Sandro would've won Poch over and ended up being invaluable as this season progressed, as long as he found fitness.

It was worth the chance. Well worth the chance, to play it out and see.

Disgusted to see him in QPR colours on twitter.
" WINNER"
