The Summer Transfer Window POST MORTEM THREAD

[nailsy]

I have supported this team since 91. This is the best I have ever had it supporting my team. When I read comments of people ready to boo our team I lose faith.

Yes, I would have liked us to make signings but how on earth would 35 million pounds on grealish have put us on par with City?

Seriously, this isnt Fifa or FM, this is the real world. And when you pay close to 800 million pounds for a stadium to allow us to constantly challenge to be top four in the the biggest leauge of the world, lets get some perspectice

I've been a fan since 91 as well. I don't think people on here want to boo the team, but they probably want to make it clear to Levy that they aren't happy with how this window has played out.

We were never going to catch City this season. Signing a Grealish, or a Zaha could have helped retain a top four spot though. Just that little bit of extra quality can make a big difference.

And to add to what Hercs said, Poch and Levy werent talking a week ago or so....i hate being negative....

Does anyone want to go ahead and parse Poch's words to prove this wrong? Does anyone still think was one gigantic choke job and f**k up by Levy? That's now three ITK (four if you count JJ's bit about team not admitting fault) that have come out with bad news about what really happened the past few months.

Poch washing his hands of Levy and saying "screw it I'm out" is a real possibility, especially if injuries occur and the squad struggles.

One ITK said a few weeks ago that this window will be Levy's legacy. Unfortunately i think it will be because he didn't back the best manager Spurs have had in a long long time.

This?

I thought he meant Kane, not Redknapp!

To be fair most pundits aren't sticking the knife in. We have a good squad and thus far haven't sold any key players.

Let us wait through the season. Depending how things go will reveal a lot. Poch is reluctantly accepting the BULLSHIT DL has been telling him on why...

I know why I say that

All we can hope is that Poch gives him a second chance and we get to next summer and he fucking makes good or else all of us have a right to kick up a gigantic fuss

The number of people that slagged Baldini(even though they had no idea what he di) was incredible. Knew how to get deals over the line though didn't he.

I said this and got immediately shot down with a bunch of funny ratings a couple of weeks ago. A disappointing transfer window under AVB (not dissimilar to this one) was one of the reasons he was brought in the following season.

The issue that season was our scouting, but we were brilliant at getting the deals done. Baldini seemed to get the flak, but whether it was him identifying the players is a bit of an unknown.

Just doesn’t sound good at all mate - I’m very concerned.

 

[Hazelton]

Oh dear...

 

[SpartanSpur]

It’s all starting to make a little sense now, Dirty Donnas interview which I think Herc mentioned something about and some other previous pieces of ITK.

What is Daniel up to? ?

Oh crap, yeah that was last week too.

I am not a hypocrite, or lick arse. I call it truly way I see it. I know the privilege I have to have the connections I have, I yell what I hear, and am the most optimistic, and still held out that we would do at the very worst one deal. And I know who that player was. Lol, he refused. We try again, the DL way, and it fails. Also know that the club have made certain pundits not to rock the boat. Tim take a bow

Because the club is being sold.

Sounds like Poch could walk if things aren't going well then, this is what I was dreading

That explains when poch said he is not the one to speak about the transfers and you need to speak to someone else at the club

Surely we’re not using Tim bloody Sherwood as a mouthpiece to say positive things about the club...

I am truly baffled

 

[HildoSpur]

Imagine if we won the league now.

 

[Hazelton]

I've never been a massive critic of Levy because I think he's done a lot of good for the club, but if Poch ends up leaving because of broken promises and failure to back him, I will have to change my stance. This is very worrying.

Look, I dont post much, but I read a lot here and chuck some money in the pot now and then - I see you post a lot and you have some great views, so I ask you, what did you want/expect?

The player refused or Levy? Fuck i am confused!!!

Herc did suggest he's reluctantly accepting the excuses and pressing on with the football (for now).

He'll give us his best I'm sure.

They knew he was on ‘The debate’ tonight. I don’t even watch that crap. But got a text from a mutual friend, who is very close to Tim, basically ROTFL, with what Tim was told. And some of us know who from?

Player declined!
