Problem with our underwhelming transfers this window, apart from our frugal nature, is we have too many deadwoods that had to be gotten rid off first before we buy; otherwise we would have too many players for a 25 man slot. Still, not picking up Welbeck at £16M seems scandalous. Perhaps Levy thinks Poch can transform Harry Kane into Danny Graham.

If we have so much deadwood, have Baldini and others done their job properly regardless of manager ins and outs?

Sorry I meant over the last 5 years or so. I think they have one of the bigger spends of the also rans...

Ah ok. They've certainly had their moments - players like Crouch, Owen, Adam don't come cheap but at least they did it after a few years of consolidation and some prize money behind them. Unlike QPR who have spent heavily both times they've won promotion.

The big difference was Pulis who knows what he needs to keep a team in the league, whereas Redknapp and his predecessors apply the scatter gun technique.

This has been clarified by ITK on more than one occasion

So your source of knowledge is drawn from ITK's, how can I possibly argue with that!

Fair point. Amendment made

But it still doesnt support the claim that Redknapp asked for a top level striker and got Saha. On the contrary, Redknapp was offered a top level striker and turned him down.

Well Harry said as much in his book, but that is about as reliable as ITK's

So your point is that I shouldn't make assumptions but you are also making assumptions?

You are saying Redknapp wasn't backed whereas I'm saying that Redknapp was backed and in fact turned down a player who was arguably better than we had. Only difference is that your source of information actually supports my assertion.

They are not the only source of information.
Another are the very managers that people like you claim Levy doesn't back.

Ah the ones that have been sacked and as part of the settlement terms cant talk in detail about their time at Spurs, well they're going to disclose the true facts aren't they. You're obviously one of those people that can be fooled all the time, bless you!

Oh sorry, I didn't realise you were the keeper of all righteous information. Pray do enlighten us with your knowledge?

I await with baited breath :shifty:

Unless you witness something yourself don't assume what you are told is true!

It's a shame you didn't think of that when you wrote this:

"Harry wanted a top striker, he was given Saha (according to Harry)
AVB wanted Moutinho, he got Siggy
Poch wanted Musacchio, he got Fazio
Poch wanted Schneiderlin, he got Stambouli"

Better than taking what ITK's say as gospel

Riiight? :shifty:

So basically you're telling me that you have come to a conclusion based on diddly squat and that I shouldn't make conclusions based on quotes from former managers and information from people closer to the club?

I think I'm done labouring this point, that braincell of yours must be working overtime.

That's plainly one more than you.
Anyone can say they are close to the club to make their information seem more legit, but obviously you are more gullible than most.
Jeez actually i think I've found someone with minus brain cells.

Hahaha, minus brain cells, oh so funny! You should go into comedy :cautious:

The truth is your self contradictory posts indicate a level of intellect that is far below that of the average ape. You say one thing, then the total opposite expecting it to form part of a coherent argument but you actually just show yourself to be absolute moron.

There are different levels of ITK some that are plausible based on proven track records and others that are less so. Your opinion ranks about as highly as the wart on the underbelly of a sewer rat.

No matter, your brain needs the exercise so I will permit your your delusions.

Good day to you sir

Locotoro, well I see where the Loco comes from. I'm not going to continue to argue with you because its a waste of time because obviously while you are on the medication you cant think straight, probably following ITK threads has damaged your minus brain cell (comedy genius so used it again!). Sorry to disappoint, but hey you must get that feeling every time you look between your legs.

Wait a minute.
Harry wasn't backed?
Bale (left back haha) Modric, VDV and Ade,
Suarez, Tim and Les saying not for us, employed by Harry.
These players weren't from our academy.
Did they just appear?
