Morning all! Welcome to the last Monday of the Transfer Window!


Oh dear. We're doomed. *Looks sad, gets Ronald McDonald clown outfit out of wardrobe (which excites the mrs until she realises it's not Saturday night) and starts to sing.............To the tune of always look on the bright side of life......

Some Spurs things can be bad
They can really make you mad
The ITK can make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on Spurs gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side with Spurs...
Always look on the light side with Spurs...

If the news seems jolly rotten
There's some info you've forgotten
The ITK can raise hope and make you smile.
If you want to slit your wrist
There's something you have missed
Just take some salt feel better for a while.

And...always look on the bright side of Spurs...
Always look on the light side of Spurs...

When the info seems absurd
And you think that its all turd
You must always face the forum, you know how.
Never forget your salt - smile, don't be so sad right now
Enjoy it - it's the last week anyhow.

So always think that the next signing is big
A player that costs three times more than the sig

The transfer windows shit
When you look at it
Spurs are a laugh and we're a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing with info
Just remember that the next info could be true.

The PL could we win it?
Well, I think we could be innit
We need to sign a top player or two
So lets all tell Danny how, we need to sign them now
He needs to learn that last minute won't do

Annnnnd always look to give Spurs supporters a fright
Never sign a player right up until almost midnight
(Don't haggle over tax.......You won't need a broken fax)
Always look on the right side of Spurs...
Always look on the right side of Spurs...

And always look on the bright side of Spurs...
Always look on the right side of Spurs...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of Spurs...
Always look on the bright side of Spurs...
(It's all given in good faith you know.)
Always look on the bright side of Spurs...
(I mean - Don't shoot the messenger)
(You know, we started off hearing nothing - we're going back to hearing nothing.
What have we lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of Spurs...

Why doesn't Levy just sack AVB and take over from him as a head coach? Seeing he is our new DoF now and he thinks he knows better than the manager what players we need (the cheaper the better).

Remember all the talk how the money is there to be spent and how he will back the new manager? Anyone still believes that?

Let me get back to you on that on Saturday morning.

The reason that money is there is because Levy gets the most from our limited resources. We may not all agree with his policy of sacrificing the the first couple of weeks of the season, but nobody can argue that the squads of the last couple of years have not been the strongest in the PL era.

The only way we will kick start our spending spree again is by selling modric, unless he goes i cant see us doing much more.

That is easy to say, but AVB wants Moutinho and Willian (and seemingly wanted Oscar), but Porto want £32m for Moutinho and Shaktar want 30m euros for Willian. I'm not sure that is a case of Levy just blocking any ideas that AVB has in the transfer market, but clearly there has to be some compromise because those figures are ridiculous.

Levy will back AVB, but it has to be realistic. I'm pretty sure that AVB was brought in for his work on the training ground first and foremost and the signs are already positive that we'll perform well on the pitch.

What a fucking post to start with on monday morning. Jeez. I hope it's not going to be like this all week.

Here's a suggestion. How about waiting until friday night before unleashing all of this pent-up rage? Then this week might just be bearable.

I was hoping for a Mr Brightside themed roundup but this one made up for my unrealistic expectations (akin the expectations and realism with Spurs in the transfer windows :()

We've already played two games though. Are we not allowed to criticise the board/Levy for hampering AVB's start?

But I forgot, in Levy's world the season starts on September 1st. :rolleyes:

For me, the biggest disappointment of the Transfer Window so far was Spursking's abject failure to identify the player in those photos.

15 years spent in training on the top of Mount Kilamanjaro, countless hours spent setting up the moo-moo scouting website and network, god knows how much time spent watching jerky feeds of assorted leagues trawling for African talent to represent and broadening his knowledge of African players not to mention the years spent on SC getting a dogs abuse for it all.

Then, when his moment came, when he could have gained eternal kudos and SC's need was at its greatest what did we get?............"It is difficult to tell"........well that was all worth the wait wasn't it? He choked like Andy Murray in a Grand Slam final.

A sad, sad day.

JJ has already mentioned that AVB himself hasn't been helping things by changing his mind on targets constantly. So it's not all DLs fault.

I've got a feeling that friday night may call for some heavy drinking.

One way or the other, yes... In Finland we normally drink to drown our sorrows - not to celebrate... Here´s hoping we will drink to celebrate! (y)

And, thank you A&C for pointing out that there is a bright side... I had forgotten that... :oops:
