Come on lads. Stay positive. We are about to sign a Top 10 forward. Soldado is a Top 10 forward in Europe and he is about to pull on the lily white. This shows we are almost there. Levy and Lewis clearly see that we are a few experienced players away from challenging. That's why we are making these moves. WE WILL NOT SELL BALE. WE WINT TAKE 1 STEP FORWARD & 2 STEPS BACK. Lets focus on the remaining moves to be made. I'm thinking Ade will leave and 1 young forward will come in. Also Hudd, Livermore to move on and one more versatile midfielder to come in. I'm hoping mcCarthy - think he could do a job and if we are rotating Paulinho/Sandro/Dembele/McCarthy/Carroll we will be in good shape. This is going to be a great year COYS

But would they have sold those shirts anyway, with just another players name on?
The only way you could measure it would be through an increase in the amount of shirts sold.

Had another look! On Bloomberg it says that the season after beckham came in real madrids off pitch income increased by 27% where as after Ronaldo it actually dropped although they blame the recession for that but there is also reference to iker casillas shirt sales falling (the leading name before Ronaldo apparently) which would back up that he just took sales that would have happened anyway

I will never forget when levy came to sign me from Roma and we had to travel back on EasyJet flight!! #coys


Mido@midoahm
When we arrived to the airport he asked me to run and I said why..he replied:: to get a good seat...And I couldnt stop laughing! ! #coys
After reading this I think I know why soldado hasn't been announced yet. Levy is making up the big fee by making him take the uerostar :D

Bloody Eurostar?


Levy: I said pedal faster! I just paid €30m for you, I own you!

If Bale goes then he goes. If Soldado signs then he signs.

I genuinely trust the Spurs board and management to get the best value in signings and departures.

The upward curve in fortunes under Levy suggest that we will continue onwards and upwards. With the odd blip I may add.

He fucked us over. You just don't see it because you liked him as a player.

You can believe that he fucked us over if you wish. I don't share your opinion.

Osvaldo Ardiles.


Ardiles joined us 14 years before the formation of the Premier League and his signing was an isolated instance of an English club signing a world star. Nothing like it happened again until Spurs signed Klinsmann. It was only after that the floodgates opened.

Anyway, probably best not to continue this discussion on this thread!

Haha holding the fort....on a part time basis. :)

I can laugh now because it is hilarious we were being run shambolically off the pitch. Pleat was scouting but had nobody to submit the reports to.

People say how professional football is. It truly is not despite all the money.

so have we sold bale yet? Im joking the offer to eat my turd is there if he does leave (BUT HE WILL NOT)

Its funny but i have been trying to convey this for years in here but i'm sure most people dont believe me. It is truly farcical at times.

This time last year was ridiculous and the transfer window was the biggest sham of all time.

Bit better this time however i do hope that the Bale crap in the media doesnt start taking over at the club too, pretty confident it wont.

Haha imagining Daniel Levy and Mido running though the Rome international airport (with Mido trailing behind) is a funny picture. A billionaire businessman and a multi-millionaire professional footballer racing to get good seats on the EasyJet. lol.

Please stop asking people questions all the time. If they have something to say they'll say it.

This is the day we signed Peter Crouch in 09 ..come on how far have we come in such a short time?

The same Crouch that helped us get into the CL in his first full season? We haven't been back there since. If this was the day we signed Gary Doherty in 1999 or whenever, that's the example you should be using ;-)

JJ seems to have rightfully stopped passing on transfer itk for the present time after the same people who beg him for itk then slated him on here after Benteke fell thru.

I have always thought of us as one of the most professionally run prem clubs since levy has been at the helm. Interesting to hear this may not be entirely the case. Although looking at how some of the other prem teams are run, it's not too far stretched to believe that we are one of the more professional clubs, but still a bit of a sham!
