Levy has failed us with his miss-management. It's the same mistakes, window after window.

The only way to salvage it is to get berba back asap on a free.

And to those who say he's not a Poch type player, well, he will be if kane gets injured, Poch will be bloody grateful for a proper striker then.

Berba-stroll will be nowhere near us, let's just put this to bed and blow it's brains out before someone goes and make a thread about it.

The window is over. We're all going to have to get on with our lives.

Completely agree, how the hell do we go from Schniederlin to Wanyama ? its almost like the cm version of those evolution of man posters but in reverse. We start at an intelligent uber cm that does everything well and end up with a pure athlete with massive footballing limitations via Kramer, Rabiot, Kondogbia, Imbula, McCarthy.

I like a few of them but they are pretty big differences with some of them, hard to figure the logic of starting wanting Schniederlin and ending up with Wanyama.
TBF the only players we seemed to make bids for were MS and Wanyama and the correlation there is obvious but concerning in a Redknapp "can I sign Crouchy, Defoe and Niko again" kind of way.

Delete my account when you see this, I don't care.

All these 'ITK's' are complete and utter c**ts.
The genius Goat who has his own section on this forum has literally never got anything right! "Spurs have £40m overdraft at the ready" good one you clown.

The admins of this site shouldn't sanction such bull shit idiots as they get people's hopes up and then the fans get more annoyed as it becomes an expectation cos some Virgin had nothing else better to do than to make up rumours.


Fucking hell :eek: . Are you that fat American guy who is huge on YouTube because he started crying when given the opportunity to ask one of his hero WWE wrestlers a question, and all he could scream in his fat girly squeal, was "it's still real to me dammit" ?

Go eat a Snickers, ya big Wendy :rolleyes:

Can anyone substantiate this myth that our low net spend is resulting in some form of stadium slush fund because I haven't seen any evidence in our financials which aren't showing any form of large cash balance building up ?


Can you substantiate the myth that he hasn't?

If you're having a go at the ITKs at this point, you must be beyond dim.

First, ITKs share what they hear. They are "In The Know" as much as I'm in the know as to what the hell the wife is talking about when she gives me a stern look. None of them are Daniel Levy's shrink to whom he spills his most personal secrets about his daddy issues and transfer plans. If an agent tells Ali Z that Saido has been given a green light by Tony Pulis, then that's certainly ITK, but it's about 1/10 of the whole story which brings me to...

Two, how can anyone not understand how many moving pieces are involved with everything in sports? I can only imagine the people attacking the ITKs are 14 years old with a lemonade stand familiarity with the way any business operates. Saido thinks Saido's leaving. Pulis thinks he's leaving. Levy thinks he's leaving. Poch thinks he's leaving. And if you had ITK connected to each one you still wouldn't have the story straight. Until a player is holding up a Spurs kit, it's all speculation.

Until next window, it's been a blast! COYS

Happens at the end of every summer window at least. People are unhappy.......see an easy mark. Because JJ and Trix will hear their horseshit, because they are fans and come here. Levy never will as he can't reach the keyboard (suck it).

Probably a lot of human nature. Not human nature that a certain testicle derived goat admirer will like.....but human nature nevertheless.

And besides........nobody ever told anybody they had to believe them. You can just decide to ignore their information, if you are so inclined. Rarely is the option they take.

It's as predictable as Levy blaming everybody but himself when things go a bit tits up :sneaky:

Bit glum in here isn't it? What's wrong with you people?

It's almost as if you had completely forgotten that we managed to get no less than 500k sell-on fee for Nathan Byrne when he joined Wolves yesterday? 500k! Imagine!

That Levy's a genius.


What you mean by "misjudging the public mood..."?

It comes down to this...

If Kane & is fit & firing, we will have better season than last given we have improved our defense & also added pace in the wings
If Kane gets injured/loses form, we will finish below last season places. The only caveat here is if one of Son, Njie or Lamela (I know !) could take up the responsibility & drag us to victories.

Looking forward to hearing the club's thought process for its moves and lack thereof, not to seethe, just as I assume there was some logic alongside other clubs treating us like a leper or something to squeeze dry.

Whatever the case, we need to go back to more speculative buys and develop at the U21/Cup level as well as buying either side of the 19-23 bracket. I feel like we're avoiding certain leagues and positions on principle, when it should be a case-by-case basis, and that comes back to our scouting, analytics and how that is communicated to our coaches and management.

If there's talk about how Mitchell's blackbox was ignored due to superstition or worse, wasn't adequately profiling players outside of set competitions, that's real cause for a meltdown.

Two or Three.

Usually, that's the number of people who, at the end of a window think to themselves "oooh it doesn't matter now, the windows closed, I know, nows the time to **** off the ITK's"……..

Two or Three.

Usually, that's the number of people who, at the start of a window send me a PM asking why they lost their access and can they have it back. You abuse ITK and you're out. For good.

Look i am gutted as well..but the fact is that levy cant do anything if wba won't sell berahino...its not as if berahino is happy as well...peace just did not want to sell even when the last offer was straight cash

Regarding the cm...i think we missed a trick..yes we had enquired about wanyama...but our problem is that we enquired a lot...and during the whole window there wasn't even one piece of news suggesting we were in serious discussions with a cm

Time for Pritchard and veljkovic to step up

Couldn't do anything other than try to figure out the business earlier, have a back up plan, and don't sell our only real backup striker (no matter how poor soldado could be ) without complete confidence of replacing him?
