Why is a eastenders character trying to get us to buy a player?
Because we are being fattened to sell.
Did Paul Mitchell leave on bad terms?
Apparently.
So let’s get this straight, the collective ITKs are saying:
- very young players don’t think they’ll get in our side
- quite young good players would rather move to better teams who are already challenging
- championship players are over priced
- bridges have been burnt with former employees
- bridges were never built with agents
- established players are too expensive
- and we have no money anyway
Hmmm. I guess we must be the only team in the world to who this aggregation of issues applies, and this therefore explains why everyone else has been able to strengthen their squad while we just paper over the cracks.
We’ve had a golden generation of players, spearheaded by one that came through our youth team (how often will one of the worlds best strikers come through our youth team and commit?), but whether the log jam is Poch being picky, Levy (whether through a lack of cash because he won’t play the game with agents) or a mixture, but we’re heading into the summer with the very real possibility of losing not only Dembele (who was the heartbeat not long ago) but Eriksen, Toby and possibly the manager.
We’ve been standing still for a long time now, and I think the impact of that, with others strengthening, is going to become very real in the next 12 to 18 months.
We may just creep over the line and get in the top 4 this year, but who thinks the summer will be anything other than the usual nonsense?
The ITK is exactly how it’s always been - indicative of lots of goodwill and effort (at least on the face of it) but a total lack of ability to convert
I’m sceptical on the goodwill.Apparently.

He also said: “Poch press conference yesterday ? Tottenham are working on 'a few options' in the transfer market, Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed ?” as per @Colonel Dax in the rabiot threadSo the latest for JJ means we have gone from Rabiot, Isco, Werner and AN Other to no one likely....Got to love transfer window

I'd love to know, how the fucking fuck we are skint
Ground hog shit dayIronic that as the latest Deloitte football rich list is released showing us in the top 10 in world football that when it comes to spending on players we behave like Accrington Stanley. Spurs transfer windows are now like Groundhog Day.
I am still hereIt's amazing how so many pro BsoDL posters have gone missing isn't it?
