Lets lay off the Boyo. He may come back to us in a few years when he gets tired of rotating the left wing position with Di Maria.

Should have thought about that before he started acting like a Petulant **** then shouldn't he.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Ohhhhhhhhh!

Ohhhhhhh Levy!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Levy! You funny bastard!

He's doing Jim White for the fuck up over Moutinho last year by ensuring there is fuck all to report on TDL as Spurs have bought everyone so White ends up sitting there, bored as sin, trying not to get caught looking at tits.

I don't know how he does it. I reckon he's got to be a ventriloquist's dummy or something. It is impossible to sit there reading the sports news without constantly having a quick gander at Nat's norks. If I had that gig i'd be constantly caught on camera having a sneaky benny hill style smirk and/or strumming her across the desk when they came back from a commercial break.

St Riker

Ryker was the first officer in Star Trek TNG, bearded like AVB
Levy bears a resemblance to Jean Luc Pickard, the ships captain
Wharf, the war mongering Klingon is Sandro.
Holtby is blatantly Wesley Crusher.

I can only assume that the new training centre is a space ship and at the end of the window it's going to take off and Spurs are going to explore the universe. With the way this window is going it wouldn't surprise me.

The lovely thing is that this is the first summer window in a while where we aren't going into deadline day feeling discontent with the squad. I really want Coentrao and others are in but if it doesn't happen it's not the end of the world.

Baldini has really shown his worth this window but full credit to Levy for putting his faith in him. Who said an old dog couldn't learn new tricks.

Theres still time, I remember last week not caring if Bale left to being livid after Willian gate

Wesley Crusher, what a turd.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

When i first mentioned lennon could be off alot of people said it surely wouldnt be the case! Now with the new signing of lamela and Erik, and young Townsend stepping up does he really have a place? He wont be happy to sit on the bench

** hides as noone notices i said Eriksen is signed (aka done) **

Nobody noticed because you never said that .. Naming the same player twice is what you did young man

Its not about new tricks, its about the timing. He was always for this module.

The thing now he has backed his manager and the pressure is now on to AVB to deliver so that Levy can concentrate on phase 2, completing the stadium to facilitate our Champions League aspirations.

Hi guys, my donations are now up to date, £20 for Lamela, Parker, Huddlestone and Livermore (Even thought it was just a loan).

If I could ask if any of you could have my little 14 year old Yid cousin Callum in their thoughts I would really appreciate it. He fell 15ft out of a tree after a branch snapped and is fighting for his life with head trauma and a broken back.

Don't mean to bring the mood down but really puts football in perspective.

COYS!!

Really sorry to hear that mate, our thoughts are with him. He'll get through this, you know it.

Had a text from my da this morning, my brother taken into hospital (back in Ireland), minor heart attack, 42 years old, thankfully he's ok, I text him to let him know I'm thinking of him and he replied with COYS and a big fcuk off smiley face ha ha ha! Xxx

 

[klinnical]

INS:
Soldado - £26m
Lamela - £26m
Capoue - £9m
Chadli - £7m
Chiriches - £7m
Paulinho - £17m
Eriksen - £11m
GRAND TOTAL: £103m

OUTS:
Caulker - £9m
Dempsey - £6m
Huddlestone - £5m
Parker - £2m
Bale - £80m(?)
Gallas - £0
Bentley - £0
GRAND TOTAL: £102m

So whatever we spend from now is basically our budget.

What, only a million more than Wenger, GTFOH

 

[THFCSPURS19]

The best bit is that as Eriksen will almost definitely sign tomorrow, and with the expectation that we will sign even more players, we will probably have some sort of developments/interests reported/bids for players tomorrow- whether they have been linked with us before or not.
I am so happy.

Hope we pull it out of the bag on Sunday just for him!


EDIT: And MBY's cousin. Get well soon, and stay strong!

Praying for your cousin Callum...by God's grace and mercy that he be well.
Stay strong...

Presumably Joe Lewis is Q - all seeing all powerful and you don't hear off him often but he when he does, he makes his presence known!

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! Your cousin will be in our thoughts.

 

[Ossie85]

I don't know if it's been posted already, but Hulk is a striker, who plays for Zenit St. Petersbourg

 

[rawhide]

ITK or onion?

 

[Benny Boy]

Ok a further update:

Eriksson trained today.

Yidoooooooo

Thanks for the info Breezer! (Sorry still on page 31 but catching up!) hopefully I will get to to see the sparkly stoof stamp showing a record deal for Lamela!?

In regards to the LB situation, the match against Arsenal couldn't come at a better time for Danny Rose and us. He's been our first-choice LB and you'd tend to think he was finding some form as a result. I think for the most part he's been very good, but if we're honest he hasn't been challenged hardly at all.

Arsenal present a big test for him, especially with Walcott on the right. It's one of the things I'm most interested in seeing this weekend and honestly my biggest question mark about him (positional sense and letting guys get in behind him).

If he has major struggles, it may lead us to really put a full-court press on a LB target as we won't want our season to be derailed due to a LB that can't be trusted in defense.

I said this to a mate earlier, he informed me that, whilst at Sunderland last year, they played Arseanal, Walcott scored 1 and had 5 shots at goal. At the time I found that quite concerning, then I remembered that, whilst at Sunderland, he wasn't being protected/shielded by the likes of Capoue, Paulinho, Sandro, Dembele. He didn't have the hardworking & extremely strong Chadli in front of him either.

I personally think that Rose will be fine with Walcott. There's also the added bonus that he's one of few full-backs that is actually (probably?) able to eliminate the prospect of Walcott knocking the ball past him & simply skinning him for pace down the line. I'd imagine AVB is also concerned as little as I am, hence Rose not featuring last night?

EDIT: Also, if memory serves me correctly, Rose's last North London derby went pretty well?
