Levy will definitely feel a rise if he doesn't sign someone A&C will be using his ban stick right up his kibber for making SC hell for 3 ½ months

Ali Z:

Personal opinion but I feel we have made a huge mess of this window all be it with some things going against us. If we have any incomings they will be HG, that limits us hugely in what we can bring in, we were expecting Toby, Dembele, GNK, Sissoko,Jansen and LLorente to attract interest and fully expected 4/5 of them out, the first two seemed to price themselves out of the market, whilst any potential suitors are waiting till our window closes to get there bargains, still think we will get 1/2 in and that a few will go, probably after our window closes.

Problem should be sorted going forward ad Dembele and LLorente have 1 year left on deals and Toby will almost certainly go sooner or later.



This is going to be part of the problem, I expect - we can plan to sell players, but we can't plan whether they make it easier or not.

Would we really turn down Martial or AN Other non-HG because we haven’t shifted Jansen or N’Koudou before our window shuts?

Does this mean we’re only buying from Prem/Championship? Even if we get rid of non HG?

Then selling Rose will compound our problem. Madness.

If they're shit and we don't need them anymore and they are preventing us from bringing in just flog them. Dembele should be gone now, should have gone to China and the others will clearly generate interest before the window closes, even if they leave on loan.

Levy needs to act, he cannot hide behind the excuse that we will have too many players in the squad. Those players listed are either shit or their contracts are expiring, bite the bullet or write off a good season this time around

The problem is, they need to agree with them - Ali Z seems to be of the opinion that the players aren't accepting the moves. I'm not sure exactly what we're expected to do as a club.

Thanks a lot for the info.

Everyone here(well almost everyone ;-) ) acknowledges that transfers are complex at the best of times hence ITK should be taken for what it is at the time its published. However I will be astonished if we don't make a marquee signing prior to the transfer window closes bearing in mind the once in a lifetime opportunity that the new stadium brings in PR terms if nothing else. To go in to with no naming rights is one thing but to go in with little or no transfer activity will certainly be major surprise and I am being polite.

It's hard to buy this HG nonsense when we're not willing to deal for Zaha but happy to sell Rose. Me thinks the club is making excuses for a terrible window.

Been saying this all along. If it's purely about squad places and not money then what's the issue in loaning them out. I'm afraid we will have to take financial hits to get these players off the wage bill.

What the hell must Pooch be thinking? He is the one who says, Stay....Go. He turns up for training and they are still here. There could wellbe a breakdown in the relationship between Pooch and DL.

Stick them in the reserves then. Janssen, GKN, Sissoko, Llorente won't be starting games or even be on the bench if we have a fully fit squad and will soon look to leave if they are playing all their matches wearing luminous bibs all the time.

I'm sorry but we're Tottenham Hotspur! Are you seriously telling me that we are letting scruffy shit like GKN, Janssen & Llorente prevent us from buying in what already is a very niche market for us? This window is turning into an absolute joke, new Stadium or not!

If you want to be a big boy club Levy, act like a big boy Chairman and back your club!
