To the tune of We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel. Shout out to Nailsy and Freund for the inspiration.

We Didn't Sign a Striker by the Spur Faithful

Difficult to get deals done
Un-realistic... bald chairman
Dodgy exchange rates and deadwood
Homegrown, long loan, fees for agents
Brexit's looming, rising taxes
bidding wars and broken faxes
Benteke, let's take a gamble
Didn't learn from Frasier Campbell

We didn't sign a striker.... and we're never learning

Rather than clog up the Piatek thread with further revisions, this is what I've got so far in conjunction with @Clive Wilson's idea:

We didn’t sign a striker
And we’re gonna need one
TIL the end of season
We didn’t sign a striker
Daniel Levy’s grinning
But the team’s not winning

Harry Redknapp in his car signing Nelsen and Saha, Frazier Campbell on a loan Soldado up front on his own, Rasiak the circus clown Rivaldo writes to turn us down, Mido’s love of balti pies we are Tottenham watch us rise, Eric Dier falling ill does Sheringham play football still?

We didn’t sign a striker
And we’re gonna need one
TIL the end of season
We didn’t sign a striker
Watching Spurs is boring
Cos we’re never scoring

We tried...

Add/Subtract etc for something more complete.

I love the We Didn't Sign A Striker/Billy Joel ideas. Would love to hear them sang at "The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium" on Wednesday.

I'd change the "We are Tottenham watch us rise..." line to "Pavlyuchenko fucking tries..." personally. More so because I fucking love Super Pav and he deserves to be name checked here.

We changed "the best in the world he's names Giovanni Lo Celsooooo" to "the best in the world Giovanni lo celsooo"......basically got rid of the 'he's names' to make it work

Tbf they took it from river plate like every other Chant is taken from somewhere


Yeah I was aware that it was originally sung by River (love that video), but Liverpool did kind of change the whole song, including language. That’s what I was getting at. No shame in ripping off a tune and the base of as song, as you’ve said everyone does it, but to literally just change the name is pretty lame.

Did they change it? I know it’s been knocking round the lower leagues for about a year ( MKdons who I watch sing it ).

Any it’s a huge step up from “oh Gio Lo Celso” so I’m all in

As much as I love that chant, there is something abit cringey singing it after Liverpool have claimed it.

I have no issue is nicking chants (as we arnt very good at them) but I feel like they should just be nicked from abroad.
