I don't get the fuss about Gomes, I really don't and before anyone tries the "Oh, but he plays for Barcelona so he must be awesome" - Paulinho plays for Barca and he was on a par with Sissoko as a total and utter waste of space.

Levy has a history of hijacking. Surprised he can travel in America.

Craig Bellamy was on the debate last night talking about our deadline day move for him and he was in a medical with Liverpool and had to leave to go across the road for talks on the phone with Levy, who offered him exactly the same money and waived the need for a medical (back when Levy had flowing locks:cautious:)

But Bellamy as a Dippers fan couldn't say no. Seems to love Levy/Poch and Spurs though.

Bellamy used to claim to be a Spurs fan. Not sure when that changed.

I mean really man, did you not see this coming for a few weeks? As soon as there wasn't movement shortly after the world cup the writing was on the wall.
Nah, not really mate, I try to remain as pragmatic about things with as best a balanced view until it's time. I don't live with my head in the sand either pretending everything is fine. I had my doubts about two weeks ago, but instead of going off the deep end kept my powder and views dry right up until almost last night.

I still think Gomes is okay, but didn't think he'd be the choice considering the other names mentioned etc.

I think it's a colossal failure if I am honest. I didn't expect 5 signings all topping in excess of £50million quid but I did expect at least one signing in a position of need being made and making some kind of statement to all those involved at Spurs.

Gomes wouldn't have been that btw just to make sure people know that's not what I am on about.

Well he did say he has a lot of love for the club but that he was a Liverpool fan.

Maybe it was a second club scenario or two sides of his family supporting two different clubs. Loads of Welsh support the Dippers though.

I'd love to know how we got to 10am (Breezer's post) before seemingly hitting panic stations. Surely the club would have forseen this possibility?

I'm imagine a scene at the Spurs transfer HQ.

And it looks pretty similar to removing a paving slab that's been sitting in your garden for years...

Don't have any money.. Or at least won't spend any.
Im sure your right, although i reckon we have x amount of money tied up if Martial becomes available for, say, 5 quid. Still Fekir would be such a good move for us right now.

If we don't sign anyone I won't be happy but if we sign Andre Gomes i'll be absolutely livid :mad:. There's a reason Barca are so desperate to get rid.

Going to need somebody when Dembele is crocked in April and Winks has been on the injury list for 4 months at that point.
