Unless you have been stationed on Mars for the past couple of years, Then you would of noticed that ever since we ditched our ill fated director of football approach that our transfer activity has slowly grinded to a cumbersome and somewhat frustrating halt, It seems gone are the day`s where we were snapping up young players like Modric before the window had opened and now we wait with anxiety till the end of the transfer window to see who Mr levy has snarled for 2 bob, Fuelled on by his capture of VDV for a small and tidy sum.
It used to be spend,spend and more spend, I remember thinking "where is all this dough coming from?" Now it seems as if the well has dried up and one has to wonder if we really have a pot to piss in (do we Mr Levy?). When AVB comes out and say`s that basically the Modric money is going on a striker and seemingly nowt else it makes me feel a little crushed. I mean if we knew that we did not have money then it`s a case of oh well it is what it is, But Levy is parading us around like we have a few bob, Comments like "We don`t need to sell our star players" And Modric aint for sale for any money (unless you are Real Madrid and you want to give me £26 million plus add on`s).
Imo I doubt very much if we have money available to give Avb so he can make this team his own. In all our recent manager changes they have all been given money to build the squad, With the exception of Jol who had players bought for him, But the point remains that money was given to improve the squad, Juande had it and so did Harry and yet here we are into the new season and once again we are poorly prepared and once again a first day defeat. I know I am being a little pre-emptive here as we still have 2 weeks before the window shuts, But who really thinks that we will get Leandro,Ade,Mouts,Lloris or even Llorente?? I think we will secure the signing of Ade and that will be it and we would of given our most talented manager fuck all to work with money wise!! How very Tottenham Hotspur of us....One step fwd and a big leap back!
This was supposed to be the season that we grew up and really put our cards on the table and showed that we were moving away from Harry and his triffic 4-4-2 and what do we do give the job to someone who has a point to prove and a manager who could really take us somewhere and then we tie his hands behind his back....Come on Levy prove me wrong....Please!!
