Didn’t have to even click on the link to know who the culprit and what the crime was. What a moron. Get rid

Clive Allen birthday today. What an absolute legend. He scored 49 goals in the 86/87 season. First season i started supporting the best team in the world.

Haven’t been posting much. Not sure what’s going to happen this season. On the one hand we have our players back but on the other I don’t want it to effect next season. Was offering opinions in the Premier League thread of possible outcome but the toxicity there is unbearable. One guy even called my professional expertise into question based on a throwaway comment. Can’t wait until we are banging 5 or 6 past every team.

Looking forward to the banter back here too.

you have to look and see the culture of the club and it's aims also

if we accept that spurs are a club that buys players to develop them into superstars and makes a mint selling them when it works out, with the football results ancillary to this, lovely.

i seem to recall many ppl not wanting this

and it also rests on your coaching and selection staff actually *improving* these players, a whole nother ballgame

theres a reason these director of football superstars always seem to work best at middling clubs, that roster above isnt much good to monaco is it?

That's Enic mantra ….. Buy small, Sell big.

Interesting though that Jose (seemingly) wants Campos on board.
Jose's mantra is usually big Big names, not develop potential …

Glebee · 21-05-2020 3:58pm

It will be interesting to see if the season does come back what Spurs will show up. Should be picking from a full squad. Seems to be the case that it will return. Just shows its all about the money at the end of the day.

yeah, its an interesting one

but grading a football director on his successes is like grading a player on his youtube reel

Come off it Ormus, any person under the age of 12 that picks a particular team does so with at a reasonable expectation that the team will have at least some on field success and the trophies to show for it.

Aside from kids who simply follow the same team olas their dad/guardian, what 8-12 year old honestly picks a team because of their style of play or club history.

Look each to their own Donkey, I started supporting Spurs cos I loved watching Gazza and Waddle play, simple as that.

I don’t totally get the trophies thing. Don’t get me wrong I’d love for us to win the league or Champions League, or to a lesser extent the FA Cup, but it’s not the be all and end all for me. It’s not like I get the trophy myself or anything.

For me I’ve really enjoyed most of the last twelve years or so under Harry and Poch, watching exciting Spurs sides playing well against big teams.

Fair enough Greenspurs said he started supporting Spurs after they won the FA Cup twice in a row, but anyone who started supporting Spurs from the late 80s onwards because they wanted to support a successful team needs their head examined.

2nd Row Donkey · 23-05-2020 7:20pm

Anyone watching the thing on TV with Harry Redknapp managing ex pros from the 90s taking on the French national team (vets)... Its the second season, last year they beat the Germans but I never heard of the programme till now. Harry's legends it's called...

greenspurs · 28-05-2020 11:46am

Happy Birthday to one of our greatest …… ( belated... but any excuse to watch "that" against "them"

)

Paul Gascoigne !!

So, it seems a person close to the Spurs camp/team has been confirmed positive for Covid 19, might not be a player but knowling our luck its Kane who will be out..:D:D

Some funny comments on social media...

Only positive thing for Spurs in 20 years...
Its not Lloris , he cant catch anything .
Harry Kane has claimed it
More positive tests than trophies
Odd for Spurs to get a positive result
NDombele - he'll do anything to not play
Its ok - they never get nearer the opposition players anyway
They can self isolate in the trophy room - theres nothing else in there

Its not supposed to be a 1st Team - key player ?

Could be anybody.. Did I see something about some players being injured and might not be available for the first match back??:eek:

A look at this thread on twitter would give some indication of why Spurs may need working capital over the next year.

https://twitter.com/SwissRamble/status/1245594256841924619

- Protect against needing to sell players which has raised a lot of money in the past.
- TV Revenue will be down on last season
- Match day income will be down on last season
- Income from the stadium's use for other events will be curtailed
- Wages are up over 30million, Poch will have been paid off and Jose will be on good money.
- May not be able to sell naming rights for the stadium in current climate
- A failure to qualify for Champions League next season or a reduced European season will have a huge impact - see Spurs €102million income for Final of Champions League compared to Arsenals €39million for Europa League Final.

Also from their accounts almost 70 million is due (since the last accounts) on loans for the stadium (after the restructuring of debt), 33million is due on players already bought.

Ah Jasus, thats just horrible.

2 friendlies coming up .

Norwich , and then Reading.

Hopefully all goes well, and no injuries.

Ormus · 12-06-2020 12:10am

Anyone excited about Ryan Fraser maybe joining us for free? I’m not

12-06-2020 1:19am

hes a premier league performer, decent age, no fee, wages wont be huge.

this squad is not deep and its not too many of them have actually performed the past while. as backup/competition hes certainly not a bad option.

ive no problem with the signing

not going to get the fans going, but id say all our business this summer is going to be free transfers

2nd Row Donkey · 12-06-2020 7:28am

I guess Fraser made it clear to Bournemouth that he wasn't going to sign a new contract and was going to leave on a free as he hasn't played much this season but the previous season he had 12 assists in an average team so there's potential.

Could see Jose deploying him in a similar role to how he used Willan and Pedro in his last stint at Chelsea. You wouldn't exactly build your team around them but important players non the less.

Ormus · 12-06-2020 8:32am

For me he’s a player who at the age of 26 has only had one good full season and then decided to run down his contract.

He’ll warm the bench on massive wages. Even at his best he’d barely make our team and he hasn’t been at his best this season.

I think we’ll sign him
