Levy " see Joe I told you I was right pochs the man for us were getting closer" Lewis " yeah but not close enough danny my boy and really is he that good?" Daniel " Joe he's the bees knees what more can I say" Lewis " ok danny ok listen; if he's that good we better cash in while the birds are laying in wait" Daniel " ok Joe ok bottom line it is ill get those 5 year contracts signed and start listening to offers" Lewis " good boy and if he's that good he can do without Alli if Madrid come up with 75m and lets cash in on dier for 40m and lets see how good this argie really is" So you THFC fans go into the new season at Wembley minus 2 of your core group. How you feel about that? Serious question. Money would have to be more for either of those players. Its really all about how you replace them in the first place and in any case a year later both will likely be worth even more so pointless to sell. We are very fortunate in that regard. Carry on speculating. I think Walker to City for £35m is nailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other deal I am currently working at present and realistically 40m + isco might do the trick so i'll keep you updated. He aint worth 75m cash yet I don't think. He's very very good but his petulance could get him into bother if he can't contain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have a team as good as Spurs right now you want to be adding maybe one or two players max, not selling your best players when you are clearly so close to a Championship winning team. Could it happen? Anything can in football, its a mad mad game lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was an agent and wanting a pay off I'd be looking at interviews like pochs for telegraph regards dier and playing on that. Next thing you know diers talking to allI, alli's thinking; United for you eh ok gotta outdo the jones's I'm San Miguelling it all the way to Madrid beat that next thing you know harry kane finds out his grandad was born in Berlin and munich break the world record and bring him in for 130m.

Too many of them under perform during the colder months. Really? Suarez, Ronaldo, Zola, Aguerro.... I could go on. Germans playing in the Prem are no great shakes. Look at Liverpool's defence.

Look at Liverpool's defence. Suso, barragan, aspas, manquillo, Enrique,ayala, riera, etc etc and that's just off my head at liverpool and we fared well with the armada. Germans are few and far between but: Klinsmann, mertesacker, hitzlsperger, haaman, babel, ziege, schweinsteiger, Ballack, volz, Holtby schurrle.lehmann boater gnabry. Just seems like a lot of crap comes with a few diamonds from the Latin leagues and man for man the Germans and surrounding countries are better value.

carmine Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I think we were a little lethargic last night as the commentator put it. Coupled with that when we play the derby at Pikey Stadium its always their cup final and celebrated as such if they win. Just wasn't our night, nothing Spurs about that. We've been getting used to swotting teams aside and tonight it wasn't to be. Still, ten on the bounce is an impressive run, keeping the pressure on a side nailed on to win the title for months. See this crap talk about all our players being off still carries on..........Christ its boring but what can you expect from a clueless media?

However we have managed to maintain an element of interest for the neutral otherwise the title would have been completely wrapped up months ago. But, he's the thing, at least we gave it a really good go rather than Man United, with the 150m spent and your pathetic challenge for the title that never even got started. It was an embarrassment. And at least we've provided football fans with some entertainment rather than the turgid crap handed out by United week in week out, and then, to add insult to injury we are subjected to that pig eyed little shit of a manager whinging and sniping his way through the post match interview like ten year thats had hid toys half inched.

Look through this thread and you wil see we all hoped for CL qualification at best. The only guy at Spurs who aimed for the title is Pochettino and yes he will be fuming this morning. Glad I'm not at training next week lol, be nice to watch the backlash from the players though. Could be carnage for your carthorses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry on buddy. Spurs did bottle it and there's no historical about it your in the mix proper for the first time this last 2 and both times you bottled it against neighbouring clubs too. Absolutely bottled it. They were all finals and you lost two including the fa cup match so no matter how you look at. It was bottled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its not that bad is it? We just need to beat Man Yoo at the Lane to take second spot for sure and if the chavs suffer a very surprising defeat on Monday we will continue chasing them.
