He was tapped up by Liverpool who had to make a fairly large donation to the Tottenham Foundation to persuade Levy to not proceed with his official complaint. We did not give them all of their money back, as he was obviously damaged by the experience of being a Liverpool player

It was funny mugging Liverpool for £20m for him, but you wummed yourselves by buying him back though.

Was even better...we sold him for £20m and bought him back for £12m just six months later.
He did well for us for about another 10 months then pissed Harry off by taking the team to get pissed in Dublin so he was out on his arse.

Him and Berbatov were brilliant together and a lot less effective apart.

He was utter ****e when you bought him back. You basically mugged off Liverpool, then gave them the bulk of their money back for a player who was shot.

If you understood football, which you dont because i suspect you got no lekky in your cave, anyway...you would understand that a player who is disruptive with his mentality, refusing to play and all in all causing a negative atmosphere at the club, much to the detriment of the whole..then that player is not needed by our club...his talents maybe...but hes not a Spurs fan...he always wanted to play for Madrid..just like Ronaldo wanted to play for Madrid..a bigger and more successful club like United could not keep him..United would love to have Ronaldo for the whole of his career...their fans crave him even now.

Whats your point? apart from none of them wanted to join the giants that are Chelsea <laugh>

He only 'cashes in', as you call it, when he's given no other option by a key player demanding a transfer.

I'm well aware, as I'm sure are the club, that top players want to be at a top club. We're currently 2nd in the league, after finishing third last year. So short of going abroad, where would you go?

There's a world class stadium coming. The stated ambition is to build a world class team to go with it. Selling our best players doesn't fit wit that aim. As Mp and Levy have just restated.

World class stadium means eff all, as Arsenal have proved.

Spurs are the new wannabe Arsenal. Poch the new wannabe Wenger.... "we played better and lost .... it is not fair :emoticon-0106-cryin

Ok honest question, hypothetically you are Ali it's now your second season at Spurs but you have nothing to show for your endeavours but allegedly Real are offering your agent £200,000 a week over double what you're earning and a promise of winning a UCL medal/s and catapulting you to the pinnacle of your career. What would you do?

Probably what you were saying last year,
watching Chelsea lose from your little portable in the cave.

'It's not fair, we spent hundreds of millions and we're nowhere. <wah>

I'm hiding for the rest of the season <laugh>

I was offered a significant amount of money to switch companies years ago, but preferred to stay with the one I was with as the future with them looked better. Ultimately it was the right decision, as someone else I knew took up the offer and his career went down the pan.

So Spuds future is better than Real's <laugh> that's a first.
 
If Alli has decent advisors/agent, then they'd be telling him to stick with Spurs for another 2 years. If he's good enough, the bigger teams will still want him then. If he moves now, it will be for big money and that will put pressure on him to hit the ground running. If he's enjoying his football with Spurs - which he is - why not stick around for a couple of years!

I guess the big problem with Spurs is how the new stadium affects their finances. Will it hinder the ability to strengthen the squad (like was Arsenal's excuse for some many years). They have a great first team but pretty thin after that. If they don't have the financial backing to be competing on 2 or 3 fronts each season, it will make these players look elsewhere to teams who can!
