It's been mixed. We've done well in the league but haven't won anything. We've avoided spending £75m for that bloke from Mary Poppins though, so it's not all bad.
Oh no. You may be secret Arsenal fans up there.Didn't the Liverpool chairman take back handers from Arsenal to vote them into Div 1. Are you still bent?
Back to the £££ again i see, funny you guys keep going back to how little you spend yet admit its gained you nowt if a 75m player makes us a better team that is capable of genuinely winning things whats the problem?
It hasn't "gained us nowt". Huddersfield didn't win anything last season, but they're in the top-flight. Should they have not bothered? If a £75m makes you better, then that's great. It's still to be seen if he will and if he'll justify that large chunk of your resources. People can appreciate a good deal, like the one you got for Spurs trainee Nathaniel Clyne or the left-back you've been leaving out, Andrew Robertson. They can also believe that you've spent a ****load on van Dijk and doubt whether he'll live up to the fee. Time will tell. You could buy him and still not win anything. Would that mean that you've gained nowt?
They have been very defensive these Mousers over the last 24 hours or so, I think they all know they`ve massively over spent on Van Dyke and are at risk of immense ridicule if he flops.
Nah we just think it's silly tbh, and if anything haigs claim that kane is better than messi and ronaldo has taken the heat off the van dick deal. Good old haig
Yes this exactly, if he doesn't improve us and gain Silverware we would have gained nowt. Ultimately that's what football is about for most clubs but not spurs apparently.
Well he earned a wage out if it. If that's success for you then so be it. I'm sure he would've loved a few medals though. Here's a question for you, keep Kane and win nothing until he retires as a one club man or sell Kane and win some silverware? What would you prefer?
So anyone that wins a trophy is a success and anyone that doesn't shouldn't have bothered? What a bizarre view of football. Djimi Traore? Brilliant! Matt le Tissier? Giuseppe Signori? Stuart Pearce? Antonio Di Natale? Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink? Tom Finney? ****. What's with the pointless hypothetical? Keep Kane and win trophies, ta.
I think you're confused about what I'm saying here, on an individual level yes **** players win things better players don't sometimes. I'm talking about a club level here, if you win nothing as a club you of course gain nothing. Which is why I asked you the question. A lot of spuds come across like they don't think winning things is important as long as they don't pay silly wages and pay silly fees. Small club mentality imho, grabbing at any accolade available through lack of genuine success. Like the kid who's **** at something but always has an excuse instead of just admitting he's ****.
Why's that? playing some of the best attacking football we've seen for years, and now we have van dick we probably won't concede a goal for about 4years
We don't want to pay silly wages and silly fees because we don't want to go the way of Leeds or Portsmouth. Even Villa are a lesser example, who overspent for a bit and it put them into a tailspin for years. Small club mentality would be clinging onto one trophy win, despite having the resources to win more. You're happy with buying any old ****e for any amount, as long as you get a temporary buzz. Wigan won a trophy. Birmingham won a trophy. I'd rather not trade places with them. Would you?
Attacking football is irrelevant. Trophies are everything, apparently. Who knew Mourinho was a Scouser? Barry Van Dyke can't play against Leicester, by the way, so that four years might have to start after that game.
My first thought was, would I swap Alderweireld, Vertonghen, or even Sanchez for Van Dick. No, I wouldn’t.
I struggle to comprehend how anyone other than a United, Chelsea or City fan could be making this argument. Yourselves and Arsenal have very, very little to show in the past decade for all the guff about the importance of spending loads of cash. Swansea and Birmingham have won as many major trophies as you in the past 10 years. Wigan have gone one further with an FA Cup victory against a far better team than Cardiff. Does that make them better than you? Arsenal? Us? Of course it doesn't. Bottom line is, no we definitely haven't won enough trophies in recent years and that is inexcusable. But being lectured to on the subject by anyone who doesn't support one of the 3 teams mentioned above is frankly farcical.
