    You have to have bigger aspirations than finishing above Liverpool surely?

    Sours are the new Arsenal: stadium debt, nice football, top 4 is a success, no trophies

    I didn't think about that but yes I suppose you are right.

    At least Arsenal had aspirations for a while though.

    Spurs seem to have a lack of ambition and a small club mentality which is why you'll always find them comparing their performance to other teams in the league who also didn't win the league and deeming that a success rather than looking above them.

    Contempt with average and will defend it to the death rather than questioning what needs to be done to improve.

    Didn't you know that it's the equivalent of winning the world cup these days.

    Spurs fans haven't had the luxury of playing for trophies over the last 15-20 years like other clubs have, so this is winning. They ain't gonna be depressed finishing 3rd, when most of them are used to scrapping for a top half finish and relegation dogfights.

    We just have different expectations.

    Fair point Tel, but I think they could do with a Carling or FA cup thrown in with top 3

    They need something to show for all the goals and Dele's best dives for sure.

  11. Levy has said that he is “100% certain” (his very words) that we will be keeping every player we want to stay in the club.

    I expect both Eriksen and Kane to stay.

    The others you mention, I don’t know whether or not they remain in Poch’s plans.

    You do know that this statement has a glaring loophole for Levy to exploit if he wants to sell any of his players.

    All he has to say is 'We don't want a player who doesn't want to be here', and hey presto, you don't want them to stay at the club and you can sell them.

  13. That sounds fine in principle, but can’t work in practice.

    No top Prem side would get rid of players like Kane, Eriksen, Alli, Lloris, Vertoghen, Davinson, Moura, Son, etc. Therefore, Levy won’t be able to get rid of them.

    Also, contrary to the crap that is uttered by the wums on this board, Levy never willingly sells his best players.

    Mate you've sold your best players bare times, two of them are playing at Real Madrid.

    The word 'willingly' is just bollocks that Spurs fans chew up when discussing this subject, he sold them and he didn't have to.

  16. A top quality creative mid, a defender to replace Alderweireld, an enforcer to replace Dembele, and a quality striker with pace to counterbalance Kane.

    No, they want to leave because Poncetto is not in their plans. <ok>

    Apart from Bale, Modric & Berbatov. <laugh>

  19. Anyone who knows Levy - and most adult Spurs fans do - knows that he will not sell any top player unless that player puts in a transfer request.

    Even then, he will do his level best to ensure they don’t go to a potential rival. Hence the bitterness over players like Campbell and Berbatov.

    With players of the calibre of Modric and Bale, he ensured they went abroad.

    If none of our top players put in a transfer request, they’ll not be sold.

  20. Please do go away, Skiddy.

    The adults are having a sensible conversation about footy.

    There is nothing for you here.
