Rival watch

Fair enough, I thought signings were down to levy tbh?

Agree that leaving talk before the game was odd. I wouldn't like it either

 

Couldn't give a **** tbh.

Not my manager any more and not my club. As long as Chelsea don't win it I'm not really arsed who does.

 

And city for me.

Even take utd winning one over any of them

 

He wanted very specific players and wouldn't accept anyone else, apparently.
Might be an option now that he's at PSG, but it's not very realistic anywhere else.

 

Three man committee between Levy, Poch (now Jose) and Hitchen, mate.

Though if you ask most Spurs fans, we'd rather Levy lay off of the transfer side of things, whilst Hitchen should be replaced by a proper DoF.

 

I'd be very surprised if Utd win it tbh. They're a Fernandes injury away from being mediocre.

Think Bayern or City are the teams to beat.

 

Well yeah he's basically got a blank chequebook there eh.

Has to win the cl to call his time there a real achievement imho. Anything he wins in France domestically don't mean squat.

 

Racist.

 

You think it's an ego thing with levy wanting to have an involved role or just loves the club and wants to be involved lots?

Ive seen loads in here say he should step aside when it comes to that kinda thing.

Different things work for different management teams I guess, the Liverpool committee under Rodgers was laughed at in the end, but some good players were brought in under them, and some proper fukin howlers, but what we have now under Edwards and his scouts isn't so different and klopps thrived under it so far overall.

Just finding the right mix of all things at the same time is the game changer eh

 

Can you not tell everyone.

 

Really happy for Poch. If PSG can avoid their traditional return-leg collapse, it'll be a major arrow in his quiver.

 

I like Poch but he’s not Spurs manager anymore so not fussed what he wins tbh.

PSG are like City and Chelsea with all their dodgy oil money

 

We now know who’s making these Twitter accounts abusing Utd players after games now

 

Not really. This Barca team is finished. Messi is gone at the end of the season and they probably need 7-8 players to return to any sort of glory.

 

Over the last three seasons, just to stay at the same level we should have replaced Lloris, Trippier, Vertonghen, Rose, Alderweireld, Wanyama, Dembele and Eriksen. And according to you we need to upgrade Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Dele, Winks, Sissoko, Lamela and Lucas too. The first eight of those would have needed us to sign something like Allyson, Van Dyck, Dias, Wan Bissaka, Cancelo, Rodri, Ndombele and Fernandes. That's 750m. It doesn't matter who was in charge or who made the decisions, it was simply impossible

 

Not even sure it's an ego thing, I think that he just likes being involved because he is a genuine Spurs fan but he needs to understand his footballing decisions aren't the greatest, though from a business perspective he's great and that's where he should stay.

Yeah Edwards has been brilliant with you lot, put himself alongside Campos, Zorc, Monchi etc as one of the top DoFs in the game right now.

That's the route I want Spurs to go down, hire a proper DoF with a genuine philosophy whilst also take inspiration from clubs like Dortmund, Porto, Ajax, Sevilla, Zagreb, Salzburg etc in terms of buying the right sort of players to fit a mould, instead of just buying players because of their name or reputation.

We used to be really good and have a sort of philosophy/ criteria that done well but we've massively lost our way. Went from a club who excelled at buying young (often British), talent whose values and ability would increase over time, to now being a club that struggles to fill HG numbers.

 

I'll always have a soft spot for Pochettino, just like I do with Jol and Redknapp but he ain't our manager and he's at the French version of City so couldn't care less about him winning trophies.
Am a spurs fan not a Pochettino one

 

Could have just signed some others like soyuncu, perreira, Justin James, Madison, Grealish, Soucek, watkins, martinez, ings which would havew been the cost of a lo celso, sanchez and ndombele

 

Pereira - £22m. Maguire - £16m. Soyuncu - £18m. Grealish - £15m-£20m. Maddison - £20m. Fernandes - £50m.

There's six players simply off the top of my head who would've helped keep Spurs at a good level but we passed up on them for alternatives or simply said no. Only one of them cost more than £30m too.

So it's not impossible, it's just been piss poor management when it comes to buying/ not buying.

 

Even with perfect hindsight of picking bargains, those players are not in the same class as the ones we had.
