***The Spurs Files 3***

None too happy with Gakpo, overpriced and has difficulty hitting a barn door.
We paid £60,000,000 too much for Solanke of which we'll never get anything back.
Richarlason has a year left so will probably stay, it's in his own interests and he's
a trier.
Osimhen makes greater appeal especially for the money banded about for Gakpo.
Savinho has dragged on far too long wtf is happening there?
However, if we get two forwards to my mind that's a very satisfactory transfer window,
much as I respect Levy who put the foundations in, it's been a great improvement.

Btw how Juventus forked out £40,000,000 plus is the biggest and stupidest
transfer I've ever seen in my life.2 bob would be too much.

For Kolo Mauni.

Kolo Mauni.. Flattered to deceive.. Timo Werner on the opposite wing! What a win double that would have been..

Cody Gakpo.. Excites me.

Yeah, £43 million on Kolo Muani for a cash-strapped Juve is insane. One of the worst strikers to ever appear in the PL but he seems to perform a bit better in Italy. Still though.

Mr OFFSIDE Jackson been offered for £60 m
What a waste of space!!!

Osimen would be a better bet

Getting a vibe from both of the above "Come with a disruptive attitude"

I've always been an admirer of Jackson.. Almost brilliant, with electric pace... Pretty sure he'd almost score many goals! (Werner-esk)

Jackson is a shocking player. I'll be furious if he somehow ends up at Spurs.

Starting to realise Solanke is a dud... Richarlison and Tel aren't number 9's

Victor Osimhen would be an exciting addition.. BUT! there's always a big but! with Spurs...

Solanke is absolutely a dud and I want him gone. I'd rather keep Richarlison over him. Ridiculous how long the Savinho saga is dragging on. I'm not even sure if he's a good player.

Drew with Gestafe
Captain Gray again at rite back
Only 7 subs-not used
and Fernades/Solanky not present
Is Solanky injured again?

Seems to me were selling Spence and Romero far to cheap, particularly after the world cup
performances. God knows why?
I'd put £10 million on both, but I guess you can only get what people will pay, unless
it's Spurs trying to buy a winger and a centre forward.

Crazy, I agree Fig. Will be interesting to see how Romero plays now. I'm guessing the only red he will see is on his shirt. Spence is a strange one too. I'd consider buying him myself as an investment at that price.

As the friendlies are proving, we are still lightweight up front and time is ticking fast!

Adios Cristian Romero. I seem to remember he was very instrumental in helping win the Europa League final. But for some reason not particularly liked by the fans. Will be interesting to see how he shines at Atlético.

I didn't dislike the guy and overall he was a very good player for Spurs. It was probably best for both parties that he left though. There's a lot of anti-Argentina bias in the British media and that definitely contributed to the hate for him. Both him and DJ Ed were sold on the cheap though. There's talk of a £85m deal for Savinho now, absolutely ludicrous amount for an unproven player. Attacking players urgently required this week..

I actually dislike the guy.. He's a slippery cheating Greedy Ponce of a man.. imo. Good riddance.

He's an above average footballer.. It's a shame things turned out like they have.

He's a great footballer and his forward passing was exquisite at times, but he took the piste last season. Clearly wanted the red even though it would damage us. Good riddance indeed. I agree with Storm that he was the brains behind the Europa win, in fact, I've always believed that he took posty's job during that run, but his actions last year were intentional and unforgivable, I can't see it any other way.

Anyway, looking forward we either get an attacking player or, more importantly, a striker or we're gonna struggle, unless OUR Mikey suddenly takes the step up that's been touted of him. Worrying times, yet again, but this team should be an improvement, regardless.

P.S. Gutted that they got Guimaraes. Love to have seen him in a Spurs shirt.

Feeling a lot more comfortable with De Zerbi in charge at the start of this season, than Frank (last season)...  COYS.

I see in the reserve match today
Madison played centre forward
Perhaps Dersrbe dosent need another FORWARD!!!

Sick note Solanky nowhere to be seen
Makes Andertun look like Pele

Should've kept Lankshear and got rid of Sowanke. Put him up for sale for £7.25m and see if there any takers. I though Moore went on loan to Frankfurt or some other Bundesliga team. Maybe he's good enough for the first team....who knows.

Agree Sofa, Lankshear never got a chance, I've got an idea that'll come back to bite us.
We paid £60,000,000 too much for Solanke after one good season, Lankshear is a improvement.
Gary Mabbutt phones the over 75s on their birthday and he said 2% of acadeny players in the Prem make the first team.
Imho probably 0.05% at Spurs.
To my mind at Spurs it's a factory with no peermanent access to the first team.

And still no attacking reinforcements. No way do I want Savinho for $85m...he has scored two goals for City115 in two or three seasons. Vicario gone on loan and £8m buy option. Yet another player sold on the cheap. My optimism for the season is gradually subsiding.

Guessing Richarlison plays no9 on Saturday.. You just never know what mood he's gonna be in! ..

Hopefully the pitch will be well watered @ Brentford, for Madders and Richarlison to throw themselves about on...

Perhaps a cheeky bid for Watkins

Bit of fun for spurs fans or anyone

You can add this player at his peak to this season squad who would you pick ???

A bale
B king
C hoddle
D gazza
E Kane
F Jimmy graves

Any of them, but considering we need a goal scorer above all else, then that leaves only 2. Tough choice but I think I'd opt for Greaves because he didn't wander as much. Not that I mind Kane wandering, but an out and out goalscorer fits the bill right now.

If Gazza or Bale were missing from the team sheet (we're fecked ) was my memory..
Both absolute genius imo..

I loved Glen Perhaps half a notch below ^

Harry Still is superb..

Ledley Top defender..

Jimmy was a little early for my memory..

Gazza.. imo.

But with the laws of the game today... Bale.

Gazza

2012/13 Bale. Never saw Greaves play, that was way before my time.

The "BOMBAS" are on the way apparently. Savinho, Marmoush, Gakpo.

If Gazza or Bale were missing from the team sheet (we're fecked Grin) was my memory..
Both absolute genius imo..

not even sure what to say about that...

one was a genius who's career was sabotaged by injury (the worst of which his own fault) ...the other was Gareth Bale.

Will Richarlison start Saturday?

Yes, the "bombas" are not ready and Sowanke is out till the new year with a toothache.

If you haven't paid by 20th August you'll be kicked out the league!

That's what the guy wrote...

Tottenham AGREE Omar Marmoush loan transfer with £50million option to buy after striking deal with Man City

Spurs season about to turn around!...

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1Cae6s8vjv/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Richarlison has hopefully played his last game for this club. Sarr on the way out too and I'm ok with Bergvall leaving for £50m+. And why the hell was Archie Gray captain yesterday???????

Desperate defence still on Saturday. Pointless buying strikers if they are leaking goals like that.

And why the hell was Archie Gray captain yesterday???????

Because he was the Designated Survivor.

Apparently there were four in front of him (1) van de Van (2) Porro (3) Davies (4) Maddison (5) Gray... hence the armband.

If Tonali's debut was anything to go by, that's a lot of cash down the drain. £50m would have been too much. Man City's pair should give us a little spark up front (he says) but that was desperate on Saturday. Zebedee is blaming fitness which is weird considering most of that team played in the pre-openers... not buying that at all. It was poor, all round, end of.

Defence got bullied something that wouldn't happened with Romero, that doesn't fill me with confidence.
Gray and Bervall the kings new clothes, both are promising imho sfa.
I'd sell both and let someone else have the promise.The former should never be captain, he's far
too young and ineffective at right back.
Terrible performance, yes it's early days,but De Zerbi's going to have learn soon who he can trust
and not make statements about players(particularly Bergvall) until he sees them in action.
More cavalry in the pipeline, the sooner the better, and Porro and MVDV needed back ASAP.

Guess who's injured tonight?

No prizes... Madders! obviously!..

Must win game. Anyone watching?

Sowanke a complete passenger so far. Don't think he's touched the ball.

So lanky hates being tackled hes lost it in my opinion and will be sold next season.

I hope he's sold in this transfer window. Hopeless player. A rubbish performance so far against a second string Charlton side.

Was a big fish in our little pond at AFCB..

Good goal Mikey Moore.

Ok, they've finally woken up after sleepwalking through the first 40 mins. 2-0 Sowanke.

Old squeaky balls will be giving it the large now.

Who?

Their playing Charlton RESERVES

Andy Gray looks like hes lost his PACE
Is he injured?
He was also slow on Saturday

ARCHIE GRAY

3-0. Savinho ON. Why is he now called Savio?

Savinho scores within ten minutes after coming on. Much better after a poor first half.

That was the first Spurs game in quite a long time that I've enjoyed watching (besides the stodgy opening 30 minutes). Of course we have to take into consideration that it was against weak opposition. Good to see Moore and Savi(nh)o on the scoresheet, Porro and Mickey get some game time and hopefully Solanke can prove us wrong this season.

When you say weak opposition.. Basically a Charlton (C) team, that made us look very very ordinary for the first 30 minutes...

But Hey-ho... Things are changing, Omar Marmoush is here..  COYS.

Good news
Palace defeat
means were nearly out of the relegation zone

No sign of Richarlison!?... Has he gone/going?

Going. He's no worse than any of the other donkeys up front.

Newcastle manager scholled Deserbe
Probably need another £300M transfer

Tonali not fit!!!

We were better, but it appears we still need someone to put the ball in the net. Another hard season ahead.

Same **** different season

Poor selection by DZ.Porro never a winger as long as he's got a hole in his Aristotle.
DZ hadn't done his homwork, Frank I think tried it with the same hopelss result.
Out of time to remove Gray and Bergvall who promise much but provide too litte.
Tel had a nightmare but truth be told it ain't any good, he only played because Savino had a bruised ego.
Very early days, another manager who's having to learn the hard way, but if he'd done some research
he wouldn't have put out that team.
DZ talks too much especially saying if they want to leave, they can.
We've now ended up in a pickle with Danso who seems to me to be encouraged by the mnanager's idiotic
words.
Forest next week doesn't seem too hopeful, supporters with long memories will remember an unbeaten pre season and
2 points after 8 games.

They don't look too bad to me.
Absolutely no danger of relegation but little chance of winning anything

NO decent player is coming to Spurs
Sp unking money on overrated,historically(and in all likelihood future)underperforming rejects
Levy's wallet is on display in the British Museum as an artefact that was never opened
now we have the complete antithesis carefee,injudicious spending like some gold digging billionaire's hoe
absolutely pathetic..don't fall for the old BS..the side needs time to gel
it ain't happening
De Zerbi is not the answer
'things can only get better' as the song goes but don't hold your breath with this mob
deja vu all over again as they say

spend the money and expect overnight success - never happens. calm down - the blueprint is starting to develop, but like all things it takes time and spurs fans just need to be calm and before u know it, it will click. Rival fanswill mock, but thats because they're hoping it doesnt work out, because they're fearing it

Kinnell, that's a different approach from you Tony... good to see.

Has Tony's account been hacked?

They never learn. It takes 3 months to get a team of new signings really playing together and feeling comfortable with each other. A new manager with several new players is a recipe for disaster and the interview with De Zerbi on Saturday night did nothing to encourage me that he understands the scale of the problem. Just hearing that Saar is going along with Danso. Yet more regular starters leaving to be replaced by players who don't know anyone else in the side.

WTF-Hes an injury prone DISATER AREA

WTF-Hes an injury prone DISATER AREA.. When Richarlison leaves, there's gonna be a spare bed... Should fit in nicely

Iliman Ndiaye, is a superb midfielder... Do we really need another superb midfielder?

Ili is more of a winger emit, wish he was staying with the Toffees as he is genuinely a guy who gets you off your seat, end product as far as goalscoring is concerned still needs some work but he sets up plenty of chances,  any decent striker will score plenty of goals with him in the side.

any decent striker will score plenty of goals with him in the side

And therein lies the problem

Looks like City have hijacked it anyway.

Iliman Ndiaye transfer news: Man City agree £65m deal for Everton winger as Tottenham turn attention to Mykhailo Mudryk

Mykhailo Mudryk.. Turning into a comedy..

Is this April FOOLS joke?

Signing Toisin???
Have you ever watched him?

Pulsic been linked with us
WTF-Hes an injury prone DISATER AREA

Premier doesnt suit him. As with Toisin learn from Chelseas many mistakes

Chelsea must be laughing their as**s off that their bitter rivals came to the rescue. They probably thought it would be almost impossible to get rid of those two bums.

What do you think of the transfers made?
Got rid of some dross apart from
Charliestown

I feel it was uninspiring
Spurs dont have a proper selection process even though they have only 2 sporting directors!!!

If by the end of November they havent made progress up the Table
Desrvebe is DEAD

Guessing we wont see Richarlison wearing the shirt again..

Mykhailo Mudryk.

Maybe he's a great guy, Maybe Chelsea are paying the vast majority of his wages... Who knows

Richarlison heading to Trabzonspor apparently. Bit of a scattergun approach to the transfer window and still short in some areas (striker, right back etc).

Have faith and fill up on the 11/4 top 6 lads, when all the new signings bed in it will click for you lot.

Ain't touching top 6 at those odds. Is it too much to expect them to score a goal and maybe even win a game of football? Nottingham Forest away up next.

For your collective delectation re the Transfer Window signings
and how they are perceived without the rose tinted glasses on
Proof of the pudding will be in the eating
We await with bated breath

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/tottenham-told-their-signing-is-third-worst-of-every-premier-league-deal-this-summer/ar-AA2brJFD?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=6a990fa0d97c41308d4b41d9ad74a1d1&ei=14

I'd fully expect 0 at forest.. but 3 points would mean the worm has turned and top 6 @ 11/4 looks very nice...

It's 12.4/4 on the exchange. I wouldn't back them to finish top half a that price.

lurka,

You were similar on United last year, the new signings on their own will put them right there just like it did for United last year even with a shocking start and managerial change there was still plenty of time left, the two losses and potentially another tough game against Forest are reinforcing the Spursyness but there is plenty of time for the players to bed in and the quality to begin to take effect.

Spurs are 1.62 top half finish, they should be about 1.2 IMO

On the Exchange...

8/1	Top 4
9/2	Top 5
3/1	Top 6

Currently not tempted, tbh.

Fill yer boots, it's coming to something when you've got to rely on a United fan to add a bit of positivity to you lot.

Shocking start? Losing 0-1 at home to Arsenal while playing pretty well and 2 points off top 6 after 2 games. They fired their manager when they were in the top 6 too, which is highly unusual.

I don't get where the faith comes from. United added 3 goalscorers and scored 25 more goals and didn't lose anyone important. I don't see where the extra goals are coming from for Spurs and not sure they'll be better at the back either. Maybe wait until they play well and score.

Pool and Newc are also playing more winnable games before Forest v Spurs too so likely the price will be better before they play again.

Price changes after two three or four games are always out of sync with what the actual price should really be, Pool and Newc playing and perhaps winning affecting the price is akin to the lead changing after the first fence in the National and someone over-reacting at that point.

Villa didn't score a goal for five games last season never mind win, Liverpool won their first five.

The stigma attached to Spurs is overly affecting the price and the money they spent is exaggerating it.

I'd be quite happy for Spurs to get turned over at Forest and then be able to get some 4/1-9/2 top 6.
