Bookies running scared of the "NEW" Tottenham Hotspur

Real Madrid are ready to sell
Mbappe
Spurs odds 2-1

They run scared of Liverpool after the big spend. Look what happened there

Wouldn't back these perennial losers with counterfeit.

Kind Regards.

Signing a player who finished 12th and another who was relegated gives them cause for optimism ?.
I nearly forgot they also extended Kinski's contract.

Maybe Betfair will open a Top 16 market for you ? That would be an improvement on the last 2 seasons.

Spurs fans dreaming of titles/cups August, reality will have set in by September...

no europe and one game a week didnt hurt Man U last season

De Zerbi will get a lot of time on the training ground so will have no excuses

as a Spurs fan, I am fed up with the merry go round in recent years as good players come in at high prices and leave at lower ones only to excel in their new club. Now they are rumoured to be spending £180 million on Tonali and Fernandez from other Premier league teams plus another goalkeeper from Burnley. We need to continue to buy good players but why sell ones such as Trippier, Dier and of course Kane. This is not new as Walker,Carrick, Crouch and Modric went muchfarther back. Walker and Trippier would walk back into the team even now. kane, Carrick and Modric would also but would not be willing to go near it. Is the problem coming from the management team? Poccetino is now doing a good job in US, Franc only lasted a few months and the current manager is considerably worse than either of them. How many players could be bought with the compensation paid to sacked managers?

sorry, Carrick would walk in as manager not a player!

Why would Tonali make a downwards move from Newcastle to Tottenham?

The answer is money.

i think everyone would move from newcastle to Spurs if they doubled your money

A player of his level is wasting his career moving to Tottenham, they cannot win anything significant, i.e the league or the CL, so why waste a short career just for more money, he was already on 150k a week, it says a lot about a player that he's giving up the chance to win silverware merely for monetary gain, you wouldn't want a player like that in your side, Guimarães may come to Arsenal and receive a pay rise, but at least we'd know it was to win trophies as well. Fans called Sterling a merchant for going from Liverpool to City when it was obvious it was for trophies, the money just came with it, but the wat Liverpool fans went on you'd think City were a hopeless mid table side.

Didn't Gazza make the same mistake, was going to Man United instead of Tottenham but the club offered his dad a house and car so he went there, how did that work out.

He could easily move to any of the top Italian clubs that are in contention for Serie A.

The vast majority of players will try and maximise their earning potential in what might be a short career

Not every player can play for Man City, Arsenal. Liverpool etc
I dont see Newcastles opportunity to win trophies as being any more than Spurs. One trophy in how many years?


Tonali transfer has helped Newcastle with their PSR problems

Often players dont want to leave clubs but are told to find a new club. It works both ways

Backing de Zerbi with signings for these fees is very risky. He has a history of falling out with players and clubs. What if these guys underperform or are unhappy? You will be stuck with them for years as nobody will pay those fees for them. Going to have a good few players looking for pay rises too. I wouldn't have him as worse than Poch or Frank tho.

I'd say Spurs have a big sale or two lined up, Romero/VDV and another. It's strikers they need as much as midfielders.

19 year old Luka Vušković is being sold to Brighton for close to £50m and he's never even played a first team game for Spurs. Romero will probably leave too for a similar fee and possibly Lucas Bergvall for £40m+. To claim that De Zerbi is a worse manager than Thomas Fr*nk is absolutely ludicrous, sageform.

Newcastle have reached their peak before last season, said that then, they are drifting now and if I was a fan I'd be worried about the commitment from the owners going forward as it's all gone flat.

Spurs are now doing what United did at the start of last season, signing decent players, add in the new manager and no European football, an historically massive club, every reason to expect a huge upturn from Spurs this season, of course they can win trophies in due course.

Not saying they'll get top six as I'm not as confident as I was with United last year but they'll be in and around it.

Its got nothing to do with the owners at NUFC, it's the PL and the so called PSR, along with other rules that were brought in at the behest of the so called big 6 in order to protect themselves and ensure that NUFC would never become a successfull football club. Simples.

Yes....and because of all that...... Newcastle have reached their peak before last season, said that then, they are drifting now and if I was a fan I'd be worried about the commitment from the owners going forward as it's all gone flat.

I'm surprised these rules have not been undone in court on the basis of a restriction of trade, but then again didn't Newcastle agree to these rules, probably without understanding the full extent of them, i.e. designed to keep the big 6 the big 6.

Tottenham however will always be the runt of the litter in the group. They just don't have the brand or the pulling power to get Category A players through the door so they have to go for the next cab off the rank. They shop at m&s, the other 5 shop at Harrods.

Kind Regards.

Look at all the Arsenal boys turning out to roast Spurs.. More mesmerised posts here, than on the Arsenal thread for the whole of last season...

Driven by hate and envy.. Clearly.

Pretty sure mes dislikes Spurs more than he likes his own team, Ars*nal. He seems quite obsessed. The thread title is obviously tongue-in-cheek.

I can't read what you're saying obviously but I can imagine you have taken umbrage with my retail outlet analogy, I shall correct myself, m&s is indeed way too upmarket for the likes of you, you're more frequent visitors to The Gap stores instead, now mind that Gap

When it comes to obsessed fans, Sofaking in a league of his own. Huge number of posts denigrating Arsenal all season, every season, for years now. Can't even bring himself to spell Arsenal correctly.

When I spell it correctly it occasionally gets censored and my post fails to appear.

Spurs only just made the Big 6 teams in London on the last day of the season.
Obviously let a few spuds out of the asylum, was it Colney Hatch open day ?.

I think you may be massively exaggerating there with the "Huge number of posts denigrating Arsenal all season, every season, for years now" claim., Storm Alert.  Sure I did have some digs at Ars*nal for their tedious and soporific brand of football but you'd be hard-pressed to dig out more than a handful of those comments here. I barely watched any of your games in the second half of the season. Anyway, it's just a bit of banter and I'm disappointed you take it so personally.
