    Funny hearing the naysayers mock us as though we’re signing rejects again. Wasn’t Henry a Juve reject….?

    The most important thing though is that these are players with their best years ahead of them.

    It’s not the same as signing the likes of David Luiz and Willian who only came here because they wanted to stay in London and we were dumb enough to put up the sort of money they wouldn’t get anywhere else.

    Can you imagine the reaction if our summer business was a 33yo Perisic, a 34yo Fraser Forster, a championship fullback, an inconsistent, temperamental winger who everyone hates and a CB loanee who completely bombed at Barcelona (I'll let them have Bissouma - that was a good bit of business)?

    And can you imagine the hype if spurs had added Jesus, Zinchenko, one of the best young CBs in europe, one of the best young playmakers in europe and the best GK from the MLS (doesn't matter if you rate him or not, that's how everyone would be talking about him if he went to spurs).

    Yep, better to try and shift him.

    Yeah exactly. It's weird to me to see people saying they're improving and we aren't. Looks like the exact opposite to me.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Agreed.

    This is better though in some ways. Let the usual idiots create all the fanfare they want about Spurs, etc and then we will quietly go out and put in the performances and get results.

    They will soon eat their words over the next season

    Yeah but the Spuds have a WC manager and we have a trainee. Big difference. If we had switched managers for the last 3 games of the season. I bet we would be in the CL now...Instead we shat ourselves big time. Spuds have improved or maybe not. But they still have Conte. United have a manager of great repute now...who knows but one thing is for sure 6 does not go into 4 places.

    The Spuds, with their squad are coming close to the end of their window in respect of challenging for major honours.

    Key players are ageing and the return they can expect from and for them are diminishing.

    In particular, Son and Kane. Unless they get lucky with development of their squad, these will be expensive to replace.

    I like where we are in squad development relative to the Spuds.
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    I think that is a pretty fair statement.

    They literally have this season as their window of opportunity before the gradual decline sets in.

    Spurs have done great business. Mon tae fuck.

    Richarlison is quality. Even though he's a cunt. A front 3 of Son Kane and Richarlison is absolutely elite.

    Bissouma is proven quality.

    Looks like they've addressed the biggest issue of RB...and then added some depth.

    That's the objective truth.
