Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Rors]

WUMger.

He has still got it.

Surely - surely - the time is now right for him to bring out the "Yes of course, but you must remember" big gun..

As much as it pains me to say this but Tottenham own us when it comes to transfer dealings. They have made some top draw signings with the possibility of signing Hulk and Lamela and Chiriche. This puts our transfer activity to shame badly. They are not even in the champions league and they play in an smaller stadium than us but they can attract these world class players? We only dream of one world class player and they have enjoyed several so far with more to come. All we have is a freebie another possible ex player freebie and the possibility of Cabaye!Oh my days, we have gone backwards and Spurs have over taken us as the main power house and financial clout, these are very dark days for our club.

What world class players have Spurs bought in this window?

All I know is they've lost a world class player that won them a lot of games last season. Actually, no, not a lot of games....the majority of their games. That's one big void to fill. So far they've beaten Palace and Swansea one nil with two penalties..... They're hardly ripping it up.

You mention the possibility of them signing Hulk, Lamela etc but that's just speculating. You may as well include us possibly buying Di Maria etc.

I think as it stands that Spurs certainly have a better squad than us. I don't think their first 11 is much better than ours if at all. Plus I'm convinced Arsene will buy one decent first team player for us which could make all the difference.

Spurs world class?

The full wenger quote is

the media in general has brainwashed a little bit the emirates fans, maybe rightly so, I don't know, because we haven't won trophies for years, everything is negative

So the media took a quote out of context, got arsenal fans angry because they knew they would react. It's hard to argue wenger isn't right there

[Marc Overmars]

I don't perceive the signings Sperz have made to be world class at all, Soldado is probably the closest but that's it. What they have done correctly though is invest every penny from selling Bale, Levy has the right idea and rarely allows them to stand still which can't be said of the people who run our club. We've only been a point better than them for the past 2 seasons, the margins are fine and if we don't get our act together we could easily be on the other side of that point this season.

It doesn't take the media to brainwash us to let us now that we are shit

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

The man lives in a bubble, he simply cannot or will not accept that the reason the fans are angry is eight years without a trophy because of serious lack of investment in the squad and a willingness to sell our best players to rivals. Now should we expect to win trophies?...No but we should expect to compete for them when we pay one of the highest ticket prices in Europe.

It's simple enough for even a garrulous individual like me to sum it up in a paragraph

[Munchies]

The thing that the spuds have done well, is that they've realised that they were massively shit in most areas of their team last season bar Bale.

They then went out, and have effectively spent and brought in solid replacements for their shit players like Gallas/Adebayor .

So although they've now lost Bale, they're much more well rounded overall as a team. We'll see if their signings turn out to be good, but so far they're off to a winning start.

I'm hoping we can have a few new players by the time the derby starts, Flamini can do another Corluka 'foul' and injure Soldado hopefully.

No it isn't. He's wrong. Its patronising in the extreme to suggest that the fans have been brainwashed by the media.

We can but hope.
