The difference between us

[Khalekan]

Spurs have belief and team spirit. Most of all a striker who scores for fun

Yeah, we had one of them critters as well, under contract for another two years but we sold him

What a thread.

One of the reasons Lukaku wanted to leave was our failure to bring players in. Once again this summer we have proved yet again we are still failing in that aspect. Despite apparently having more money.

As ever you have nailed it.

FGS.

Never thought I'd say this but its great having @davek back posting, been missing his viewpoint on recent events

The Giroud deal seemed dead in the water weeks before the window closed , I would have gone full tilt after Vardy even if it jeopardise the Siggi deal our priority had to be a forward.

It is odd that we were so desperate to get Sig after signing Klassen and Rooney.

Was Vardy available? Maybe in January.

There are many reasons why we continue to fail. Far too many to mention.

However I'd just like to compare one reason with Spurs for example. Spurs a title contender.

We sell Lukaku (2 years left) Didn't have to go. And replaced him with.. No one. Not only showing zero ambition, but also showing incompetence to let one of the world's best strikers go, and not even sign a replacement. Criminal.

Spurs keep Kane, and not only that, sign a top 2nd choice in Llorente. We have neither

We need a good RB as Coleman is out until December. We sign Martina a free that Southampton didn't want.

Spurs sell Walker, but replace him with Aurier, and also have a top RB in Tripper. Two good players for each position. We don't

We desperately needed another CB. Williams and Jags are past it, and Holgate for me is only 3rd 4th choice.

Spurs realise that there back up defender in Wimmer for example isn't good enough. Go out and sign Sanchez a top CB to replace him.

This is the difference between us actually challenging for the top four, and not. We do everything wrong, and Spurs do most things right. Until we change our position won't either.

The club talks about challenging for the top 4 and winning titles under moshiri. Yet we are further away than ever, and the window just gone has shown me we still have no ambition whatsoever and the transfer budget remains the same. Sell to buy with a slightly extra amount due to the new TV money. They tell the fans what they want to hear but it's all talk. Even the manager is now saying be 'realistic' It's nothing to do with being realistic it's to do with us constantly making bad errors in running the club.

When did spuds last win the league? What has poch won? How long will it take for kane to sod off to Real? Dont compare us to a team who have won only ONE title more than Leicester City...joke!!

Who knows about Vardy?
I thought the transfer window was going well up to the time we signed Rooney for me that was when romanticism took over from professionalism.You don't buy players you don't need and try to squeeze them into the team especially players well past there sell by date it just sends out the wrong message to the rest of squad
I am not knocking Rooney as he has performed reasonably well but the fact was we just didn't need him.

You play any other records lad; think I've heard this one before.

 

[Llyrap]

Spurs have an elite manager and a world class striker. We sold ours.

For how long?

 

[naz]

Lukaku wanted to go. I don't remember anyone complaining when he was sold. But he was not replaced. Can't look beyond that

Have you had a case of severe memory loss?

 

[Khalekan]

You play any other records lad; think I've heard this one before.

Does it make it any less true?

No?

Thought not.

Just continue burying your head in the sand and keep thinking all is rosy in Koemantonia, though

Coutinho, Virgil and Sanchez all wanted to go from their clubs as well.

But we were the only club which bent over.

Brother, great to see you back. We kept the candle burning for your return.

We tied a yellow ribbon outside the Royal Oak......I will take it down today
