I blame Harry for most of our failings this season . Agree it's time to spend some money if we want to compete ...

But Levy is still doing the same thing, this Vertonghen deal is being delayed because wont pay the bloody asking price set by Ajax FFS LEVY!!! Do you want to build this club up or not? I despair with tottenham sometimes, i really do.

Agreed, Levy always haggles down to the lowest possible price. Never would we be seen taking a gamble on a £50m Torres or anything like the other big clubs do. United wasted so much on rubbish like Anderson, De Gea even Berbatov.

Destroyed...but fair play to chels...the sure know how too dig on...gutted of course...Germans loosing a goal lead...then missing pens galore...!!!!

Unreal...buts it's done now...I'd say one of bale or luka to go...poss both.

We've no real chance of challenging now...until new ground built and paid for....

You think thats a good thing? If you went down that road you would turn into the next Leeds.

Wait, you were joking?

Whilst im gutted about last night we have to remember that both Bale and Modric are still under contract.
They can both say we want to leave but until Darth agrees to sell they are our players.
If the Madrid rumors are true i would ask for a straight swap between Kaka and Modric.

not sure we can blame levy.

from his point of view, the team was ten points clear at the jan transfer window.....

i doubt it was his idea to send corluka and peinaar on loan, eve andros townnsend.

it was only because we sent players on loan that we had to bring players in. never in levys wildest dreams would harry and the collection of players we had have completely bottled it so so badly.

No just pointing out the fact that Levy would never pip anyone to signing a big player because he won't pay over the odds. Obviously all those players I mentioned have been wastes of money but we'll miss out on Vertonghen cos he won't pay another £2m. What's £2m to a club like us surely we should be able to find £2m

God save i think Vertonghen is a done deal,and will be announced just before the euros.

i would be all for selling Modric to Real madrid to be honest. I can't take another summer of luka modrics anitics and now we ain't got CL there is no doubt Modric will want to go. Get him off to Madrid so we don't see him again and get a player like KAKA in part exchange

New flash - if you spent like that you would fall apart. You don't have money to waste like that. If you bought a 30mil player who flopped you could not recover.

.................................

I don't know if a golden boot winner can really be called rubbish... you could say we overpaid or that he didn't meet the expectations but to call him rubbish is pushing it...

If you consider a lot of the deals over the last 5 years he doesn't exactly look that overpriced. I don't really see how you can call De Gea overpriced either, admittedly he looked shaky at the start of the season but as it went on he started looking really good. If you take into consideration age then I wouldn't really want to swap him for any keeper in the premiership (well maybe Hart)

I will agree with Anderson though,really good player but almost as injury prone as Ledley King....

Why would Madrid want Modric? He plays in Alonso's position.

posted on 20/5/12

Don Luka has not said anything other than he will decide his future after the euros.
The hobit forgets his under contract.
Im all for a bit of Kaka mind you.

I mean rubbish not overpriced.

Why would Kaka want to play Europa league football for a much lower salary?

De Gea a waste of money? Why, because he had a tough couple of months in a new league?

look at our balance sheet... our bank balance is not much higher than our current liabilities... meaning that any money we can save really is necessary ESPECIALLY as we have just built a training ground and are trying to finance a stadium.

our lack of champions league revenue will cost us so so so badly, but levy will have a contigecy plan in place, as he is a true businessman

Sorry but the ONLY way we will ever complete is if a billionaire bought us and splashed the cash. We will NEVER be a regular top four club under Levy.

Harsh but that is what football has become, frankly Im getting bored of it.

kaka to spurs? not a chance.. even if he wanted to come how can we pay him?

affellay from barca is one to go for but without cl football thats hard

posted on 20/5/12

In fairness Smeg in the last 3 seasons you have finished 4th 5th and then 4th again, that is not exactly far off regular top 4 it is only unfortunate that 4th didn't mean CL qualification this year...
