Here Don seen you said your getting married in Italy, feel for you mate. Can’t see your guests fancying that journey atm

Wedding not for 2 months mate and it’s in the south of Italy where no traces of it so far. Italy in lockdown for that reason, to contain it and stop it spreading. Pretty positive it will all be resolved by then.

Best of luck with your wedding Don, but Italy is in lockdown at the moment. Have they given you any advice?

Ok, I totally agree with the criticism of Spurs in the transfer market / forward planning in the right areas, but please don't compare us with Utd.

They are not the opposite of us in this area. They have an absolutely horrendous transfer record over the last few years, and a couple of good games from Fernandes does not make it all ok.

Frankly some of the comments on here seem to show some of us are falling for the constant media "positive spin" that always follows Utd around. I mean just how many corners have they turned so far. How many very small chinks of light have the media turned into major successes ?

Yes we need to be seriously concerned where Spurs are currently going, but let's get some perspective about Utd, who are as far away from City and Liverpool as we are.

No flights here to Italy I thought?

We could of signed Fernandes and apparently he was keen to come to us, but for whatever reason we did not make it happen, probably down to Levy not wanting to spend as always. Then again it was probably all just club propaganda like the fantasy deals for Dybala, Coutinho etc

Hope the wedding goes well Don and you avoid anything bad going on in Italy, namely any coverage of Spurs.

Spurs didn't want to pay more than 45m up front from what I read. We got him for 47m up front.

Yeh, I don’t believe that myself.

Wages have been Tottenham’s issue for many years.

Cheers spurtle mate

Don, don’t know you but sorry to hear that and hope it all settles down for you.

Wedding planning is a tough old business so this is incredibly harsh on you!

Just incredible bad luck mate but we are covered that’s the main thing. We have a wedding planner based in uk who’s arranged it all. So if worse comes to worse and Italy is still in lockdown by May, we postpone the wedding to a date suitable to us. Holiday companies will refund us and all our guests money to, as the country would be in lockdown. So we wouldn’t lose out, just be very frustrating as we been really looking forward to it in May, but I think it will settle when the lockdown is lifted, so fingers crossed. Where I’m getting married in Sorrento they don’t even have any cases, it’s just the North.
