  1. Spurs needed this one! We have been kicked around too much lately! Kudus seems to have soften the blows! haha
    Your sound problems seemed to be better! You are soft spoken and mumble. But this one is better! Love you Tom!
    Cheers!

  2. A big exciting signing but I think some fans are getting ahead of ourselves, this isn’t an Eze or MGW marquee signing ..yet. He has a very high ceiling no doubt and loads of potential. But he isn’t a ready to go player like the two Englishmen. Hopefully he hits the ground running but I would expect ups & downs with him still while he gets used to the league. This is a Tel level signing maybe a bit more advanced but I didn’t expect Tel to struggle as much as he has so far. But fans comparing the Xavi signing to the VDV or Klinsmann signings are kidding themselves they were ready to go Simmons is still a work in progress fingers crossed he’s as good as the two legends . Sound fine and picture seems better Tom . Thanks for the content

  3. It's a good time to be a Tottenham fan. I hope Levy learns to 'speculate to accumulate '. If we get regular CL football, win a few cups, sell players on at a higher value, that can only be done by investing in the right quality players at the right time. But 'if you snooze, you lose'
    Investing in good players up to £40-50 million these days only keeps you up.

  4. Another center back? Hmmm…. VdV, Romero, Danso, Takai, Vuskovic, Phillips and injured Dragusin. How many CB do we need? Whats the number? How many is effing enough? I mean, we can only play 2 at the time, so HOW MANY?

  5. All the despair from the transfer failures suddenly evaporated in an haze of disbelief. The class, the price and kicking chelski in the bllks… the masterstroke suddenly became clear… goading the Goonies to sign an overpriced Eze leaving the field clear for us to grab Barca's wonder kid now proven an elite. COYS, COYS, COYfknS

  6. Sadly Tom, after yesterdays performance we need a lot more than Xavi. I've said it many times that Sarr and Bentancur are just too inconsistent for the top level. Midfield yesterday was abysmal and we are headed for some embarrassing losses this year unless Levy pulls his finger out.
