“The injured players are coming back, and while making a stress purchase might give you a nice immediate feeling, there’s no point in signing players who can’t help us in either the short or long term.” Johan Lange on the 4th of February. Aged like milk left out in the hot sun

I love that we keep using this picture. It is so Beavis and Butthead.
They simply do not care as much as they should.
Genuinely don’t want either of these people working in sport, much less at the club, if we get relegated. I want them out even if we stay up.
I am curious to hear the players that people think we should have signed in that window.
It was a pretty dreary window in which most of the top 6 clubs signed nobody, so who do you we think we should have gone for?
Kudus is out for the season by the way.
All I want to learn of these two going forward is that they’ve been let go by the club.
Particularly the CEO!
COYS!!!
This quote pissed me off so much, LOANS EXIST. The club really couldn’t arrange a Danjuma like loan until the end of the season?
Kudus is injured again
And they signed fucking Gallagher
These two MFers sitting us down for “the talk” and why it’s important to wait until marriage with this quote lmao
Out of curiosity which players were they referring to as ‘coming back’ at this point? Bergvall, Kudus and who else? Feels like Deki, Maddison, Odobert were all still long term at this point? And we didn’t expect Kudus back until late March right. I mean, they just quoted a load of bollocks.
I really don’t understand what he was talking about at this point in time. The majority of our injuries, the long term ones, were not supposed to be back until April/May at the ABSOLUTE earliest. Although I don’t think we will see most of them again this season and this was always painfully obvious.
They have royally fucked us over at every possible opportunity.
“Well we can’t purchase more because if we purchase more players then we might have a serviceable squad that can actually compete”
they will (rightly) lose their jobs after this season and it infuriates me that they’ll just get new ones while spurs try to get back on stable ground
the fact that they’ll find new employment before spurs are back to competing really gets under my skin
From a business perspective they are right. But that’s in isolation and they are actually confusing short and long term gains. Their lack of short term commitment which they see as mitigating risk is creating long term issues with the fan base. The fan base who pay for the tickets and the merch
i so much hate those clowns, unbelivable that they are running a football club. twats
Lange badly failed, and there really shouldn’t be a second chance for him there – we were left short and it has led us to a huge risk
Meanwhile they spent 50M on Gallagher. “No panic buy,” right?
These two have GOT to go!
Bloke prob thought he was so clever
This just shows how retarded the whole management at Tottenham really is.
Even if every player injured at that time would come back on Monday… all that would mean nothing as they have to get into shape and get back their lost feeling for the game.
It is not like you work at an office, get some bad cough and after a week you are able to push papers again.
If a keeper does not play for months he loses his ability to judge the ball and speed of game correctly (welcome Kinsky; or any #2 keeper who then plays for their country as #1 just because they are at a big club/league), same for defenders, midfielders and attackers – you still know how to ‘play’ BUT your ‘play judgement’ is off (you can be too quick, slow, early, late) and the only way to get that back is playing many games.
That’s where buying or loaning a player is a better and quicker remedy. Those usually have the stamina and some play time and that’s what your club needs.
For a second I thought he said it again and was about to really crash out
..proceeds to sign conor gallagher who can barely help us in the short or long term as that’s the one position we’re stacked in
I just want a big banner with this quote and his face for the next home game
Get these clowns out of my club
Dumb and dumber. If we go down it will have been entirely preventable at multiple points.
