Happy St Totteringham Day - NOT

Is not the biggest threat to Tottenham the move to Wembley for a season? Considering how badly that went in the CL that would be my worry if I were a Tottenham fan. The team is great, no worries there.

Its going to be an interesting season thats for sure.
 
I don’t care LP, everything you post is nonsense designed to try and get into a flame war. I find everything and I mean everything you post lacks any sort of intelligent thought and is generally just a wild stab at generating posts in your pursuit of Homer.


Sad.

If you are judging that based on your level of posts then that can only be a compliment :thup:

Depends on what you mean by threat - Spurs will never be more than what they are right now because Levy will never be able to resist selling the best players when the big offers come in - Ali , Dembele , Walker etc will be targets for clubs willing to spend big money on both wages and fees.

Agreed (although for millionth time I just enjoy the fun and games on here and my post count IS irrelevant). Capped daily now anyway.

Yeah al the playerrs are tied to long contracts, sure some will be lured away by the Man city coin, but either way its exciting times and a good future. Look at today, Trippier and Davies in for rose and Walker, if players go we will replace them. Pochettino is about the team

Continued progress. Spurs could feasibly win the league next year if they kept their team and added maybe one more player. That changes with the move to Wembley. For whatever reason it is affecting them.

I get your point about wages but they seem to have a cracking team ethic and maybe they can squeeze another year out of this current set of players before the side breaks up. Maybe more if they win silverware.

4/5 years ago they could have progressed on with players like Bale and Modric etc but as soon as the big offers came in Levy knows the money will keep the club on solid footing so he sells for the top money

Its possible that could be another West Ham scenario.

Even when they do sell the better players do they have the attraction to replace them with big money signings as well ?

I think if Spurs can overcome the problems of Wembley (West Ham haven't found it easy) then they could easily challenge again next year. I think holding onto Kane is key and that depends on what Levy see. Will it be about the balance sheet and making a profit or will he finally see a chance for Spurs to become a regular big player in the PL and then in the CL. To do that if they sell Kane they have to bring in world class (and big wage earners) to continue to develop and improve
 
Spurs are far stronger now than the Bale, Modric era. Two years running now they have challenged. They are the real deal. Maybe, just maybe the players see this as well. Just a thought.

They become the real deal when they cross the line - until then they are just challengers. Also have make footprints in Europe as well - get to the latter stages

They are getting closer. Not sure real deal is the right way to describe them. Work in progress more accurate in my mind as they need to do more in Europe for starters and and then add silverware and a PL title to be seen as the real, real deal
 
I think there is quite a big difference from the spurs that sold all their best players (even going back as far as carrick) and now. Back then they were going to miss the players but they always felt they were never at the top level so could afford to let them go without it damaging results too much. Now they have a team that are genuine title challengers and the players will only go when they want to. I wish they would be willing to sell a few though, we could do with a couple at Old Trafford.

Levy is a very clever man when it comes to transfers and the impact on the club. He knows a title challenging team will sell more corporate tickets, sell out the new stadium every week, higher value sponsorship packages, etc. A winning team brings in more revenue, so they need to maintain that

Trolling of the highest order, insulting to Spurs history, we know nobody can match your CL record but to dismiss Spurs this way is ridiculous, currently have qualified for Europe 8 or 9 times out of the last 10, better PL record than you's over same period, reached the CL qf in last 10 years.

As for crossing a line, joke, which line is that?
PL title or CL, must be CL because sadly that's the only argument you have left now for a team above you!

They were winning European Trophies and doing the double when yous were in the 2nd division.

Once again you pick n choose which bits of history prove your point.

LP has made a fair point. Historical achievements have nothing to do with his point.

This current Spurs side has won nothing, their CL efforts this season in a group they should be getting out was poor and the excuse of "the wemberlee curse" is embarrassing.

But I wanna make myself clear, I think this Spurs side is a top side who are a big, powerful unit with quality in the likes of Erikssen,Dele and a natural finisher In Kane. I enjoy watching spurs but until they've put silverware on the table imo they're just another side with potential.

Stu, read his posts once Paddy dismiss's him, he starts claiming they're a selling club, then goes on about Bale and not replacing him.
No Spurs fan claimed anything LP slagged off, he got his back up and went silly, trolling looking for a reaction, what's this line he's on about and how far back does it include, because potentially they're are bigger than a few below them.

Paddy's point doesn't count, he doesn't even know where white Hart Lane is :rofl:

Again, selling Bale is a valid point, they chose the money and it made them weaker. Fact.

I can't be certain as to "what the line is" but I think he means once they win something and are consistent in Europe.

I don't agree with everything LP posts but in this I'd say he's spot on.

I'd agree with Stu here,
Everyone is partisan towards their own team and nobody likes to see their team criticised.

This Spurs team is good, very good, certain key players have switched on and they haven't been troubled by many major injuries , although Kane was out for a few weeks at a critical time.

They were poor in Europe and Spurs does have a history of selling which has held them back imo.

Agree with LP that until they cross the line and win something or do well in Europe consistently they are similar to a number of other teams including Liverpool who are on the cusp of good times.

So let's all be happy , unless you support Sunderland :(

You were doing so well until this point, *shakes head in despair* now get back in your MOD box :D

The Bale point is/was irrelevant to the thread, have you's replaced Suarez?

And as for winning stuff they've won the same amount as Liverpool over the last 10 years.

They are a team on the up and this thread was started by a Spurs fan to celebrate them beating local rivals, once again LP twisted it away.
