Some of you mob have got to be watching motd. We need to snap up dembele now!!
40,000 spurs fans know who we always need to sign. Then levy does his thing.
I agree tho, would love him at spurs but like but land, DAMAIO and others, we may of left it too late again
Is your name Harry ? Watch motd highlights and think you know who we should sign ?
25 Aug 2012 22:50:34
I have always defended Daniel Levy on this site. I am a professional Accountant and know how important it is to balance the books, however, there must be a balance. levy's reluctance last January to buy a striker (He thought we were a shoo in for 3rd place) cost us an estimated 20 plus million. The striker would have been very cheep. Last year we got off to a terrible start because "Luca's head was not right". Did he get paid his wages while his head was not right? We heard that "he is a lovely lad" and a lot of crap like that. HE IS A HIGHLY PAID PROFESSIONAL. This year we have played our first two games without a creative midfielder and have amassed the total of 1 point. some say it could have been worse!! At least last year we lost to the two Manks which we might have lost anyway. Levy must take blame for not being ready when the season starts. His striking a tight bargain can prove very costly. We are already 8 points behind Chelsea and the season has just started!I am sick of reading that "Moderic is training on his own " as his head is not right? For fu--s sake, he is being paid huge money for training on his own until Madrid decide to sign or not sign him. In the meantime there are up to four games played before the window closes and we are left trying to get our squad settled! madrid are not hurting during this fiasco! The Ade situation was a disgrace. We all knew at the end of last season that we wanted to sign him. Levy fu--s around and saves a half a million and we get 1 point from our first two games. then we hear that Ade is not match fit. Levy is a financial man who is penny pinching while other clubs are getting their act together. i am a Spurs fan since 1961 and will always be but lads(management), please get your act in order and try not to repeat your mistakes, we have had enough Ground Hog days.

Agree,but your grammar for a professional accountant...........

After todays performance surely AVB and DL must now know if they didn't before that we are in need of a proven reliable goalscorer, just hope all this s**t about not signing another striker is purely smoke and mirrors, because if we don't sign one we are in for a long and troublesome season.

Not really avbs fault, I blame Levy either back avb and sign the players we need of F::k off!
Levy must have made promises to AVB when he hired him. But if he did, then the promises should be delivered before the season kicked off and then maybe we might not have dropped five out of the first six points. We took four points from these two fixtures last year.

Lukaku spoilt our day and that of AVB, he came on like a thorn in d flesh, riping open our defence making sure they stole 2 points frm us. His world against AVB's.
SpursMe.
25 Aug 2012 20:25:05
I think it would be suicidal not to bring in another forward as avb keeps saying if we lose ade to a injury or suspension we will be in a whole world of trouble the world and his dog know Defoe and Kane can't do the job we need, I'm not gonna panic just yet but we need another foward, creative mid, and a goal scoring winger, and thats if we dont sell anymore players (excluding Modric).

25 Aug 2012 20:20:06
I am right behind AVB, but if we do not sign another striker, then Levy needs to take a lot of the blame if we struggle Unfortunately it will be AVB who takes the stick and will be gone by christmas. Sorry to sound pesemistic but the media are all over him already! You watch the odds for first manager sacked on Monday.
In AVB i trust, in Levy i am starting to doubt. Please prove me wrong and fix a problem(striker) we have had since Berba left.
Dan84
I , hopefully believe that AVB can pull us back , and I know its only 2 games but come on , playing Jenas . There isnt a manager in the top ten from last year who would want him in their squad , let alone the first team . Now is the time to get rid of the crap or give them away , Jenas , bentley , etc etc and sort out ratface . Tell real madrid to put up or shut up . They will wait till the last day then we cant replace him . Its ok standing up for the best prices for us , and I thank Levy for that but all its doing is f***ing up our plans so tell them and ratface there is a price and a deadline . Surely when AVB signed up for us , he was told he could buy some of his own choices or why would he come . Its very well scrimping and saving , but you pay for it in the end . We needed that forward in January and we would have qualified for the CL . What happens this January when Ade clears off to the nations cup ? Its alright AVB saying we dont need another striker , is he watching the same games as everyone else . We have one good striker , one who is so desperate he shoots every time without opening his eyes around him , and one young potentially good striker with no experience ! For gods sake stop pissing around and sort it out ! Its alright for Levy , AVB and co , what we spend supporting the team and following them , is just pocket money but it isnt cheap , and watching our team suffering for the sakes of £20 mill or so isnt funny ! A top class striker has been needed for over 3 years now , and we wouldnt have got Ade for that price if Man sh**ty werent desperate to sell , so thats not down to Levy ! So Daniel , the time has come to show us what this club really means to you , you got us AVB , now dig deep and get us the striker we need , quickly !!
Sorry for the length of rant ,
Davo
Cut and paste this rant and save it somewhere. Come early January, if we are propping up the rest of the Premiership then, by all means repost. Sorry, two games into the season and you should know better. So many clubs will drop points between now and 2013 that the first half a dozen games are rarely significant, F***K!!! Did last seasons points collapse teach people nothing?? Come on, get behind the side, the manager and, yeah, even Levy who HAS to cut deals and bargain hard for quality playes because we dont have the kind of money that other clubs have, do we!! Give him some bloody credit, any other chairman would have bankrupted us or not spent a ha'peeny and we would now be like Aston Villa!
Super Y*d
Sorry super yod , but a lot of fans dont want to wait until January to see if we are propping up the table ! Even you have to admit that a forward has been needed since berba left ! Yes Levy keeps us financially sound , good on him , but a lot of money goes into the club and we have spent what , 25 mill ? I dont know about you but I have spent a lot of money following my club over the past 30 plus years , money not always easily found so I will say my piece whatever . It doesnt make me fickle , it makes me a true supporter thats slightly fed up ! All the time Arry was here , we was promised this and that , nothing came but a load of excuses ! If we cant afford these players , dont look at them and make silly offers so you have plenty of excuses at the end of the window . Look at finding the bargains like Newcastle , Everton and BUY them ! I would be happy with us BUYING good young bargains and staying financially sound , but its not the supporters chasing the aces knowing full bloody well , we cant and wont , be able to afford them !!!!! Enough good relatively unknown players have been found , why dont we ever find them ??
Davo
You are not the only " true" supporter fella, I can remember a time when we were truly sh*t and when we were playing in the old second division.
I said propping up the table tongue in cheek, bloody hell, come on, we are TWO games into the season and the transfer window hasnt even closed, yet you have already decided that its going to be a f*****g disaster. Wait and see, wait and see. Utterly pointless posting doom and gloom yet, that doesnt make you a TRUE supporter it just makes you look like a whinger. At least give the club a chance to f**k it all up before you put the boot in, eh?
Super Y*d
Oh, one final thing. IIRC, the club hasnt officially stated that they have been after ANY of the strikers we have been linked with so, to that end, why should the club be kicked for allegedly trying to punch above their weight in making signings that are beyond them?
Sorry mate , but I havent said it will be a disaster . Like you I have been through some rubbishe following Spurs , and will follow them till the day I die where ever we finish . But everybody in football knows when the season starts and when the transfer window ends , and we always seem to have to wait past the first couple of games , then if we are lucky we might get a player in ! Not good practice in any way !Also , I bet there is hardly any spurs fans who dont believe that we need URGENTLY a new striker , for at least the last three years . Also , everyone knows , you have to speculate to accumalate , and with a new striker , we would have been in the CL this year !
Davo
No fella, we would have been in the CL this year if we hadnt dropped points like a flasher drops his trousers. Lets not forget just how much of a points cushion we had last season and how, at one stage we were running neck and neck with the Manc clubs. It was an unforgiveable loss of form that has stuck us in the Europa league competition this season not a lack of strikers. I agree that not getting the players in before the last knockings of the transfer window isnt a good idea but, like i said, we dont have the kind of money other clubs do to throw at players. Its a fact of life that last minute deals get players for less than they are originally up for ( VDV is a good example) and if thats the only way to do business without taking the club into huge debt, so be it, Anything between the start and end of the transfer window has little importance, the real work happens after half a dozen games when players are match fit. We put too much store in getting players in early, even if we had the players we wanted in the first match and had won it AND the WBA game it would prove nothing at all. There are clubs that have flown out of the gates and won both their matches but wont be there abouts at the end of the season, we all know that. I fully respect your point of view but we need to look at things per season and not over the last few. Concentrate on this season and hope that we do get another striker in before the deadline.
Super Y*d
I will keep everything crossed . But its not good for my heart at 52 follwing Spurs
Davo
Being realistic 4th would be good this season gooners 2pts lfc 1pt nufc 3pts are main 3 contenders aint exactly left us behind have they? The season is 2 games in we are definately capable of finishing above these teams it is the final week of transfers we will improve our squad coys

Why doesn't levy use his f*ucking brain and go and pick 2 proven goal scorers one being demba ba 8mill and clint Dempsey 10 mill that's 18 mill for to players that are proven to score at this level
Jake the nutcase
I believe that Ba's clause was upto a certain date, nobody met it, now Newcastle can demand whatever, again another decent striker lost out on!
Glenn
Demba ba clause was only to a champions league team. That counts us out. Thx Harry lol

MORRISON I LOVE YOU
MALAGA GOONER
Wouldn't have had you down for some man love MG
Malaga......look at the league table lol
25 Aug 2012 19:18:34
I think we need either mountiniho or dembele for a bit of creativity and another good goalscorer and we will be flying, otherwise we may be in trouble
25 Aug 2012 19:16:44
Really hope we don't become like Liverpool last season, decent play bit absolutely no final product
25 Aug 2012 19:10:14
At least we are above le arse
Mind the gap!!!
Lol
Check again
Youve played 2 games we have played 1 and were above you you persons
25 Aug 2012 18:25:09
Same as last week, good 1st half but as soon as Lukaku came on he exploited our so called high line with pace and power we always looked as tho' we would let a goal in!
Had a great deal of possession again created chances but struggled to take them.
We desperately need another striker and fast, love Defoe but shoots on site even when others are better placed.
With our high line and lack of converting chances we might struggle against the big teams but lets see.
AVB needs a result and quick otherwise the Spurs faithful will turn
We need a striker of the class of kjh.
We need willian to sign, or the like, to give Lennon some competition. He has been our right wing for 6 years.
We also need AVB not to run such a high line. It cost us big time 2nd half.
Lastly, mr levy, we need you get the signings in. F.ck saving a million here and there. It's costing us.
Our last player who could turn a game on its head with a flash of brilliance was Berba, he has never been replaced.
Siggs seems a better option than vdv now.
I love vdv but he needs a bench roll and too impact the last 20 mins.
The next week will say alot about how our season is gonna pan out and, for once, it won't be decided on the pitch.

Why does everyone disagree with my posts. Morons
Gaz
Because you spout crap gaz.
We have had years of your like on here, giving us secret information.
You lot troll the Internet to repost 'exclusives'
Some of us have had enough
Can't you get it. We gave had many a transfer window of we are signing this player, signing that player.
We don't believe any of it. These transfers never happen.
The like of us 'morons' get wound up by people like you, seeking attention for exclusives. It's all crap.
We ain't interested in stuff you have read on 'itk' sites.
25 Aug 2012 18:08:34
We wont sign anyone world class. we wont get champions league. **** OFF LEVY YOU TIGHT ARSED person
Lol when you change the profanities to 'person' Ed, it doesn't have the same effect lol {Ed008's Note - Didn't change anything lol
25 Aug 2012 17:02:17
Not slating AvB for it
But Ffs a draw against WBA at home ...... Really ? rubbish day .... It also proves today we need definitely someone who can score
As it was benny who did it for us today
I was going to say someone more creative but look at how many chances went by .... I think the creativity is there the prolific goal scoring certainly isn't
Thought it was a great display and unlucky really lukaku deserved a goal
C.O.E
C.o.e. for once I agree with you on both counts. Thought lukaku was immense.
That was what we missed the whole game and I don't think Defoe and ade are it.
Thankyou i wasnt being negative you really played well but you need a striker like lukaku
i still think youll be in the top 4
C.O.E
Lukaku.Another one Levy wouldn't pull up for.
25 Aug 2012 16:57:31
We are going backwards! Gonna be a long long season, just hope we finish in a Europa spot if we're lucky!

Relax fellow spurs fans will you about todays game we played a stormer first half wext brom played a stormer soon as lakaku came on we cant deny west brom had a good game ok fair enough he should of kept on defoe rather bringing on jenas but were one point more den we had last yea,and soon as the window is shut we will have a more settled team next weeks match against norwich we will see a proper settled team.
Have the same issue still that we've had the last couple of seasons, possession without goals.
You say we are one point more then we were last year, yes, but against the teams that got first and second place at the end. We got four points from Newcastle away and West Brom at home last year so we are down 3 points on last year.
The Don
25 Aug 2012 17:07:00
Defoe needs to learn to stand onside! Cost us 2 goals! How can we outplay them with over 70% possession and not win? Played some cracking football yet we go home with 1 point.
McYid
25 Aug 2012 17:06:37
Hope AVB goes for a striker after today. Would hope so really
Just boils down that we need a striker
After match interview on ts, AVB says
'we won't be signing another striker'
It won't be his fault, but if that is the case, he will get maximum one season as our manager.
25 Aug 2012 17:06:30
Well look at that another below par performance, at home and against west brom! I'm so angry at the fact levy the tight C?!t will fight over the odd million for a player whilst we have a lack of strike option Ade and Defoe are not enough today proved that. Whilst AVB chats crap saying oh we played well! Levy sign another world class striker and give us options. Looking forward to eighth already!
What match were you looking at cause i didnt see below par! we played well just that west brom played extremely well second half soon as lakaku came on,our performance wasnt to bad,wait till after the window anyway our team be alot more settled and better
Was a brilliant performance. Some of our football was outstanding! WBA hardly got out their half in first half. 2goals disallowed. We were unlucky. Don't get me wrong i was pissed at the last minute equalizer but that's football and a 1 goal lead is fragile in the prem. You can't knock our performance. Knock the result by all means because i agree I'm not happy with 1-1 at home to WBA. But if we play like that for the rest of the season I'd be satisfied. Don't turn on your team after 2 games. Look at our first 2 games last season? Does that make last season a failure? No. COYS
McYid
Kinda makes last season a failure seeing as no CL and dropping a 10 point lead .... Then again I'm one of 'those' people who see
Negatives with everything .... Like today's performance great but negatives are -2 points .....
25 Aug 2012 16:59:20
Similar start to last season. when will levy stop giving the rest of the league 2 games start ?
Trouble is, we still got the 2 manc teams home and away. This time last season, we didn't.
25 Aug 2012 16:58:05
I am sorry but what the f**k is AVB doing , replacing Defoe with Jenus ?? He isnt fit to wear a Spurs shirt , and he replaces Sandro with Siggy !! Surely siggy for Defoe , yes but want happened to our defencive midfielder for f**ks sake !!
Davo {Ed008's Note - It begins....
Jenas you mean
25 Aug 2012 16:53:13
I think it is going to be a long season!!
{Ed008's Note - Just reminding Spurs fans before I get the "Sack AVB" posts! It's only 2 games in relax judge AVB before christmas.
We cant fault our team tho i was watching it online and west brom played a stormer second half lakuku destroyed our defence we cudnt handle him but its only two games soon as the window is closed we will be more settled like last year
Ed rephrase that .... As technically and pedancticlly it is before Xmas now {Ed008's Note - Lol I blame my phone for that.. But you lot know what I mean give him till christmas mininum.
Ffs stop your moaning.. two games gone..and wait for the window to shut...then have your say

25 Aug 2012 16:11:26
Banter please Ed !
Surely Levy and Avb will see now that we need a super striker . Just like last season 101 chances a game , no goals !! And no more strikers they say . There must be loads of strikers who look at the chances created and wish they have that sort of service ! Please , please get a decent striker !!
Davo
We need a f*****g striker.
25 Aug 2012 16:03:52
really happy with the first half. Playing some great football. Just need to put ball in net now
No good looking supreme , if you dont score is it ! Couldnt get to the game today , its even worse sitting here watching the scores pop up !!!
Davo {Ed008's Note - Assou-Ekotto!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Ed , unlikely scorer but who cares ! Its bloody bad for my heart at my age being a Spurs supporter !

So far the 3 signings made have not been AVB's & I fear our summer spending is over.
If the current team fails fickle fans & pundits will b 1st to criticise AVB which wud b unjust until he has had the chance 2 build his own team.
In addition I hear on here wat a shrewd buisness
Man is but we have missed a trick on Johnson for 12m
When we appear to b trying to sign sum1 4 nearly double that who is unproven in our league & looks good in the fantastic Ukrainian league.
Adam Johnson wouldn't come to spurs. He wants first team football, us, bin dippers even le arse can't guarantee him that.
That's why I think Defoe will throw his toys out of his pram if we sign a no.9.
25 Aug 2012 00:31:53
I think would should have a little look at Benat Etxebarria as Modric's replacement. Classy deep lying playmaker at Betis who can tackle as well. Would also be available at a great price.
24 Aug 2012 23:51:12
Apparently Everton may have signed niang for 2mil surely we should have picked him up for that!
