". . Joe Lewis isn't willing to invest anymore into the club. . . ."

"Joe Lewis isa . . .money grabbing B*****d. ."

In business, as in life, there are the flagrant exhibitionists with their blingtastic, often superficial ways of displaying their status. Then there are the more considered, thoughtful, strategic players at the same table; people who can shake the tree but do so without show and drama, often with whispers.

This is a metaphor to explain to you that just because a Billionaire doesn't act like a schoolkid in the playground with a loaded gun (or in this case a giant vulgar wad of cash), he isn't necessarily a tight Billionaire. A golden rule in not even particularly intelligent business circles is supply and demand. IF your supplier thinks you have s**t loads of cash, his price goes up. IF your manager walks around saying he'd 'f**king love to sign" that world class player, the price goes up further. Now your average oil drenched Prince of Persia doesn't care, money has no intrinsic value to him, so its sloshed around for fun, amusement. Every player he buys is triple what they're really worth. Because they break those cardinal rules. Wenger on the other hand, has created and perpetuated the myth that Arsenal have no money for £35mil marque signings. So Arsenal pay fairly normal prices for players that Man City and Chelsea would get raped for.

So you tell me, is this age old economic golden rule such a stupid stance to adopt given this is, as you pointed out, such an unstable footballing financial world?

News in bolton press is that spurs will offer either kabol or bassong plus cash for cahill, sounds like a good deal for both teams as bolton can't expect to hold on to him for much longer they would get a replacement and we get the player plus get rid of one of our wantaways

I think Eto'o looks the best he would work perfectly with VDV and the two quick wingers just one problem though i can't see us signing any of these atm.

from what ive heard from Spurs fans, Newspapers and Radio stations that Joe Lewis isn't willing to invest anymore into the club. It looks as though the club will be sold in the next season or two so that's why im concerned about this season as if we do really poorly like mid table or Uefa cup again we could be losing a lot of our players.

we can't afford anyone at the moment and i know you lot will disagree with me but we put in a £9m bid for Hernandez of Parlemo who is a £18-25m player and that became our final bid as if we hoped we would get him, we also turned down Suarez last season because Harry said ''He isn't good enough''. Harry was lying we just couldn't afford him.

You lot will be saying now hold on this is a load of rubbish we tried to sign Agureo last Jan for £35m. Levy did it as a publicity stunt to try and convince the fans that we still have money. we knew it would be rejected as his buy-out clause was £10m more than that.

Don't blame Levy or Harry they can't do anything about it. Joe Lewis on the other hand is a money grabbing B*****d and is looking to profit from the club when he bought it in 2004. He owns way more than Spurs and could put 100's of millions in the club for a season but no he wants to sell us.

you may be think hooray UAE Billions but trust me on this the Pompey and Leeds Owners did exactly the same thing thinking we could make a profit because we have been successful they ended up selling to people who had monumental debts who think that they could get a big profit from owning a big club on the up but misjudging it Pompy, Fa Cup winners and contenders for europe, Leeds, in the Champions League consistently, now look where they are.

that's why i don't think we signed any of those at this point in time and that's why im worrying for our club.

COYS!

Mauro Zarate?
I know i've said this about alot of players but this Argentine is genuinely pure quality.
Harry suggests we need 3 class signings to move us foward as a club. Well after some careful consideration of what type of players we need, i have finally found my 3 signings that would in my opinion improve us.

1) Mauro Zarate
2) Fernando Gago
3) Neven Subotic

Every spurs fan including Ed, reply to this comment and pick your 3. (does not include Leandro)

Azza

Azza doubt subotic . exellent cb bi=ut with dort in cl will he leave plus price is 20-30mpls
I say Zarate is good but etto class lets gethim or else villa doubt it thoh. I think the same scout who got us sandro has spotted lendro so lets have faith in him and get him in . Sell 2 of crouch pav kean defoe then AND
Modric vdv bale azza sandro all STAY.
P.s with king daws and gallas subotc , might not fit so someone like lovren Croatian(hlp keep modric) waht do you say ed

I heard redknapp is looking to sign bendtner from arsenal in an attempt to catch up with his north london rivals {Ed008's Note - That won't go down well with the Spurs fans.

Firstly I would get a centre back who has quality and has played in the prem before, someone like cahill who can hit the ground running. Then, as soon as keane, pav, crouch and dos santos have been sold I would bring in mata, eto and rossi. I know that sounds pretty unrealistic but I think with sales and the cash we already have it could be done, only eto is playing CL. . I think? Rufus.
