Come on Levy! We have an English striker currently playing in the same city, a proven player in this league who is looking to move!! Just go and get AUSTIN. Because if u don't I can guarantee our opens will
15 Aug 2015 19:40:25
Why oh why can't spurs do there business in the transfer window, before the season starts unless there clueless they must know who they want and who's going, a plan must be in place surely, by the time they sort things out get players in they fit in and gel or acclimatise its Christmas, ten games in and wasted, its like been a turkey at Easter it doesn't work . Our season is always knackered or held back every year for the same reason bad management poor leadership, no forward planning just chaos three Christmases ago we needed a striker to push for champions league we got Dempsey dili dallying again guess who again, can see same old season coming again ground hog day .usually stick up for levy but he's doing it again cocking things up

Could be worse Bobby you could have Ian arye he goes in the pound shop an pays a tenner for everything. Be careful what you wish for.
Only joking good luck for the season

Couldn't get to the game today , how did it go in the midfield? I noticed he started with Dier again as defensive midfielder , did it work and is it going to save us some money?
Also , did Alli get a game?
Any good news to help me get over another dropped two points?
15 Aug 2015 19:15:17
No pace, no creativity. The Stoke fans were horrendous. Havnt seen trouble at a game for a long time!
17 Aug 2015 08:57:58
Once again I will point to NO LEADER ON THE PARK for Spurs! I had 20 squid on 2-0 and all I could think about is if Spurs were going to go on and score a third or fourth, I did not even contemplate Stoke getting a goal as we were that comfortable without being anything but functional and I suspect that's how the players felt thus we desperately need a leader to stop these all to common type of results (loss or draw from a position of strength). The substitutions changed the game full stop, beteleb looked like he was sulking and did nothing but the norm (passed backwards or sideways). Lamela came on and fouled plus tripped over the ball when in attacking 3rd, yep the norm! I don't think it's fair to criticize Dier because he had a decent game, yes I agree we need a defensive midfielder thus replacing him in that position but he wasn't the reason we lost! Dembele was best player on the park and Stoke couldn't get near him! The wide area's are the problem but hopefully Njie will inject some much needed pace moving forward. why deli ally never got on the park I don't know but is in keeping with substitution decisions but let's be clear Spurs once again deserved more from game as Stoke offered nothing more than some huff and puff! I will say that finally the crowed in certain places of stadium tried there best to create an atmosphere but it wasn't great plus I couldn't help but notice there seemed to be plenty of empty seats which is a worry considering it was first home game of the season and on a Saturday!
17 Aug 2015 13:38:53
Stid I stopped betting on spurs games years ago as they are the team that will blow your accas. Also we have no player that gets you off you feet eg bale,ginola gazza even when we had poor teams we always had a player who could change a game. As for empty seats at the lane I don't blame the fans as they are being mugged off we are one of the dearest. Clubs to watch in the country and the players and the board offer us fans nothing
17 Aug 2015 22:03:04
davo and others have posted here that we have a season ticket waiting list of 30,000. They seemed to suggest that the Spurs support was such that we will always fill our stadium( old and new) regardless of whether or not Levy finances a strong team playing good football and challenging strongly for top four. How does this tie up with the empty seats last Saturday at our first home game? Might be no harm to send Mr. levy a message that Us Fans will not accept and be grateful for a second rate team not capable of challenging for top four. Spurs are about football and an attractive winning team is more important then profit for shareholders.
19 Aug 2015 20:56:48
Pauli , my mate has been on the list for ages , and has been told there is 11000 in front of him . He tried to get a ticket for Saturday's game and was told all sold out!
I don't agree we have a second rate team , we just need two or three of the right ones to strengthen us but Levy has a habit of pissing off the other chairman! He has to notice that there are times to bargain , and times to buy!
What Baldini is still doing there drawing a wage is beyond me , the man is a joke!
20 Aug 2015 10:58:28
I don't want to get involved with any one individual as some of what you say I agree with but.
You could easily get a ticket for the Stoke game right up until the cut off point on STUB HUB, we had 3 join our merry band late on in the week. Yes technically it was sold out (ie spurs pocketed revenue for a sell out) but fans were selling there seats by the bucket loads right up until kick off, many obviously didn't manage to thus many empty seats. Just picture this scenario in the new stadium. hold that thought! The season ticket waiting list is nonsense in terms of numbers as many have no intention of taking one if offered, not to mention if they did attending every week. I have friends who come with me to almost every game home and away, they are right at the top of the season ticket waiting list but wouldn't take one when offered, why? They can get a ticket for any game either on stub hub or via a season ticket holder if they can't make it and its cheaper that way plus they don't have pressure of trying to shift ticket if they can't make game. 2 of my merry band picked up a stoke ticket for £30 on Saturday, in the new stadium with more tickets available what do you think will happen to resale prices or empty seats? If you take the example of a fan that's way behind on the waiting list which is due to a lack of loyalty points, I would suggest 8 out of 10 times this fan for whatever reason can't make every Spurs home game (this is not a criticism, we all have different lives and I'm sure they want to but factors prevent them ie family, work). Even if they decide to take season ticket in New stadium will they attend every week? How long will they keep it when they are faced with the reality of the cost compared to picking up tickets on stub hub?
The point to my initial comments 're empty seats on Sat was it should be a concern that we have empty seats especially with the new stadium coming, my concern is not commercial as it will of course generate more revenue ie fans will buy more season tickets! My concern is empty seats and atmosphere, plus playing staff due to the inevitable reduced investment line for "paying off stadium" (I know I know lack of investment I hear you scream, seriously).
For me its not as simple as Spurs are massive, we will fill stadium

Cheers , no where to look now

Super post S.T.i.D. Well structured, well rationalised and hard to argue with. I was not saying that we have a second rate team. The point I was making was, it is a huge assumption that we will always fill the new stadium even if Daniel does not invest in players and we become, at best, a sixth lace team.
15 Aug 2015 17:19:58
Last week we came away with no points as we didn't have a second option up front
This week we throw away a 2 goal lead as Harry Kane went off and our structure collapsed
No 2nd striker has already cost us a potential 3 points.
So frustrated
15 Aug 2015 17:28:13
no team should lose a half time 2 goal lead at home to Stoke just because their striker goes off. Same problems at the back. We need a top class defensive midfielder and all I hear about are wingers ( Bolasie and the Russian) and strikers. Chelsea showed last year that titles are won with a good defence. All the great teams of the past ( with the exception of Barcelona) were founded on a top class defence supported by a good defensive midfielder.
15 Aug 2015 17:29:58
How very spursy.
15 Aug 2015 17:51:10
Its all levys fault how can you go into a season with 1 striker. This man needs to quit the club and take baldini with him. I also don't rate poch either he has done nothing as manager but 1good season with saints and he will do nothing with us either.its the same thing every season finish 5th or 6th win nothing and buy crap after crap levy out now
15 Aug 2015 19:09:45
Pochettino did what Avb used to do, when we have a lead play defensive and protect the lead, or at least try to. This drives me crazy.
Also the wrong subs were used. Why not bring on Alli or even start him, he scores goals.
15 Aug 2015 19:11:42
Pauli, read earlier that we have won our last 74 games at whl when we have gone 2 nil up.
15 Aug 2015 20:13:57
Cognicant, Exactly my point. No way we should have lost a 2 goal lead but I agree with Poch, you cannot blame the Kane substitution. It was down to bad defence and bad midfield protection.
I am also very critical with the mindset. I remember MU teams under Fergie would be three up and tackling
Like their lives depended on it. It is up to the Coach/ Manager to get this do or die attitude ( hunger to win) in to their players. We are too easily turned over. I think we have NO hope of top four. Expect same four as last year plus Pool to finish above us. Realistically, we have done nothing or signed nobody to suggest that we can break in to the top four. One point out of six start does nothing to change my mind on this.
15 Aug 2015 20:34:45
I agree with poch being like avb everytime spurs are 2 or 3 up I know we will blow it. I don't want poch out but I'm not his biggest fan either I didn't understand why spurs didn't go for jurgen klinsmann.
15 Aug 2015 23:37:08
raver quite the change of mood from 11.23am to 17.50 today.
What has Klinsmann accomplished that makes you believe he can be successful in the premier league as a manager. He hasn't changed anything with the U.S. National team.
16 Aug 2015 11:44:34
I think klinsmann has done a good job in the usa. They are one of the top world teams now and play good football and I think he would be great at spurs. All I was saying is when avb left levy should have got a top manager like klinsmann or klopp
16 Aug 2015 12:57:03
To compare what Klopp has done to Klinsmann is like apples and oranges.
The U.S. National team has won nothing and is over rated, just about EVERY time they play against a decent South American or European team they loose.
16 Aug 2015 16:20:48
Yellow, they beat Germany recently!
16 Aug 2015 19:01:25
And they beat Holland the same week
16 Aug 2015 19:16:59
And in a competitive tournament they got knocked out by Jamaica.
So shall we compare international friendlies or competitive tournaments and winning trophies?
17 Aug 2015 02:50:21
Just for the record Spurs did look at klinsmann but he didn't want to leave the U.S. So we have to move on. The Ajax fella FDB we should have got, as he could have attracted the players just on his name in the game, Poch doesn't have that. As said previously chopping & changing managers is not the answer. But this year will be a huge test for Poch. In his defence he hasn't had the backing, surely Stambouli, Fazio, wernt his signings otherwise they'd still be there. I know Fazio is there but we're looking to off load.
17 Aug 2015 13:43:15
Good post Dr frank de Boer would have been a good choice. He will know all the top talent coming through Holland and would have tried to play the spurs way
18 Aug 2015 02:51:13
The jury is already out on Poch 2 games in. Ok away to Manchester United 1st game. Let's face it a point would have been a good result, defeat we'd swallow, but the way we drew the weekend was a mirror image of the previous managers. I still don't think Poch knows his first eleven which is very alarming. All the boo's are 100% right, I love the club & so do the 36,000 other fans that turn up every week. Lamela has to go this window. There's talk about Lennon going I would play him all day long over Lamela (this is Poch fault). What does he see in him, I've watched him very closely over the last 12th months, he has nothing, no pace, no control, no creativity, flaps his arms when he thinks he's in space when he clearly isn't and doesn't get the ball.
18 Aug 2015 19:50:20
Lamela has never looked like an EPL player.
The issue with Lennon, from what little I've seen, is not an on field issue - it's an off the field issue - which one can only make assumptions about at great risk of being an ass.
19 Aug 2015 00:41:32
Lennon is always going out clubbing with his chavvy wannabe rude boy mates. He is an absolute tosser.
