Loserpool FC are going down next season

Downing, Carroll, Henderson will never contribute to a top four finish! Your manager can't attract players, fsg won't put up anymore money and your a declining club...go back and talk history

Im in a much more positive frame of mind regarding Tottenham after Bale has accepted a new contract. He is massive for us and no doubt will attract good players by showing his intent by staying at the club. I also believe that Gareth would not have signed if we hadnt got a manager in place, i believe that the manager has already been installed and has started looking for transfer targets. Moving in the right direction again! COYS!

Just goes to show, all 'itk' is crap.
The bale deal been going on for 4 weeks, did any 'itk specialist' have a clue, did they f.ck.
Not a dickey bird mentioned on any so called itk sites.
Stick to to spurs web page for actual facts fellow yidsters ,don't listen to these loners who need attention.

vertonghen deal now looks in limbo, as he will report for pre-season training with ajax.but, gareth bale signing a new improved contract extension makes me think that the chairman has assured the superb winger that a good manager/coach will be appointed in the coming weeks?..so that hopefully rules out andre villas boas!..could it be Guardiola? now that bale has committed for a further 3yrs?!..here's my logic in thinking this..as we all well know abramovich wants success every season, and chelsea is a high pressured job, as for us a champions league spot for the next season or two would be good enough, and build a team that would eventually challenge for honours on a domestic and european front..no pressure!

GET IN, Bale signs new contract, great news for rival fans as Spurs wont get £30million for that very over-rated winger.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Jealous little green eyed monster.

Yeah, I'm sure you would have been furious if your club had paid big money for Bale...not, you mug

Capello an outside shot on being the new man at the helm, i think he would be pretty decent as well hes won it all at club level, when it comes to club football hes dynamite. What do u think?

Believable1 Unbelievable3

How about Frank Ryjikard for Spurs manager? A few have said he's done very well in the few seasons in football management. I have no idea of the style of football he prefers.

Agree2 Disagree0

And we wont have any idea.
they both want ridiculous wages,which rules them out

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance for rijkard, despite what that guy hogg is bleating on about on all the forums. He has one of the biggest contracts in world football with the UAE or something

Agree0 Disagree0

AVB - No thanks!
Vertonghen - No thanks, ponderous, which expalins why we are the only club in for him
Release/sell, the following:
Friedel, way past his best
Gallas, way way past his best
Bassong, woeful
Bentley, even more woeful
Jenas, waste of space
Pinaar, never reproduced Everton form
Corluka, Kransjcar, Saha & Nelsen - all departed
King, released
Rose, needs a change of club
Modric, wants out

Believable1 Unbelievable5

Must be a gooner , sore at not getting Vert and being stuck with Arsen !

Well look at this way we signed Podolski for less money than you will pay for Vertonghen.
Jealous = NO

probably much higher than our new belgian defenders

Why is the silly gooner comparing a defender to a striker ?

Bale just signed a new 4 year deal.
Where are all the sum saying all our best players are leaving.
The summer is looking up fellow yidsters

Believable3 Unbelievable0

In effect he has only been given an extra year and if rumours are correct he is the top wage earner.
Of course he had to offered big money and my guess is that the reason this has happened now is no doubt that other clubs were expressing an interest and again no doubt with HR going and LM making rumblings Levy had to do something. Bale was in the driving seat and he club had no choice.

Agree0 Disagree0

Jeez Levy can't win with some of you lot, damned if he does damned if he doesn't!
In Levy I trust!

Agree2 Disagree0

Wot is the bloke on (above but one poster),
I'm sure you would of been first one screaming if bale wanted out or DL sold him. Like other said, you just cannot win. Some people just have to moan and as spurs fans, they are an embarrassment

You really need to look behind the PR.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well done Levy is all that needs to be said.

Oh, and thank god for that !!

Agree1 Disagree0

What PR is that you are talking about, if you think you know so much more than anyone else tell us!

Agree0 Disagree0

First the goodnews but wait for the not so good. Be sure its coming.

Agree0 Disagree0

Of course Bale deserves his pay rise and yes its a possitive that he has signed .
Now all thats needed is a manager after all I think that pre season starts next week and as anyone thats ever played football pre season is extremely important.

Agree0 Disagree0

Good PR= Bale signs an extended contract.
Now wait for the bad news. I dont know anything but its how orgainsations work

Agree0 Disagree0

What bad news? Modric leaving? We all know thats going to happen anyway, can't see any other "big" players leaving, you need to cheer up mate, glad I don't sit next to you every week!

Now that Allan McGregor has refused to transfer his contract from Rangers to 'newco' we could get a decent keeper for next to nothing. Better option than Ben Foster, Kasper Schmeichal or Fraser Forster who we have been linked with. We could do a lot worse than sign him.

Mr levy is playing fantasy football on ps3 or xbox with our club.no long term plans.
1. Stadium?
2. Manager??
3. When is the last time a player burst through the youth set up
4. stars at the club futures in the balance
5. removed from the stock exchange
6. millions waisted on the olympic stadium bid
7. huge pay outs for sacked managers he hired and fired
8. 1 trophy carling cup since he came to the lane
9. No markee signings fans crave for
10.we are sitting on 1 striker at the mo
so the club has good accounts with a fan base world wide that we have its not hard this man is a joke.Y doesnt he just manage the club it whathes bursting to do with his ego. besides he goes off looking at players
a very peed of mr g

Believable1 Unbelievable4

Staduim we are trying to raise finance!
Manager - Levy wants to appoint the correct one who will take us to the next level. Be Patient!
Youth Plyer - Now you are not thinking - Caulker will be in the first team next year IMO.

I will let someone else fill in the blanks!

The Rabbit

Agree1 Disagree0

Harry Kane, Jake Livermore, Caulker, Naughton...all young players coming through the ranks

Agree0 Disagree0

Rabbit caulker at present is not there playing regular football since levy took over name me more please. I'm speaking in general. You know my points are valid mate

Agree0 Disagree0

Youth players: caulker, Livermore, Ryan mason, Adam smith.....

Rufus

Agree0 Disagree0

Van der Vaart was signed by Levy - pretty surprising move. Adebayor too even though it was only on loan.
I'm getting fed up with all the negativity, it's not even July and some yids are writing off next season already. At least we're not that club down the road - now they have issues.

Agree1 Disagree1

Club down the road? It seems you're talking about Arsenal who have signed 2 marquee players who will definitely improve their squad whilst you idiots are wasting money on getting an average player for 10m and 70k per week. Don't make me laugh.

BthekingB

Agree1 Disagree0

Well they might have signed two players , marquee signings are they . Podolski , played well last season , but failed to many times , and Giroud , the French league is not that good !! We will see , and maybe apologies might have to be passed on !
Davo

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh , by the way Bthe king B , wasnt that long ago all the gooners were saying how good Vert was and how much they would like to sign him , sore losers it sounds like !!
Davo

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't forget Tom Carroll
KB

Agree0 Disagree0

So hes an average player?
and you base this on?
because hes icelandic?
because hes a swansea player?[even though he was on loan fron hoffenhiem]
he doesnt score every week?
this boy can play and would be a very good addition to our starting eleven,with the probability that he will continue improving

Agree0 Disagree0

Would like to reply to BthekingB - marquee signings??? Giroud isn't even a recognised international for France yet - scored 1 goal I believe! I'm guessing Chamakh was a 'marquee' signing too. Like I said, that club down the road has issues. Definitely an issue if you're all getting excited about the signings you've made. They may come good but the last time Podolski signed for a 'big' team he failed. Marquee signings my a*se!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Podolski is the german darren bent, he will be found wanting at a bigger club

Agree0 Disagree0

Is BTheKingB not a liverpool fan? As in bring the king back in Kenny Daglish? He says about atdrnal their squad not our squad..

Modric of to Real Madrid for £20m rougly plus Sahin. Sounds legit. Heard we might be getting Bent back? siggurdson set to sign and Vertonghens deal set to collapse. Looking good accept Vertonghen! thoughts on bent coming back?

No Thanks , injury prone , and useless to boot . If this is the best we can get then we should sign Arrys wife .

I hope I'm wrong and I might just be being negative but I don't think it's worth getting out hopes too high about anything at the moment. It's very optimistic to look at our situation positively at the moment, particularly when it's mostly based on media hype.

Vertonghen isn't a done deal until he's wearing the shirt on the official website. Haven't seen or heard anything official linking us to Sigurdsson, aside from the usual media rabble. Also not convinced that the new manager is or will be sorted early enough. Didn't AVB say himself, halfway through all this speculation, that the links were "all lies"? Haven't seen any reports that convince me the situation has changed and there's no reason to believe AVB will improve us. Modric going clearly won't immediately benefit us because he's the best at what he does and there's absolutely no chance all of the funds will be reinvested.

Hopefully the past few seasons of low expenditure and last minute bargains, despite champions league income, were due to Levy's relationship with Harry, and we'll spend some this summer.

Just saying... :P

With regards to sig, and other transfers in general, once the bbc start reporting it it's pretty reliable. Short of official confirmation, the bbc is always the best. Regarding the avb quotes, how do you know they weren't taken out of context? I saw somewhere that he was actually replying to speculation that he wanted to rule himself out of the running because he's not the only candidate. Also, you say there's no reason to believe AVB will immediatly improve us, but equally there is no reason to believe he won't. Finally, what makes you think there is no chance of reinvesting the modric money?

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh, I agree, the BBC is usually the most reliable for transfer news. Not sure why but anyhoo it's more than likely there is interest. Whether that interest will materialise into transfer, who knows? Personally I don't think there's reason to get too excited, it's all happened before.

The AVB quotes, as with many quotes, certainly could have been taken out of context. I still think it's nothing much more than speculation at the moment. As you say, maybe he's worth a punt, maybe not. I think I preferred the relatively stable top 5 finish we had before.

In terms of the Modric money, when have we ever reinvested all of the money we've received from selling? Berbatov? Carrick? And when have we reinvested in a way that strengthens the club? I think it's highly unlikely if Levy stays put and we intend to march on with the NDP.

Again perhaps I'm being overly negative but the last few transfer windows have given reason to be skeptical. Subconsciously I'm probably just pessimistic for the sake of not wanting to be disappointed. There's no reason new signings or appointments can't be announced before 1st July and the club is pretty much in-limbo at the moment. Everyone around has already begun making improvements. It's not a great position to be in but fans seem to have admirable optimism for the future. If Levy's aspirations to rebuild match those of the fans then it could potentially be the start of a new era of the club's development. I think many have presumed this to be the case. If he doesn't share those aspirations I think we'll be in trouble.

Agree0 Disagree0

I actually agree that we probably won't spend all of it, but we will definately spend a significant portion of it. I misread first time. I personally don't think levy will leave until the stadium is done. It would be more profitable to sell the club with a big new stadium than one with lots of land but no construction. And if it's any consolation if you look on the liverpool page they hate the fact that they move slowly as well, apparently it's not just us!
