I Told You So!

Good evening.

Given the mood in the Spurs camp getting coherent information is a blessing. So a sincere thank you to ‘Mr S’ who kindly shared the news yesterday with us that the boss is going to get some proper support from Levy & Co. This manager isn’t going to be binned on a whim. He was selected for a host of reasons and it is ambitious to suggest that much aside from the poor bar steward’s resources have changed.

Daniel Levy remains behind the Portuguese boss and is ready to give him significant funds to spend in the transfer window.Villas-Boas wants a new left-back, central midfielder and a striker. – Daily Star

Tottenham’s chosen agents have already begun work on trying to lure the club’s top targets to London.

– Daily Mail

CSKA’s Russian Euro 2012 star Alan Dzagoev, 22 – a summer Spurs target – ­remains on Villas-Boas’ shortlist and Roma’s Bosnian Miralem Pjanic, 22, is a name being considered. Daily Star

Andre Villas-Boas will be handed £20million to revive Tottenham’s faltering Champions League ambitions.

– Daily Mail

Nothing leaks unless sanctioned is what we need to understand in relation today’s spoon fed newspapers who are running with Andre Villas-Boas getting not only time but cold hard cash in January.

If I hear booing, it will cause me pain in my soul… I do not think these pessimistic wastrels understand the club as some others do, forgive me for thinking we are a special club but that is what I feel. We might not have won dozens of titles but we have an essence few clubs can rival, I see us as a class removed from the likes of Chelsea fans and West Ham’s vile rabbles, we are slipping down the road, we risk becoming the latest example of the lowest common football supporting denominator!! I expect the boys to rally in the next week. – ‘Mr S’

The latest Spurs podcast is out now!

    .
    Doesn’t 20 million equate as 3 players of approximately mid to upper mid table standard? Or am I missing something?

    • calebray says:

      hopefully yes.
      i am banking on our little strawberry blonde one being a fantastic scout of players.
      thats why levy hired him.
      to bring glory and make a killing- over the next few seasons.
      on a shoestring budget (compared to others)

      but then – i might be missing something…..

    • Bobbles says:

      And here lies the problem. In order for this club to move forward we need to take that £20m and go buy ONE player. Then do the same in the summer.

      Buying and selling £10m ish players every year is geting us nowhere, we’re just shuffling the pack. We need to pull a few aces!

      • Essexian76 says:

        Bobbles,paying out huge sums on players is by no means a guarantee of instant success if you really think about it-ask Liverpool,or perhaps think in terms of Robinho, Shevckenko, Veron,Torres, Berbatov and Keane for that matter-It’s about 11 v 11 and it’s possible under good management to secure good players for reasonable money if you know the world-wide game. Our problem isn’t getting players-it’s more a case of retaining them-as our recent history had proved.

  • harry hater says:

    wooooooooooooooooo that man ITK is sooooooooooo ITK! He just happened to know what everyone of us know’s and that is levy is backing him…? hardly going to come out and say he thinks he is shit and we won’t be spending a penny in the january window!! Harry please answer this for me,, at what point do you say AVB is a fooking muppet and he should go? if we was bottom of the league would you still be singing his praises? cos i understand the other fans like yourself saying he needs time but we was a top four team with a squad of players that should be challenging again but you seem to be happy to be in the top 10 or am i mistaking? cos all the other fans like me believe if you have a squad that is good enough for the top 4 and your a GREAT manager you should be top 4!? you don’t need time to carry something on that wasn’t broke you need time to improve it!?

    • calebray says:

      because we dont have the same squad.
      i can explain it to you but i cant understand it for you.

      • harry hater says:

        And the managers job is……………? explain that!!! or if it is to get a squad of players and keep improving it and NOT make it weaker no need to explain as i UNDERSTAND so you can go and bore some one else now you gary glitter wannabe!

        • calebray says:

          gary glitter wannabe?

          accusing me of writing those songs is fucking unacceptable.

          apology please.

          @harry hater

          I like you on here. I do. What makes this/any blog is the stuff beneath what the blogger publishes. People who are articulate are a blessing. It’s my ambition to eventually be one.

          But you can’t be making humourless Gary Glitter gags. Play the ball not the man.

          Ta.

      • Harry Hotspur says:

        Great idea for a tee shirt that.

        Trouble is, Calebray this harry hater chappie doesn’t want to calm down, doesn’t want to think.

        He’s the type of chappie who thinks Arry could be more than the next Bournemouth manager.

        Oh dear…

      • hoofing says:

        Just stand under it then. Both barrels please.

    • Urbane Sturgeon says:

      .
      I believe Aitch has answered the main thrust of your questions previously. Check back a few posts.

    • Bobspurs says:

      But we are not the same team are we!!?? We have taken Modric and Vdv out of our team! Last year we had 3 genuinely world class players in the side…now we have 1 definite. I very much doubt that AVB was behind those departures…player power rules nowadays. But if you took Rooney and Vidic out of Utd…would they do as well? I seriously doubt it!

      AVB does need time to get the squad together…add to the above losses, that of Kaboul and Parker and Dembele being out for ages, forcing him to play Gallas and Hudds who are blatantly shite slow…and just the sort of player AVB does not want!

      Give the guy a break! He is trying to make the best of a bad situation at the moment, when players come back from injury and he can add in January, we will come good…at least he does not sound like a drunk 2 year old every time i see him do a press conference, and i also doubt he is weaselling around behind the clubs back, trying to get a job with the national team…

      • harry hater says:

        your right Bobspurs we aint the same team, yes Ratboy and VDV have left but we got money for them i believe..? and if man utd sold Rooney and Vidic they would replace them with players of a simaler or better class!!! but AVB bought Dempsey,Sigurdsson and Dembele not to mention Vertonghen, i suppose Dempsey needs time? now i see you said what we all know about Gallas :-) but you also said AVB doesn’t want him! erm…… erm…………. erm………………………… so who is the captain of the side then mate?? i hear you on the Redknapp thing though!!! and thanks for your points as it is nice to know how other people see things :-)

      • half_baked_spuds says:

        I think come January mate you could be changing your view – lets see.

    • Essexian76 says:

      With a squad of players, of whom the best of them wanted out-I do declare-so, for unmpteenth time HH, who would your choice of players have been to replace those who left?-C’mon genius-baited breath and all that.

      • nedkelly says:

        Essex, while you make the odd good point, please stop using fecking -‘s all the time. It makes your posts really hard to understand and easy to pick apart. My point is this – LL cool Laundry is not the type of spurs fan i have alot of time for, but if you are going to get into one with him you need to be concise or he’ll eat you. COYS

  • koko61 says:

    HH ! “You of all people” believing the likes of trash like The Daily Star and the Daily Mail.
    Whatever next :lol:

  • TriniSpurs says:

    You may say I’m deluded but I honestly think we have not been playing too badly despite some poor results. In the context of new manager, system, no modric, vdv, we have been pretty decent. A shame Sigs and Demps have been failures thus far otherwise who knows. We really bossed the game until ade’s sending off so we have been a bit down on our luck too. I can see us going undefeated into january with Dembele coming back. Defoe and Ade together is a must. Upwards and onwards COYS!!

  • Catcher says:

    £20 MILLION wont even get us Moutinho, i dont believe Levy will spend that sort of money on a player, sorry Daniel i am stsrting to get pissed with you, go on prove me wrong, but i wont hold my breath.

    MAYBE ITS TIME FOR A NEW OWNER !!!!!
