Haughtiness is an unattractive quality.
And there are 2 explanations for the deal falling through in the media
1) Agent's fee of £4.8m
2) Players wish to play regularly
If this is right, it's good that we feel able to stand our ground. We will be stronger for this and it ensures players come here for the right reasons
Exactly this and spot on

Chelsea showed this season it only takes an iffy run to miss top 4.
Personally i still think Chelsea have a bit more to do - They need a full back possibly 2 forwards. Terry is aging, Cahill is average etc
Hazard has been good but it took henry, Drogba, Silva etc over aseason to adapt and he's going to want to be playing no matter what.
We'll see what happens but i still think week in week out we'llbe stronger

I'm hoping that it's between us and Chelsea next season. Rags can slide to third.
Marvin said:Do you think Spurs cab be persuaded to sell Bale. Think he'd have to request a transfer to make that happen, and if Bale left, would Adebayor still want to join them?Danamy said:argyle said:Hmmm, underwhelmed by that.
Yeah he had a good season, but it's the first season where he hasn't been injury prone and he's 29.
Plus I doubt he'll come to us, a couple of decent signings by Arsenal and I can see him staying. So it could be a lot of wasted time on him.
Cavani is who I would want, but maybe this is too championship manager of me.
Nothing to do with Champ Manager fella, Cavani is very much on our radar but it's got a lot to do with movement in the market our end.
Spurs must have alternatives to Adebayor?
