The Tottenham Thread 12/13

Speaker said:
I would be highly surprised if the prize money, gate receipts, and increase in merchandise sales comes anywhere close to your initial outlay. Comparing it to Spurs who in a season sold £100m worth of playing staff, and replaced them with £70m of playing staff is ridiculous. Arguably, the value of your squad increased by £400m, whereas ours dropped by £30m in a comparative period. They are in no way comparable.

Ironically I see that Talkshite are now talking about "Tottenham's new found riches" because we've spent £23m so far this summer, even though we've sold £15m worth of players already. I'm seriously starting to think that If your name is not Man Utd, then the media only think you're playing fair if you sign people on a free.

Rumour has it we've sold/are in the process of selling 25% of the club to PSGs owners for £230m. Almost pays for the stadium which is nice :) Makes our valuation about £920m though, which to be honest, looks way off. Thought we'd be more £500m at most tbh. Still, Levy has an incredible knack at taking people's money.
It was never mean't to compare and the original post had nothing to with anything you are talking about. You've took it way off tangent as you somehow became all precious about some of the figures I quoted.

I tell you what, I'll talk net spend when every man and his dog do the same about our club instead of just quoting the 'Billion' bollocks. That fair?

PS. When did you sell 100 mil worth of playing staff and bring 70 mil worth in?
 
This really hasn't got anything to do with this thread as such so I will refrain from answering any questions on the matter. But!

Why do Spurs fans ALWAYS come across so fucking Smug?

cheers

:)

In my experience that applies mainly to the Hertfordshire and Essex based Spurs fans, and the majority of those who post on football forums. I have met many Spurs fans from London and found them to be perfectly fine.

Because they always do things 'the right way' lol, I mean, it's not like being connected to multi-billionaires opens doors that wouldn't be an option for others or anything is it lmao.
 
According to the BBC there's a quote in one of the tabloids from Sigurdson saying he went to Spurs to win trophies. He'll get a great receiption at Anfield after that statement! Passed up the chance of the Carling Cup holders to go to a club most will probably predict to finish outside the top 4, and says he did it to win stuff.

I have to admit, I liked what I saw of him as a player. Not sure he'll really move Spurs on a lot, but he certainly won't hold them back.
 
Any truth of spurs takeover or is it BS as always ?

No idea why sigurdsson chose spurs , i rate liverpool as much as spurs , both will target top 4 this year and are as much likely to finish in it as each other(top 3 of us , rags and chelsea) , he had a chance to work with rodgers which he passed up , truth is its money as it has always been
 
Sigurdsson, like most footballers, is a mercernary. He followed the money. Nowt wrong with that but it will be funny to hear what Spurs fans have to say about this. After all, Spurs forums are full of posts criticising our players, referring to them as 'mercenaries' (including Adebayor) - as if that made them different to most other footballers.
 
When our turnover gets towards £250 million and we start making money what will be these fans of other clubs moan about then?

We will be a legitimate money making business within 3 more seasons,speculate to accumulate is what MCFC's owners are doing.

nobody at all can then say anything,we will reel in Chelsea and leave them in our slipstream showing who has the best model of how to run a football club with good investment.

if spurs spend money after taken over by the americans and arsenal by the russian who already holds some shares? , they will justify it

What is best is to ignore them , we just shouldn't care about those hypocrites
