THFC, can Spurs technically field a first 11 which cost more to assemble than City, Chelsea or United? If the expected signings come off anyway. Maybe not City/Chelsea but surely United?
 
It is clearly worth more than the Rags starting 11:

De Gea (free)
Rafael (free)
Jones (academy)
Ferdinand (academy)
Evra (free)
Zidane Cleverly (academy)
Carrick (free loan from Spuds)
Kagawa (local lad)
Rooney (free)
Van Persie (academy)
Valencia (free)


City's by comparison:

Hart (£100m after bonus payments)
Zab (£50m)
Kompany (£100m)
Nastasic (£30m)
Clichy (£Emirates Stadium cost)
Yaya (£300m a week)
Fernandinho (£300m more than he shouldve cost)
Silva (£His weight in gold)
Navas (£More than Jesus)
Aguero (£1billion)
Dzeko (£100m per goal)
 
This really is getting childish now. He barely has time to answer back on one point before he's lambasted from a dozen new angles. He's been wrong about Bale moving and the stage at Madrid this summer but posters on here have clearly been wrong about Levy pocketing the money.

He doesn't do himself any favours with the charts, graphs and reserve line ups but it's got to the stage where he can't defend himself without being threatened with a ban.

Last night's constant piss taking because he lives in Israel and rarely attends games is pathetic. I live in Hull and can't watch City more than half a dozen times a season. Jimharri in Ireland, Lucky Toma in Wales, Paphos-mcfc, Foetus, Wooderbeen and Pominoz all have a similar situation but nobody turns on us about it.

I've been guilty of taking the piss out of 0161 myself when I did the mock chart but a line needs to be drawn. Less boring shite about Spurs from him, less ganging up from City fans.

I think Spurs are going to be right up there this year, the talent in their squad if they complete these signings is quite scary. Very good window for them especially they had a good team already.. Could this be the year they force Arsenal out of the top 4?

Think you're under estimating them. They arn't going for top 4 thats for sure not with the quality of this Spurs squad. They have enough depth to win it all.

I take your point Kev, but I still reckon he's lasted longer than any of us would do on a Spurs forum.
In fact he's probably gone longer on this forum without a ban than I have.
Which I concede isn't difficult.

Every fucker's lasted longer on this forum without a ban than you have! ;)

All good sentiments, Kev, however what I think needs pointing out is that there are very few other fans forums out there that would a.) even allow threads about another team and, most pertinently, b.) not have banned, by now, a fan of an opposition team who posts lies about their own club and takes a pop at the club who's forum it is, which is what has happened and why THFC0161 is treated as the Cockney WorsleyWeb.

It's also laughable that Crouchinho gets away with telling mods on a City forum how to run the site when another Spud is rightly getting shit for being a monumental dick.

But hey, I'm just a City fan on a City forum who thinks Cockney WUM's being given their own thread is a fucking liberty, but there we are.

I've never told a mod what to do before. I've mentioned I think it's unfair the shite he gets and the disruption it causes amongst all the sensible posting. For every decent post there is about 12 continuous loops of arguments
 
For those of you interested in such things, Vlad Chiriches transfer fee was reported to be Euro 9.5m, which at today's exchange rates works-out at around £8,114,000.
 
Spurs have drawn Anzhi Makhachkala, Sheriff Tiraspol and Tromsø in the UEFA Europa League Group Stage.

We really shouldn't have too many problems, apart from the amount of travel involved.

Our current squad is certainly strong enough to field very respectable teams in the UEFA Europa League this season, without it effecting the performance of the first choice XI for Premier League matches.

And if that's not enough, we've got plenty of talented U21s who can pitch-in too.

Very much a boom or bust signing.

City have experience of signing young, Eastern European, full international defenders, in the past few seasons we've signed Matja Nastasic and Sefan Savic, one has proven to be a real success, the other was out of his depth and can legitimately be labelled a failure. This Chiriches fellow has the potential to be either. The thing that will take him longest to adapt to will be the speed and quality of the Premier League, which I think was the issue Savic had. Nastasic came to us off the back of a successful season in Seria A with Fiorentina, Savic had only played at the top in Serbia with Partizan Belgrade, the difference was definitely noticeable. Chiriches has only played in his native Romania so the English league will come as a real surprise to him.<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 30, 2013 2:28 pm --<br /><br />

Spurs should walk that league. Anzhi are a shadow of the side that actually qualified for the Europa League, Sheriff hail from that footballing hotbed of Armenia and Tromsø are only still in the competition because Besiktas were thrown out. A couple of lengthy trips to Eastern Europe, but that aside it couldn't have been much easier for Spurs.

Yes, that's very fair comment.

Just as a matter of interest, here are a couple of XIs Spurs could field (assuming Eriksen & Lamela go through) without placing too much emphasis on which players might be in the stronger of the two teams...

...I think most would probably agree that it's as strong an overall squad as you're likely to find in the Premier League at the moment.

It's certainly the strongest Spurs squad I've ever seen since I first started supporting the club in the mid-1960s.

It's a very strong squad indeed (although I'd have thought the Willian situation would have tempered your predictions of future signings!). I still think, overall, City's squad, and Chelsea's squad, are stronger, and that United have that inate ability to over achieve on a regular basis. Spurs will be a lot closer to the top 3 than people thought a month or so ago, but I still think it's 4th place they'll attain. Lets not forget, that's a lot of new players to try and meld into a team all at once, there will be teething problems. Arsenal shouldn't be any real worry for Spurs though, I see the Spurs squad as being far superior to the Arsenal one. If Spurs fail to make the top 4 this season it will be a complete failure.

Kaboul & Vertonghen both started Tottenham's last game as the central defence partnership.<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 30, 2013 5:03 pm --<br /><br />We are delighted to announce that we've reached agreement with AS Roma for the transfer of Erik Lamela

Nice.

Just Christan Eriksen to go now.

Little tip here for you thfc6061

If you replied something like
"I did actually mention in my previous post that I was not placing to much emphasis on which player might be stronger"

Instead you have to try to belittle posters with your condescending attitude you annoy the fuck out of most of the posters on this thread with your attitude and as a adult I would expect better. You are not some 18 year old spotty keyboard warrior and should know better Ever heard the saying treat people as you wish to be treated yourself ?

I do not expect a reply because like you have done throughout the thread is cherry pick your replies It is a shame that you are actually forcing blues to stop enjoying there own forum I for one will leave this thread until you get a ban (which I have a feeling isn't to far away)

When that happens I will return and talk about Spurs and the quality squad they seem to be building Until then goodbye

and PS FUCK OFF
