After raiding Southhampton's academy for Bale, they did give him a chance. Then they spent about 18 months trying to flog him to anyone who'd take him off their hands. They couldn't get rid so they stuck with him and then he started performing.
Typical revisionist history from Spurs fans. You tried and failed to sell him. You kept with him because you didn't have a choice.
Just seems funny to call your record signing The Cock but each to their own I guess. If it was Kyle Walker I could understand it but then I guess it would be something stronger like El C*ntoFrostyNRG said:GornikDaze said:I presume you are joking?
Not at all joking. Why do you think that?

As is usually the case in these type of arguments, the truth is somewhere in the middle. We did not spend 18 months trying to flog him at all. There was certainly a point where it was thought he might benefit from a loan somewhere else, and I believe there was a point when we considered trying to sell him. To the best of my knowledge, nothing was ever actioned though.

Sorry I thought it was just THFC with the sense of humour by pass - I will try to be more serious in futureFrostyNRG said:GornikDaze said:Just seems funny to call your record signing The Cock but each to their own I guess.

Not sure if you are serious or trying to be funny. But it's not what we decided to call him. It's a nickname he's had since he played in Argentina.

I've never managed a ;-) out of your mate!!FrostyNRG said:GornikDaze said:Sorry I thought it was just THFC with the sense of humour by pass - I will try to be more serious in future
Nope, it's all of us I'm afraid. We have to have them removed when we apply for season tickets. For my part, I will try to interpret your attempts at humour much better, and try to remember that you're not very good at the jokes. ;-)
To be fair, in the first instance I thought you were genuinely asking if I was serious about Lamela not playing in our game.

So why won't Lamela be playing then?
