He does usually talk rubbish when it comes to injuries, but apart from that he is reliable. When he says no more incomings it means no more incomings.
-
It's not just our academy, the same applies to all academies. Focus is on developing the players.
-
Not happening. Smith said again today after the match - no more incomings. There might be couple loans out, that's it. We are done ladies and gentlemen, accept it.
-
They are suffering now, but I bet they will still finish ahead of us this season.
-
Just when he gets his confidence and form back, here comes international break. That's his luck. No doubt he will be benched after the break. The same thing happened last season, he was flying in December then the covid break came in and he was immediately benched for Barkley afterwards.
-
Ings is on £120k He rejected £100k contract offer from Saints to become their top earner. We offered him a bit more and big fee to Southampton, hence it all happend so quickly.
-
Love him or hate him, with Bailey still injured be prepared for another Elghazi showing tomorrow. He will definitely start, I can't see Smith being brave enough to start JPB.
-
Do you know the ages of Fulham players? Were they much older then ours? I am wondering why they looked so much better all over the pitch.
-
Buendia was one of those names. The other one? Who knows...maybe ESR, we will never know.

£250m is one of the highest net spends in the division. The talk from Purslow was always about bringing "sustainable success" to the club. Pumping in £100m every season is hardly sustainable. They took the longer term approach by trying to leverage academy to bring this sustainable success. It might not work out in the end, but it's a decent bet and I am with them on this one.
-
NSWE spent £350m of their own money since promotion (£250m net spend) on transfers. It's easy asking people to be more ambitious when it's not your money.
-
Like it or not we can't compete with the Big6 on transfer fees and wages. While we were criminally neglected and mismanaged for 10 years under Lerner and Dr Tony they pulled too far away. Reality check, this won't be fixed in 3 or 5 years. Place where we can gain competitive advantage is in developing youth and hoping for them to be good enough to elevate us higher up the table. If the above doesn't work, the best we can do is another Leicester (nothing wrong with their model BTW), keep selling your best players and reinvest.
-
You can't realistically expect us to out spend the likes of City, United, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea. We are where we are. Investing in youth, long-term strategy. Be positive.
-
Emi Martinez claims that Grealish is just like right-footed Messi.
-
We are done ladies and gentlemen. Strap in and get ready for the season.
-
Just to add to that, he also got them new stadium that is regarded as the best in the land. They also won a trophy under him (League Cup) while teams like Villa and Everton, that were of similar statue to Spurs when he took over, failed to win anything this century.

Sportswash! - Let’s oil stare at Manchester City!

That's quite funny actually. I'm not sure he tried to be funny there, but Pep dishes out some funny comments sometimes. Like the one on Stan Collymore https://youtu.be/PSqMsG_MwRA -
Not trying to paint any narrative. I only posted it as I found it interesting. Usually you only get positive comments from staff/team members even if the reality is different. For some reason JG couldn’t bring himself to praise Wesley. Stark contrast to his interview just after Watkins joined, where JG was full of praise for how good he is.
-
I remember interview with JG 2 years ago, after Wesley joined. He was asked about Wesley, if he showed in training yet how good a player he is after signing for a record £22m. Usually you get all the praises saying what a good player the new signing is. Yet JG just said he showed "few flashes". That means he didn't impress anybody in training. JG also mentioned that Wesley was always grumpy in training.
-
Well, if he was as good as you describing clubs would be lining up to buy him from us. I don't see anybody queuing outside offering us any decent money for him right now, so what is it? Are all the scouts in Europe blind to the talent you describing?
-
According to the bits of information available out there Barkley loan was £11m (including wages) and Tuanzebe is £5m (also including wages). That explains why Smith felf obliged to play Barkley even when he was clearly not fit and useless.
-
Do you think it's a coincidence that we see this kind of AEG against Barrow but not in the Premier league?
-
It’s not about the ability. It’s about Reputation. Ancelloti might have the same ability as Smith, but Smith won’t attract player like James Rodriguez for example ( who turned out to be shit, but you get my point ).
-
Apart from the wages, West ham are not keen on big wages and the manager is not renown for success internationally either
-
It's not just the lack of European football (which is important in itself) You have things like wages Spurs could offer , location (players like London more then Brum for some reason), managers international reputation ( which Smith has none). Many things are stacked against us.
