TrentVilla Posted August 17, 2020 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2020 Just now, sne said: Joe Hart? Sweet signing dudes I get the domestic players thing that they need to address but still. Levy will sell him for £8m in a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Quality signing He may not have been good enough for either Torino or Burnley but i'm sure he can do a fine job at Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be backup keeper. Not the worst player to have in the dressing room tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 For a backup/cup keeper it seems ok to me. Levy will certainly turn a profit next summer or the summer after when they sell him so it’s win win.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I can’t see them being able to splash much cash about in this window. That stadium still needs paying for as it will likely become a dead weight around their neck. There were grand plans to let the NFL use it and to host boxing. There’s no match day revenue coming in, nobody is paying £15 for a pint and 20g of smoked applewood. Unless they sell some of their stars, I’d expect Mourinho won’t have much to get excited about when he opens Levy’s war chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the impact of lose of match day revenue isn’t evenly felt by all clubs, Spurs will be one of the worst affected for the reasons you say plus loss of CL.

It's Your Round Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Whilst I know what I’m about to say is unrealistic right now, but I’d love for Villa‘s and Spurs’ trajectories to cross again in a few years. Like it used to be when we were better than them. Mostly so we can start lowballing Levy for his best players. That would make me happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be getting to a point where he wants to win something before his best years are behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put Levy in charge and Lerner hires Faulkner... the rest is history. Obviously lots of other factors but goes to show the importance of recruitment at at the senior level of the club. The job Levy has done at Spurs is simply incredible and without rival in my view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the major euro teams then Aguero will be 33 next summer (and talks of going back to Argentina), Real Madrid have Benzema who'll be 34, Ronaldo 36 and Barca will have Suarez at 34. Even Lewandowski is in his 30s now although no need to sell him. Going to be loads of options for Kane who'll be 28 and could well be top scorer at the euros so think he'll have a Van Persie style dilemma.

Summer 2010 was a crucial point. At the time they were only marginally ahead of us but had a very decent squad. Ours was ageing and our only signing was Ireland for Milner. And then we lost MON. Spurs signed Van Der Vaart. I do think they'll drop a bit over next few years, can certainly see them being in 7th-10th range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer 2009 was the crucial one, we should have replaced O’Neill rather than back him as I advocated at the time. I’m convinced Levy would have done so.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get them CL (even though they finished 4th) so let him go although in the short run they went backwards under Vilas-Boas. Getting Pochettino in 2014 was one of the best managerial moves by a premier league club in last 20 years imo even if he didn't win anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be priced out of a move Same with neymar and mbappe when they're linked to real Madrid every summer, if psg don't want to sell then they aren't leaving I think there are going to be a growing number of invaluable players in football and kane for spurs will be on that list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
