Can't say I've ever heard it either. Not entirely sure when it would ever be appropriate to utilise such a saying tbh.

We don't let our assets go out of contract. I still reckon we'll sell him for a few quid at the end of the season, especially if he wants to start for England B.

I don't imagine anyone other than rafa is picking the team, but that doesn't mean he isn't getting suggestions from above, and potentially paying attention to them.

I have no idea whether Saivet is lying or not. But we've lied to managers about them getting full control in the past, so I don't find it all that preposterous that rafa might take the odd instruction/ bit of guidance from above. I'm just stunned by how well you seem to know Rafa, and how you know exactly what he would or wouldn't do, should his boss ask.

Not sure why it's so accepted that Rafa is a supreme man of principle that would never take direction from above. Sure he's a step up from the Pards & McClarens of this world, but if he was all that principled a man he wouldn't have come here in the first place.

This. Couldn't give a f*** what they look like. They could have 3 legs, 9 fingers per hand or be Quozimodo's brother as long as they give 100% on the pitch. Puff Is that you asking? Soz like, happily married with a few sprogs. All the puffiest puffs have a wife and kids marra

Probably even less likely to score now. No chance of us breaking down a parked bus.

Skrtel still thick as mince but imagine getting a red for that..

/ you'll never be good unless your country significantly changes it's attitude to the sport We could be plenty good in spite of that. Aye you've arl been saying that for about twenty years now. No chance.

which apostrophe

/ you'll never be good unless your country significantly changes it's attitude to the sport

You've got to be kidding. His forehead just stops flat. You put a spirit level on top of his head and I bet you the bubble couldn't be more central.

Aye, hammering it home implies that it needs to be said, when it really shouldn't need to be. This. A banner saying we're not a stepping stone club immediately confirms our status as stepping stone club.

Even this doesn't make sense. Good to know the standard of British sports journalists is still at rock bottom. I'm completely confused, I read the article and it's worded that basically they pay 6 million a year while he's with them. So if it doesn't work out for them, they could go and sell him next summer for say 15 million, and pocket 9 million on the deal while we've only recived 6 million for a player another club were prepared to pay 30 million for. It makes no sense whatsoever ! And this clarification doesn't make any sense either. I think they need to implement a rule that states football clubs need to explain the full details of all player transactions the minute they happen. It's just causing confusion when papers can just make up stuff to paint a good deal as a bad deal or vice versa. In the NFL, everything is made public, from the details of the compensation given (in terms of draft picks traded), the salary the player is on to the bonuses he's paid. The amendment makes sense, it's just being made to seem more complicated than it is. Spurs owe us £30m. They will pay £6m per year. No matter what happens, we will receive that £30m, but if they sell him before his contract is up, the remaining installments could be paid by his new club, should that be how Tottenham negotiate that transfer. Or Tottenham may continue to pay them. Or Tottenham may just lump sum the remaining fee. All stuff that is irrelevant to us. We will receive £30m in the next 5 years (or less).

What the fuck is that shit Did they not stop to think why the fuck we would agree to that? I hate this "Levy always gets the best deal" shite, he doesn't. He's overpaid on a number of players that didn't succeed at Spurs. It has been clarified on Twitter. Spurs would pay us £6m for each year of his contract, but if a club buys him before the 5 years if up, its up to Spurs to pay up the remainder of the money owed when sold. So the same as any installments based transfer that has ever happened then. Daft twats.

Alex McCarthy?! Who? Why!?

I went with good. Very good would've involved signing another Ritchie and signing a less shit striker than Daryl Murphy.

You know much about Doctor Tony's finances like?

And I meant thirty million yes and not 30 pounds before someone who thinks he's clever, or at least try to make himself feel clever, steps in to correct me. Rafa got Mike's word AND he got it in writing? Well I'm sold. Everythings coming up milhouse. Thanks for the ITK.

He's featured for zero minutes of our current campaign. Getting £30m for him was a masterstroke. Have we won the league already? Must have missed that.

You expected us to invest more than what we received for Wini/Townsend/Sissoko in the Championship? Expect? Nah. But why shouldn't we invest at least as much as we've brought in? Because we'd be buying for buying's sake. We've already done enough business. You don't think we could strengthen the team more than we have? Or perhaps have paid a little more and purchased people who aren't Daryl Murphy?
