midds Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Of all the strikers you went for in Jan who didn't move you're only in a weaker position now which aside from Aguero and Forlan the players are all in a stronger position with their teams. Yes they'll be attractive to the second tier type player but top notch I think not. I never said top notch. Top notch to me indicates world class so obviously that isnt happening. The next tier down like a Cardozo, Lukaku, Falcao, Cavani etc etc will be attainable though provding Levy breaks wage structure. Class players, top notch, whatever. Don't know the ins and outs but I can't see Levy breaking the rules, if he'd wanted too surely Jan would've been the time. Falcao, from what I've seen would be devilish in the Premiership, I think Spurs have suffered from playing Crouch too much this season as like with when he plays for England players look or the direct game when they're better playing the short game. but Levy did try and break the wage structure in january? you think he was bidding over 30m on 3 or 4 players to offer them 50k wage? So if they didn't sign then, why should they sign now? Do you actually read what i write? i said not those top tiers but the next tier down and actually state the players by name. Easy tiger, was only suggesting you are a less attractive option than you were in January. Yeh sorry man. Just re-read the post again and it did seem harsh (you rarely give me stick on here). Of course we're a less attractive option which is why we can totally forget the idea of Rossi, Aguerro etc etc. We need to look at the next tier down and take risks. Saying that, Llorente might still be attainable from the original targets (and Forlan too as he seems to have been frozen out a little). I could be very wrong but the way Redknapp's been talking lately, he just seems so fed up with some of our players. I mean how a player can cost us double figures in points this season alone is frightening. That's why i can't and won't put much blame in Harry this season (except not buying a striker which was a sham tbf). To be honest that means splashing the cash big time, either on wages or transfer fees. Find it hard to believe that Levy would go mad and gamble that much. A more pertinent question would be 'who might leave in search of champions League football?' You've got some excellent players there vdV, Bale, Modric and they're going to want to play at the top. It's going to be a fine balancing act to keep them happy whilst attracting the players needed to get you back in the top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Need to keep it slightly less rigid otherwise we'll never be in Europe again otherwise I totally agree. True, but it is a self fulfilling prophecy. In the past to enter the Big Cup, you had to win your league. One of the main reasons you and we will never win the league again - and, let's face it, unless something Man Cityish happens to us, we won't - is because of the influence of television money on football, and the subsequent financial divides between a small group of clubs and the rest, and the Champions League, with its creation of a small group of clubs which is now so entrenched it hardly ever changes, is a major factor in that. So, basically, the CL format now means you've got more of a chance of getting into Europe, but it also means you've got absolutely zero chance of winning the league, and that's the shame when you look at the bigger picture.

Disco Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Keeping Modric would be priority no.1 if I was Spurs, fucking class since he joined. Still rankles that we failed to buy him. Absolutely brilliant player and a joy to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a truer word spoken & unfortunately what a shame it is and why for one I will never support an English club in Europe aside from all the other dislikable traits they possess.

Ash Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Just got back from Wembley, a good 2nd half. Whitley were lucky to win though, Coalville were the better team by far. Anyway I feel sorry for Barcelona fans. What a fucking shit tip of a stadium they will be coming to for the champions league final. The best part of £1bn Wembley cost and it's fucking awefull. It has nothing on SJP. Christ on a fucking bike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
