    Cristian Romero

    I agree mate, but it amounts to the same thing in the end, which is that we have a problem in our hands in terms of selling him for a decent amount. Personally I'm okay with him staying, though as @thfcsteff pointed out, it's a bit of a doomed endeavour given he's marked his card with PL refs...

    Cristian Romero

    It's more - no one good wants to pay the price we would probably want, and he won't go to anyone not good enough to merit a move given he's on a high salary here. The ideal for us would be he takes a 50m move to Saudi, but then the second part of that para above applies. He probably wants a...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    I asked about expansion earlier and was told it's physically impossible - whole roof is supported by that pre-tensioned ring, and that would apparently need to be completely dismantled to add any more seats. The economics wouldn't work out given the roof alone cost over a hundred million to...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    And this is why what Simon Jordan said the other day rings so true to me. Jordan is a puffed up c*nt with an overinflated sense of self importance, but Levy's his mate so he has insight there. And he remarked that Levy never 'felt' football - he thought like an accountant, and 25 years of...

    I mean, it helped his country, but still...man has a trashcan for a heart for doing Cabo Verde like that. :p

    Cristian Romero

    Before Vuskovic went, Romero was the clear sacrificial piece, especially since he doesn't seem to want to be here. Problem for him is, no one wants him enough to pay our asking price, yet. He's at the World Cup so maybe things will change when he's back. But if it continues in this way where...

    Rafael Leao

    I honestly wouldn't take either. If Leao can't motivate himself to give a toss at a grand club like Milan, he won't with us, especially with all the temptations of London. And Savinho is too much of a raw and unproven project for me to feel comfortable with him being our left-winger of choice...

    Rafael Leao

    Elite ball carrier when in the mood, not particularly good at much else, is how I can sum him up, having watched him for a bit. He doesn't do much off the ball, and on it, he needs to be on his game to show what he can do. It used to be he was switched on enough to show that regularly, but even...

    Luka Vuskovic

    It's unfortunate he's moving on without us ever having seen him pull a shirt on for us in anger. And I would have liked a higher fee, all things considered. But - the deal we did get, isn't bad. We essentially quadrupled our money on the kid, plus a sell on fee in case he ends up exploding into...

    Rafael Leao

    This is a guess in my part, I'm no ITK. But honestly, think this one will pick up steam in coming weeks. Since the Fernandes deal - because it's how Mendes operates. You buy a good player from him, he makes you buy another one from his stable that isn't so good, who also needs a move. Rafa...

    Sandro Tonali

    It's not exactly a secret that Viv Lewis disliked Levy - that's been the chatter within the club for a while, and enough so that even Ally Gold picked up on it. If you were a billionaire's kid and wanted to spend your trust fund on whatever you wanted, but were blocked by an over-officious...

    Sandro Tonali

    Yes, that definitely plays a part imo. But even if they sold now they'd make 50 to 100 times their initial investment. Remember, they bought in for something like 25m. Beyond that you're in diminishing returns territory where yes, you could double your returns if we get back to where we were...

    Don't tell people about it, thanks. ;)

    Sandro Tonali

    My guess is, Viv Lewis hating Levy and deciding she wants a legacy that isn't 'being Joe Lewis's kid'. If she pulls off a Spurs revival, she'll be remembered as the owner that brought us what Joe couldn't. Guessing that might at least partly explain this largesse.

    Sandro Tonali

    One thing that has personally surprised me is how highly rated de Zerbi is, within the game. It's not just Tonali and Fernandes (and let's be realistic - they're joining because we're paying them the wages players of their level expect). Even little snippets here and there, like City apparently...

    Yeah, saw a Villa fan steaming that they 'qualified for Europe four seasons in a row and won the Europa, and still aren't allowed to match Spurs for spending'. We qualified for Europe 17 seasons out of 20, mate. And won the Europa. We're so used to Europe that it isn't even notable when we...

    R/TheOther14 is a subreddit dedicated to saddos from the rest of the league who rage about the big six, and in particular, us, because we're the 'least deserving' member of that group. The boiling of tinkle on that subreddit today surpasses the surface of the sun. Really, I urge everyone who...

    Mateus Ferdnandes

    This is something we have never, ever done. Act as market makers, not just players. You compete on two levels as a football club - on the pitch, and off it. One of the ways clubs hobble their opponents off the pitch is by acting early to either inflate the market for their competition, or...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Like I said, not like we need the money anyway. We didn't go into this summer planning to sell Bergvall of Vuskovic, it just turned out that way. We have our valuation for clubs other than Forest, and we will hopefully have one for Forest that is 50% higher than the non-Forest one. If no one...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Not quite. Yes people act in their own interests, yes it's an alpha sport and industry. But both those things mean we have leverage we'd leave on the table if we accepted a reasonable offer from Forest. Fact is, they fudged us over last year, because their owner couldn't stand being seen to...
