The Official Tottenham Hotspur thread [Vol 14]

Tbf transfer season is just clickbait heaven for content creators so I take all of it with a huge pinch of salt, especially as it's Spurs. Last year we were almost definitely certain we were going to sign Eze (we didn't). The year before that it was Zaha (we didn't), I can go on pretty much forever.

So far the only certainty is that we've signed Tel. Rumours that Levy has had an epiphany are just that until I see some real, genuine talent with a Spurs shirt on.

Who does Epiphany play for?

Agreed clickbait is painful.

I won’t link to them all as I’m on my phone but Thomas Frank has done his first interviews for the club. He’s a good operator that you can tell. Wonder if Levy’s words the other day are again all bluster… you want these things Dan as we all day, you’ve got to let the cash flow a bit more. Has Joe Lewis changed his mind about not putting more cash in? I doubt it, I cannot fathom his stance though, how much money do you need at that age?

If we go for Kudos - he could say hello to Van de Ven again

Watching the behind the scenes video of Thomas Frank touring the training ground, he must feel like a lottery winner compared to what he had at Brentford. The facilities are just incredible.

The place is absolutely incredible, and the level of detail was insane, like all the plants are non pollenators so no one suffers with hayfever there.

Did I mention I had a training session there with Ledley King?

Hayfever is a myth.

you realise just how much money there is in premier league football, when you compare to a 'reasonable' championship club like Norwich or Ipswich, its a different world.

the surface for the grass training pitches is unreal

the new Bournemouth training centre looks at similar level

Really enjoyed that, thanks for posting

Not hard to disagree with people when they say our training facilities are up there with the best in the world .

Did I mention we were there with my Eldest for a training session and we got Deli Ali to sign a shirt "Nutmeg king, Deli Ali"

Phillips back from loan
Veliz back from loan

Gentle Ben - new contract extension.

That's going to be it isn't it.
All the puff pieces currently on social media about Frank developing Tel and Bergvall and Donley are just warming us up for the disappointment of not making any decent signings.

I'm beginning to think you may be right. We've been here before, linked with everybody, sign nobody of note.

The good news however is that planning permission for the 4 tower blocks has been accepted so that'll make Levy much happier than any trophy.

All this talk of Frank not being good enough because he hasn't won anything is laughable. We hadn't won anything for 17 years and let's face it, even the managers we brought in who'd won everything previously, failed. I look forward to all our fans blaming Frank when we don't win a trophy this season, instead of the real culprits.

If you want repeatable, sustained success, you need to spend money and our ownership don't seem willing to do that.

Agreed, disappointing we don't seem to be linked or progressing with anyone significant.
