CityThis spurs business is honestly making me feel a bit sick in the stomach, its really hammering home how far we have fallen. It makes it feel real that we are in that 4th place struggle now....
I find it funny when people who have been banging a certain drum to try and embarrass other fans get their comeuppance. Topreds are in for a really nasty spoonful of something bad this season.
If I wasn't certain of this outcome myself, I would be upset by it (youth talk being mostly nonsense).
Ah that one ok... Yes saw him play against Arsenal though he wasn't at his best that matchIsmaili from Rennais, I'd imagine. Good transfer and touted as a huge talent if I remember correctly.
So champions league finalists and top 4 finishing spurs have made 3 first team additions to their squad this summer but supposedly top 6 side United signing 4 first team players this summer is too far fetched for the Woodward defending fans.
We finished 6th last season and arguably have gone backwards, sideways at the very best so I don't know what you're expecting. No replacements for Lukaku, Herrera & Fellaini. We will be lucky to finish 6th again this season.This spurs business is honestly making me feel a bit sick in the stomach, its really hammering home how far we have fallen.

managers pretty much always big up their youth talents
what else would he say? "I'm not playing our young players because they're crap"
They made zero additions last year, had a net spend of around breakeven, yet have out performed United who have a net spend of around half a billion in that time.So champions league finalists and top 4 finishing spurs have made 3 first team additions to their squad this summer but supposedly top 6 side United signing 4 first team players this summer is too far fetched for the Woodward defending fans.
How sick were you feeling last year when they signed no one, sold someone and got into a champions league final?This spurs business is honestly making me feel a bit sick in the stomach, its really hammering home how far we have fallen.

It's not the bigging up I'm on about, if this is what he's doing though he's deliberately misleading the fans.
The narrative from some fans on here is basically "the United way is playing the young lads.....Ole is going to do that....you fans calling for new signings are clueless, entitled and fake...…"
It'll be funny as hell when Ole is NOT playing the young lads and everyone (including th Topreds themselves) are seething all season about how shite Mata, Matic, Youngy etc are. I wonder if those fans will be willing to eat humble pie and admit that they have been led a merry, naive dance?
No. It depends on how the club is set up. A DOF role is not performed the same in all clubs.A good DOF does the financial negotiations, the CEO simply sets a budget and signs off exceptions
This.They made zero additions last year, had a net spend of around breakeven, yet have put performed United who have a net spend of around half a billion in that time.
So maybe just maybe, spending money doesn’t actually achieve shit, maybe our coaches have a plan in place especially with the kids coming through? Please do feign outrage as spurs, the one team that’s never invested big, invest for the first time.
Pray tell resident naysayers and doom mongers, is it actually as tedious being perpetually negative and critical (about something you can do feck all about anyway), as it it reading about it alllllllll the fecking time on here?
Think that says more about how good of a job Poch did.How sick were you feeling last year when they signed no one, sold someone and got into a champions league final?
Totally forgot about De Ligt.De Ligt....Juve, Lukaku to Inter...lol
Couldn't agree more mate. It was the perfect time for him to move on and make the next big step but Palace priced him out by demanding a ridiculous fee. BizarrePalace are being absolute twats here. Have to feel for Zaha after he has given them so many good years of service, especially since AWB got his move after only a year. Yes Palace picked him back up after he was down and out after spells at us and Cardiff on loan, but he's been there now for almost 6 years in his second spell and has been their talisman ever since he went back. He's more than earned his move, and Palace setting that price on him have been incredibly vindictive to the one player who has genuinely been quality for them. Wtf are they playing at?
What about if he will play them? Will you eat the humble pie?It's not the bigging up I'm on about, if this is what he's doing though he's deliberately misleading the fans.

Good signing for WBA

I must be the toppest top red then because I’m trying to be positiveWhat about if he will play them? Will you eat the humble pie?
Topreds stuff is cringeworthy too. So whoever fancies Ole is a supposed topred?
Of course he won'tWhat about if he will play them? Will you eat the humble pie?

Dunno dude, they had perhaps the best striker in the world, a very good midfield, decent defense, decent keeper and a settled manager. They didnt need to spend, we arent there, no where near it, we have sorted our defence and have prospects in attack but the midfield is so so poor. I dont think we are anything like in a comparable situation where not spending is viable.They made zero additions last year, had a net spend of around breakeven, yet have out performed United who have a net spend of around half a billion in that time.

I think so too.Of course he won't
You should feel bad about that because you're preemptively wrong and being negative is always right!I must be the toppest top red then because I’m trying to be positive
How dare you, you topred!?I must be the toppest top red then because I’m trying to be positive
