Dumb walkout, Girona and Alderweireld
Dumb walkout, Girona and Alderweireld
 |
| Toby Alderweireld could be on his way to Manchester United at last |
It is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
We grow from 11th/12th to 2nd/3rd, we are young and improving, our stated aim is to grow the club with the help of a new stadium to be able to financially compete on a more even playing field with our rivals and the European powerhouses of Real Madrid and Barcelona and some child tries to encourage a walkout after 61 minutes!
They claim to be a supporter, obviously, they are not. Just another plastic, exactly the same as the Chelsea fans labelled with that moniker.
Thank god the individual is blocked and I don't see their idiocy on my Twitter timeline, which has improved immeasurably since I started blocking all the agenda driven anti-Levy Followers.
Give me an adult Spurs fan with some common sense any day.
We played basically an Under-23 side against the Girona 1st XI, did these people not notice that. It showed them they are a level below where they need to get to. It would have been a great exercise for Reo Griffiths or Marcus Edwards to measure themselves.
Youngsters today though want everything now, they don't want to work for it and they don't want to wait.
Toby Alderweireld has burnt his bridges with Pochettino who it would seem does not want him at the club. Apparently the above mention idiots then wish to blame Daniel Levy for selling him, as requested by Pochettino.
Alderweireld does not want to play for Spurs, we all know that. Manchester United are the only side willing to buy him and the World Cup showed there are plenty of centre-backs squally as good as Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen is one of them of course.
He can leave next summer for £25m so he will be leaving whether these fans like it or not. We have squeezed £60m out of United it would seem for a 29-year-old. United, of course, could just go and buy an equally good centre-back and strengthen like all these fans keep telling me they are so it makes not a blind bit of difference whether we sell to them or not.
Fans need to put their ego's away and focus on common sense. Not selling to the only club who will buy is shooting ourselves in the foot, it's cutting our nose off to spite our face.
We need to free up a squad place to be able to bring in a non-homegrown player, take wages off the books that we can re-invest and have some money to spend. Where do people think this mystical journalist generated figure of £150m comes from, a war chest, no, from player sales.
I will repeat, transfers are paid for over the term of a contract in annual instalments, both sales and purchases. Subtract one from the other and you have a profit or a deficit. That affects your transfer budget for the current and future window.
That profit or deficit has to be managed and we are bloody good at it. Our total income is £306m, Man Utd and Man City wage bills are £264m. We simply don't have masses of money to throw at the transfer market, especially with a stadium to pay for.
And before you lot pipe up to tell me we have been told the stadium doesn't affect the playing side, that is ONLY if we stick to our budgets. If we overspend on wages or transfer fees, that money has to come from somewhere, it doesn't grow on trees and isn't just hanging there in thin air.
Income is projected forward and budgets calculated accordingly.
Don'tlike what you hear, well tough,I deal in the reality of the situation, not the fantasy and my opinions are based on reality, not the plastic fans jealous Sugar Daddy fantasy, which is of course against Financial Fair Play anyway and could well see us banned for the UEFA Champions League, like AC Milan were banned from the UEFA Europa League last season..

Could somebody explain the rationale behind last night's game which looked to me to be a bridge too far for our U23's?
I can't believe that their confidence hasn't taken a knock (apologies for double negative).
