I've been trying to get my nephew into Spurs. We're in Australia so he doesn't get to watch many. He was so excited to see the academy players. I think the commentator mentioned Scarlett had been at the club since he was 6 years old. Blew his mind. I think we got him, lads.
We don’t want players who don’t want us. I hate what we have become but you need to stick to your principles. We are Tottenham and we want the players to want us, to be proud to represent us and want to give their all for us! Levy may have made us a laughing stock but we need to make the right choices and sign the right players
@@rickinrio I’m not saying he wouldn’t have been a terrific signing, but we can’t pad the squad with players wanting a big pay cheque who have no intention of giving their all for us. There are loads of players out there who will improve is, just need Levy, Munn and Lange to pull their fingers out
Reference the emotion of watching the academy players on Thursday, what added to the emotion for me, was watching the whole bench, especially the injured senior players celebrate. At the brief moment, it showed a togetherness which is missing from the fan base. Loved it. Really did.
I was at the stadium last night to watch my first competitive Spurs match, I must say what a special, special night and one I will remember for the rest of my life. To see the first senior goals of three young players was incredible and if they end up fulfilling their potential and go on to be great player I can say I was there when they scored their first goal which is great.
I'm envious too, the last game I went to was a home defeat to Ipswich in November, I would have swapped to be at game in a heartbeat. Happy for you though, what a night and proud moment for the youngsters and the team 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Can just imagine how magical the night would have been in the stadium. I was standing up smiling from my couch in Canada seeing the young lads shine on a European night
Delighted for Dane, whether he makes it at spurs or not he has lived with a lot of pressure since the Mourinho hype and must be buzzing to get that goal
If nothing else, this awful period of injuries has brought about a truly wonderful set of moments for us to cherish. Three homegrown scoring debuts in one game. It still feels extraordinary just reading those words as I type them. Something special to savour - thanks as always, Al.
Alisdair, the thing most pundits miss about Angeball is the amount of defensive work required of the forwards. When our front five are playing every game, twice a week, they make more mistakes and they are slower to drop back and defend outside the 18 yard box. Conversely, a key feature of VDV and Romero is their ability to launch attacks. In Ange's upside down world, the front five are key to defence and the back five are key to attacking. It was the same at Celtic, Yokohama and Brisbane Roar. Tottenham can win the Premier League if they stick with Ange. COYS.
Our ownership are a disgrace. They have failed in their responsibility to put a worthy squad together and they have failed to recruit effectively at all levels of the club. This transfer window is nothing short of a joke.
I was in the terraces in the 70's when we went down & watched practically every game in div2 as then...that team was poor, but fans supported them & never whinged like this...
Thanks, Alasdair for the wide-ranging video - and that’s not just your glances away from camera! I was so pleased to see the academy players get significant game time the other night: it is something a lot of us fans have been asking for. The fact that they performed so well was fantastic. It means that there should be more opportunities for all the youngsters in the near future. I was particularly impressed with Scarlett’s contributions and the header for his goal was one that Richy would have been proud to have scored. Great to see Ajayi’s goal and Mikey Moore’s tremendous run and goal at the end. As for incoming transfers I fear that Spurs will most likely be overcharged for player as it is obvious that they are desperate. The repeated cries for help from Ange will have not gone unnoticed by other clubs. Unless someone is going to be able to help the current situation then why throw silly money at someone who in normal times the club would not bother looking at?
@@SeattleSpursFan1882 you should ask yourself the question: why are so many players and managers rejecting Spurs? The answer is very clear: Daniel Levy!
Sort of like the Germans talking about “all the negativity” with the Soviets crossing the Oder and British and Yanks crossing the Rhine. Club is sinking - but keep smiling!
Haven’t watched the video yet Ali but I must admit I think the worst part about all of this mess is that the club offering to spend 60 million meant they had the money for other players the entire time and even then the player (Tel) chose not to come to the club it’s in a way embarrassing. I would like to add, I do agree with a lot of people however we want players who want us.
That's it he's not getting much time on the pitch and at 50+ million is a huge risk. A loan would have been OK, either way as soon as he said I'll have a think about it, it was obvious he wasn't interested.
This is 100% on Levy. If he didn't pussyfoot about in the window as much as he does, maybe some of these players might have been more inclined to sign for us at the start of January, before our embarrassing results to Everton and leciester. I dont think I've ever hated the ownership of this club as much as i do right now.
What a shambles of a window, thats what happens when we leave things late. Thank you as always Ali, look forward to this video. On a positive note, very proud of Moore, Ajayi and Scarlett, hope we can kick on and get a result against Brentford. Cheers Ali
Tomouri would be a brilliant signing. Such a good defender and would be great competition for Romero when he’s back. Fits Ange’s style, English and premier league ready. Hopefully we can kick on and get somebody through the door. So happy for the academy players though. Special talent coming through. Hope you’re well Ali
We don’t even know if Tel is any good, can’t get a game at Bayern, never played in Prem. He doesn’t want to play for us, so don’t want him anyway. Who cares. Move on. What’s annoying is it’s the 31st January.
This could be that feel good moment that turns the club around. This period has been the making of the team, they’ve all been fighting for each other, and the manager.
Dane has got a touch of class, saw it in glimpses when he was at Oxford. I hope this kicks him on, cos he's got the ability to be a spurs striker. Thrilled for him, ayaji and mikey. I thank those three kids for giving us such a big lift last night when it was needed. Hopefully it also shows the Ange out whingers that painful rebuilds can have good moments as well
A very promising talented player will not be promising if he join a team sitting at 15th in the premier league!! With current injuries, Spurs need senior players to boost the defence.
Don't forget Ajayi scored some important goals towards the end of last season for the under-21s en route to winning PL2. He's clearly well thought of at the club.
Maybe I’m crazy but £50 million for Tel didn’t sound good to me anyway! Think we got away with one. I thought the purpose of kids was to find cheaper gems like Udogie, bergval etc - if we start spending 50m on them all like Tel and Gray then we are going to end up in trouble. 50m should be for big signings - Tel has not done enough
Exactly, he's not worth it, but unfortunately when a club has money and is buying in a bit of desperation others put prices up. He's not the finished article either.
No one talks about bringing back Ashley Phillips or manor Solomon, who would fill the positions we need and the paperwork would be easy assuming the loan contract permits it
Made Johnson look like an unproductive luxury, I say we keep playing the young lads, they have the talent and application and will cause certain established Tottenham players to reassess how much they feel able to give for what they get, the old farts need shaming.
It’s worth going back to the All or Nothing clip of Daniel Levy holding a board meeting during the January transfer window. He very casually just says “as we all know, all the action takes place in the last week of the window”, i.e. Levy thinks he shouldn’t do anything for the first 3 weeks of January
Don't understand you saying €25m for Tomori is too expensive. Tomori is 27 so plenty of years left and is an experienced title winning defender. His form has dropped this season but he still looks fit after last season's injury, but has been on the bench for some games. £18 to £21m for an English player is a steal. It's still extremely helpful for us to stack the Association trained quota in the Premier league.
We’re sitting 15th in the league, led by a chairman who pays himself more than any other club owner in the world, yet shows no ambition for success. We have the lowest wage bill in the league, extortionate ticket prices, and zero appeal to top talent. Is it any wonder we’re going backwards? #LevyOut
Me and my dad went to the game but missed the second half thanks to the sodding trains. 4 games I’ve been to this season and trains have let us down for 2. Anyway, we got talking to this guy and it happened to be an academy coach, Ryan Hall. Even weirder was finding out he lives 5 mins from my parents. He was telling us how many decent prospects we have and of course said all the staff agree Moore is the big hope. He said Moore is technically phenomenal. Ryan must have been buzzing at full time.
we need clarity and transparency from the club - if we are spending the maximum we can on players right now they need to explain why that is, because all the publicly available financial data indicates that we are not: lowest wages to revenue ratio, massive threshold before we need to start worrying about PSR. the club is so secretive with their strategy and they show the fans a massive lack of respect in not communicating club strategy or a roadmap for success with us.
These so called high profile rejections could be a blessing in disguise for us . Why do you want someone that doesn't want you . At this level, all of them have the skills & ability, but do they have the heart , the fighting mentality?? Cause that's the subtle difference at this level that wins you titles. Hunger & fighting mentality is what gives you consistency. I'm mean if Mouani and Tell are that gifted , why are their respective clubs willing to let them go ?? I'll tell you why ...... Consistency!!!! You would get 1 or 2 great games out of them in 10 . PSG & Bayern respectively, know this ...
Good evening Mr Giold, Watching those three young players score was really good. For you it must have been a little extra as I'm sure you have covered them since they were 15 lol. This three players shows what playing with no fear brings, Moore goal was special , he didn't have the best of nights yet kept going and his drive and will to score got him his goal, that's all the marks of a great player. With regards to Tel it seems he was using Spurs to bluff BM , an BM called him on it , He was never wanting to leave BM and just throwing his toys out of the pram , If he really wanted first team football he would have join Spurs , he has shown his mindset and he would not fit the group of players that are at Spurs, The window was always going to be hard as players don't have the WC or Euros to play for they can sit and be a sub this season. Spurs will have a good run an these group of players have a point to prove.
A desperate spurs in the last days of the window means we could end up with more players like Werner, what a depressing thought . Ange said in December that the plans where in place for this window , sounds like levy was blowing smoke up Ange’s arse as we are in desperation mode, a leopard doesn’t change there spots
Hi Alastair I have never heard or seen you so downbeat it might be because you are tired or just despondent never the less I always look for the good in spurs I think we will win on Sunday and beat Liverpool in the f a cup on Thursday I believe 🎉so my message to all true spurs fans. IS BELIEVE we can turn this from a negative to a POSITIVE SO WHEN THE LADS COME OUT ON THE FIELD CHEER DON'T JEER PASS THE POSITIVE FEELINGS ON. IT WORKS ❤🎉🎉🎉😊
How long until people look at Lange as the biggest problem. When he wasn't here in Ange's first summer, we actually had a decent window. Since then, the only player over the age of 21 we have bought is Solanke. Lange failed to get Neto, Eze etc over the line. Once Paratici finished his ban, we must sack Lange and re-instate him or get a new Technical Director.
You don't know what you are talking about-the trouble is, none of us does because they tell us nothing, we have no idea what is going on and it doesn't do much good speculating and forming opinions on so little information. Yes , we have no players, that's the bottom line but there could be dozens of different reasons why not, it can be said though that ultimately, levy is the root cause of this fiasco, he is Why we are where we are-which is somewhere no talented players want to come to...
Levy only flew there thinking he could buy tel today for 50mil that would be instalments, then sell him for 100 mil in a year. We don’t need tel, he’s too young, not scored a goal this season & not what you need a in a relegation fight. You need a proven prem goalscorer or if you want a young goal scorer there’s gimenez at feyenoord. Also if you really want a player you agree a deal & pay him a wage that he won’t turn down. Levy got what he deserved, he should be signing players weeks ago.
We all frustrated right now, but my god the negativity around club is mind blowing...nowt wrong with constructive criticism but the gauge of a true supporter is how u support when times are tough...we been stuffed with injuries, got some quality players & a great coach...Wake up & start supporting our club...
If this was being done in the summer I would have said we could be spending £50m+ more wisely on an winger/forward than on a teenager who can’t get many minutes at Bayern but has yet more “potential”. We have so many players with potential and I think we need some more players of the Solanke profile who still have room for improvement but can deliver from day one and have more experience. Let’s hope we see something done before Monday as clearly the money is there.
Also he has a fierce loyalty to Thomas Frank, let's not dwell on how much more functional they are as a football team than we are but it's easy to see why we would seem so unattractive,
Whatever. He was already at a "big club" and couldn't crack the starting lineup. If he's such a talent, why is Bayern willing to let him go? Pain in the ass, perhaps? Not as good as he thinks he is, maybe? I'm going to go out on a limb and say we dodged a bullet here.
Tottenham will always be the fall back option for elite players. Either because they couldn't get their prefered club or they see Spurs as a way to showcase their ability to play in the Prem to 'bigger' clubs i.e. Berbatov to Man Utd. The inconvenient truth for us all is that Daniel Levy does not pay players competitive wages, compared to Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea etc. So until that changes, and it hasn't in 25 years, we will never attract the elite players that are needed to be at the top table on a consistent basis.
I would rather players like moore and donley( once he returns)get a chance rather than spending 50m on Tel. This window is always tough. Feel we should sign a cb and a forward that has premier league experience. Then look at investing properly in the summer
Well done for keeping positive Alisdair & really pleased for the young players who finally got something to look 👀 forward to, the last 16 “ Minutes of the transfer window “ 😮🤞 Even a “Gareth Bale” return would be helpful at the moment, & if Ange sees you doing your Marathon training you could get a call up 😊
The only players you are going to get in January are ones that clubs don't want or where there contract is running out . On top of that Tottenham may not be in Europe next season and is also a very slim chance they may not be in the Premier League . That's a hard sell to any player , no matter what you offer them .
Objectively speaking has there ever been a night more worth celebrating in the history of THFC? 4 academy graduates 3 scoring their first goals in front of the home support to put the club through in Europe. Incredible. 5 or 6(?) teenagers on the pitch. Has there ever been a more fertile period in our history? What’s that, Levy out(?). When asked about his personal satisfaction Ange sidestepped to ‘made in Tottenham’. That’s not management, that’s leadership. Ange is not a coach. Ange Ball is not a tactic it’s effective delegation of authority and fearless leadership Personally I couldn’t give two hoots if some player somewhere doesn’t want to come. Throw the kids in against Brentford and save the legs for Liverpool. Archie and VdV have got this! Up the Spurs!
On the transfer front. Lange and by proxy Levy have backed themselves into a corner due to lack of capable planning and execution. They have had months to plan (prior to the injuries) to identify and work on the right players with interest in coming to Spurs. Then when the injury crisis hit exponentially increasing the need for reinforcements in the first week or at least second of the month they failed miserably!! So as Spurs slump to loss after loss in the league (Ange has some blame due to not using players like Reggie and Djed to give players rest) now players look at us (I’d imagine) as being involved in a relegation battle due to league placing cups aside. So with each players turning us down publicly we are now in a scramble to pay more for lesser targets (again I’d imagine) all in the reality of players in early in Jan would have helped prevent this situation. In summation Lange and Levy have let Ange, the squad, the fans and therefore as a whole down club down by their inability to do their jobs and hiring someone who has failed in role. So where will the repercussions be?? Likely only Ange being booted after Lange and Levy hung him out to dry. Lange and Levy continue to pick up huge pay packets whilst the footballing side of the club suffers.
What annoys me most about the club at the moment is the lack of public leadership above Ange. Lange, Levy or Cullen need to face the press in an open forum and address the issues. Let’s be honest the questions shouldn’t be too hard for them to answer
The last 3 windows it looked as though the club were beginning to operate in a different manner. The most disappointing thing about this window is they way the recruitment team have conducted themselves. The club is now forced to rush and panic buy.
Well, according to Neale Froud above, the 'problem' was that Tel smelled the stench coming from our place in the EPL and turned away in disgust. How would that make it Lange's fault? Oh, wait you say - we have no PROOF of Froud's assertion? Correct! And also have no proof of yours!
Great video as usual. Its disappointing to not bag the players we want but maybe it will, especially after last night, force Ange to play those younger players on the periphery of the first team and maybe just maybe we find the players we need. Coys coys coys coys coys
Tel is rightfully choosing the best path for him - it’s disheartening…but, fine, best of luck. We are hardly in a position to attract any high profile prospects. What I do know is…I see young players who HAVE chosen to be with us, absolutely working their tails off. As frustrating as it is for everyone, because we are desperate for help, I’ll focus attention on those who want to wear the badge. Thank you, Alasdair, for the update. COYS
Bringing anyone now would be a farce. What is the wisdom of buying very young players now whose abilities are not clear and who are probably of the same age as the young talents that Tottenham already has, whose start has been delayed or are being loaned.
Hi Alistair I thought we played well on Thursday we really looked up for it, just found it difficult to put the ball into the net, and i feel don't know if you feel the same, it was having Micky Van Der Ven back it seemed to have given Spurs a confidence to go forward and it was great to see three Academy to score the winning goals
It appears Ange has been sidelined in transfer involvements. Knowing how much he needs more support he would have had them in early and would have had personal discussions with them to make sure they wanted to come.
I doubt they're going for any signings he hasn't authorised and/or requested. But it's wuse to take the heat off him, as he's already got so much on his plate.
I could be wrong so feel free to correct me but don’t Bayern still owe us like 40m euros for Kane ? An u think levy jus decided to select tel because he’s the answer haha, then why not go offer Brentford that 50m for mbuemo or PSV for bakayoko ??? When do we ever just straight pay the fee before the player agreed ?? It’s always the other way around, Its jus another fake visual attempt to sign someone with a money saving attempt bein the main focus, the clubs a joke
Dear Mr. Gold, I would like to ask you whether you believe that Fabio Paratici will resume his work as sports director after his suspension. Thank you for your great work!
Made in Enfield. Was there last night, I was impressed by Sonny's skills on the left, should have been rewarded with a first half goal But the 3 youngsters made up for it. A nice confidence booster, we needed that divine intervention. Shame Alfie wasn't around actually🙂
I’ve seen Dibling in the flesh, he’s good on the ball, not a great passer and clearly has a lot to learn. But hey 17! The players who don’t want to come should be asked why?
I don't think we need permanent transfers for now, unless it's a left back. But get another attacker or defender on loan will help while the others are coming back from injuries
What annoys me is why are we trying to sign players without agreeing personal terms woth the first or atleast gauging that they might be interested in joining. So many times I have been excited to see Spurs agree a fee for a player and then have my hopes destroyed later when I find out he doesn't want to come to Spurs. Should we have not tried to gauge the players interest first? It just smells like desperation
@@YaGetNoLuurrv No players like Romero are who we have to get out the club. Will be back just in time for the next round of Argentina's world cup games like he has been for the last 4 seasons and if he's not fit he will say he is and go any way be out to summer like he has done for 4 seasons lol.

His form has dropped this season but he still looks fit after last season's injury, but has been on the bench for some games. £18 to £21m for an English player is a steal. It's still extremely helpful for us to stack the Association trained quota in the Premier league.
The older you get the more INJURIES you will get
27-31 are prime years for a CB! The man’s been living it good in North Italy the past 3-4 years! He will thrive under Ange’s system
We’re sitting 15th in the league, led by a chairman who pays himself more than any other club owner in the world, yet shows no ambition for success. We have the lowest wage bill in the league, extortionate ticket prices, and zero appeal to top talent. Is it any wonder we’re going backwards? #LevyOut
If Tel wanted to come to spurs at the moment, I would worry there is something wrong with him.
Am so glad to see this notification before my 11 hour flight! Time to relive the moment! What a win - so proud of our own youngsters! COYS
Me and my dad went to the game but missed the second half thanks to the sodding trains. 4 games I’ve been to this season and trains have let us down for 2.
Anyway, we got talking to this guy and it happened to be an academy coach, Ryan Hall. Even weirder was finding out he lives 5 mins from my parents.
He was telling us how many decent prospects we have and of course said all the staff agree Moore is the big hope. He said Moore is technically phenomenal.
Ryan must have been buzzing at full time.
31 days in and only a goalkeeper!! Is this backing a manager!! No..
we need clarity and transparency from the club - if we are spending the maximum we can on players right now they need to explain why that is, because all the publicly available financial data indicates that we are not: lowest wages to revenue ratio, massive threshold before we need to start worrying about PSR. the club is so secretive with their strategy and they show the fans a massive lack of respect in not communicating club strategy or a roadmap for success with us.
Good work ALI you keep things in perspective i
Hi Alasdair thanks for the info thanks for all your hard work take care stay safe
These so called high profile rejections could be a blessing in disguise for us . Why do you want someone that doesn't want you . At this level, all of them have the skills & ability, but do they have the heart , the fighting mentality?? Cause that's the subtle difference at this level that wins you titles. Hunger & fighting mentality is what gives you consistency. I'm mean if Mouani and Tell are that gifted , why are their respective clubs willing to let them go ?? I'll tell you why ......
Consistency!!!! You would get 1 or 2 great games out of them in 10 . PSG & Bayern respectively, know this ...
Good evening Mr Giold,
Watching those three young players score was really good. For you it must have been a little extra as I'm sure you have covered them since they were 15 lol. This three players shows what playing with no fear brings, Moore goal was special , he didn't have the best of nights yet kept going and his drive and will to score got him his goal, that's all the marks of a great player.
With regards to Tel it seems he was using Spurs to bluff BM , an BM called him on it , He was never wanting to leave BM and just throwing his toys out of the pram , If he really wanted first team football he would have join Spurs , he has shown his mindset and he would not fit the group of players that are at Spurs,
The window was always going to be hard as players don't have the WC or Euros to play for they can sit and be a sub this season.
Spurs will have a good run an these group of players have a point to prove.
2 seasons we will be smashing it 🎉
Signing teenagers = lower wages. Hopefully theyll do well. We've been lucky gray and bergvall have fitted in so quickly.
True, but buying the players in the first place might fit into the category of making your own luck.
A desperate spurs in the last days of the window means we could end up with more players like Werner, what a depressing thought . Ange said in December that the plans where in place for this window , sounds like levy was blowing smoke up Ange’s arse as we are in desperation mode, a leopard doesn’t change there spots
Tomori has rejected us too!!
Hi Alastair I have never heard or seen you so downbeat it might be because you are tired or just despondent never the less I always look for the good in spurs I think we will win on Sunday and beat Liverpool in the f a cup on Thursday I believe 🎉so my message to all true spurs fans. IS BELIEVE we can turn this from a negative to a POSITIVE SO WHEN THE LADS COME OUT ON THE FIELD CHEER DON'T JEER PASS THE POSITIVE FEELINGS ON. IT WORKS ❤🎉🎉🎉😊
How long until people look at Lange as the biggest problem. When he wasn't here in Ange's first summer, we actually had a decent window. Since then, the only player over the age of 21 we have bought is Solanke. Lange failed to get Neto, Eze etc over the line. Once Paratici finished his ban, we must sack Lange and re-instate him or get a new Technical Director.
Didn't Lange sign Gerrard as manager for Villa as well..
You don't know what you are talking about-the trouble is, none of us does because they tell us nothing, we have no idea what is going on and it doesn't do much good speculating and forming opinions on so little information. Yes , we have no players, that's the bottom line but there could be dozens of different reasons why not, it can be said though that ultimately, levy is the root cause of this fiasco, he is Why we are where we are-which is somewhere no talented players want to come to...
Lange reports to Levy !! Enough said
Levy only flew there thinking he could buy tel today for 50mil that would be instalments, then sell him for 100 mil in a year. We don’t need tel, he’s too young, not scored a goal this season & not what you need a in a relegation fight. You need a proven prem goalscorer or if you want a young goal scorer there’s gimenez at feyenoord. Also if you really want a player you agree a deal & pay him a wage that he won’t turn down. Levy got what he deserved, he should be signing players weeks ago.
Romero will be ready for the international break.
That is unfair. He is a warrior and he will be back for Anfield. It’s fair to say he has doubts about the chairman’s desire to win but who doesn’t
Muani supposedly rejected us because he wanted CL football. It would be hilarious if Juventus now got knocked out in the play-offs.
And spurs win the euripa. Yes.
Juventus will be in the champions next year. We more than likely will not
We all frustrated right now, but my god the negativity around club is mind blowing...nowt wrong with constructive criticism but the gauge of a true supporter is how u support when times are tough...we been stuffed with injuries, got some quality players & a great coach...Wake up & start supporting our club...
If this was being done in the summer I would have said we could be spending £50m+ more wisely on an winger/forward than on a teenager who can’t get many minutes at Bayern but has yet more “potential”. We have so many players with potential and I think we need some more players of the Solanke profile who still have room for improvement but can deliver from day one and have more experience. Let’s hope we see something done before Monday as clearly the money is there.
Mbuemo?! I can’t even fathom a universe where Brentford would sell him - let alone in January. That’s like their Harry Kane
Also he has a fierce loyalty to Thomas Frank, let's not dwell on how much more functional they are as a football team than we are but it's easy to see why we would seem so unattractive,
At last some reliable news! 👏🏻👏🏻
Probably spoke to Eric Dier and Kane!
Whatever. He was already at a "big club" and couldn't crack the starting lineup. If he's such a talent, why is Bayern willing to let him go? Pain in the ass, perhaps? Not as good as he thinks he is, maybe? I'm going to go out on a limb and say we dodged a bullet here.
This stinks of……. I tried to spend the money 🤷🏻♂️
Another Dybala, Bruno Fernandes saga
We need an international break. Romero will be back straight away
He'll probably injure himself again playing for Argentina 😑😡
If Tel doesn’t want us, then we don’t want him.
Tottenham will always be the fall back option for elite players. Either because they couldn't get their prefered club or they see Spurs as a way to showcase their ability to play in the Prem to 'bigger' clubs i.e. Berbatov to Man Utd. The inconvenient truth for us all is that Daniel Levy does not pay players competitive wages, compared to Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea etc. So until that changes, and it hasn't in 25 years, we will never attract the elite players that are needed to be at the top table on a consistent basis.
He is not the elite player he might think he is but he is not
I would rather players like moore and donley( once he returns)get a chance rather than spending 50m on Tel. This window is always tough. Feel we should sign a cb and a forward that has premier league experience. Then look at investing properly in the summer
Well done for keeping positive Alisdair & really pleased for the young players who finally got something to look 👀 forward to, the last 16
“ Minutes of the transfer
window “ 😮🤞
Even a “Gareth Bale” return would be helpful at the moment, & if Ange sees you doing your Marathon training you could get a call up 😊
The only players you are going to get in January are ones that clubs don't want or where there contract is running out . On top of that Tottenham may not be in Europe next season and is also a very slim chance they may not be in the Premier League . That's a hard sell to any player , no matter what you offer them .
Objectively speaking has there ever been a night more worth celebrating in the history of THFC?
4 academy graduates 3 scoring their first goals in front of the home support to put the club through in Europe. Incredible.
5 or 6(?) teenagers on the pitch. Has there ever been a more fertile period in our history? What’s that, Levy out(?).
When asked about his personal satisfaction Ange sidestepped to ‘made in Tottenham’. That’s not management, that’s leadership. Ange is not a coach. Ange Ball is not a tactic it’s effective delegation of authority and fearless leadership
Personally I couldn’t give two hoots if some player somewhere doesn’t want to come. Throw the kids in against Brentford and save the legs for Liverpool. Archie and VdV have got this! Up the Spurs!
Totally agree.
On the transfer front. Lange and by proxy Levy have backed themselves into a corner due to lack of capable planning and execution.
They have had months to plan (prior to the injuries) to identify and work on the right players with interest in coming to Spurs. Then when the injury crisis hit exponentially increasing the need for reinforcements in the first week or at least second of the month they failed miserably!! So as Spurs slump to loss after loss in the league (Ange has some blame due to not using players like Reggie and Djed to give players rest) now players look at us (I’d imagine) as being involved in a relegation battle due to league placing cups aside.
So with each players turning us down publicly we are now in a scramble to pay more for lesser targets (again I’d imagine) all in the reality of players in early in Jan would have helped prevent this situation.
In summation Lange and Levy have let Ange, the squad, the fans and therefore as a whole down club down by their inability to do their jobs and hiring someone who has failed in role. So where will the repercussions be?? Likely only Ange being booted after Lange and Levy hung him out to dry. Lange and Levy continue to pick up huge pay packets whilst the footballing side of the club suffers.
What annoys me most about the club at the moment is the lack of public leadership above Ange. Lange, Levy or Cullen need to face the press in an open forum and address the issues. Let’s be honest the questions shouldn’t be too hard for them to answer
The last 3 windows it looked as though the club were beginning to operate in a different manner.
The most disappointing thing about this window is they way the recruitment team have conducted themselves. The club is now forced to rush and panic buy.
Well, according to Neale Froud above, the 'problem' was that Tel smelled the stench coming from our place in the EPL and turned away in disgust. How would that make it Lange's fault? Oh, wait you say - we have no PROOF of Froud's
assertion? Correct! And also have no proof of yours!
Another good video mate really pleased for the academy really good goals on the negative side our transfer business is shocking
Great video as usual.
Its disappointing to not bag the players we want but maybe it will, especially after last night, force Ange to play those younger players on the periphery of the first team and maybe just maybe we find the players we need.
Coys coys coys coys coys
Appreciate you Ali
Players were needed a month ago, scurrying around at this point is just for show.
3 goals were all nice, but the 2nd goal his run and 1, X 2 WITH DANE SCARLET AND FINISH WAS LOVELY
Tel is rightfully choosing the best path for him - it’s disheartening…but, fine, best of luck. We are hardly in a position to attract any high profile prospects. What I do know is…I see young players who HAVE chosen to be with us, absolutely working their tails off. As frustrating as it is for everyone, because we are desperate for help, I’ll focus attention on those who want to wear the badge. Thank you, Alasdair, for the update. COYS
Bringing anyone now would be a farce.
What is the wisdom of buying very young players now whose abilities are not clear and who are probably of the same age as the young talents that Tottenham already has, whose start has been delayed or are being loaned.
Maybe missing out on TEL is a blessing,could not go
through another Tanguy Ndombele saga again 😅
Hi Alistair I thought we played well on Thursday we really looked up for it, just found it difficult to put the ball into the net, and i feel don't know if you feel the same, it was having Micky Van Der Ven back it seemed to have given Spurs a confidence to go forward and it was great to see three Academy to score the winning goals
It appears Ange has been sidelined in transfer involvements. Knowing how much he needs more support he would have had them in early and would have had personal discussions with them to make sure they wanted to come.
I doubt they're going for any signings he hasn't authorised and/or requested. But it's wuse to take the heat off him, as he's already got so much on his plate.
I could be wrong so feel free to correct me but don’t Bayern still owe us like 40m euros for Kane ? An u think levy jus decided to select tel because he’s the answer haha, then why not go offer Brentford that 50m for mbuemo or PSV for bakayoko ??? When do we ever just straight pay the fee before the player agreed ?? It’s always the other way around, Its jus another fake visual attempt to sign someone with a money saving attempt bein the main focus, the clubs a joke
So levy flew out to Germany? Funny how in the summer we were told by you and others that levy was "stepping back from transfers"
About as useful a trip as Chamberlain's, pre-WW2.
(Ironic because we are now in a pre-WW3 situation!)
Dear Mr. Gold,
I would like to ask you whether you believe that Fabio Paratici will resume his work as sports director after his suspension.
Thank you for your great work!
Made in Enfield.
Was there last night, I was impressed by Sonny's skills on the left, should have been rewarded with a first half goal
But the 3 youngsters made up for it. A nice confidence booster, we needed that divine intervention. Shame Alfie wasn't around actually🙂
Thanks again for the therapy Ali...I needed it.
100 % AG - 2 x public rejections - @ the very end of the transfer window - why did DL leave it so late????
Id rather our young guns get more game time then give it to some newby who has come in for a radiculous fee who is not yet proven in the league.
Seems like some of the Spurs fans & pundits negativity is dragging the club down....absolutely ridiculous..!!
I’ve seen Dibling in the flesh, he’s good on the ball, not a great passer and clearly has a lot to learn. But hey 17! The players who don’t want to come should be asked why?
The last word on Spurs Lee Mcqueen says it best. It's a crazy train.
I don't think we need permanent transfers for now, unless it's a left back. But get another attacker or defender on loan will help while the others are coming back from injuries
The full squad even when fit is now good enough!!
Apparently Tel told Levy to his face that he was not interested in the club's Skywalk Experience.
One of our own! One of our own! MIKEY MOORE - he’s one of out own ! COYS !!!
It was a very special night🥰
Tomori’s been semi-available from the beginning of the window. We’re going for him only because of Radu’s injury. Damage’s already done.
Reactive approach by levy .. filling in holes with no tarmac
Can you blame top players not wanting to come to spurs even without the curse
What annoys me is why are we trying to sign players without agreeing personal terms woth the first or atleast gauging that they might be interested in joining. So many times I have been excited to see Spurs agree a fee for a player and then have my hopes destroyed later when I find out he doesn't want to come to Spurs. Should we have not tried to gauge the players interest first? It just smells like desperation
The administrators of this club are a disgrace~ February 1 no signings! This club will never win anything.
Good and balanced one Ali . Don’t always agree with you but this was a great one.
Is Ben Davies out of contract in the summer? Feels like the club should be keeping him for at least one more year?
There's an option they're taking.
No, he's the type of player we should be letting go of. He's just an average player, not the type that helps you bring in silverware
@@YaGetNoLuurrv No players like Romero are who we have to get out the club. Will be back just in time for the next round of Argentina's world cup games like he has been for the last 4 seasons and if he's not fit he will say he is and go any way be out to summer like he has done for 4 seasons lol.
@@keithryan3528 So let me get this straight, you believe having more players like Ben Davies will bring silverware instead of players of Romero's level?
@@YaGetNoLuurrv hasn’t let the side down when he has been called upon and he has more love for the shirt than most of the rest of the squad and is apparently a model pro. You need guys like that around the club with a younger playing group.
Its not a surprise that people snub us. I think managers will snub us aswell.
Levy needs to GO. No ambition, no desire no need to make us a football club. He wants to make us a multi sport project for his pocket. Why did we hire Lange? He’s awful genuinely.
