According to reports -

Tottenham battle Dortmund for Brazilian wonderkid Bernard and also line up move for Fulham's Kacaniklic.

Knowing our esteemed leader, which do you think will happen? Answer - neither. Levy won't spent the money needed to get Bernard so that only leaves Kacaniklic. I can see it now. Headlines at 10:59pm on the 31st August will read Tottenham agree deal with Fulham for £2m plus Tommy the Hudd, but Huddlestone fails medical again as window "slams shut!" Levy spouts his trusted "I tried" routine and we get midfield injuries during first few games costing us precious dropped points against west ham or Sunderland etc.

Your thoughts please.

So true flippit, are you sure this hasn't happened before?
Come the last day, it will be the same b/s that we have had season after season!
Just for once it would be nice to tie up our targets ( realistic ones is all we can hope for ) before the ref blows his whistle for the kick off in our first match!

There won't be any deadline deals. Business will commence from july onwards. AVB is manager and baldini technical director they aren't going to mess about with last minute signings unless forced to. Tottenham aren't in champions league so will be better if we sign players a. s. a. p before other teams do. We will leave deadline day for Qpr.

You hope! A leopard never changes it spots, nor will levy!
Last minute, bargain basement buys and loads of excuses again!

Hopefully avb can unearth some gems on cheap, I have serious doubt whenever I see us being linked to 20 or 30m players, not going to happen

We have to spend big this season. we need a new LB, cm, a wing forward and two new strikers. levys tightness has to stop. LEDLEY SHERINGHAM

Davo, having someone to blame is easy and you think your comments are going to get spurs anywhere? You say you support Tottenham? Well Tottenham consists of the people at the very top all the way down to the ball boys. Like everyone your opinion is as welcome as the next person but the way you bang on over and over makes you sound like a preacher. Shoving it down people's throats until you get some followers.

Yes Levy has made mistakes, but what has he done to improve us? We are a genuine top 6 club now, thanks to Levy. We are looking at a new stadium in the not to distant future, which thanks to his business smarts seems like it won't do much damage to us financially. He made a very bold move in replacing a loved, fan favourite in 'arry for a manager I see as the best manager we have had since the Epl started.

Your right though he should do as you say, let's buy another Bent. I'm sure there's a few Bentlys left for us to waste our money on. He may have cost us but think about what he may have saved us by not buying any man and his dog just to please the fans.

This is not a personal attack just hoping you might change the record based on this comment because seriously the song is getting well out dated.

Many thanks!

Davo, believe me, all will change in a few weeks time. Baldini and AvB know exactly who they're after. All in good time my friend. all in good time.

IMO, jury still out on AVB; he had a very small squad to play with and usually not much choice about who played where. Bale ended up roaming around up-top almost permanently as much because we had no strikers as anything else i'm sure. I like what I've seen, after the initial slow start we seemed to get it together. We did drop ridiculous points to two of the relegated teams and the Liverpool loss was criminal (and the manner of Everton away).
Away record finally something to be pleased about but, as usual with Spurs, they find a way to drop more at home to beatable sides instead!
Levy; we've been burnt by Bent, Bentley even Pavlyuchenko so right to be guarded about going nuts. The ultimate reason for our falling short for two years now has been transfer failings and not having quite enough to get us over the line, two Januarys passed to see mid-season that needed to be rectified as well. If we do not bring in a quality striker and creative midfielder/attacker at least then we/he will have done it yet again. Europa league will kill us yet again if we don't have a bigger squad or just use kids for it.
Let's see.

Many thanks, ( strange name but then so is Davo )
Yes, levy has done a lot for my beloved team, but his refusal to speculate has cost us CL the last two seasons! We only needed a top notch striker and that would have made the difference! We don't need him to pay over the odds, there are good players waiting to be found, Michu, Bentenke, for the right price!
As for these being only my comments, I think quite a few people have expressed their feelings about his royal tightness, last season, the season before, and funnily enough, on this page in the last week! let's be grateful we have a banter site to express our thoughts, rather than it being done from the terraces! Final thing, I was grateful when he got rid of Arry, and I believe we potentially have one of the best in the PL now.

Davo, first off much respect for not taking my comments the wrong way as I seriously mean no offence in my comments.
That being said I do think you still need to look at the bigger picture. Yes Levy could've signed another striker I don't disagree with this but how many of us knew Benteke and Michu would be such a big hit? If we had signed either people would've moaned it was a typical levy purchase, bargin bin! So I don't think they would've fallen into the category of "top notch".
So next option would've been to sign a big name or a young promising striker, so for example Ade or Postiga. Now Ade didn't do it so big name equals massive fail. Postiga didn't live up to expectations so again massive fail. So if you consider that neither player would propel us into cl then what option did we have? IMO it was to play some of the young promising strikers we already have, which we chose not to for whatever reason.

Next point you mention is about it only being your opinion, which is not what I said but maybe I wasn't clear enough. My point was that you go on about it repeatedly and feels to me like you want people to follow this notion that Levy is to blame even though it's not necessarily the case. (AVB is to blame for not giving our younger strikers a chance, not even on the bench, strange).

The 'Arry situation was a great move like I stated but you can't deny the general feeling was that AVB was a huge risk so like I said before, a very bold move by Levy.

All that said though I do understand your frustration with Levy but think you need to consider the whole picture. Spending money would not have garenteed us cl by any means, maybe just meant we had another 3/4 players on our books sucking up there wages till they can leave on a free.

Many thanks (not a name just a sign off, your comment made me chuckle though)

Maybe Levy brought in AVB partly as he's more of a yes-man than Harry and needed a route back into management so wasn't going to demand a big transfer fund? He had a good record with potential before the poisoned Chelski chalice so, he probably got him on the relative cheap as well? Those are the kind of balanced 'risks' that levy will be prepared to take.
