isaac rosenberg Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I see in The Sunday Times that Daniel Levy (apparently their chairman ?) has had his private plane confiscated by Icelandic creditors. Since the only thing I ever read about Spurs these days concerns players and their agents laughing uncontrollably when asked to sign for them, this explained a lot. Their club accounts were probably in Icesave. Maybe there are some good players up on the volcanic lava there, kicking around between the geysers. I won't make any jokes linking Somersetspur with sudden gushes of hot air, that would be unkind. We used to have Gudjonsson: he wasn't bad. Reading just got rid of one or two Vikings: perhaps Spurs could make a bid for them ? Dawson's heading would probably improve if he had a horned helmet on his head instead of that Toblerone. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midfield Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I've lost count of the number of players (good, bad and indifferent) that the spuds have been "linked" with so far this summer. I reckon they have about 10 teams in the pipeline! Poor old Sp**s - always good for a laugh! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midfield Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Picked tis up off a football website... Tottenham could bolster their midfield with Toulouse pair Etienne Capoue and Moussa Sissokho. Both youngsters have been tipped to reach the top of the game in the near future. Better keep clear of Spurs then! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaac rosenberg Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Wonderful. A stick insect to go with Toblerone Head and the Sheffield United hoofers. I'm surprised you haven't put in a bid for Stonebridge. I know he's not good enough for Truro City, but you lot let him slip through your fingers once before; surely not twice ! I think you've never been the same since you let Dave Mackay leave for Derby County. He's only about 106: ask Matron to lend you the phone and give him a call ! Now your old Somerset room-mate Harry Patch has passed away, he's your best bet. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangle Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Do you know what, looking back to this time last year, with Spurs new signings and terrific pre-season form, I thought you would be up there right in the mix. And then look what happened. This year, your signings are hardly earth shattering, and yet I strangely feel that Spurs will be strong. I hope that's the kiss of death to your season, but I don't think it is. Still a long way to go in the transfer market..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac rosenberg Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sorry, S.S., don't understand you. Three punctuation errors in two lines must be some kind of record. Glad you didn't connect Harry's phone: he'd keep getting a crossed line with Pleat's prostitutes. Blue noses win Real Cups at Wembley. Has the draw for the Pub Trophy been made yet ? Could be a tricky defence at Darlington coming up for you, or will it be Lincoln City ? Last time I bothered to watch you was at Brisbane Road in the very same competition. Falco, Hoddle and Waddle went down 2-0 to Leyton Orient. Happy Days ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midfield Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Midfield. Signed England International Peter Crouch. Still not excited. Are you? Seems that since I've been on holiday you spuds have been "linked" with any and every player possible. What is Redknapp playing at? Is he trying to spend all your money like he did at Pompey? The one that made me and my eldest daughter laugh (and she's a Scouse fan) was Ashley Young. They were trying to get themselves mentioned in the same breath as Real Madrid, Barca and Liverpool!

somersetspur Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Some more education for the only blinkered gooner on the forum. Unlike yourselves Tottenham Hotspur have got money to spend,no problem. Our Owner is one of the richest men in the world.John Lewis.[surely you have done a bit of shopping there] His little Company ,ENIC,who our Chairman Daniel Levy works for runs our Football Club. There is also a big connection with another very successful buisnessman,Mr Alan Sugar,who still has a share holding in the club and is a massive Yid. Those 2 buisnessmen could buy your poxy little club 10 times over. For your information the new Stadium is in its advanced stages,with the Club aquiring 80% of the land around White Hart Lane,and with the economical climate as it is ,it will only cost approx,£400 million. Thats about half of what your brand new shit hole cost. So beware the Stadium will be built with the loads of money we have. Be worried Gooner.

midfield Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Only £400M? Sounds a steal! By the way, we don't pay £100M a year on interest. It's on 25-year mortgage that comes out of increased gate receipts. I don't know how many times I've told you that. Idiot. :SM_carton: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Are you really a school teacher,or what. The Emirates generate approx, £1 million profit on home game gate reciepts. Out of that comes players wages etc. When the shit hole was built,it cost in the region of £700 million,at the time it was built intrest rates were high,on the money that was borrowed. The Highbury Building Project,was going to pay off a large chuck of the debt owed. Unfortunatly ,with economic crisis,that scheme has come to almost a grinding halt and is way behind schedule. Now I thought you being a school teacher may be able to work out the rough sums. 19 premiership home games,plus Champions League and Cup home games,roughly 30 games a season. That is the sole reason Top players are sold every year and will continue to do so while you OWE the Bank money. If you fail with Champions league qualification this season[strong possibilty] More debt,more players going. Wake up and smell the coffee. :yahoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midfield Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 You get it wrong every time. The Emirates cost £430M which is nowhere near what you have made up. Champions League was never factored into it - as you well know. Our financial model is sound and we don't rely on sugar-daddies, unlike some clubs. Try reading, listening and learning. I teach maths - so I know what I'm talking about. Unlike you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 So why do you sell top quality players year in year out.To progress.? Toure left,because of that sole reason ,along with others. We will see how much you spend of the £41 million you made on Adebayor and Toure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midfield Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 If you look at the ones we have sold they were either players who had given us long and valuble service (Henry, Vieria, Toure, etc.) or mercenaries who think the grass is greener on the other side (Adebayor, Flamini, Reyes, etc.). All players move on for one reason or another. Out of that lot, Henry and Vieria are the ones we probably miss the most. We won't spend £41M on players. There is no need. What we may need is a top defensive midfielder and, probably, a centre-half. If we get them, great. If we don't I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midfield Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I didn't say we haven't got any debt. We have, but it's all under control. Don't forget we have shelled out a lot of money this year to buy 2 key players - Arshavin and Vermaelen. If you, or anyone else for that matter, is interested in the connection between us and Highbury Square then this link is interesting. There is money available for signings - it's just that we don't go out and buy 4 or 5 players every Summer because that's not the policy AW follows.

somersetspur Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 No we dont have to sell,so we can buy. Arry is letting a bit of deadwood leave the club,our squad ,one of the biggest in the Premiership was always top heavy. Zokora,Gunter,Bent,were never regulars and when every one was fit would'nt get in the team. Others like Gilberto and Rocha, were only playing in the reserves. Some youngsters have gone out on loan,so Arry is thinning the squad down ,and rightly so. Spurs have agreed a fee of £8 million for Sebastian Bassong from Newcastle. He has passed his medical,and is disscussing personal terms. This guy is banned for the first 2 games of the season,and has now decided to play for Camaroon and not France,so he will be off to the Africans Nations Cup in January,hence the fee being reduced from the original £10 millon.
