I reckon so
as a i said, could be taken as a 'dark moment'
not a dark / day / week / month / time by the way
certainly not compared to our history
just at the moment, things havent droped and it looks a little bleak perhaps ?
but I reckon we've got a lot up our sleeve this time around
we HAVE got the money and an improving profile to prospective new players
and so - we just need to be patient
for a little longer

We could be up to our nuts in potential signings and not have a clue.
Joselu came pretty much out of nowhere, we could easily have a couple more like that before the season starts, absolutely no reason to be worried at the moment.

I'm hoping the club are just keeping things under wraps and aren't showing their hand when it comes to our potential signings. Especially if we are targeting these bigger players as is suggested, makes it all the more critical that our business is kept to ourselves. I wouldn't say it's a dark time, we can only speculate as to what is going on. I agree with your call for patience though, christ does this board need a bit more of that  |

No, waiting for the big boys to get who they want and waiting for the scraps they leave. Tell me how we can be chasing Kono for months, according to the club and yet, Spurs show an interest just this week and he's coming over to discuss terms with them early next week? Someone's not telling the whole truth somewhere, or we're being used. Sorry lads, we're still way down the pecking order.

London or Longton that's the problem we have and I'm not knocking Longton. Even Fergie said its hard to get players sometimes when a London club was in for them.

Do you ever give it a rest?
It's not even fucking July yet. You've basically started three threads this week saying the same thing.
Go to the park and feed the ducks.

I know all clubs football fans are a bit daft but we have some especially daft fans in our throngs,and a lot of em seem to be more active during the close season.

Why do people doubt the club so much? I'm not in the least bit concerned by the lack money being spent given how so far Hughes and co have delivered the goods with some absolute gems. The signs all point for me to another good window whereby they'll deliver another gem or two. Big spending comes with big expectations and that can lead to big disappointment. I know the delivery of cheap quality signings can't last forever but it looks to me that instead of paying over the odds we are casting the net far and wide to recruit value for money signings and I can't fault us for that approach.

Excellent post. It's certainly easy to get carried away with the Kono deal but your spot on a big price doesn't guarantee a great player. It can just as easily bring problems in the changing room with a big ego. We proved last season how a good group can take you. I guess its about getting the balance right. For me Id rather go for young players with lots of potential who are still hungry (Muni) than a big name who thinks he's already made it. |

Would it be a good idea to close the Oatie down for the close season? That would stop all the procrastination and protestation.

You could say it the other way, Broadwater farm estate or Wilmslow, Pretbury, Alderley Edge. Tottenham isn't exactly the most attractive place to go to. |
