Hahah @ the delusional City fan on Talksport just.
'Insider info' has caused him to bet his entire house on Fernando Torres joining City next year.

God, i hope they call him back next year.

I admire Levy's business sense to keep the clubs head above water but there has to come a point were you need to invest to progress. Our current CFs just aren't up for the job to take us to the next stage in our progress.

Aren't spurs clearly the 2nd highest spender in the premier league in the last 3-4 years, meaning, they clearly are investing.

How much did Pav cost, what about Defoe, Crouch, Keane, Santos was another 5 mil, Modric, Krancjar(good deal, but probably highish wages which adds up).

A couple years ago people were saying Defoe is brilliant, Crouch is a good option, Keane is great, etc, etc. Suddenly they're all crap because they are going through a dry spell. Firstly all strikers go through one, would Rooney be good enough for Spurs, if so, hasn't Defoe scored much more recently than Rooney, he scored in the world cup, isn't Rooney well over 1000minutes without a goal and having looked pretty god damned awful in that time aswell?

What if Spurs get Fabianno, he scores well for a year, then goes through a dry spell, suddenly its time for Levy to break the bank and sign another in form striker?

LEvy doesn't want to end up with 3-4 extra players for Champs league football, all higher quality, on wages above the usual structure only to find themselves stuck with 4 expensive players for 4-5 years, no champs league, losing money every year and the other 25 players getting upset at their "low" wages compared to the new guys.

What happens when Fabianno has a crappy season and Defoe scores 20 to his 10, and Defoe wonders why he's on 50k a week and FAb is on 90k a week, it quickly spirals out of control and Spurs end up the next Leeds.

Spurs might get champs league football for another season, they should get into the group stages this season, long term, they won't be top 4 competitive long term without a bigger stadium to be stable with a larger more expensive squad.

City might get it right this season, they might not, honestly with that much cash they'll eventually hit on the right combo of manager/players, its not if, but when.

Look at other teams that spent beyond their means trying to desparately hang on to champs league football, Newcastle, Leeds.......... Levy's doing a very good job at Spurs, though I reckon they could quite easily get rid of a bit of the rubbish and bring in couple better players instead.

Your current CFs managed to get you to 4th place last season and scored in the away leg of a Champions League tie two nights ago. I'd say they're fine at getting you to the next level. Whether they can cope at that point is a different matter, but then, isn't that exactly the point of what Levy's trying to do?

Based on tuesday, I'd say it's your defence that's more in need of fixing.

EDIT: Also, won't Fabiano now be cup-tied? :confused:

Bassong and Dawson are useless without King and we do need another classy CB to play in his absense. In saying that, we defended very well last season just lacked the resolved at the end. We seem tohave that nailed on Saturday where last season we would have conceeded in the last 5 minutes.. As for the Cfs, most of the squad contributed to the goal scoring tally last season. 17 difference players [may stand corrected here] i recall. The forwards need to make more of an impact which is what they are paid to do.
 
Defoe worried about a groin strain picked up during the World Cup. The same strain that flared up on Tuesday night. Says he hopes it doesn't turn into a full blown tear like Lennon's last year which kept him out for a lengthy spell.
 
Just watched the champions league roundup thingy and Merson is on there saying that if Spurs get into group stages then they can go out and buy two world class players...who exactly is he talking about?
Anyways Rangers finalising Weiss's move which is good news as the kid has got a big future and the experience will do him good up there :)

Fabiano and someone else.
 
Surely the only way to guarantee that is to rest him? I never pick players when they have an orange INJ. ;)

Not sure he would actually be missed really.

According to the majority of rumours, Gallas would be a fair bet.

Been rumoured for ages.. He wants a two year contract i believe, something that is outside of Tottenham's policy for 30+ players. Personally, I would welcome the experience he would bring. None of this "he's ex Arsenal" rubbish.
 
Are Fabiano and Gallas world class though :/...anyways looking forward to tonights game, I just pray we dont do a Tottenham :p, But i think we will be too much for them..
Team for tonight:
Hart
Zableta--Kompany-Toure-Bridge :(
Johnson--Toure----Barry--Balotelli
---------Adebayor--Jo-----------

Why are you comparing Kompany and Jo lol how about Kompany and Tevez? If you say Komp and Jo then yeh they are but Kompany+Tevez are better than Fab+Gallas in my opinion.
Skippi did i say Balotelli and Milner are? Balotelli certainly has the potential to be and Milner is just a solid player nothing more nothing less
 
Kompany has the potential to be better than Gallas but right now doesn't read the game as well. Tevez vs Fab is a bit closer, not a lot in it.
 
I think Kompany is in the top 5 central defenders in the country...the guy can only improve and he is only young also so great potential to be one of the best defenders in the world.
 
About time Arsenal bought another CB, it has got beyond a joke. It took them getting the new guy sent off to force his hand though. :D
