Seeing as we're now into the final week of the transfer market what and who do you want at your club and what realistically to you expect to happen.


At Spurs our recent record isn't too good after largely wasting most of the Bale money two seasons ago. I expect Daniel Levy will be up to his usual last minute car boot sale bargain hunting tricks or because he's left it too late spunking the lot on a load of shit.


What has been abundantly clear is that we need another striker to accompany Harry Kane so stop fart arsing about and pay the fecking money for Berahino.

Also we're desperate for an experienced holding midfielder. Wanyama could work but would also be very costly prizing him away from Southampton. I'd really like to see some more flair in midfield too. Someone who can spot a pass and chip in with a few goals. I'd happily take Oscar off of Chelsea's hands if he is now surplus to requirements since Pedro's arrival.


Speaking of Chelsea, they pay just ?21 million for a bona fide winner in Pedro but Spurs laid out ?30 million for an inexperienced kid in Lamela two seasons ago and we're still waiting for him to come good. Makes you bloody sick. But that's my club. Too often flattering to deceive.

There have been so many players linked to United it's hardly worth speculating what will happen, if anything. But as you asked, we won't get anyone and Fellani will become our centre forward. Ed Woodward was in Barcelona last week. Not to get Pedro but to get Neymar. Yeah, right. How many players use interest from United as a tool to get a salary increase? If I had a hope it would be that Bale or Ronaldo get fed up with Benitez very quickly and United get one or the other.

From a Spurs point of view Austin is too similar to Kane. We need someone slightly different to play off him, hence our interest in Berahino and our purchase of Clinton Njie both of whom can more easily enable us twiddle with our system allowing us to play 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 instead of continuously playing 4-2-3-1 with Harry isolated up front on his own.


While we're at it. Any takers for the wage thief? Come on, someone must want him.

He does look knackered and I'm not completely against the idea of buying someone like Austin but our recent signing Clinton Njie can play through the middle as well as out wide. Having two out and out centre forwards in the first team means one player is always going to miss out.

Interestingly, FFP seems to have gone out the window.

Pleased with Liverpool's point from last night (would have taken the point before KO). Arsenal did have a good goal disallowed, but also survived the first half by the skin of Chech's teeth. Arsenal better side in the second half, but I know a couple of my Arsenal supporting mates were pleased with a point after 90 minutes.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
