Home » Dumb Move On The Cards

We’ve witnessed all manner of craziness during ENIC’s reign at Tottenham, yet this move would surely go straight into the top 5.

This then, from The Evening Standard recently, softening us up for the re-signing of Fernando Llorente.

Fernando, who is celebrates his 35th birthday, next April did make a couple of useful cameos in important games last season – that isn’t up for debate.

However, it’s a giant leap to then suggest that the otherwise routinely mediocre striker still has a ‘part to play’ in Tottenham’s future.

Levyologists will remind us that getting a back up striker to Harry Kane is absolutely impossible. The work of a fool to even attempt.

The problem is, by this logic, reserve goalkeepers are also a waste of time.

Football, like so much of the world has become infested by feelings – when fact should always take precedent.

Kane gets injured. That’s a fact, and when others have to pitch in to carry the load, it causes greater fatigue.

Fernando? Thanks, but no thanks.

Tommy Robinson gets a little 4.5 months lie down. If he really wants to help he could start by trying to stop all the whites in there getting jacked (cantean) and bullied by their own which makes them jump over the the weirdy beardys. Them lot forcing them to grow beards and pray out loud. (Radicalising them) Have to read their holy book for many hours day. He should start a little firm in there for the weak to run to. He’ll be out in a shit and a shave anyway. I wonder if he’ll ask to be held under rule 43. Tommy. “Do your bird”.

Tommy Robinson imprisoned again for nothing, without a jury, again. What the fuck is wrong with the UK these days……

The UK is fucked and the government won’t be happy until TR is dead.He’s shone a light on their fascist tendences and they don’t like it.
This on a day that London was hosting a conference on press freedom,and refusing to discuss Assange,whilst government lawyers were in Strasburg arguing the case for continued mass surveilence of it’s citizens.

Costa is looking for a new job apparently…me say “yes”….

That would certainly liven things up a bit! Nothing like a good ruck on the pitch to get the punters through the turnstiles and Costa can wind up even the calmest defender. Bette than Llorente too.
A Costa in the shopping mall and another in the team?

We had a good back-up striker for Kane in Moussa Dembele from Fulham for just £6m a while back, but the little dipshit pulled the plug because he allegedly failed a medical. He then went on to play loads of games for Celtic and become a star! I would say that Llorente fails a medical under the column of not actually having a discernable pulse.
My god we’re not really going in for 4 comps with just Kane and Llorente again are we? I’d rather see us change to 433 with a false number 9 than put Llorente up front alone. Trouble is for some games you do need a target man. The only valid use of the big lump is playing alongside Kane, where he has looked reasonable a few times. But Levy’s middle name is saving pennies, and this bizarre case would in his own little mind do that. He doesn’t give a fig about our success on the pitch anyway, or the welfare of the players, just the bank balance. He happily sits by and watches Kane and Erikson run into the ground like pit ponies. I thought slavery had been abolished?

A problem that might be even greater as can be seen from the majority of our performances last season (the slow painful build up, passing sideways and backwards, especially so in CL final ,remember that corner) is that either a lot of players are not good enough, the tactics are boring based on possession and waiting for the opposition to make a mistake, and as long as we harp back to getting to that final, there will be another season of lack of entertainment. Or do I expect too much

I admit llorente did ok, but is not the answer. Why would any decent striker come to Spurs when Poch don’t drop his starts that are playing shite and sends the message that when H is fit he comes straight back into the team. We are gonna struggle here.

Yes jamil this is a spurs site. Unfortunately we have a regime running the club who’s only interested in making money for themselves, Bollox to the football club. Put simply, a squad that lost 20 games last season has not been improved the way it needed to be. Yes Ndombele is a good signing but he’s gonna need to get changed in a phone box and run out with his pants over his shorts if he’s gonna do it all himself. Well with llorentes help.

We have needed a proper back up for Kane for years. He is overplayed by both Spurs and England and his ankle problems will not go way. Llorente is not the answer but a Levy cheapskate short term sticking plaster. Proper clubs address these problems quickly and efficiently. Let’s trade would be model, plastic gangster, over tattooed and over rated Alli, who still hasn’t mastered the art of kicking with his left foot for a proper footballer. We should be prepared to throw in his “barber” as well to sweeten the deal.

I know there are some of our fans that will say we’ll he did OK. Personally I have nothing against him, and would have loved to have had him 5 years earlier. However we as a club now have recorded huge profits, huge TV money, biggest ever sponsorship deals, and if they ain’t that great who’s fault is that, and must now be generating massive match day revenues, and if not why build that ground. And the best we can do is someone nearly as old as me? It’s a fucking insult and the sooner people turn on this regime the better. People bleating on about arsenal wanna be careful.

Ok – my view, we should keep him until we get someone that can come in. Releasing him and not replacing him helps no-one (but Levy and his coffers).

Llorente is not the answer to the back up striker problem, he may have been when we bought him, he has proved he isn’t, and at 35/36 he is certainly not. we should have a player on the bench that makes Kane fight for game time, if Kane had pressure from the squad he would not have returned half fit, and Poch wouldn’t have felt he needed to make him. Having llorente basically meant we finished the season with no striker, as a half fit Kane was chosen and was clearly half fit.
