I think we'll still do business
We will get Traore on the last day and it will be hailed as a coup.
Then we will spend the rest of the season saying “He’ll be better next season, after a proper pre-season with Conte”
Kessie turned us down.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kessie us down is a reality check which all Spurd fans needed.
We are not a big draw right now. We are pinning our hopes on Conte single handedly attracting players. But he only had a 18mth contract?
If you were a free agent in summer wouldn't you wait to see who had qualified for champions league? Especially a player of Kessies level.
It's a shame but maybe all the money in the world can't attract the top quality players we crave. The question is if Conte will be happy with improvements available.
Levy's failings on the football side of things are well document so not gonna repeat what everyone already knows/ thinks but as a businessman..... where the hell is this bl00dy stadium naming rights !!!!!..... stadiums are full, TV rights are still going strong !!!!
Other than hiring a good manager, who I assume he lied to and will ultimately let down... he's failing on every level
Daniel levy is simply holding Spurs back
Villa will finish ahead of Spurs in the next couple of years... They are a progressive club with rich owners (so are we !) but have progressive, sensible ownership doing the right thing for their club

Nah Villa won`t, they are not that progressive, they have sold their best player they have had in years, Grealish. They are a long way behind Spurs even with their new signings.

Not overly worried about players like Kessie. There is no evidence he would do well in the Prem anyway. Probably another N`dombele in reality. Look better playing in poorer leagues.
I would much prefer Spurs to go for proven Prem players, and not players just coming over for the Wonga.
Don't worry Levy's got this. Wolves are desperate to sell Traore so they will have by deadline day guaranteed. I wouldn't be surprised if he has some other deals up his sleeve too. Daniel Levy is God.

I agree, but as you also point out, its not specific to Spurs when it comes to players like this at the end of their contracts.
They want the biggest and best deals so will wait until the summer. That little bit patience could be worth a couple million a year in extra wages! It is a risk, Kessie may smash his knee up in March and then he's buggered.
With the likes of Real, Barca and PSG all looking to do free deals, players will wait.
Levy is just doing what Levy does. I expect there may be a signing or 2 but once again it has been dragged out to the end of the window, when January games they may have featured and made a difference in have already been played.
Just because a post on here said we'd signed Traore doesn't mean it's true. Unless everyone on here really is an ITK. I learnt a long time ago to stop taking notice of rumours until they actually happen.
Jan is a rubbish month to be buying players. And why do we automatically think we can walk in to any club and buy whoever we want? That's not how it works.
I'd rather we were planning for a good summer window but I worry about our recruiting system. We get far more misses than hits with players coming in. That's where the issue lies, not necessarily with Levy.
The bed wetting for losing to the champions of Europe is ridiculous.
Rome wasn’t built in a day. As long as we keep beating the shieete sides outside of the top 3 then we will make the CL

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem is so will Man United, and they will also beat some of the better sides.
I don't agree with the argument that they are CL Champs and therefore we shouldn't expect too much.
We have had 3 goes at them in 3 weeks and the performances have all been negative and cowardly
Brighton have shown us that these excuses are not valid.

Yup exactly Pawl, Spurs roll over for Chelsea three times in January, and Brighton avoid defeat against Chelsea twice in a month. Very lame excuses.
Having said that no team will score that many own goals in three games, have two penalties overturned, and two perfectly good goals ruled out. You do need a bit of luck, and Chelsea over the three games had oddles of it.
