Possibly. But, he hasn't got rid of the best players he has right now. Kane & Eriksen look to be staying for at least the next few years. Kane seems set on staying. I'm not sure if Spurs is the team that hes always supported? But, he seems pretty loyal.
Levy might be known as a seller, but Spurs have made some progress recently, and I think he's looking towards success rather than wheeling and dealing these days. At least that's what he should be doing.

^ Yeah but the thing is, judging from Daniel Levy's history, I think he's gonna sell some of his players and buy some younger ones with potential, build them up, and if they reach their potential, go sell them. It's more like a business for him than a glory seeking endeavor.

I'm pretty sure that all the spending done on the stadium shouldn't affect the club's spending on transfers. I mean the Spurs board should already have figured all the spending needed even before any spending has been done, right?
Probably. Spurs have a young squad that can be developed though. They also have some promising youngsters that they could potentially look to integrate. Of course, Liverpool is who I dream of getting what they deserve but for the love of football, let's have a season to remember!
They've had a slow start to the season to their standards, but they are still picking up points. Now that Swansea has left the Premier league, I think I'm supporting Liverpool to go on, and win it.

Even though Liverpool didn't play to their standards they still defended pretty decently if we don't count the mistake by Alison. The thing is they haven't hit top gear yet, and they are still taking all 3 points. When that front 3 start to hit it off with Keita feeding them they will be scary good.
Hopefully! I’m in my early 30’s & was too young to remember the last time we (Liverpool) won the title. My Dad lived through and saw us win everything.
I am a Spurs fan here so in fact even if I was much older I would not really recall a time when my team won things regularly,,, and also I would have always had watched games late. In my country, we did not get to see live matches except for when the program Road to Wembley would come on and we could watch FA cup live and it used to be also really late so you had to watch TV with the sound low. So I notice many of my colleagues who support English teams we only grow up reading the old football magazines from our fathers but we love hearing stories from the older people about the teams. Too bad I hear so few stories about Spurs but I would love to have stories to tell people about them one day;)
The last time I was home on my not so little island, I had the opportunity to visit a remote village. Saw a Liverpool scarf from before the Premier league even began, adorning a small altar to local football greats.
I think it's great to see all these English club supporters from so many generations, even though they may not recognise the sport today. And Spurs have a great fanbase even without the trophies, so I wish them and any team that plays attractive football well.
Of course, Liverpool is who I dream of getting what they deserve but for the love of football, let's have a season to remember!

^ That's cos Tottenham is a selling club, not a buying club (of established super stars) thanks to Daniel Levy. But he's doing a brilliant job at it tho. It's like how BVB is run. But don't expect them to be always going for the glory like City under the Mansours. Those guys run City like it's their play thing. Lol.
Problem Spurs have now is that they’re close to the completion of their new stadium which has cost a shit load of money. It’s likely been paid for by massive loans which will take years to pay off. Evidence of this is that they signed NOBODY in the summer. It’ll continue for years, Poch will leave & so will their best players & they’ll fall away from the top 4 next year or the year after & they’ll hardly have any money to spend.
They’ll recover when the stadium is paid off but it’ll take a while.
Didn't they cash it? I thought the whole reason of not spending on players was that they were happy with current squad and they spent all their bank on the new Stadium. I've heard that it cost $1billion but they had pretty decent cashflow, didn't they?
I also thought that they already paid off at least majority of the stadium and that their transfer policy was result of a choice and not of missing funds. Whatever, Levy is very shrewd businessman and I have no doubt he will take care of financial side.
That being said, I heard that they had some problems with floods on the new stadium. That will probably mean some extra investment to take care of the resulting damages.

But liverpool in the first four matches at EPL has not met or fought a big team, we can see in the following week I think liverpool has difficulty dividing focus on whether to focus more on EPL or at UCL, because there will only be a little time to break in next week and to play at UCL against the big teams also in every competition, if liverpool can perform consistently then it is likely that liverpool will be a strong candidate to win the EPL championship this season.
True, but crystal palace, and Leicester City have always been a bit of a bogey team for them. They haven't exactly gone up against teams which aren't capable of beating them. Whereas Man Utd, and Man City have already dropped points against lesser sides.

This year Liverpool is the strongest contestant to the title fight to Man.City and any other team maybe in for the long title fight. The fact that Liverpool conceded only a single goal during the first 4 matches of the EPL, it is a big clue that they may be will win the title this year if they can keep up this pace during all this long EPL season.

^ Yup I think so too. I mean Pep is a good manager, but sometimes tiki taka football gets a little bland at times. Sometimes the direct approach is more entertaining to watch imo.
September 03, 2018, 07:03:23 AM
Absolutely. Salah/Firmino/Mane were scary enough last season, but Mane seems to have stepped it up a notch and Keita is a phenomenal addition. It will be between Liverpool and Man City for 1st and 2nd in the league.
Yeah, I'm keeping my eye on them this season as I've made a bet for them to win the league with a few friends of mine. Mane always seems to perform the best when the others aren't quite hitting top form. I think so too. Man City hasn't been that impressive so far to be honest, and it seems all the teams are taking a little while to kick into gear. Liverpool have a brutal fixture list coming up soon though. September 03, 2018, 04:51:54 AM
Didn't manage to keep up my great streak yesterday due to some wild results, but still got my first yellow hat and ended up moving up 12 places in the leaderboard. So pretty happy all round.
Everyone in the league was wrong (0 points) on the Tottenham game, except marboro who exactly predicted 2-1 Watford. Wild. I wonder what odds you would have to got on that pre-kickoff. 6/1?

I am quite disappointed with my predictions so far. I climbed up a few spaces last week but then I dropped again and now still below 20th position. Not enough to predict two exact scores for Manchester City and Fulham 2-2,,, it seems I simply cannot get things right often.
2 weeks ago you were sitting at 27th now you're at 24th that's not bad tbh and this round you've gained more points than the rest of us. We have 3 matches left to predict before the round ends don't lose hope. 
I picked all favorites to win today but i'm having second thoughts that there will be a draw after looking at the results yesterday. All home teams are underdogs and 2 of the favorites had a poor start.
Phew, my team lost, I cannot believe it,,, and worse, all three goals were scored by Watford, so either Harry Kane ran out of steam trying to make his goals count start early or we actually really need our South Korean player back asap. Now my whatsapp is full of Spurs memes I am feeling like it was old days again,,, but thank god we are still above Arsenal:P
Still at 24th, but I climbed up a few hundred places in my own Tottenham leaderboard. Cannot check the exact scores. Superbru game engine busy this whole afternoon.
September 02, 2018, 08:42:29 AM
I did exactly that at the WC pool. It kinda worked the first few 'game days' but ended dropping out anyway. I think I should have stuck to my original plan and copy what Lawro does. Lol. Ended up not doing it cos it would be kinda like I cheated if I win.
