Spurs After Schneiderlin Now We Will See His Motivation.
at 23:44:39

I agree with all the assessments regarding Spurs and the top four. There is a significant gap between them and us, but doesn't mean we are not the nearest and dearest of the rest, based on last 6 or so years.

IF L'Arse and ManUre don't have the appetite then Spurs would be a logical next choice (maybe Liverpool of they enter mix) for MS. London after all has it's attractions

Re: bstokesaint. I agree with your assessment of Poche, no real Plan B.. Although the last thing I want as a Spurs fan is more change. Far too many managers (which Levy has to be held responsible for), far too much 'rebuilding'. I like Levy as a business man, but as a 'Football Chairman' he is seriously lacking in some areas.

Anyway 'if' the rumours are believed, Nike might buying a stake in us, so maybe (JUST MAYBE) we may finally be able to compete, once the new ground is complete..

Spurs After Schneiderlin Now We Will See His Motivation.

Always had a real soft spot for the Saints, especially after the season they have had given last summers transfers. However here are a couple of points that don't make sense regarding Spurs.

1) $15m transfer kitty? I think not. Firstly I'd be surprised if we don't spend well over 30m (excl. transfers revenue in). Huge amount of TV money and 5th place winnings. Also, no way Daniel Levy would 'actually' tell anyone what the transfer kitty is, including me, you or even Poche?

2) Spurs are a lot closer to the top four than we have been for a 25 years or so. We have consistently pushed for a top four spot in the last 6 or so years. Since 09/10 season we have qualified 4th twice and 5th three times? Not bad for a team 'far away from breaking into 4th as ever'?

3) Two years left on his contract applies a huge amount of pressure for Saints to sell, unless your club wants to sell him for 15m at Christmas, or 10m next summer. Last chance salon to get what he's 'worth'. Reckon that's a fair amount of pressure if you ask me!

4) Champions league will be his first choice, of course wouldn't you? Generally with Champions league comes wages, so they really are hand in hand.

The reality is if Spurs really want him (debatable AND maybe have the stomach for a bidding war with L'Arse, which we very well may lose) they could easily afford him. After all Levy would of course sell you a huge buy out clause (then swap you back it for some magic (Aldi brand) beans, next season!) - sorry couldn't resist :)

Hope you guys have a great season, but we have one better! :)
