Ok, here goes, my controversial opinion, please don't judge me....
I think you're all ****s.
:-"
Hey!, That has nothing to do with spurs!
I think Darren Bent would have had a hat full of goals if he had still been with us last season. Big mistake selling him.
1) Having a 60k stadium is a waste of space when 50k will be adequate
2) To many of us are still more preocupied with arsenals demise than our gradual improvement
3) Adebayor will turn out to be a mistake in the long run. We were frustrated by him last season, it will only get worse.
I don't rate Luka, its funny that people rate him so highly, but I see an average player that doesn't excel at anything (apart from passes with the outside of his foot). I certainly don't see a 40m player.
Oh look, you answered your own question!1) I hate the way fans expect loyalty from players. A player plays well for your club and you pay them for it, thats the end of it. Spurs fans claiming that Modric somehow owes us something because we bought him over to England is preposterous. Equally, the way RvP is slandered by Gooners on forums because of his statement, when in reality what he said made a lot of sense. Also, the way fans will say things like 'Now everyone knows we have to sell him'. Guess what sherlock, every top club in the world would have known that with or without the statement, thats what an agent is for. It was for the benefit of the fans so they aren't kept in the dark, and something to be applauded IMO.
2) On the same topic, how fans rave about players they have never seen and rate them as better than players we have. The reality is that when you watch a player every week, you see the kind of flaws that you won't see in other teams players.
3) The way fans bitch about not picking up an unknown player X who a worse team took a chance on, Passis Cisse for instance. A team like Saudi Sportswashing Machine makes a great signing and everyone complains about how their team can't find players like that. When buying players from overseas, it's pot luck. Get used to it.
4) I didn't really rate Modric for the first couple years, and I think he is a bit overrated now. A great player no doubt and want him to stay, but I don't really see what he does to make the team so amazing. He works hard, seems to almost always make the right decisions when in possession and knows when to play is simple and when to try something complicated, but is that enough for all the hype? Perhaps I'm underrating those qualities
we're both wrong, we finished 10th.....which makes my point even more valid. He was a bluffer!!
