Transfer windows for Spurs follow a very familiar pattern. At the very start, you are littered with a tsunami of 'ITK' info. But then it always goes quiet around mid-late July; their prophecies haven't come to pass, so they look a bit fudging stupid. Much arguing then takes place, between the down-right gullible and those who are not so easily duped.
Fear not though, the old cliché of 'many irons in the fire' will then surface and be the much agreed line from the 'ITKs' and this usually happens with between 10-14 days left of the window. It'll then be a brickstorm for approximately 48hrs, with many hilarious 'targets' mentioned. But then more silence - fudge, nothing is happening (...again!)
But patience guys, PATIENCE! There is to be a third coming of the brickstorm. Enter 30th August - the day before Judgement Day. Legendary day for trumpers, this one. Oh yes, this is the day when 'ITKs' toss themselves into an attention-seeking frenzy, knowing full well that - by this stage - Spurs fans are so fudging desperate to sign anyone, that they'll believe just about any brick which is put before them.
And then comes Sept 1st, aka Samaritan Day. Yes, Spurs fans, it's time to take your phones and ring for psychological help. The biggest anti-climax is upon you, and now you must swim around in your swimming pool of misery and depression. But remember the rule of thumb: even though we have the same problems in the squad at the time the window started, Daniel Levy is the bestest Chairman of all time and should actually be knighted.
