I love the way that Paul denies that Campbell was a "last minute panic buy" when the original email never even mentioned that at all...

In all fairness, if you email Spurs with a valid point and go about it in the right way, you get a response. I did after the NEwcastle game and Levy sent me an email back to the effect of thae performance wasn't good enough and check the site for an apology, which duly came. COYS>

Harry, reading between the lines of " The Club will shortly issue a statement on the transfer window business and we will refer to the issue of buying another striker. " is there something in this ?? Its almost like Mr Barber is trying to buy more time to conclude a deal ???

what a load of bull.

Crappiest excuse I have ever heard

What a silly response - Modric certainly wasn't signed as a replacement for Keane as he mentioned when joining how he was looking forward to playing with Keane, Berba, etc!!!

I understand the purchases I just can't understand that we are left with Campbell & Bent as our only strikers for Europe.

Would love someone to tell me why we didnt stand our ground last nite, after man utd blatanley had berbatov without our permission. Sick of us pandering to the likes of old red nose

What is Levy's e-mail address?

Why is the Cambell deal only a loan?
Is there an option for us to take him permanently?

more to the point why was no permission gave to manu but we still see him turning up there with him driving berb to there training ground and having a med still without mr levy's permission and we are told today that still wasn't given at 11.40pm but by 12.00 they have done the deal. sorry mr.levy and the rest of the board you let us down we had them they broke every rule there is and you let them off for 31mill and campball on loan what use is that quote from reporter on skysports man u acted like the mafia and we just took it hope you no what that makes us look like us season tickets would have put the money in just to look at him sitting in the stands

I just hope the prem league chiefs investigate this deal. Im fuming at the lack of balls our board has shown, surely we would have eventually got money more from them after blocking city's attempts to talk to the player. Just look at Newcastle's fans this evening, would love to see the yid army mobilise and let our feelings be know outside the lane

This is made up, it has to be or my name is Wannop.

The thing thats angered me more than anything is the fact we got campbell on loan. This is a joke. This will just be helping manure further. We give him some prem experience and some confidence, and manure get him back as a more mature and experienced player. We're starting to look like their feeder club. If we wanted him we should have got him permanently or not at all. Once again manure get exactly what they want.

I just heard on sky sports news that we tried to sign kevin Doyle from Reading last night but they never picked up the phone!

Maybe thats the statement ?

Don't blame us , 606 posted that email first but since then lots of people have claimed to have the same one.

Three players names are spelt wrong in it and it doesn't make sense for Barber to send something like that. I think there's a good chance it's a fake.

why carnt sir red nose hav a stroke?????

what a shame keegans gone lmfao

What are the chances of us having signed a pre-contract agreement with Zenit/Arshavin and that he will join us after the Russian season ends and be available to play for the second half of the UEFA cup?

Giovanni is a striker... atleast acording to the OS! As I see it, we did the best buisness this summer of all teams... We can do well in Europe without Roman... The midfield is allowed to score you know...

It's good that Barber did reply. What we really need to know though, are answers to the following:

1. Why did we allow MU to take Berbatov when we had said all along that he was tapped up and not for sale and had made a complaint to the Premier League?

2. Do the Board understand the wider implications of the sales of Carrick, Keane and Berbatov - i.e. that we are now a selling club and no-one takes us seriously (witness MU's complete disregard for the rules last night). This position has/will cost much more than the value of the players sold (we are still waiting for Carrick's replacement - how much has that cost us already).

3. Is Campbell a loan to purchase, or can MU just take him back if he does well?

Whoever at Spurs Community has Barber's e-mail address, could you please ask him these questions?

Thanks very much - from a season ticket holder for 35 years who remembers when there was a football club here.

I wonder? Is the window still open for loan deals? - I hope you're onto something here!

I'm more upset by the fact we haven't signed a classy defensive midfielder. I heard talk about Veloso which would have been our best signing in the last few seasons as we've been very poor in that area but nothing emerged. I feel this is what we're lacking the most (4 goals in 2 games against boro and sunderland, we need to cover the back four, all the top teams in the league have a quality DM (Essien/Hargreaves/Mascherano), who have we got, Zokora? Huddlestone? Jenas? they all can't help but push on constantly leaving big gaps for the opposition to play in when we lose possession. Ledley can play there as can Corluka but there much needed at the back where they play the best game. I feel Veloso would have been the difference this year between top and bottom ends of the table table. I hope this loan deal is an option to buy situation otherwise we got screwed, he gets the highest level game time, can't play against Man Utd then goes back to them a more finished product at the end of the year. Should have just kept Pekhart seeing as he's ours and I feel brings a smarter edge to striking with height and strength, Campbell plays very much like Bent with pace off the last man. Just to remind everyone that Corluka too is unable to play Uefa cup football, which is great news. I hope our defence stays fit and Roman Pavlyurussian isn't knackered from playing solid footie for a year come Christmas time.

Im crap with words and bob has summed it up all for me there.

How can we claim to be building and champions league team and club when the playing staff is in consant change, and any world class players we do uncover, just get shipped out the the big boys

First post as a registered participant and one who has long enjoyed HH's work, whether here or as West Stand Voice elsewhere.

Sports execs will often agree that it's better for a club to get rid of a player a year too soon than a year too late.

If you're going to hammer Levy on the transfer dealings, keep in mind that Robbie Keane is beginning to look like poster boy for the theory. With Gerrard and Torres facing shelf time in the medic ward, Keane's about to face more defensive coverage than ever before. We shall not only see what he's really made of, but how astute Daniel Levy was in taking a very generous fee for his transfer.

We have some smart people running Spurs. After a decade of decay due to too much Sugar, I despaired that White Hart Lane would become as relevant as Loftus Road. It's obviously not the case and never will be.

An understandably bad start is not an insurmountable one. We have a good result to move forward from and many reasons to be optimistic that Spurs under Ramos and Levy will achieve their potential.

If you're miserable and want company, just visit with fans from: Everton, where the season's quickly going gooey and neither they nor their neighbours could build a new outhouse, let alone new stadiums; Newcastle, where the King loses his crown as the owner loses his marbles; Ar5ena1, where fans with tinfoil hearts and tinsel-forged players await the next bout of niggling injuries to their delicate boys to ruin their season; Or even West Ham, where a crisis in confidence, despite two wins in three games, still has everyone freaking out.

It ain't been great at the Lane thus far, but there's a lot to work with here and the resources to make it better down the road.

Im so angry
