The bit about Rose and Jose was great.


I find this more interesting than the City one, because there's more drama.

I've definitely noticed a reduction in shit's impact in recent years, I'm always hearing in on pre-watershed tv.

Yet to hear anyone come out with beef curtains though :lol: I mustn't watch enough of The Inbetweeners....

Just finished ep 2 and Jose’s love for Dier is painful. £100m could have been spent on him and Rose a couple seasons ago. Let that sink.

These documentaries make the coaching and pep talks look so sunday league. Managing footballers looks like a pain in the ass.

Yeah I find it interesting how the player team talks before the games are so similar to Sunday league. “Let’s fecking do these” etc. Lloris seems like a great leader.

They’re definitely cutting out all the significant tactical stuff. Can’t see Jose wanting to give away important secrets like what colour bus he draws on his tactics board.

Jose's dream duo, Rose and Dier. Would have been our problem now.

I haven't seen it yet but based on that Rose clip I cannot see why anyone would want that kind of thing to be in the public domain, as fascinating it may be I'd be cringing if I were a Spurs fan
I stopped reading after that.

Watched 4th and 5th episodes, it's better with all the injuries, transfers part. Wish they went in more depth, especially the Eriksen transfer.

Have to say that was a total farce that interview, Eriksen came out of it looking like he didn't care about money and Levy came out of it looking like he would happily be paying Eriksen £300K a week :lol:... Loved the way Levy looked right at the camera during it.

Um... we did? He was on most top European clubs radars, including Utd. Probably best you actually do a bit of research before making comments like that.

The Sun and The Mirror are definitely reliable sources. United have probably scouted most players Spurs have signed at some stage. Doesn’t mean they were beat to his signature.

No proof that we didn't though and plenty of evidence to suggest we did - or at least a lot of top clubs monitoring the situation.

Well it's true isn't it??! :lol:
That was a weird question. How can anyone prove that Spurs didn't beat any club to sign this player?

Other way is possible as you can show links which says clubs made bids for the said player .

So the other guy gets to make statements and not back it up with anything but in my response to it I am required to provide proof? Ok mate!

I'm getting annoyed by that guys suggestion that if Spurs sign anybody that automatically means no top clubs could have been in for them. That's total nonsense.
Man just let it run off your back its much easier than rising to it. Jose will implode, Kane is injury prone and done blah blah blah we have been here long enough to ignore it.

No problem admitting it, I find most of it quite bland but I do like seeing the physios and the team talks, the rest is mostly for foreign fans to raise the profile of the club and show of the stadium.
I think it's for money. If I'm not wrong Spurs get around 10 million and also good marketing too on one of the biggest platforms.

Tbh I enjoyed it. Wish they cut out these silly PR things and showed what actually happened, instead of staged interviews, conversations.

Loved the part about Tanganga.

That's exactly why I watch it, doesn't matter who you support seeing young kids that emotional shows how much it means to them.

Yes, because if you beat other European clubs for his signing, then where are the links about the bids made for this player?

Player being in club's radar means nothing, in this age and era, every player is under every club's radar. That's why they have scouts. Unless club makes the bid or approaches the player, how can any club beat other clubs?

Yeah, it's great to see when the academy player steps up to first team. It means so much to them.

I have no idea - but we do have the club's chief negotiator stating it as fact. This is such a silly thing for us to be arguing about because none of us can possibly know the answer or what is true or not.

Agreed the Tanganga focus is nice. Although it was a little jarring seeing him so much and then in the 4th episode it mentioning about his Premier League debut (against Liverpool).
I really enjoyed the Tanganga bits as well. Seems like a very down to earth, humble guy - really good player too.

We should take everything with a pinch of salt in the PR shows tbh, he won't be saying we had a free run for a highly rated player. Our CEO said there are 700 million ManUtd fans and he stated that as a fact. I for one don't believe that btw, he said that in investors conference call as part of PR show.

Yeah it's a silly argument, just was curious on how you wanted other poster to prove, I mean how can anyone prove that no club was interested? Its easier to prove when clubs are interested as we will see lot of news about club trying to sign players and making bids for them.
