diamond_ace 3,112 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I've learned from prior seasons, never trust the Hazard to Real Madrid rumors that inevitably come up. So many false stories around, until he's sold he's a Blue.

Tyler 885 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 He's getting too old for Madrid at this point I think. No way they give him a five year contract when he'd be 30 after two seasons.

Why not? FA Cup is decent football usually by the time you get to the semi's at least. League Cup has become a bit of a joke, though.

But because Chelsea won the Champions League they were automatically in next year's competition which knocked Spurs out lol. As a result they had to sell Modric and Bale.

Oh I knew that, but I figured given Spurs statue at the time we would have lost Bale anyway and most likely Modric too.

Yeah I think Redknapp was leaving after the season anyway so it's tough to say. They both wanted Champions League which was the main driver away.

Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 1 minute ago, Tyler said: It's alright though because Spurs have won loads of trophies with the money they got from selling to Madrid I mean...I guess this is what I'll never understand. Obviously there's no salary cap or anything about any sort of forced parity or leveling of the playing field. Tottenham are not on the same financial level of either of the Manchester clubs or Chelsea, and probably not Arsenal or Liverpool either. I don't really see what's worth bragging when you can spend near unlimited amounts of money (the first three at least) to improve your club. It's no secret Spurs have been pulling above their financial weight given their shrewd transfers and player development. It's the only way we can hope to compete with the clubs who have even more resources available. Now obviously this is all relative to where you stand in the overall soccer pyramid given Tottenham buy from other clubs "below" them both foreign and domestic, but this is kind of how I see it. It's not like the Eagles winning the Super Bowl on a relatively even playing field. Same cap for everyone, no or relatively few owners not willing to spend money on salary, etc...
