Are you suggesting that we bought him at gunpoint and not of our own free will? It's about as daft as saying that we owe Everton big time for stitching them up with a winger that was out for a season with an ACL injury

I get the impression that it was clear as day that Zeki was a wrong 'un to all and sundry before we bought him but went ahead anyway, I guess RH8 is saying Levi mislead us in an unethical way? Whereas when we sold Bolasie, we wanted to keep him desperately. We had no idea he was on the verge of an ACL tear whereas levy knew full well fryers was gash but mislead us otherwise. That's not my recollection of what happened as I seem to remember that none of us really knew anything about him apart from what was in the public domain and if you're trying to suggest that we bought him on the recommendation of the selling Chairman then you are suggesting that our chairman and manager are incredibly stupid

Hands off Zaha who is kingmaker of play for Palace and needs to stay.

He certainly did not pull up any trees at Bournemouth. 4. Who was to know that Wickham would be almost permanently injured? Obviously like everybody else on here, I wish we had kept him now but please do not rewrite history.[/bigger]

Fergie was unhappy when he left to go to Begium and then Spurs. For some reason he lost his way but so did Wilf on opposite journey. The difference is Wilf returned and the rest is history. Maybe both were too young for that move? maybe both were homesick? Who knows. In retrospect Fryers was a bad buy but at the time he looked a rough diamond we could polish

Moral of the story... Bad buy = Chairman is clueless Zero middle ground and don't anyone forget it!

Ok, so Spurs value Kane at "around £173m" but Wilf at £40m. Right. Both the Daily Mail and Spurs can FRO.

You're choosing to take it as a slight on the chairman and/or manager.

Criticising the Murray sale is Not In Hindsight. Myself and others (a minority) were screaming it at the time. Yes, he was not first choice, agreed. That's is what is so aggravating, that Pardew was such a terrible judge of a player. I don't give a monkeys about his Bournemouth record. He was good for us. That's all I care about. I am not rewriting history, so stop saying it. This was all said at the time and there is no need to get the hump just because you were on the wrong side of it.

No way will we replace Wilf with anyone as good, more likely a load of old dross. Remember the garbage Spurs bought when they sold Bale?........ditto Palace. Well Eriksen was quite the buy, they made money on Chadli and Paulinho is a regular for Barcelona and Brazil so obviously has some talent

Great stuff. Yep, I'm sure Spurs fans are thrilled by Paulinho's exploits for another club and enjoying updates on Chadli from the WBA treatment room. I notice you did not include £26m Roberto Soldado; £8.6m Etienne Capoue or £8.5m Vlad Chiriches. How did those buys work out? The current Spurs team was not built on Bale money, this is the next generation of signings. The first was a complete flop, save Eriksen, but I don't think it was worth effectively swapping Bale for him do you? Or are you now going to bang on about £30m Erik Lamela?

I'm pleased for Murray, but he is 34, has scored only 7 goals from open play in 36 appearances in the PL this season, is slow and has no assists. He's not been tearing up trees, just performing better than expected. It would have been good to have him around, but Bentenke would have started ahead of him last season, and rightly so. This season the Belgian has been poor, but an ageing Murray was never going to be happy playing second fiddle. And he wasn't, and he left, the end. When he left I thought he was looking slow and off the pace and I have never changed my view on that.
