Champions league,decent brand of football, potential title winners over the next few seasons.
The only thing not going for spurs is their wage structure.
That and they are a bunch of cunts.

they will certainly aim to cement their position in the top 3.

Has any of your predictions this season come true, you quite positive at start of season about our signings too
I'm sure you said something similar at the start of the season re: spurs.
Spurs are miles ahead of us, its just painful

Listen, Spurs might look good now. But check Harry Redknapps managerial history and the clubs he's been at. Short term success and then trouble. Just wait and see.
As for the other part. Only Downing has been a huge let down. I advocated Enrique strongly and that has worked out ok hasnt it???

Where the fuck does all this 'Spurs will defo implode' bollocks come from?
They have a YOUNG and massively talented squad. They offer Champions league football and title ambitions. I cant see them imploding even if Dirty Harry does leave.
Their players will only leave for top 1-2 teams in other European domestic leagues, who in turn will have to pay massive fee's for the players, so its not beyond plausible that Spurs will reinvest those $$$ into more classy players.
Their backed well enough and the wage structure is the only thing that can potentially hamper them, which I imagine will grow as their status as a top club does. Keeping hold of Modric was a massive coup for them.
I think ourselves, Arsenal and Chelsea are far more likely to drop like stones than Spurs are.

Me neither. I think Spurs are here to stay, at least for another three seasons or so.
And any footballer with any sense at all would join them over us right now. They key thing for Spurs is how they replace Adebayor in the Summer.

Yeah, Adebayor is quite the Stick or twist moment for them. He's been fantastic for them this season and Im sure they'll be trying to negotiate his wages down in a view to snaffling him up in the summer.
Was gutted we weren't in for him last summer and if they do decline, would like to think we'd be in for him as obviously are wage structure is slightly more attractive due to its fragmentation.

They reported their first financial loss in the same year they were in the CL for the first time.
Why do you think they sent 3 high earning squad players out on loan in january sold Pav for 6 mill and bought Saha for free? Even though they were linked with everybody, and Redknapp talking about every player out there.
If Modric and Harry leaves this summer then the problems could start sooner rather than later imho.
Will be interesting to see.

We'll see but they would have a godly midfield if this happened(and if they could keep Modric et al.).
Bale----------VdV---------Hazard
--------Parker-----Modric---------
Bale----------VdV---------Hazard
--------Parker-----Modric---------
The elephant in the room for spurs is wages - they are not paying all Adebayor's - he is refusing a pay cut to join permenantly, Modric will be off to Chavski who can afford
200k a week and Barcelona are sniffing around Bale - how long will he resist his wages doubling as well as the tax advantages currently available on the continent. Be interesting to see how and who they will replace them with but along with a potential new manager to bed in its probably going to be a hugely disruptive summer for them

Modric may end up rethinking his move to Chelsea after the way this season has gone.
The only teams that can afford Bale and represent a step up are City and Real Madrid.
They've been sniffing around a few strikers in recent years that are in the £20M bracket so they've probably got money to spend on a replacement for Adebayor if he doesn't agree a move.

And they are making progress in their plan for 56,000-seater stadium...

Utd, city, Chelsea, spurs, arsenal.
Those five clubs will all be ahead of us in every way in a couple of years. Including long term revenue through gate receipts. That's worrying.

We're ahead of City and Chelsea on revenue, Spurs are miles behind presently.
They're reaping the rewards of investing in youth years ago and developing them.

Seriously though, all this "teams will be doing this in a few years, we'll be here, they'll be there" is just bollocks. If football has taught us anything, it's that it's unpredictable. And that's without throwing the economy and the every changing governing bodies rule books into the mix.
Redknapp could leave Spurs and besides that, they're a team without any real ability to build because players just don't play for them for the love of the fans etc, Arsenal are the same. Their best players will always move on and then like us, at times (with Torres, Alonso, Masher, Macca) it becomes about how well you replace players, whether you have a successful manager and/or stability at the club.
We could suddenly click and makes great strides. Or we could continue in this vein, lose Dalglish and build again with someone else, successfully or unsuccessfully. There's no great predictions as to where teams will be based on one season. Chelsea were the team to beat for a few seasons, as were Arsenal, and we've had successful spells amongst the years of their dominance. The same can happen with City. Despite the league being more competitive, more money in the game, etc, United are still the team to beat and no one else is responsible for our fate but ourselves. Same as it was 10 years ago.

Adebayor got a goal and 4 assists last weekend.
That's like career stats for some of our players.

If Tottenham are front runners for this lad's signature, we need to get our head out of our arse and seriously challenge them.
I always imagined he'd be off to Real or Barca but if he's genuinely quoting Spurs then we need to do everything we can to get him.
What have they got we haven't? Apart from they're doing better than us right now.
OK their CL status is pretty much assured for next season, but surely our heritage, status and past success still count for something when we're challenging for a player's affections with a team who have only been good for two years.

A footballer will care more about this than anything we can offer.
