Spurs have almost no transfer dealings whatsoever with the rest of the Big Six. But does this actually do them any good?
. They got William Gallas on a free because Arsenal were desperate to be shot of him, and bought Emmanuel Adebayor from Manchester City after an initial loan spell in a move that had only been rendered acceptable to Spurs fans in the first place byThree, though. Three deals. We know why, and we sort of understand it. Levy has, in truth, never entirely got over the sales to Manchester United of Michael Carrick and most importantly Dimitar Berbatov.
Again, going back to the Berbatov transfer, it’s easy to see what hardened Levy to the extent that he can no longer see the quid pro quo of dealing with direct rivals. If you lose a Dimitar Berbatov and get a Fraizer Campbell, you’re not going to be inclined to think this is a good way to operate. Most prosaically, they are five of the richest football clubs in the world. Cutting out those five significantly weakens your position to demand the highest possible fees. But then there’s the potential to bring players in from those clubs. You don’t need to go back far to see the benefit of having those lines open; Arsenal’s transformation last season doesn’t happen without their Man City cast-offs.
We’ve said it before, but there should never even have been a Big Six. Spurs had no business being there and among the mockery and the ripping of piss do deserve a modicum of credit for making it so and just about clinging on for over a decade now. Chelsea had an absolute disastrous blowout of a season. Long-term, though, they will suffer no consequence. They are insulated from true failure even when things go as badly as it’s possible for them to go. Last season was Chelsea’s worst-case scenario. Spurs fans won’t like it, but their worst-case scenario would look far more like Leicester’s than Chelsea’s.
