  1. Honestly, think he’s being massively underrated by your fanbase. And I totally understand that. But he would do more than ‘do a job’ - he would be one of the best players in the championship, and your new gaffer would love him. He lost his way a bit with us, largely through style of play we were playing and confidence if I’m honest. But he will be so good in the championship at setting the tempo and progressing play. He was the stand out in, albeit a relegated, Sampdoria side last year after injury and he’s shown he can perform in two major European leagues now. Some of our fans criticise him far too much too so I wouldn’t read too much into what they say either. Needs a fresh start but can almost guarantee he’s one of the signings of the summer for you at that level.
  2. What’s the next big challenge for Pep? Score a goal at Tottenham Hotspur stadium?
  3. He’s a system striker at this level, I’m pretty convinced of it. Worth that fee to Brentford but nobody else. They’ve literally built a team around him and his strengths, the direct style wouldn’t work at a bigger team.
  4. Not sure there’s much truth in it but he fits the profile of the sort of guy we’d be looking at. Not sure he’s had enough experience just yet to warrant the job
  5. No he didn’t. Why do you just make things up. De Zerbi too much of a loose cannon for us. Any chance he had of getting the job was ruined by his antics when we played them a few weeks ago
  6. Yes it is. It’s so negative. And very unnecessary. You can be hard to beat and good defensively and still be a great attacking force. At the height of Pochettino that’s what’s what we were. Fewest goals conceded and most goals scored in a season
  7. Maybe, maybe not. Think people underestimate what an attractive job spurs is though. Even with all these current issues, all the infrastructure is in place. You get extremely well compensated for it. It’s fairly low pressure in that you succeed and you look incredible and you don’t succeed and you can just blame the existing structures and problems. Win win.
  8. Absolutely not. As far down the list as possible. Three managers in a row playing negative football. That’s not what Spurs is about
  9. Ah sorry threw me with the wording thought you meant an English player. And yeah for sure. Best partnership statistically in premier league history by a distance now
  10. Kompany not actually on the shortlist as far as I’m aware. Nagelsmann seems to be the one they’re trying for If it’s not him I think it will be Arne Slot. The Feyenoord gaffer. i just want someone that plays good football, values coaching and integrates young players
  11. These are my thoughts from January and honestly they’re not too dissimilar now. I’ll do a proper post when I’m on my laptop but my thoughts on the problems we are having are linked. It’s an absolute circus right now. Levy has completely lost the fans. We’ve had vanity project managers that are past their best and that have to take partial blame for the failures. Dreadful football, a complete lack of coaching for the squad. In contes case he completely alienated the whole team with his style of management. I’ll go in to more details later but by the end there wasn’t a single player sad to see him go. Unfortunately those players cannot be let off the hook either. Same old players manager after manager that constantly fail. Squad players like Dier and Davies under Poch now playing every week. Lloris well past his sell by date. Plodders like Hojbjerg in the middle. We have some great attacking talent still and it’s not utilised. Son coming off a golden boot told to drop twenty yards deeper and get the ball in non dangerous areas to accommodate old man perisic. The next appointment is massive. These players need coaching, they need patterns of play, and attacking emphasis. Plus we have to have an overhaul. The old guard need to go. Time to go back to what made us successful, young, hungry footballers that want to take instruction and learn, and don’t have the history of failure tied to them. We need to change the mentality
  12. Our season has fallen apart in a week. Bentancur ACL is devastating. Out for the rest of the year Bissouma broken ankle out for months Lloris knee ligaments out for two months Even Sessegnon out for 6 weeks. I hate this club
  13. Tempting fate here but hasn’t had one of those for ages now. He had a spell of them but that’s in the past. No reason he can’t play on well into his 30s, never been reliant on pace. Brilliant footballer
  14. He could, of course. But it’s still something more meaningful at this stage of his career imo. It’s like any trophy he won at spurs would mean more than getting them as just part of a super team (unlikely now) I hope he wins something though, wherever it is. He deserves it
  15. Yes. Be absolutely shocked if he went abroad. All time premier league top goal scorer is far more meaningful as an accolade than moving to a cheat code club guaranteeing multiple trophies a year
  16. So @Chickasawwill be delighted, Richarlison out injured for 5-6 weeks with him, Bentancur, Davies coming back injured , not been a successful World Cup
