Tottenham Hotspur Discussion

[Dave]

Really rate Joe Rodon. Has all the attributes you would want for a modern day defender at his age. If he joined any mid table side he'd establish himself as the heartbeat of the defence in less than a season.

200 goals for Kane in a Spurs shirt 

[The Artful Dodger]

What a player. I remember his breakthrough season and I hold my hands up, I thought he might be a steady, decent goalscorer for Spurs, at most. But he's become one of the best in the world, consistently scoring lots of goals and now becoming a perfect number 10. 

I hope he wins something with Spurs, I think the way they have operated has been very admirable and it'd be nice to see a club that don't spend billions be rewarded for hardwork and patience. Not much of a fan of Mourinho but I'd overlook that to see Spurs win something this year, ideally the league.

Feels like there’s a bigger hype around Mourinho taking Spurs to a League Cup final than there was the Champions League

The media hype train in full flow

@Storts so is Ndombele a flop?

What a turnaround for him, as I said below to you originally the talent was obvious, he has it all, but the application was lacking. This year though ... putting it all together. One of the most gifted footballers I’ve ever seen. His balance, agility, vision, just incredible. He sees things that very few others would. Now he’s got the work rate to go with it too. Still a long way to go to reach his potential, want him to add more goals and assists since he’s playing higher Up the pitch but he’s properly turned around his spurs career and he’s one of the first names on the team sheet.

@Storts by any chance have both Son & Kane picked up minor injuries that will definitely rule them out for Thursday, and Thursday alone?

Haha not as far as I’m aware. Should be good to go.

How long do you give Mourinho?

Surely Levy is considering his position now, Spurs have one of the best attacking line ups in the Premier league all he seems interested in doing is shutting the door and praying one of Kane and Son can break away to score. It's such an outdated system and it has to be carried out by a team with a solid defensive unit and Spurs haven't got that.

He needs to go. 
 

But we can’t afford to sack him 

It’s also a vanity project for Levy 

A real mess 

[DeadLinesman]

Levy isn’t going to pay out that kind of compensation though, is he. He’ll at least wait till summer, or for a Jose meltdown and try and sack him for breach of contract

Yeah it’s something mad like 20-30 mill. Not a chance he’s paying that, especially not when we are losing so much money currently.

Really wasting Kane's best years is Levy now, at least under Poch there was progression towards the title

What if he was to win you a trophy, would that change the mindset of the fans?

Say he won the Europa league, lost to City in the league cup and continued his dodgy form in the league.

Kane isn't going anywhere anymore. The transfer fee would be that huge it wouldn't make sense given his age and the fact he has a pretty long injury record.

Yup. It’s a real problem. 

We’ve regressed massively. Liverpool may be doing the same. Those three transfer windows where we didn’t refresh the squad at all are really costing us. You can’t afford to stand still in this league and we did. We just need a bit more investment to get us over the top.

Levy has a lot to answer for

Not for me. I don’t want him here. I don’t want this football or this continued stubborn refusal to play to our strengths. He’s now started saying it’s out of his control etc. 
 

If he wins the Europa I’ll be delighted - but he should then be sacked in the summer

Our league form is an embarrassment

If he wins the Europa league he will no doubt have a huge bonus built into his contract so he could be walking away with a huge sum of money if you include the pay off as well.

Yup he has a massive contract that includes incentives on trophies. 

[Cicero]

Incredible Mourinho managed to take his 3rd season syndrome into only his 2nd.

You don't need to worry about the trophies mate, they are both coming back to Manchester..

[Stan]

Can tell why @Storts wants Jose out

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Those are shocking stats. You can back negative football when it brings results - when it keeps failing to produce results because you try to hang onto a lead but just can’t, it’s hard to defend.
