    Summer 2018 Transfer Window Official Thread

    with Lamela's return, do we really need another attacking player to congest the very effective current pool being enjoyed ? the only reason for a Barkley bid would be if theres been a nod for maybe Alli, Erikssen or the like from a megamoney club. I can see ultra-silly money being offered for...

    Summer 2018 Transfer Window Official Thread

    isnt Barkley contract-less next summer, should mean available for peanuts especially with a year rehab to follow. the attacking players are fluid enough to play without too much designation of position. too many players can lead to de-motivation as many will not have decent playing-time. I...

    Rashford lol, may as well wish for Ronaldo. if Rose leaves,wouldnt mind seeing Masuaka of Spam in lilywhite. got bags of ability, pace and the confidence to play at a top club.

    Summer 2018 Transfer Window Official Thread

    he isnt played as a central striker mostly yet, accounting for less goals, but he has incredible potential so yes he would be worth at least on a par with Alli (who nowadays is more forward than midfielder anyway). his true quality comes out at intl.-level and could be a revelation at the WC...

    Alli for Rashford, straight swap. or Kane + Trippier for him.

    Seriously, what did you expect?

    Alli isnt regressing, not improving either. begiining of last season he started just behind Kane in the then ubiquitous 4-2-3-1 and looked average in congested space. when the team switched to a 3-4-3 he was played as an inside-forward mainly, just to left of Kane and did well due to the extra...

    Man City v Tottenham Thread

    just got the feeling that a few of the 'stars' were sending 'come and get me' dog-whistles to a few clubs like Utd and Madrid (to name but 2). what better way to possibly grease the way out to bigger paycheques than to get the coach, fans and ultimately the chairman to more think maybe they'd be...

    EU stay or go ?

    EU migrants mainly came in cos of Blair and Brown lol ?? I think being in the EU Single-Market and with it free movement probably had a tad to do with it, and those pesky E.Europeans having a mind of their own and deciding (by themselves) to up sticks to dear ole Blighty. youre right on...

    More top players may want to leave Spurs, says boss Mauricio Pochettino

    winning any trophy doesnt just depend on being the best. its a question of luck hugely too.... with injuries, suspensions, chemistry of players, confidence and off-field issues and circumstances. theres was/is no guarantee that an extravagant 'loadsamoney' approach would have brought better...

    Poch gives Levy a blunt warning.

    I think you need to place Levy's performance in the context of competing against the Abu Dhabi trillions (not even billions) and the likes. if we are not poor and the team/squad is right up there with the best... then thats mostly down to Levy and his advisors. don't make the perfect the enemy...

    Poch gives Levy a blunt warning.

    maybe Levy should aim for middle table with a Goldilocks-team: not too good not too bad. that way the fans won't be too disappointed if they lose. you must admit its kind of amazing that despite having little net spends for the last 10yrs+, Spurs currently have arguably the best, most valuable...

    Poch gives Levy a blunt warning.

    correct me if I'm wrong but they Levy era has also brought regular European football, C.Lge football now too and even a Cup. don't think Spurs fans have actually had it as good for the last 55yrs+, so probably 99% of current Spurs fans who's memory doesnt stretch that far back. have sold the...

    they are not that great, the team made them look it tho' yesterday. Alli is now a primadonna, and an effin dirty one at that. the Kane tackle was bad enough on Sterling but Alli's was 1 of the worst I've seen. totally premeditated to try and nobble a strategic player of a rival team for the...

    Man City v Tottenham Thread

    there were no options for the back4 as soon as they pressed. the midfielders have got to show for the ball and they didnt, they seemed unusually lethargic . always second to the ball and dwelling too long when actually in possession - as if their minds were elsewhere . could the 'Strictly'...

    EU stay or go ?

    the true EU is now the Eurozone (always has been perhaps). expect it sooner than you think to flirt with possibility of national/regional Basic Universal Incomes (irrespective of voluntary employment status ) as for the legion of highly-trained in Hospitality and Retail its doubtful, when the...

    need to congest the middle column of pitch and force them wide. their front3 will not excel at converting or even dealing with crosses. what mustnt happen is for Spurs to just defend the final third. quite confident Citeh won't collect 3pts.

    I like the process you used to come to that selection, wouldnt be averse to starting with it. but I think Alli will be recalled. I can see Sissoko replacing Winks in CM to make it a physically more intimidating for them. can even see Sissoko excelling in this sort of game.

    EU stay or go ?

    my point is that there are not nearly enough of the native-unskilled to meet the criteria of diligence, reliability and work-ethic, that will also accept v.low wages, even less job-security and little chance to allow them the dream of working towards a better life in the future. overseas...
