An interview on ESPN claiming that Wanyama wants to stay and fight for his place.

He's currently on his post AFCON 3 week break, comes back next week. I assume will have a preseason chat with Poch next week.

Wanyama interview could be simply trying to ensure Spurs have to pay up rest of his contract if he is transferred of course.

If Wanyama watched the Juve match he might have seen Skipp send to be doing rather well in Wanyamas absence - wonder if Poch will mention that.

I love Wanyama but one problem with his knee could leave the squad a man down for the season. Sad but true.

As far as I understand they should be last. From a moral perspective, but also because Woolwich comes after Wolverhampton in the alphabetical order.

I think everyone has missed the point. Why with still a few weeks to go to the start of the season does anyone think that showing a Premiership table listing teams in Alphabetical order means anything. Last season's table is more interesting or no table at all.

No, it would be a very poor window. Patently.

I can't say this enough. Ndombele fills the Dembele hole, that brings us to par. You've then let five first-teamers go (you forgot Llorente) and brought in one ready-to-go first-teamer (you hope, he may need time to adapt) and one replacement for Rose who (a) isn't nearly as good a defender and (b) is still very young and will need to learn.

So by my calculation we'd be -2.5, and once again relying on players staying fit, not getting tired, having to play out of position, not losing form...

Agreed.

Losing lots of first teamers and bringing in 2.

Piss poor window at present

Didn't Sissoko fill that hole bearing in mind his performances compared to previous years (he was like a new player 😉 ) and Skipp, whoever or no one replaces pre-last year Sissoko as at times playing no one would have been beneficial. Dembele was replaced, pre god mode Sissoko wasn't.

That's how I see it anyway.

Mate, that paragraph is one sentence. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not picking up what you're putting down. Care to try again?

Ceteris paribus?

Don't make me google shit.

And I agree that Toby is staying and I don't think losing him for nothing is as big a deal as some are making it out to be considering his market appears to be about £15m at most at the moment. If Eriksen and Toby stay and we don't buy a RB/LB I think Poch will need to put his money where his mouth is because that's a big risk/hope that he can develop those positions more or less overnight. But it may be a risk worth taking considering the midfield cover will be much better.

Google getting you down? On an iPhone, long press then choose ‘lookup’... one for the consummate lazy fucker, that.

No, there are a handful of players globally can do what Dembele does. Sissoko and Winks are filling the hole, not replacing the loss. Ndombele has the pivot and close control to help beat the press that Dembele offered.

Fair play to Sissoko, his approximation of a wrecking ball can have a similar, if slightly less subtle effect but Ndombele will really show his class the first team that tries to press us, you watch.
