Bit of an odd route to Lisbon, looks more like he's heading for Barcelona.
ENOUGH SCHNORRING ALREADY - ANNOUNCE MESSI!
Don't get me wrong, I do want us to win and I believe we can (esp a cup), but it's always a question of what needs to happen (and also not happen), and when I look at us vs other potential winners, trying to take it all under consideration (existing squad, potential recruits & financial might, injuries, experience/winning culture etc), I'm just saying that L'pool/City/Chel have a better chance, esp in the league where you have to be consistently great. Then we're pretty much on par with Utd & Ars, though they edge it slightly because they know how to win and have done it far more often than us over the past so many years. And though they aren't ready to win yet, you now can't discard teams like Everton, Leicester & Wolves with the managers & players they've got. It really is tough domestically for teams like Spurs, and maybe my judgement is tainted by the fact that whenever we got close recently, we crumbled...doesn't mean we would if given another chance, esp with a master winner like Mou at the helm. I'd love to see one more serial winner join our team, a proper leading voice...a Arturo Vidal would've been tremendous help for instance.
In Europe it's pretty much the same story, though surprises do happen...eh we made it to the final totally unexpectedly! And look at Lyon last year knocking Juve & City out.
Unless some unbelievable opportunity comes up i doubt it...that said, this is the window for unbelievable opportunities...
I would have prioritised a proper DM over a new CB, you could have the best CB partnership in the League but unless you have a proper DM in front of them they will still concede. Sissoko , Dier, Winks proved they weren't good enough to fulfill this role last season so what makes you think they can this season? Hjojberg maybe, but if he gets injured we are back to having one of winks or Sissoko. GLC and Ndombele need to be playing alongside a DM not trying to fulfill that role. Dont get me wrong its been a great window , i just think we should have been looking at a DM over a new CB, think peak Wanyama alongside GLC and Ndombele. And were you serious when you compared us to man city ? It was sarcasm right as you cant have been serious?
It just feels to me like the position we need a player in. I don't think Hojbjerg is 100% one but is being asked to play the position in turns with Winks. Neither of them are the destroyer I think we need. Maybe Mourinho doesn't see the need, but it would be nice to have one.
I just don't rate him that highly. Don't get me wrong, he's good, but I've watched him play several times and he's never wowed me like a VVD did before he even joined Liverpool. Plus, I just don't see him being interested in moving to Spurs when he's playing UCL football with Inter and he can also seriously compete for the title in Serie A. Even from a money perspective, Inter can offer him way more than we could. If he's desperate to play in the PL, as much as it pains me to say, it'd make more sense for him to go to Utd or Chelsea
One for the youngsters there!
Demiral would be insane
Posh is!
I’m calling it now: Dele to Barca.
Was that the American pikey lawyer who lived in a caravan?
He has been learning Spanish!
Sissoko had a great season in 18/19, probably our player of the year. Fair enough he’s been shit every other season he’s been here but it shows he’s got it in him to be a decent player. Hopefully Hjojberg stays fit for the majority of the season because he is a decent DM. I think we can afford one passenger in the side if you look at the quality we now have. We do need that CB replacement though admittedly
If we sign a centre back o top of this striker thats 7 players we've signed
The big difference is 4 of them have Prem experience and have done well in the Prem
All smart business, spending about half of what Chelsea has spent, all look to be Mourinho first choices too
Just shows how picky Poch was he wanted the best and we couldn't always get that, whereas Jose does seem to be a hell of a pull for alot of these players, if not all of them
