Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If we're playing against an extremely low block, chances are we take off Son.
If Kane isn't playing well, Kane.
If Kulu isn't playing well, Kulu.

Our fans have to start understanding that a great team doesn't have 11 world beaters and the rest should be average. Sometimes it's ok if one of the great players starts from the bench...
Where did I say that "the rest should be average"? Of course, any fan who understands football also understands the need for a strong bench. Why do you think there are so many posts mentioning the need for backup quality forwards?
It's 2 players, not just 1, who need to give place for Eriksen and Toney.
The hallmark of world-class strikers, like Son & Kane, is that they can score "difficult" goals even when playing badly. When was the last time Kane got subbed for not playing well? Or Son?
I bet unless Kane and/or Son got injured Conte would never them off in, say, a CL game where a goal would help Spurs qualify for the next round. Kuluseseskvi off, yes...but if he keeps on improving and scoring, most probably not either.
Taking off a CB, yes, that could make sense and replace Eriksen with 1 of the 2 CM....but then Spurs would have to change the formation from 3 to 2 at CB.
 
150 million doesn't go as far as you'd think in 2022. Unless there's some defender out there who would shine regardless of system I'd rather we didn't blow half our budget on a CB. Bastoni ticked all the boxes for being worth a big fee, I'm not sure the others do.
I would blow it on 1-2 players and then play the free market. If Conte thinks CB or RWB is most important then spunk the fund. See Allison and VVD
 
I would think there are a few reasons.

One has to be the heart issue and whether Eriksen can be insured to play anywhere in Europe?

That Eriksen, now 30 and as above will not be able to or should expect to start each match.

Third, does Eriksen himself want a lesser role bevause that's what it would be.

As a squad addition I agree it's a no brainer but this is not a completely usual situation.

If reports are to be believed then CE himself is seeking CL football, so must have some kind of indication that UEFA would allow it...

Safe to assume if he's allowed to compete in the Nations League in the current int. break then it's a non-issue.

I wonder would the reasons he wasn't allowed play in the Italian league come into play if he signed for us and we were drawn against and Italian team?
 
lenglet and soucek lol

getting into the CL these are the names i was not expecting

soucek is no different to what we have and lenglet well no need to explain that one
Yeah they're qualified for Europa players at best with Nuno as manager. Opportunties to attract real top talent dont come around that often, we have everything in place this summer and need to make the most of it.
 
To the people saying ‘move on’

Shut the fuck up. 🙄
