Yeah I’m sure we’ve got players who can do a job there but if you remember back to last season it was a weekly complaint that our wing backs weren’t good enough.
C'mon; we all know how the script plays out. A couple of poor results and we will pick off the low hanging fruit first.
Our front 3 will miss sitters from 3 yards out and we will find a way to blame it all on Doherty for being not good enough. In turn, it will then be Royal's fault for not being able to play wing back. Failing that, the knifes will be out for Sessengon for being a poor buy and then Holjberg for not being Eriksen. Partici will be blamed for buying bargain basement Juventus rejects and finally, we will discover that its all Dier's fault and we can all sit comfortably knowing that we said 'I told you so'.
Extra points to be scored by the first person the blame in all on Levy for selling Winks.
I don’t care how anyone tries to dress it up, the fact we’re once again going into a season where Doherty, Dier and Davies are first team starters is extremely disappointing.
You just don't like the letter D....
Davies and Dier were excellent in defence last season and contributed more to our defence than Romero. Granted, they don't have fancy sounding foreign names.
I suspect Royal will be starting ahead of Doherty for the majority of our fixtures.
I doubt that very much. Doherty was playing well before his injury last season, the only reason Emerson got any time at all. Once Spence is bedded in, it will be between him and Doherty for the starting spot.
It feels like you are a cunt
This.
Had 10 chances against Roma but apparently it's creativity we lack.
10 chances created but ultimately missed by the player on the end of it.
If someone can't catch, you don't keep getting someone better and better to throw them the ball and blame the thrower when the catcher is dropping everything.
In here, out front 3 have a mare in front of goal and everyone blames the rest of the team
Davies and Dier have earned the right to be in the team.
Doherty found form before he got injured, and we got Spence who has potential to replace him.
None of that is ‘dressing it up’. I don’t care how much you want to shit on our team…you’re wrong.
What’s to dress up? All 3 were important cogs in us achieving champ lge football
For sure, Doherty does offer more options going forward, but defensively Royal is more reliable; and had one of the best stats for successful tackles last season.
With Peresic being very attack minded, its likely that one of our midfielders will be positioned permanently on the left to back him up. If the other midfielder is draw out right to cover the advancing Doherty; we would have a huge gap in the middle of the park - forcing our CB's to push up and ultimately making it easy for other teams to find space behind out CBs.
I think this summer has been a step up from 2007 when we spent £40m (which was a lot of money then) on Darren Bent, Kevin Prince Boateng, Younes Kaboul and Gareth Bale and not a single one of them made a dent on the first team for the 07/08 campaign.
And that was a shame because we had a good team in 06/07 and with a few key signings it would have been a lot better but it wasn't improved and therefore went stale and that's why we finished 11th in 07/08. The funny thing is that our last 3 trophy winning seasons were all ones that coincided with poor league form and a lack of investment in first team playing staff.
As far as this window is concerned, Bissouma and Perisic will walk into the first 11 but the others are less certain. Richarlison was signed to be a utility player and was expensive because he can cover positions that are notoriously difficult to cover effectively but the fact that the cover is there means we should get more out of Kulu, Kane and Son because they won't be as tired. Forster was signed as cover and we'll just have to see what Lenglet and Spence do on the pitch.
It hasn't been a spectacular window in terms of marquee signings but they're all signings that shore up cracks and ones that are intended to maximise the quality we already had in the team and maybe in Conte's view that is a better way to achieve success than bringing in a completely new set of players.
AC Milan want Pape Matar Sarr but Tottenham are demanding £25m
AC Milan want Pape Matar Sarr but Tottenham Hotspur are demanding a deal worth around €30million for the midfielder.
AC Milan want Pape Matar Sarr but Tottenham Hotspur are demanding a deal worth around €30million for the midfielder.
Tottenham wanted to sign a talented young midfielder before last summer’s transfer deadline.
Ilaix Moriba was a top target from Barcelona but when he picked RB Leipzig, Tottenham moved on to Sarr instead.
It was reported at the time that Tottenham paid £14.6million to sign Sarr from Metz before sending him back to the French side on loan.
Sarr featured 33 times in the league for Metz last season, starting 22 of those games whilst recording one goal and three assists.
Now back with Tottenham for pre-season, it’s unlikely that Sarr will play first-team football for Spurs this season.
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma and Oliver Skipp will all be ahead of Sarr in the pecking order.
Many were expecting Sarr to head out on loan but a permanent move can’t be ruled out now.
Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera report that AC Milan would like to sign Sarr and have been targeting him alongside Spurs teammate Japhet Tanganga.
It’s stated that Tottenham won’t even consider sending Sarr to Milan on loan with an option to buy; if Milan want him, they will have to pay up now.
Tottenham want €30million (£25million) for Sarr, giving them around £10million profit before any sell-on clause is sent to Metz.
Milan may have won Serie A and are in the Champions League but it seems unlikely that they will pay that kind of cash for Sarr right now.
Sarr, 19, is a major talent for the future and should be a player Tottenham build around moving forward unless an offer they can’t refuse comes in.
It’s almost surprising that Tottenham are even open to selling now but they have seemingly scared Milan away from a deal anyway.
He is not better. Moses was a semi-decent winger which was great talent before moving to Chelsea, and he spend plent of time on loan, where he gets plenty of experience in the PL as well. He had good speed and dribbling, and was not bad 1 on 1, also knows how to cross and score goals.
Exactly. All of them are bang average, no matter what some fanboys on here are saying. Neither is good enough for top team.
Also we started well on the market, but we are far far from 8, 9 or 10 window.
Currently we are at 6 out of 10 in my opinion.
I would have change our whole defensive line and our midfilders. We still don't have a solid CM and we are missing such player for long time. We also don't have quality winger who is very fast and can dribble great past defenders and open enemy defense. Raphinha would have been great. We need that kind of magic player.
People keep repeating Conte's Chelsea, but they had a world class Hazard and more balanced team.
Another day, another post (incorrect post) shitting on our club from you. Just come out and admit it - you don't support spurs, and you never have done.
Literally, everything in that post is wrong.
Bin vote cast for your blatant trolling - go back to Woolwich mania.
The three D's mentioned are decent enough but that's all . We will need better to challenge seriously for titles they would be good back up in a top side for me that's their level .
