Without the stress of Europe is one HELL of a starting 11

I'm not convinced Porro can play as a defender. He's not a good tackler and was responsible for many goals conceded in the latter part of the season.

I actually think Porro will play for us a winger. Ange uses his sub well, and rotating Kulu / Porro on the right, and Son / Gil on the left could keep the squad fresh and allow us to use different systems.

Aymeric Laporte is an outstanding player who has managed 15, 16 and 12 league games in three of his last four premier league seasons. Would be an exciting signing and improves our defence no end, but I'd be a bit worried about his knees.

Only one of those seasons (19/20) was due to injury.

In the other 3 seasons, he has missed 13 league games total due to injuries & Corona Virus. He was on the bench the most of the time, so its just Pep preferred Dias and Stones, except this season, when he also preffered Ake and Akanji.

Fuck me spanners they’ve flogged their bodies for every last drop

In messi’s case he was jacked up on steroids from 14. Hrs hardly missed any football for the best part of 20 years at 50 games a season

Footballers used to do 21 to 30 and conk out

For messi to not be the outstanding player in the French league tells you all you need to know about how he felt physically

And wouldn’t want you to be my doctor … some clemency surely

3 very obvious signings, Laporte, Raya & Maddison. If we keep Kane, that’s a good starting point then we can start looking at guys from Ange’s scouting network.

I actually feel like we’ve got a few those … ‘Will be like a new signing’ situations at present

I don’t think conte did Richie any great shakes so we might see a new improved Richie

what he did with bissouma was just painful to watch

DJed spence not necessarily a first team signing but we still saw an embarrassing amount of him

And Sarr might start a few

I’m sure it’s not the case but felt like conte played the same 11 regardless… didn’t like a sub either

Edit: I’ve just had word from Daniel he was very pleased with my delivery and execution …. I fancy to get the nod on some of fix’s out tray

Excuse Me Reaction GIF by One Chicago


Probably not, if they had to play with only 10 men 30 times this season for 800+ minutes.

Why would Laporte be interested in us?

Again … no one in Europe pays big money unless your going to the top club of each league

So that leaves the usual premier league suspects

I’m a bit surprised here … 1 that he’s not getting game time and 2 why aren’t a few of the top 6 in for him

He’s Better than most them. He probably wouldn’t be delighted about coming here but everything’s a bit sore leaving the team that wins a double or treble every season

We should be all over that. If he ends up at Villa then it’s confirmed the marbles are gone

Ok you're old and have lost it so I will play nice.

If he was going for money he would have gone to Saudi Arabia. This is to wind down. He would probably get more money in any European League.

Did anyone see how good Rice and Amrabat were yesterday? Obviously Rice ain't happening but I don't see why we can't make a move for Amrabat, sure he won't be cheap and will probably need some sweet talking given we've got 0 European football but he'd instantly be our best midfielder and by a distance that would really elevate our play.
 


Posted in the Poste thread but liked the transfer suggestions:

Another person that knows their shit suggesting Tapsoba as the LCB. Said Kilman as well so maybe with Tapsoba being right-footed but plays LCB means he can also play RCB, then you sign both and get HG CB sorted as well.

Also Borna Sosa and David Raum for LB. Both looked absolutely perfect for their NT's at the WC. Sosa being Croatian and also Stellar agency, has Spurs written all over him.
Raum at RB Leipzig may already off the table but great player.
