And despite also being a punter, I fully agree with you on this.
Levy is the most deluded person associated with Spurs.
Must be a typo. Surely. Jesus wept.
That’s pretty much what he does, stands still with his hands behind his back. He can’t run & hardly ever puts in a tackle.
Is he right handed but left footed?
Not 100% need to but it gives your team a balance. It all depends what way the manager wants to play. A right footed left centre have is ideal if you are predominantly wanting to play into the middle of the pitch because he’ll naturally want to be on his stronger foot. Again it depends if a team want to press you aggressively and where they want him take it. That’s when teams can make it uncomfortable for him. If they don’t press it doesn’t really matter because he’ll have that extra second or two to get it on to his weaker foot and play.
I’ve saw big Tosin a good few times and he’s decent enough on his left. So is Ibanez and Neilson to be fair so isn’t a massive issue if they did sign and play left centre back. I think it’s just better to have a lefty for the balance.
They've put the decimal point in the wrong place...
It should be 0.52%
People expecting him to suddenly change his nature are clutching badly at straws.
And I’m genuinely more optimistic about Ange than I was. I do like him in interviews, as meaningless as they are. And he does bring a sort of energy kick that we had at the start of Conte’s time in charge.
But I have very little faith in this ‘he’s got a 4 year contract, we will back him through thick & thin’ stuff. He will be under the same pressure as every big 6 coach faces.
I’m with this too. Ideally you go for a LCB but I’d rather have two right footers who are very good defenders than one left footed but he’s a bit crap ala Lenglet.
If the club can identify a genuinely very good left footed CB, great. But the list of obviously very good left footed centre backs in the sport is awfully short.
Right!
Makes a lot of sense to me. Left foot is best case but Tosin for example could get plenty of games on both sides.
Never seen Neilson but Ibanez is a bit scary for me. Not seen him loads but seen mistakes that give penalties.
Tosin being HG puts him ahead imo.
Then you just need a big time LCB signing
Anyone watch the game last night?
How did Madison look?

It's not true, you're misrepresenting the statistics. Try reading the fucking thing.
Plenty.
Van Dijk was the best centre back in the world at one point and hes played on the left side of defence for the majority of his Liverpool career.
Some bright moments, but didn't manage to stamp his authority on the match, imv.
You can see he would be able to strike a good understanding with Kane as he seemed to always look for Harry.
Good player though, I like watching him. Would be a cracking addition
He still looks the same
He still looks the same
So you are saying he hasn't tried a new hairstyle then?
I'll pass on him
To be honest this has and should’ve been our highest priority from day one of refreshing the squad. Right now with no champions league guys like Bastoni,Hincape and Laporte are not feesible .
I’ve watched the Italian football more now because when Conte took over I was hoping that was the market we would go into when signing players. Ibanez is a very good defender and yes he can dive in but he was part of a Roma side that were hard to break down. They were 4th best defensively and only conceded 38 goals. Neilson reminds me of Chiriches as he’s good on the ball but not massively tall. Kind of like Kjaer at AC to.
Why? What has he done in any of his appearances for Spurs that make you think he can add anything?
Sell him to a Spanish club and buy a player who is PL standard. He's not gonna suddenly blow up and become the next Bale.
Cause he's utterly wank and I've been saying it every year since at least our first season at Wembley.
He's a catastrophe and when that catastrophe is the "leader" at the back, it's no wonder our defence is the football equivalent of watching the 3 fucking stooges.
Still looks like an overrated piece of shit.
