I’ve had a lot going on over the summer on a number of different fronts so I pretty much switched off on all things Spurs related since the end of last season in May. I’m just beginning to catch up on things now. Not that there’s all that much to catch up on. Our new arrivals look pretty underwhelming and not much deadwood moved on.
Until you go back and read every single post one each one of the 1780+ pages of this thread, you are not allowed an opinion. You can't just skip the misery of the transfer thread then pop in with an opinion.

Per section 149, subsection 37b of the bylaws of TFC, you must be involved in at least 6 cunt-offs per transfer thread to have an opinion.
 
Keep Harry and I think we get top 4. Levy should take the chance.

Vicario, Forster
Royal/ Porro
Romero Van De Ven, New CB, Phillips
Udogie, Davies
Bentancur, Skipp
Bissouma, Sarr
Maddison, Lo Celso
Kulusevski, Son, Solomon, Richarlison
Kane, Veliz

Look at how much better that squad looks. Keep him Daniel
Are you thinking we can get top 4 if we keep Harry based on some preseason games? This is a team that finished 8th last season and we have coach who has never coached at this level, reign in those expectations a bit. If he manages to keep his job that's a good achievement.

Not really though.

If our starters are:

Vicario

Emerson - Romero - VDV - Udogie

Bissouma

Sarr - Maddison

Kulu - Kane / Richy - Son

Then that's only 4-5 starters from last year's team.

Most still part of a squad finishing 8th, GLC become this new player all of sudden that people are expecting great things from. Vic, VDV, Udogie unproven at this level, hopefully they are great but we'll see. VDV has also missed preseason so he's got catching up to do. We need strength and depth throughout the squad too and we definitely don't have that.

Average age must be about 24 vs 28 in previous years. Looks miles better

Does the squad below not have depth? I think so…. You are right, they are unproven but better than sticking with a spine that are proven and established to be clearly not good enough….. shithouses like Lloris, Sanchez, Sess, Ndom, Dier, Hoj, Winks, Lucas etc all removed (who have cost us and dragged us down for years)

I would lean that squad even further tbh and loan Richy or Veliz and Phillips
 
Excited about VdV - he’s got recovery pace which is needed desperately since we’ll playing a high line. Need a pacy right footed CB for depth/rotation as we’re one Cuti injury away from starting Dier/Sanchez (and Cuti has been a bit injury prone) and either of them starting at central defender in a high line system is the stuff of nightmares.

Who is most? The only other player who really had any real role in that team was Bissouma, who had 10 starts and was misused by Conte.

GLC does not need to become a new player, he just needs to continue playing the way he has been for the last two years.

Being unproven at this level means nothing, Haaland and Salah were both "unproven at this level" before breaking the goalscoring record.
 
Whats peoples take on Ward-Prowse links?
I watched him a lot towards the end of last season when I thought Southampton would get relegated but wasn't overly impressed, however, he does take fucking great corners and free kicks ( as does Maddison)
so whats your thinking?

Winks with Messi level free kicks. Thing is we have Maddison for free kicks now so I don’t see the point.
 
I don’t think he is clueless. I just think he doesn’t care. Nor should he.
He had a successful career and put Tottenham in the rear-view mirror.

We still sing too many Sol Campbell songs. I’d rather just forget about the cunt and let it all go.

I know what you mean. But as a petty little cunt, I’d rather ensure that Sol knows just how much we fucking hate him…for the rest of his miserable existence.

Yeah, you're a regular wee fireman, running around extinguishing any glimmers of hope emerging...well fuck that shit...Hope is the only thing we have left...
 
any one looked at the squad regards HG, English, Overseas players ?
that must have an impact on who we ship out (if we can ship any out)

Not for me but good on the ball, which would be an asset.

He also has experience, which we lack in the middle of the park..

I doubt there is much in it beyond paperr talk and I think our greater need is someone who gives us better midfiekd control. We still lack that.

I'm keeping it real, Celtic fans came on here and said Ange is a great coach but he's got to be given time, expecting CL with the squad we have isn't giving him time. There are probably a few more players to come in who will miss a preseason, he needs at least a full season working with this squad, then next season we'll see what the deal is
