Please explain to me how all the other top clubs can manage it but plucky old Spurs could never?Right (we differ in defining them, but nevertheless).... By your definition, this whole idea that we can get another equally high quality alt. to each of Maddison & Biss to sit on their arse on a weekly basis is utterly preposterous.
FWIW my def.: If you're genuinely considered (by the gaffa; not shit-talking no marks on the web) not to be good enough to be a backup in your primary position then you should be on the trf list.... The idea that there's this hinterland where players are "squad players" yet shouldn't be played if the #1 is unavailable is a nonsense.
..............2 x 11s and a few additional players to beef up the depth.
Many people insisted that no Europe could be a positive; but seem to not grasp the ramifications of the additional game-time when it comes to squad building.
Does it even make sense? I would love Tapsoba cos he would be an upgrade. Is Schuurs even better than Sanchez or worth the money?
For this to be more than a shirt-term sports washing/money pit/vanity project for the Saudis - they’ll need to get TV deals in Europe and North America (maybe parts of “rich” Asia.No-one? No English fan will but do you think the millions of Ronaldo fans in Africa and the Phillipines care for the history? It will be awful to us but it’s coming
The coppa America /WC qualification for SA is a fairly good standard and they will play low block teams.Again though, they play loads of friendlies against pretty average sides, their qualifiers are usually against nobodies and even WC group stage goals are often against whipping boys. International football in many ways is far inferior to top league football
Not so fast. Lakaku is not a target, but Lukaku still might be.
For Lukaku?
Hopefully he goes as well and we bring in another CB
Can't believe Hugo is still here
He’s got way more upside in the current system than Dier does.
Balogun is quality but yeah it’s not happeningTottenham are considering a move for Woolwich's 22-year-old USA forward Folarin Balogun following Harry Kane's departure
As if they would sell to us unless he is overrated & they can rip us off!

Would be great if he ended up better than all their useless strikers. Not hard tbf
