Yeah I rate him. Glad were not in for ollie Watkins. Another one a lot of fuss about nothing. Orban and another top striker before window shuts we need.

I'm kind of happen that they seem to need a sideways passer more.
Even Ali Gold in his latest article has reiterated the point ..
"Tanguy Ndombele appears to have missed another chance to find a place at the north London club. football.london understands that despite a bright start Postecoglou grew unimpressed with the Frenchman's attitude and application as pre-season wore on, including his time-keeping."
He goes on to also say his fitness is quite behind others and ange wont play players that cant play his high tempo as it would be a detriment to both the team and player
Paratici's Spurs involvement, Ndombele issue, Dier farce and Scott Munn arrival
Here are our Tottenham talking points after their 2-2 draw at Brentford to open their Premier League campaign under Ange Postecoglouwww.football.london
Well, I’m shocked what an unlikely turn of events
this looks like a punt rather than sure thing. nigerian kid who didnt start playing football until recently and is playing in a league outside the top 5? this is far from a sure thing. glad the price quoted is under 30m.
if we was to get him and another top striker that means we have 4 strikers for one spot? thats an overkill
We're not getting another top striker. There isn't really another top striker available anyway, Kolo Muani is going to PSG, and Vlahovic is currently linked with Chelsea (and is not a top striker anyway).
yea that vlahovic hype died pretty quick after his move to juventus.
hopefully veliz comes good quick
Yes well aware. He doesnt need to become brilliant or anything, but he needs to at least contain the his winger and have better awareness.
If he can do this, our attack will be so much better. There were a couple plays that Emerson really ruined in the attack yesterday.
Yup mediocrity is a fair word to describe it.
Its just that compared to the clusterfuck of 2019 with Ndombele, LoCelso and Sessegnon, 2020 was (sadly) better !
And its why I'm so grateful that whilst there's been a number of decent arrivals each window since (even though there will always be the odd mistake too) so in 2021 we brought in (sometimes on loans), Romero, Royal, Bentancur, Kulusevski and Sarr, whilst Gill we are still not sure of and we didn't convert Gollini from a loan - overall a better selection of players than any of 2016-20 (possibly excepting Hojbjerg and Bale). ..... so 5 players we could seriously call first team squad players. Same sort of numbers in 2022 and this window.
Amazing isnt it. I didnt know much about him when we signed him other than the hype and it literally took a 3 minute search of his name to see he had had attitude, laziness and time keeping problems through most of his career. Hitchen was meant to be a French football expert at the time as well.
Which top striker do you want?
Are there any top strikers?
I think we just sold the only one.
That's cos Levy is a tiny and bald man.
I can think of one in particular that I liked one hell of a lot tho.....
The key is spotting that potential to becone top notch.
We need to try and we most definiteky need one of some quality this window. No doubt at all.
I've shit on Royal as much as the next guy but I actually think he's tidy in this system.
Feels a lot more secure with him there. Okay you wont get the great deliveries of Porro but you also won't concede on every attack.
He needs to swivel his head and become more aware, the amount of players he lets run off him is crazy, also that 4th goal Barca scored last week, everyone blames Dier but Porro who was looking across the line didn't even bother to close the gap, mental...the guy isn't a defender at all - unless he gets some serious coaching it's doubtful he'll start for us consistently.
not got a clue i dont watch much football outside of spurs and the heavyweight clashes so i wouldnt have a clue mate. you?
these strikers from inferior leagues are always going to be a bit of a punt due to the standard they are coming from aint they.
i suppose the logical choice right now is toney aint it?
