Was it @kaneson that switched? I forget, you're basically the same person to me.Wehey!! My first alt account accusation. Wish you'd picked someone more notorious though, UselessCunt isn't (wasn't?) very prolific.

A squad needs variety, it's not bad to have 2 different profiles in Johnson and Kulu at RW.I saw the interview with the Sky bloke who said he spoke to Ange and Ange said he really did want Johnson and described why he liked him - quick, two footed and would suit his system etc etc.
If this is the case, why the fuck did he green light the Kulusevski transfer?
"Made no attempt" to get one. ?Indeed! That’s why I posted that Ange has made some curious decisions and statements. His got Johnson bco he dies rate kulu much on the right otherwise fiend £50M on him when what we really needed was a CB. Something he said himself as well but then have made no attempt to get another one. Apart from the last min desparate links.
Must have been measured when he ran up the stands a few years ago, because other than that I don’t recall any bursts of speed.Mate, that's Dier.......
(Well 2nd fastest anyway........ After Walker........ Who's been gone for 6 eyars........ sudoku told me.)
If we can keep Romero and VDV out there we're fine, if not we're fucked. No real mystery in it.I’m far less worried about the front 3 than I am about the lack depth at CB to be honest.
You've misinterpreted what I'm writing.
We've lost Kane who is our best player. However we've transferred in some players that improve us- but I don't think that itself compensates for losing 30 goals a season.
The reason I think our first XI is better than last season is because of Ange, as he's improved players we already had. For example, he'll take Bissouma and Sarr onto the next level.
So the manager isn't the only factor, but it is a decisive factor in why the current XI is better.
No, I said "But very worrying that we lost kane and didn't bring in strong reinforcements at CB and attack."
We already had the players you listed before we lost Kane. We had an injection of 100m from that... and practically did nothing.
Sarr and Bentancur are great defensive midfielders discovering the art of scoring. Attack wise, Conor is more proven. Disappointed we didnt get himhed be coming as 4th choice CM. he aint ahead of bissouma, sarr and a fit bentancur. for a team that only has one domestic cup and league games hes going to get fuck all football.
It’s a big gamble to take considering the drop off from Romero/VDV to Dier/Sanchez.If we can keep Romero and VDV out there we're fine, if not we're fucked. No real mystery in it.
Front 3 we still don't know what to expect.
Agree with the squad part. Also, I think Rich is more likely the one replaced than Kulu"Made no attempt" to get one. ?
How do you know he didn't want another one ? I'm sure he did. Levy & co didn't get it done though.
As for Kulu and Johnson, how about squad depth. Two players for every position and all that.
Plus , we don't know Anges plans for Johnson. He might already have plans for him to play centre forward.
You watch the transfers in the Premier League today and see players fans are excited about. They aren't coming to Spurs.
sarr is not a defensive midfielder. hes a proper CM. box to box, the kids a playerSarr and Bentancur are great defensive midfielders discovering the art of scoring. Attack wise, Conor is more proven. Disappointed we didnt get him
Proves my point exactly. Any ambitious athlete would not respond well to being benched(phased out). These are the same lot that have failed to win us silverware. The mentality at this club the last few years have been poor,Why would they unless the pieces fell exactly into place? Cushy contracts, great facilities to stay fit and a London lifestyle? Why go out and prove yourself at your former clubs expense unless you actually value what’s left of your whole career (as opposed to what benefits you right now by staying put?)
Take Maddison out of ours and what do we have?
A team that finished 8th
serious lack of pride from these fucking losers. but then thats what they are, losersProves my point exactly. Any ambitious athlete would not respond well to being benched(phased out). These are the same lot that have failed to win us silverware. The mentality at this club the last few years have been poor,
Lloris and NDombele for sure.
Gil was one we could’ve left unregistered too worst case scenario due to his injury.
People have to get over the 50m. 50m is equivalent to 30m a few years ago. It’s the new normal. You have to adjustShit window again..we needed at least 2 cbs and a striker and that was before kane was sold..
Then we blow the best part of £50m on some very average forest youngster, instead of just buying a quality cb with that money...pathetic...so we now have nobody to play at cb if romero or van de ven get injured..that should be considered negligence in my opinion....I cannot believe we paid nearly £50m for this johnson guy, are we fucking serious....
All three waiting for Levy to pay their contracts.It's too fucking comfortable at Spurs for too many players with no real pressure to perform, or god forbid, win things.
How the hell do we still have Ndombele and Los Celso on our books.
