Happy New year The Absolute GOAT The Absolute GOAT :angehug: Genuinely.

We hate each other, love each other , and feed off each other in equal measures.

Let's both remember, this is just a forum, and at the end of the day, we both have the same Spurs goals at heart ❤️

We'll no doubt resume our spats in 2024, but I know you're Spurs to the core, and I think I should learn to respect that when things get a bit heavy in the future..

I'll never put you on ignore, but one of my new years resolutions is to treat every X as a compliment.

Have a great one pal 🎉

Oh...xx
WTF is going on here? Mutual respect?!?!?
This place ain’t what is was. There goes the neighbourhood.

Happy New year all. COYS!
 
I don’t disagree with you that he didn’t want Sanchez. I don’t think he wanted either Dier or Sanchez and of the two I think Dier would have gone first if there was a buyer but there wasn’t.

We sold the one that had value and a buyer. I don’t think Dier was retained out of preference.
Last I heard in the summr was that Dier wanted to stay and fight for his place.

Bentancur can play any midfield role without dropping a level, our only player who can. For me it’s where as a team we get the most use from him, in the 6 he made the Villa midfield look impotent until Cash did his dirty but he also looks amazing in the space Sarr or Maddison play in.

Bissouma is an out and out 6 so I assume if they play together Bentancur will play further forward. I am happy either way but would love next season to have a midfield of.

6: Bissouma, Vermeeren
8: Sarr Gallagher/Alternative option
10: Maddison Kulusevski
6/8/10 or wherever needed: Bentancur

I think our most balanced midfield would be:

Bentancur (8) Bissouma (6) Maddison (10)
Kulu isn’t the same level as MADDs in the 10 role. Doesn’t have the same creativity and how often do we see him wriggle past a couple of players with good dribbling skills like MADDs does?
 
100% or ollise. Both have skill and control , composure far better the CG slightly diff positions I know. However they would offer something different to the team. Both are miles better than kulu and BJ.
They both drift out of games for long periods, off the ball they switch off as well, especially Eze. like them but they’re inconsistent. If we watched them each week they’d be getting criticised as much as Kulu and Johnson. Olise is also quite predictable in his movement on the ball and that is for a team who play on the counter generally and have a lot of space to run into.
 
Not exactly our wingers are touch line abd get to byline? Olisse is miles better in skill and technique than who we have. You can just tell by the way can bring the ball under control.

No they're not? :confused:

Oliseh is great but he's an inside forward so he is likely to cut in on his left, we need our wingers to stretch the pitch because our full backs play in the pockets.
 
And? Postecoglou is some sort of immune to criticism/complaints?

hall of fame game missed the point GIF
 
I’d have preferred Scott to CG at half the price and has great dribbling ability. Yet will pay over twice as much for someone who is functional at best. £100M on BJ and CG seems like a lot of money on players who are not game changers. I’d have Scott and Eze / olisse or the guy from sporting Lisbon ( gonckave) than the two mentioned. We may even had some money left over for that CB which is what we really need!
