GuendouziThis went down well.......
Ain't that the fucker who used to play for Woolwich??....Opinions are like arseholes, I guess.
And yours is full of shit.
Matteo Guendouzi ffs
Lenglet who's only getting a handful of starts at Villa and club signing Spence who looks like being yet another complete dud of a club signing.
Yes, i think Ange would choose him over Toney tbf. He's got pace, that's how we play, high line....do you even know anything about our system?!!..
....plus Toney's a bellend....
For our rivals.
Who would you want over Werner and Dragusin?
I'm ok with Dragusin coming in, we need another CB to replace Dier, Werner is there for the short term, I want us to concentrate on building the squad with permanent signings.

We’re never going to replace Kane. There isn’t another #9 like him in the world.
Son is probably the best possible replacement for Ange’s style. I struggle to think of a realistic target we can bring in.
Don't forget the trainspotter special "player X is a bell end" as if they actually know anything about the guy. Plenty of people on here wouldn't have signed Maddison because they had convinced themselves"he's a bell end."
City will probably sign nobody
Woolwich might panic into overspending on Toney or Solanke but only if they get a mug to buy NKetiah
Liverpool will probably sign nobody
Villa, I think Emery said he expects outs more than ins.
Not sure what you expect to happen in January?
7 days to do that, well done.
When the signing gets completed, you’d BETTER apologise and say thank you for all the goddamn moaning and sarcasm.
Sometime a club also need stop-gap short term solutions. And in the case of hiring Conte it did work quite well for 1 season.
Did you say Conte was shit when Spurs qualified for the CL? Did you say Conte was shite when Spurs beat Woolwich 3-0 in that all-important game to qualify for the CL or when Son become (joint) EPL top scorer? Did you say Conte was shit when Spurs signed Bentancur, Kulu, Bissouma & Udogie (all bargains) and Porro due to him wanting them?
I was never thrilled by his footballing style and some of his rants and, yes, one got the feeling that Spurs was below his standards, etc…but Spurs really needed someone to tell L & L and the board some unpleasant truths about Spurs and the way they run the club and instill some anti-Spursy mentality. And I dare to say that he served that purpose well.
So even in retrospect I disagree that hiring him was “shit”. But it was time for him to go. And who were the other options back then anyway?
Besides, shit can be used as compost for new things can grow.

It is a great compliment to Emerson, that he has played RB, LB, CB this season and given everything, his initial newbie weaknesses at LB and CB in particular seems to diminish quickly, as he has a near perfect attitude., an utter trier.
The weakness chiefly with Emerson and Davies is set pieces, (hardly their fault, not being 6’2+ or having a unit alongside one or other) as also that is Vicarios weak spot, playing out is also not the best, but it’s worth noting, the same as at LB, that the angles and runs of players are all new to him in those positions (LB, CB) and his improvement curve at most things is really good.
As Ange said about facing adversity, now we know we have two very serviceable CB backups, hopefully Davies 4th Choice with Dragusin 3rd, Emerson 5th in emergency. Their experience now allows some minutes rest, should VDV have a game he sprints several times to protect his Hamstrings, or Romero gets a yellow and looks to have the red mist etc.
Yeah sure.
Why aren't they his ideal choice?
The fundamental difference between AP and Conte, where transfers are concerned is as follows;
AP: " I want a player who meets these various criteria."
Conte: "I want that player and that player alone."
One provides various options, the other none.
I expect us to take the opportunities we have to build our squad like Ange wants, then perhaps we'll have a bigger chance of qualifying for the CL and it gives us less to do in the summer.
Then maybe you should respect the FACT that Ange pushed for Werner, and hush up.
It’s about what Ange wants, not what you want.
Got it? Good!
