Yeah, Exodus, there will be a huge queue for a bunch of over the hill players on 5-10x what they are worth in wages…

Personally, in a fantasy world; I'd love to see us play DM + 2 x advanced 8s (as originally mooted as Ange-ball last summer); but until we see it in the flesh I'm not inclined to legislate for it.......
The thought of eg:
Bentancur
Maddison / Kulu
....for example; sounds exciting; but so far this season we've always seen Ange pick 2 of Sarr/Biss/Benta/Skipp/PEH and reducing that pool by 1 player when we'd hope to be greatly increasing out fixture list makes no sense.
More likely to see Maddison imo imo.
Really enjoyed listening to him the other day. His guest appearances are the only reason to ever listen to LWOS.
We can add unlimited numbers of players for a UEFA match on a List B - list B defined as players under age of 21 who have been at Spurs for at least 2 years. So next season that would exclude Ashley Phillips for example, but include vast majority of others,
Ndombele, Janssen, N'koudu, Lenglet, Gollini, Vinicius, Hart, Sessegnon*, Gedson, Pau Lopez, N'jie, Fazio, Stambouli, Paulino
*Willing to give Ange a good look at Sess. Even Sissoko came good eventually.
Fair; agree to disagree.
Part of my reasoning is that I know Gallagher may be our Hojbjerg replacement... and I would prefer that 35m to be spent on an attacker.
We also have to be careful about the HG limit, which we're over in UEFA.
He'd better be wearing some tights! Gotta protect those hamstrings!
Haha. The "climate" is a bit odd. That or Merseyside? And the culture on that comparison for that matter!
In a utopia absolutely; but I will always advocate for young players getting as much game-time as poss.
We've seem from Poch what token-ism over youth (leading to splinters) can do to both the player in question AND the outlook of the lads still in the academy waiting to 'graduate' to the men's game.
We'll get an attacker in the Summer and will have much more to spend so we are good on that front.
Vinicius wasn't that bad. He didn't play much. When he played, he did ok.
Unless it's a female wrestler, sitting in your face and telling you to tap out if course...But the deal didn't fall apart and then get resurrected. That's just nonsense agent/italian media bollocks.
And nobody tells me what to do!
But can they also count as Club Trained?
"Hey; we'll give you all our crap in exchange for your best player...... Deal?"
"What do you mean 'No Thanks' "????
Maybe it's just me, but I get the feeling that BM have said lower the price on Dier and we'll step away from Dragusin.
At least Ndombele Janssen, Nkoudou, Lenglet, Vinicius, Sessegnon, Njie, Fazio, Stambouli and Paulinho played games and contributed in some way at some point. Even if you didn't particularly rate them.
Gedson was a random loan. Gollini, Hart and Lopez were back up goalkeepers.
Spence cost us more than the majority on that list. Has done nothing but get kicked out out on loans TWICE and been sent back from one of those loans due to his attitude. Not even Ndombele and his laziness was ever forced to train with the u21s.
Could Romero play in the Hojbjerg role? If Dragusin and Micky kill it at CB?
