Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Its improving all the time - once Son is back (and Sarr and Bissouma) we have Son, Richarlison, Johnson and Werner plus Kulusevski not required to play CM with Sarr and Bissouma back plus probably Solomon back from injury so we have between 1 and 3 forwards on bench as alternatives to Scarlett and Donley
Once all our players are back then the pressure will be off the new guys.
 
If he didn’t we probably don’t buy Maddison, VDV and Johnson in one window

Like it or not Ange said we spent the Kane money before we got it.
Well we bought MADDs and VDV before selling harry I think. Not getting Johnson would not have been such a bad thing. We needed a tricky winger like mahrez with skill not sure what we have with BJ. Needs to improve big time as I can’t see what his talents are.
 
alfie devine might even be ready next year, especially as backup...which is all gallagher would be anyway because hes not better than sarr and biss.
No point spending £50M plus add ons in a bench warmer and someone who isn’t a game changer. We need game changers. Keep saying MADDs is our only real creative talent. Kulu is hit and miss. Bent could do it but his also needed else where and the guy has had two bad injuries. Eze, olise, any of those youngsters we have been linked with or some player from Europe with creativity is what we need. In tight games that is what wins you it.
 
it’s beyond obvious to me now.

If we do not acquire a world class midfielder - and not just a great one like Maddison, I mean true. WORLD. CLASS.

If we do not add world class midfield talent this project is simply doomed, with a ceiling of 5th and a fun cup run here and there.

The gap between our midfield talent and the top teams is a massive gulf. It is our single biggest weakness and area of improvement. We must get world class quality or potential, don’t fucking talk to me about Gallagher.
Disagree. We have a lot of talent in midfield - they are either a) not available or b) injured or c) always suspended (Bissouma).

At the beginning of the season our midfield trio of Biss - Sarr - Madders was dominating everyone. You add Benta into the occasion and it’s possible he takes Biss’ place.

We have a strong midfield. Gio has been good too when available.
 
Eze is a ball carrier. Teams nowadays value those above players like Gallagher. I just don’t get why we’d chose Gallagher over a player like Eze. But I’d always chose technique over brawn.
Eze is on a long contract at Palace (who he chose to resign with 2 months ago) and they don't want to sell. Given he is CAA Base, we probably also know whether he wants to come and how much. I don't disagree that he is a better option.
 
Here's hoping this financial fair play prevents teams like Southampton from being rapped of everything they built and worked so hard to achieve. The anti Beyan Munich order, in Germany it's just one club, in England it's five or six clubs nipping at you like piranhas. It would be great for the game that teams across the league can compete and show that man city and their entire juggernaut of wet piss is all about spondoones
Man city will get done imo when pep goes. Needs to be a wage cap in football.
 
Absolutely does. FFP even bites Man City
Naaa, he might be touting him if he wants more minutes, but they’ve sold huge £££ the last few seasons.

Suspect given their revenues (and the upsurge Treble Winners get) last season, they are well within bounds.

Know he is supposedly (Bobb) a top tier talent, but don’t suspect we’d have funds for that type of deal right now.
