I agree we need a DM.

Doesn't Dragusin play DM? I might be wrong, but I saw him play there before late in a game as a sub? I can't tell what his distribution is like, tbh, haven't seen enough of it, but guessing that's why he's not being tried out there more often?
He's not a DM...

 
Between the 2 - neither are mind blowing but Toney is the safer choice.

Honestly, not blown away by Gimenez but he has CL and Europa goals already and has been prolific at every step he's taken. Doesn't need loads of touches to score and has been working in Feyenoord's manic pressing system so seems a good fit for Angeball.

If Richy stays and we can send Feyenoord Gil and 25m, I can see the logic of having depth and competition at #9.

You never saw him play for Tottenham as a sub in midfield. Have you watched him play ever? He’s a centre back and nothing else. He’s not overly comfortable on the ball and at centre back is the easiest position on the pitch to pass the ball. He’d be absolutely torture in midfield. He’s a very good centre back in a back 3 or 4. He’s as close to an old school no nonsense centre back you’ll get.
 
It was great to see Ian Wright on MotD Saturday night agreeing with what the more sensible among us have been saying for years. That Levy hasn't backed his previous managers. He went on to say that he needs to change this approach and seriously back Ange this summer if we are to have a chance of progressing.

Yes, he's a gooner. But a gooner that most sensible Spurs fans respect.

Interesting summer ahead. Let's all hope Wrighty's words are heeded.
Indeed. Agreed.

And who in your opinion should we be signing to constitute backing the manager? Come on man. Give an option instead being a backbench MP heckling every option without alternative
 
Why the disagree Richard Arlison Richard Arlison surely you’d agree Giminez is a massive risk?

I’m not gone on Toney at all but we know at least he can score at this level

Toney is an even bigger risk.

40m for a 29 year old that's fallen off and wants massive wages. That's the kind of Casemiro or Varane signing that has UTD in such a mess. And if it doesn't work out we already know he's very likely to start acting the cunt.

Yeah ok I see what you’re saying. I agree that Richarlison needs to stay.

My concerns on Giminez are obv the league he’s coming from and that he’s only 6ft so I’m just not sure.

Like you say though if Richy stays, I’m fine with Giminez coming in.

Summer transfer thread. 2020

We can laugh now, but don’t forget, there were many on here who genuinely believed that that 2020 window was 9 or 10/10 window…

Seriously scary lack of football knowledge and incurable levels of delusion from some were exposed badly that summer. And Conte’s summer window was nearly worse…

I think we are on exactly the same page mate tbh. For Gimenez and Richy at least.

I’m sure we’d all love to see Isak or Gyokeres/Sesko/Openda rocking up but unless Levy is selling the club, that’s not happening.
 
The big money needs to be spent upgrading the forwards, for sure. But we cannot go into the new campaign with no real back up/competition for Udogie and Porro.

If we plan on playing ~20 more matches next season, we’re going to need two competent full backs that can push both players.

Maybe Spence can be that on the right? I don’t think Ange was too thrilled with him, though.

Correct,we won’t be in for any of those players although we should be and nothing to stop us trying.

That’s the bit that pisses me off most. We have the funds to do it. They would all fit perfectly for us too.
Fuck it Daniel,just sign the three of them 🤣
 
Aaaaaaaaannnnddddd , they’re off, the gloves that is

Once the window opens it will be a war zone in here.
