I seem to remember us being very much in the Olmo conversation. I don't remember the numbers but it was something like they wanted something like £16 m and we offered £13m. What's he worth now, £60m or thereabouts?

Penny wise, pound foolish, not for the first time.
I think very often it's a case of Chairman Levy needing to feel he got the sharp end of the deal. Or he won the negotiation and beat his opponent down.

No.

I believe he'd join if he's told that the position is his if he proves he's better. Again, top quality competition for a challenging squad.

I expect that if City, or any other top side, were in for him, he'd be told exactly the same thing.

But we're not bringing him in to be a manager so who cares about a fans opinions on his managerial ability?

You understand being a coach and being a manager are two completely different job roles, yeah?

Can you name me Guardiolas assistant manager? I imagine not. But if you can, how was his managerial career by chance? Any good?
Intresting take better let Chelsea and Woolwich know about this whole managerial ability thing...not correlating to coaches. I think you're totally wrong. All the problems this current Spurs team has in my honest opinion are managerial in nature. It's shh I want someone in to genuinely challenge Ange's thinking. It's more that a,set piece coach. I'm not going to lie, I'm increasingly disappointed by the way I see this going. Love Ange but I'm very pessimistic .

What?

Who are Woolwich and Chelseas first team coaches and what are their managerial experiences?

Fucking hell, can tell it's not even pre season yet when people are genuinely pissing and moaning over staff appointments 😂

The Euros is on, go and enjoy it.

2 big problems:

Ange is Australian and that will always work against him for people that have decided it's the main reason we lose any game.

The Euros have actually been shit aside from a couple games and England are even shitter.

Bonus problem:

Lange doesn't feed the beast for leaking transfer business so there is fuck all to talk about.

This is where the problem really lies.

Spurs fans have an inferiority complex, which has been fostered by Levy almost never splashing for real depth or allowing a project to last long enough to develop depth from within.

No chance City fans would be even half worried about how to persuade Calafiori to come, even though they have Gvardiol and Ake. Gvardiol came for 90m when they already had Ake...
Liverpool also linked with Calafiori and they have Van Dik. You think any of their fans have contemplated for a minute if he will come to be Van Dijk's back up?


Course they haven't. Spurs fans have a fear of success more than a fear of failure.
 
Squad game mate.

We've been crying out for quality off the bench so our levels don't drop when we make changes. We've wanted it so that key players have competition for their places. Their form or effort drops, they get dropped and left out if their replacement performs better.

We don't have to shoehorn every new buy into the first team, no matter what they cost, nor pass them up just because we have a good player in that position already.

Eze makes sense, because he'll push Maddison and vice versa. He also enables us to change tactics during a game, if we want some extra creativity on the pitch.

We're building a squad to challenge, not a first 11.

No way we we will bring in Eze for a squad place, we ain't smashing our transfer record just to sit him on the bench, you are absolutely having a right bubble 🤣

People doing way too much, this fanbase is genuinely hilarious.

I don't think it's that at all mate, it's just narrow mindedness, with the utter belief that they 'know the game.'

I won't argue with the conditioning, though you need to caveat that with where we were and what we could offer, when ENIC took over.

The irony is that it's the ones whining about a 'small club mentality' that display that mentality the most.
