Surpised one of the promoted clubs haven’t come in for Davies. Would be a great signing for any of them. We could put the money to a new left back. He’s not really cut out to play our system

I believe it all ties into the system.
We need to control the game better up top like I say. If we are not taking those chances we have set the structure for the match. Tippy tappy around the box with no penetration.
Kill these games early and we dictate the game better imo. Including defensive structure.
The best example that comes to mind is Luton away last season. Richi missed two good chances in the first 15 mins, then we scrambled for a late winner.
Those early chances go in then we set up better defensively for the remainder of the match. Bringing them out more and giving us more chances on the break.
Oh, and of course the set pieces were an embarrassment last season. Hope we have worked on that.
Problem with Gil is that apart from being rubbish for us, when he went on loan to Seville and Valencia , he did nothing. Bite their hands off for 9m.
They've not offered that though.
They want it to be an OPTION with various conditions having to be met to make it permanent. Cheap cunts and we should tell them to fuck off.
He won the UEFA cup with Sevilla and they absolutely love him at that club.
What is the obsession everyone has with Eze good player but he plays in midfield and we have
Kulu
Maddison
Bentancur
Sarr
Gray
Bergvall
Bissouma
Skipp
He cannot play on the wing so I cannot see us signing him unless we sell Bentancur or Kulu.

It's a case of you can't win 'em all?
Cuti and Destiny outweigh this loss!
You need "Help" mate.
So far, the only report on an offer for Doue, as far as I'm aware, is the €35M that Bayern offered, which was rejected.
We've paid £40M for Gray, so I don't think his price is beyond where we want to go.
The long and the short is that we have absolutely no idea who we're in for, nor how far advanced we are in negotiations for players. POK said we're after 3, whether Doue is one of them remains to be seen.

You don't have to score goals to stop teams scoring. Just don't stand in their half all match and leave acres of space for them to expliot if they have half quick forward. Our whole plan seemed to be to rely on Mickey catching them, which is unfair on him. We need players who can keep a hold of the ball in the final 3rd and prevent teams getting out from their defence. Even then, when there's a goal kick, their keepers just hoof it long and get chances.
They won the Uefa Cup with him. IIRC he barely registered a meaningful stat during his time away.
He's definitely an enigma. He's done little anywhere to prove he does anymore than make up the numbers usually.
Thing is we now have a team in place to identify the players and get things done quicker. Ange said of last season that had already got the summer transfer plans in place. So something is a miss here.
Are you offering to be Pete Best
Yup, Maddison wasn't on song, and Kulusevski was the only other player to score much from midfield (stats below obviously show both when he played CM and RW), with Sarr chipping in a few too.
| Player | Goals | Assists | Total Goal Involvements |
| Son | 17 | 10 | 27 |
| Richarlison | 11 | 4 | 15 |
| Johnson | 5 | 10 | 15 |
| Maddison | 4 | 9 | 13 |
| Kulusevski | 8 | 3 | 11 |
| Porro | 3 | 7 | 10 |
| Sarr | 3 | 3 | 6 |
| Udogie | 2 | 3 | 5 |
| Romero | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Werner | 2 | 3 | 5 (half season) |
Worth saying that our total scored wasn't bad at all versus recent season averages - with 5 OG's !
But more goals in 24/5 definitely preferable.
Morning Mr Happy.
How you feeling on this fine and diddly dangtastic dayo? Bright and cheerful?
We still have certain people in charge, so that might not help matters.
For some time now, spurs has moved along at a snail's pace.
