At the end of last season, the talk was about improvement. football London have named the team they expect to line up against Leicester
Vic, Porro. Romero, van der Ven, Udogie
Biss, Sarr, Maddison
Kula, Richie, Son
Every one of them were here last season. So where is the improvement. The new kids may well break into the side later in the season and we may get players in later in August but I was expecting at least 1 new player to start the first match. Football London normally have a good idea of selection.

I’d be amazed if we don’t get a single new player in the next mknth

Did you expect "football London" to magically put players who don't play for Spurs in an expected line up for Spurs?

😂 😂 😂

Genuinely perplexed by the weird faith people have in the even weirder looking Lange character. I've never looked at his work at Villa and thought this bloke is the business. And the he moves like a Ninja in the shadow crap is even funnier. It amounts to one line for Gold.. Strange AF fanbase 🤔

Super Weird. Also I find absolutely perplexing our fan bases no1 target. They have a weird obsession with Eze. I want forwards that improve us massively:
Nico Williams
Rafael Leao
Lauturo Martinez
Most Spurs fans seem to want the same strategy of either signing players with massive potential or signing these 2nd tier players who are good players but not world beaters.

And that’s what we do,we keep players who might step up but never or rarely do. Fuck me can we just learn from the past. To name a few Ndombele,Sessegnon,Gi and Lo Celso. I’m confident Richy can join that list as he won’t start many games if he’s here next season especially when we sign a striker. I’d say Deki is in front of him now too.

Exactly, he’s been here for two years hand has struggled to stay fit and struggled to score. If a half decent offer arrives there is no reason to keep him. We need to start being ruthless with our flops.
 
If other Premier League teams were making major moves I would feel discouraged. But, that isn't the case, and I don't see players like Eze who have been discussed as major targets signing elsewhere. When the team gets back, things will start picking up. It is frustrating, but it is not entirely unexpected.

If you're gonna be ruthless with Richy, you gotta act likewise with Bissouma...he too has been with us for 2 ish years and bar a 10-game purple patch, he's done sweet fuck all. At least with Richy it's (mainly) to do with injuries.

And they ain't the only ones needing a big kick up the arse. Maddison had so many poor games. Kulu's form was way too inconsistent...though at least he kept working hard. Udogie doesn't get a pass cause of his age...had some great games but was also guilty of not giving it his all on more than one occasions. Even the Head Coach deserves some stick.

Even if we buy someone he hasn’t had a preseason, so I reckon the team that starts against Bayern at home also starts v Leicester.

I will guarantee Richy doesn’t start our first game.
