Need convincing of him, been injured quite a bit and wasn’t always that impressive when I watched him but don’t know enough. Didn’t stand out like how Ugarte or Ederson did but again just the eye test.

I get Onana is divisive but he is hyper energy, if we are looking to hold a press, win a battle and cover ground he would have been decent. That was a good signing by Villa.

Ederson from Atalanta did a very good job at pressing and tackling/intercepting in the europa league last season, no idea how he did in the league but could be an option if we're still looking.

guess that means Gray and bergvall aren't seen as an 8
 
Fine feel free to look at the publicly confirmed signings and lose your shit, I'll prefer to wait, thanks.

I'm not the one who is desperate to make you apart of anything, you involved yourself in this debate for some reason, probably because you felt left out or something, I don't really give a shit how you feel but I was just replying to the protestations of our TW and trying to use context but it's feel free to ignore it if that's how you feel.

Didn't read the rest of your post as you started ranting, can't be arsed to deal with folk who can't keep emotions in check, let's just leave it there :thumbup:

Who has lost what and where?
I have repeated number of times that "I feel we should have done more by now".
Never said that sky is gonna fall and Spurs gonna get relegated. So maybe reconsider who cannot keep emotions and imagination in check, mate :) ?

Initial post I quoted you were calling out people who feel club should have done more. So yea, I responded to it to ask - why cannot fan of the club want and maybe even expect more.
 
Yes, we only have a few #8's, Maddison, Sarr, Bentancour, Bergvall, Devine, Donley(?), Lo Celso. Let's get another one..

Can understand it though.

All well and good having lots of 8s but if none of them can actually run, what's the point?

Maddison definitely isn't an 8. Lo Celso hasn't got the legs for the system and is probably leaving. Donley and Donley I don't think are particularly athletic enough. (though both have a place)

I think Ange wants a Gallagher, Ederson type who will press and hassle like mad men. We haven't really got one of those.
 
That's false.

They spoke to Romero personally and spoke to his camp around half way through last season. Romero stated he wanted to join Madrid and Ange was definitely aware but i don't think they ever spoke to the club.

I'm 100% certain this was the case. I'm in no way shape or form "itk" (I hate itk's) but on this occasion I was aware of this.

intriguing, so he flat out said he wanted to join? guess that means this is likely his final season then if we want to get big money since he'll just have the two years to run.
very good player but strangely im not fussed
