He didn’t say we don’t need to fix set pieces
"Ange Postecoglou was bullish on the subject of defending set-pieces ahead of Tottenham's meeting with Chelsea. "I don't see it as an issue,""

 
Some daft cunt on Spurs Community has posted the following. To be fair, this hasn’t come from one of the so called ITKs, just a random, so there might actually be a morsel of truth in it:

Good afternoon, I am not ITK of any sort however, I had some information given to me yesterday by someone within the Brighton camp that we are getting Simon Adingra. I’m just passing this on as I know nothing about him
I fucking knew we would be linked to one of their wingers as soon as the Gruda stuff came out.
As I saii yesterday (and i actualy forgot a couple of them) Brighton now have Gruda, Mitoma, Adringa, Minteh, Cozier Duberry AND Ibrahim Osman who they just signed for 16m not to mentionSully March who plays out wide and Joao Pedro can play there.

They are definitely going to shift someone.

FW - Richarlison, Solanke, (Son)
LW - Son, Werner, Solomon
RW - Kulu, Johnson, Moore
CM - Maddison, Bissouma, Bentancur, Sarr, Skipp, Gray, Bergvall, Lo Celso
LB - Udogie, Davies, (Spence)
RB - Porro, Spence, (Gray)
CB - Romero, VdV, Dragusin, Phillips
GK - Vicario, Forster, Austin

How on either does anyone justify bringing in more new players without clear outgoings?
 
Yet people shitted on Neymar, and to a lesser extent Hazard.
Some.people will do that, it's just personal opinion.

Ginola was the very definition of "mercurial winger," he could disappear in games fairly often, but he's adored here.

I can remember Waddle being criticised a great deal when he first came to us. "Lazy" was a word trotted out quite often, yet he's another adored by our fans.

I often wonder how players like these 2, and even Hoddle, would be viewed by the modern fan in the modern game. I'm pretty sure that all 3 would have critics vehemently digging them out for not having certain elements to their game, but all 3 were absolute ballers.

I'd take Adingra in a heart beat.

Only got 2 years left on his contract

Yeah, Ginola was superb at home and sometimes it was like he didn't travel to the away matches. Waddle I think was a little more consistent. Both of them had the ability to get WHL on it's feet just by touching the ball - it didn't matter how far out from goal they were, you just knew something was about to happen.

Modern sport seems to be more obsessed with distance ran, pressing stats etc.
