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.

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.
 
We still need a midfielder with a better all round game than Sarr or Bissouma get rid of Decelso and Skipp and I think we still need another striker as Son is slowing down and the rest can’t hit a barn door

Agree on that. For me skill has gone out of game a bit and replaced by intensive running. Personally like watching skill and a bit of magic from a player.

Ange Postecoglou's flawed thinking on set-pieces hurting Spurs, Noni Madueke shining for Chelsea - The Radar

This week in The Radar column, Nick Wright explains why Ange Postecoglous attitude towards set-pieces is damaging Tottenham, how Noni Madueke is starting to flourish for Chelsea, and also has a look at Jorginhos hidden value to Woolwich

“Postecoglou feels he has more important things to worry about”

That article twisted and Spun his full quotes to feed into fan negativity.

He had a whole system to get in.

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?

Lo Celso will be gone one way or another, last year of his contract. Phillips will go on.loan. I"d imagine Solomon will go either permanently or on loan and possibly Skipp. That takes you down to a 23 man squad and then of those 2 are 18 and one 17. So 20 senior players for at least 50 games.

You cant wait until we've cleared out Lo Celso, Solomon, Skipp and Phillips or it will be last day of the window. I think we have room for 3 more signings.

Eh?

Anyway, I’d expect we will concede from some set pieces and fans will act like it’s end of days and time to bring Poch back. Then we will end up conceding way less over the season.

Also, let’s get this out the way, fuck Poch the fat traitor. Imagine Ange with that squad he had…

Waddle was never lazy but he looked lazy and looked like he dragged himself out the boozer but he was brilliant. I loved him at us.

Tbf, given that it hasn’t come from Herc or Trix I’d actually give it more of a chance of being real :ossie:

There is a deal to be done there as well just looking at it logically. Gruda and Minteh both brought in as many know but they’ve also bought another one of the Ghanaians from Nordsjaelland, Ibrahim Osman for £16m.

That’s a fuck ton of wingers, to go along with Mitoma, Adingra, Sarmiento, Solly March etc. Far too many in fact.

Not super convinced by Adingra, suppose we could do worse though.
