How Dry should our Powder be?

Not fussed on the midfield:

6) Biss, Bentancur
8) Sarr, Bergvall, Gray
10) Maddison, Kulu

If one of Gray/Bergvall can break into the starting XI it probably means we go up a gear.

Think we need more than Sarr offers in 70% of games.

I still think with the way we play we could do with a Kante style pitbull which would help us tactically in games. Someone who can press, track, cover runners, ball carry. Sarr is the only one of that type and not quite that type.

Yeah I suppose my point was the numbers are there.. whether the quality and mentality matched up is still tbc..

Few more sales to help balance the old books and keep the PSR guys away from our door and our window will be complete

A triumph of footballing operation

Imagine if we can flog Richie to Saudi and Romero to Real.
We can brag about spending over £100m and still not be skint.

Of course people will be patient if the likes of Moore, Gray, Bergvall and Odobert are given plenty of chances.

People lose patience watching the same old plodders plod about.

The issue is many are never satisfied.

Midfield

Winks is shit! He is sold.

Hjojberg is a plodder, he is loaned

Now Sarr, Bentancur, Biss are shit. And it will go on and on.

We all know better

Some will never be happy even if we signed prime Maradonna, Messi, Xavi and Zidane!

Get behind the team FFS!

You're right, it's no Real Madrid but I'm sure we'll get by.

Dont be daft.

The youngsters need quality to emulate.

Sarr, Maddison, Bentancur and Bissouma are not going to give that and put simply any combination isn't touching the best 4 or 5 teams in that area.

As a previous poster rightly pointed out, having good central defenders is neutralised when they are continually exposed.

If Postecoglou has sought wingers as opposed to central midfielders, he will get what he deserves.

We've signed Odobert and Werner - hardly going all out on wingers either!

Idiotic post. We all get behind the team. Not an issue. Having the right balancein our squad is the active debate.

Emotions will always criticise. That's normal.

Over 40,000 association football clubs in England and we’re lucky enough that ours is comfortably one of the best 8!

Count your blessings you weren’t born in Oldham or Grimsby or somewhere. 🙏

Oh....My....God.....!!!!!

The way some people belittle our great Football Club and our great History :ange-facepalm:

Imagine the fans of any other Big 6 club using the likes of Oldham and Grimsby to justify our failure or mediocrity.

just Wow!

Winks is shit.
Skipp is also shit.
Hoijberg was missused and under rated. I'm sure he'll do well elsewhere.
Are people really beating on Sarr and Bentancur? Bissouma had a funny season. Looked amazing early on but really off it later on. There's a quality player there though.

But this blind "get behind the team" bumf is fucking bollocks.
We pay mega amounts of money for season tickets, sky sports, BT sport, Amazon. We spend hours of our days off to go to games.
We don't want to HAVE to get behind dross like Winks, Skipp, Davies, Sanchez, Dier, GLC, Moura, etc etc etc. We've been worn down making an expensive effort for years to see crap like that and no, we wont fucking back it.

Genuinely can you tell me which teams in the PL have an out and out better quality set of midfielders than Spurs?
