Neither thanks, don't want any pikey or Mancs rejects.
You don't go to Turkey in your prime year's if there's not something fundamentally wrong. Got Saudi written all over it.
Yeah the Cochrane interview puts a different spin on it for sure.
Plus let’s remember Man Utd isn’t the place to be a footballer any more. They’ve a worse culture than us. He had to play second fiddle to Rashford and usually looked more effective than him when on the pitch. He could well thrive away from there.
Frank likes players crossing the ball lots though, so I think we may target that kind of player more. Or big physical units. He’s neither of those.
Absolutely carried us for 2 months last season, was near the levels of Son and Kane when they were the front 3, he needs more quality around him but I think he's one of the most talented players in our squad and he's still only 25.
Liverpool winning last season was a surprise but they won the PL, despite a zero spend.
It is fair to say that now they are backing the manager and looking to the future. That can't be disputed.
Levy does need to back his aspiration with something consistent with unwise words, but we can't spend 115 million pounds on one player. Knowing us if we bought any such player they would get injured in their first match and be out for the season.
Garnacho would ge good in my opinion. Not convinced by Kudus at all.
With players you wouldn't play?
Definitely not the pikey.
Both have attitude issues and inconsistent. Get Mitouma, absolutely silky touch and balance. We need x3 footballers that can really play and control a ball. Eze is another, then a deep lying 6.
Transformation
The CL squad can be revised after Xmas I think? So if you do leave a few out it might be based on injury etc and focus them on once a week PL games if returning from long term injury
He’s hardly a reject, he just doesn’t suit the way Amorim wants to play. It’s like us, take Son for example… he was totally unsuited to Ange’s way of playing. Does that mean he’s now a reject? How about Kane for England under Southgate? many fans were saying Kane was useless but it was Southgate’s bore fest approach that made very good to outstanding players look very average. Back to Spurs, our defence was like a sieve last season so does that mean Porro, Romero, VDVen and Udogie are crap?
I mean for the non homegrown restrictions? It’s my understanding that by having an extra club trainer player we can register extra non club trained for the Champions League? Without them we have to name a smaller squad
Gray hasn't shown anything to say he's got great upside, neither has Tel. My thoughts on Udogie and Odobert are well known. Sarr hasn't improved much (if at all) either. Donley was on loan at a League One outfit last season, Vusko was in Belgium. Mikey chewed more gums than he had minutes. Kinsky and Drags? Lol.
Obviously time is on their side and yeah some/all could become world beaters, but let's not pretend they're Yamals or Mbappes at their age just cause they're our kids.
More like 5 or 6 but okay.
Romero is only on the A-list cause he's Spurs (them bloody rose tinted glasses) and cause Qatar gifted the Argies the WC in '22.
None of the others are elite, that's why they're with Tottenham and not PSG, Real, City, Pool...
There’s also the fact that Liverpool’s squad was far superior than most teams, especially those outside of the top 3. The best teams only require tinkering, they don’t need huge investment and wholesale changes like the clubs that are miles behind the top 3 to 6.
It’s more than just the style. Amorim apparently humiliated him infront of the rest of the team. You don’t do that unless it’s personal. He is a talented player, but not one we should pursue.
I get you, but I don't think Galatasaray execs or fans give two shits about that. The man came in, scored a zillion goals, won them the league title. Basically...Veni, Vidi, Vici (only in Turkish).
Play him upfront for us and see the difference with Solanke/Richy/Sonny/Brennan.
And that's why we're shite.
I like the kid, but he'd be nowhere near City or Liverpool's best XI...but at Spurs he's a big dog.
Yes get. Alls into the box, that’s what Ange liked. Johnson can’t do that and we need better than Solanke in the middle to get on the end of those crosses. I don’t think Mbeumo is all that great a crosser either.
