Ah I see the Gestapo are in force, monitoring this thread and every single comment to see if it should be allowed or not.

Levy is a tight unambitious fuck and he's full of shit.

Challenge for the CL/PL my arse!

We'll try to sign whoever is left when the window starts to shut. It's what we do.

I didn't raise the question to police the thread. I raised it to see if the seemingly random twitter thread was of any note.

It was not. Just random guys having the same convo that we see on here.

Not saying people can't post them. But in a thread where everyone seems on edge it seems a bit futile to add outside rantings too.

Unless one is just trying to stay angry...

That's top 10 material. At best... Especially with Son on a sharp downward curve.

We deserve and should expect so much better.

Spurs fans really do need to raise their standards.

A worse forward lineup got us 5th season before last and won us a Europa league last season. We scored 6 less goals than Man City last season, don't think the attacking side was our downfall. Probably worth seeing what our new manager can do with them before shitting the bed.

Why would it rile anyone up?

It was the exact opposite of that, it was an expression of shared apathy towards the inevitability of the way this club acts.

If it riled you up then again that’s probably one for you to wonder why but don’t overestimate how much anyone thinks about you. I promise I didn’t think about you once when I posted it.

Nah, you're playing into the people's love for negativity and negative spin wherever it is possible to inject it and never, ever balance it out with anything that might counter that.

Or…. people just don’t feel positive about the club’s ambitions in the transfer market and they are expressing themselves.

Crazy I know but maybe it isn’t all some outlandish attempt to “spin” something but just how they feel based on reality

100% davies was unnecessary! He is just blocking the development of one of the youngsters. Dorrington was captain of our u21 that won the league. He will be discarded even without any first team experience. He played well at Aberdeen in the SPL and won a cup. Philips did well at stoke. What is the point of sending players out on loan to get experience and minutes then discard all that when they come back. We really do have a fucked policy with regards our youth and the purchase of younger players.

Yeah agreed. I'm not expecting them to be taking minutes off Romero or VDV but keeping Davies is just strange as its only blocking their path. Similar issue last season with Werner taking vital minutes off Moore. You don't want to be relying on these guys to play regularly but you do want a clear passage for them into the first team.

He may be a top defender but don’t think his world class. How many mistakes did he make last season. And I’m not saying it was just the tactics. His marking or clearances were shocking at times.

He had a very poor start to the league campaign but for me he showed his class in the KO rounds of the Europa League. He won POTT! He showed why Argentina rate him as one of their best defenders of all time.

He is definitely world class. The only world class player we have. Problem is availability and often motivation. Maybe he is just too good for us and we have to let him go!
 
Thomas Frank does not just buy players on a whim he uses time on rating them using exstensive dataanalysis then he looks at their technical & tactical abilities and finally mental strenght and personality he does not just shoot and buy players from the hip. Having a bachelor in sports psychology its important to him that players have the head screwed on right. How many players did he buy for Brentford that turned out to be a turd ? I am pretty sure he will get some players in if he sees them fit. Windows been open 10 days i mean come on have some faith in him if you expect big signings this time next week chances are you will be disapointed.

Both Odobert and Johnson are right-footed and Frank prefer to play with inverted WF. But Frank may well, of course, for now play Johnson as RWF.
Spurs, again, have the following LFW: Son, Yang, Moore, Johnson, Solomon, Odobert, Tel, Richarlison. So presume that Spurs will spend big on another LFW when they are over-crowded makes less sense then.
Even if Son, Richarlison and Odobert are sold, Spurs still have plenty of LFW.

I think the idea is we are selling Son and replacing him with this new signing which I'm now convinced will be Eze. The club want a versatile forward so Eze fits the bill. He will predominantly be playing between LFW and CAM but imagine he could also be used on RFW too. He's a great signing.

Mbeumo would have been a better signing if we were selling Richarlison as Mbeumo could cover RFW and the 9. But the vibe I'm getting now is that the club might sell son and keep Richarlison. Therefore Eze makes most sense.

He’s not buying anyone at Spurs. That’s not how it works at this club and for once I credit them for that.

Often a creative force on one side is best complemented by a player who focuses on getting into goal-scoring positions.

Brennan excels at getting into goal-scoring positions and if we can get the right player for the left, Brennan will become a 25-30 goal a season man. All we have to do is let Brennan do what he's good at and get someone else on the other side to do all the man-beating and chance creation.

Exactly. A front 3 of Eze Solanke Johnson would compliment eachother very well with Maddison in behind. It is also flexible where Eze can move to the 10 to accommodate Tel or Kulusevski can come in as the RWF or the 10.

Eze is a fantastic signing and would make us so unpredictable. We could line up with Eze and Kulusevski in the same team and the opposition would have no idea what our formation is. Frank is adaptable so will keep changing it mid game. Eze could start on the left and end up centrally. Kulusevski could start in midfield and end up on the right. For me Eze is a gamechanger!

Verging on spam at this point..... Just the same post over and over and over again.
 
I don't have an X.com or Twitter account because it's an absolute cesspit of shit opinions.

Known for the owner inventing stuff to rile people up, hiding behind a mask of "community notes" - finding an echo chamber on there is about as congratulatory as breathing.

There is no opinions on there of any value. If that's where people reach to for their reinforcement, well..
