And in so many more !!Beyond that we have a technical director, we have scouts. We should understand Franks system and style and understand our own players. Brighton have a system of a player or manager leaves they have lists of replacements ready to go. Modern clubs are far more than the manager. I don’t mind a little bit of time but this should be done very quickly.
If we leave all the transfers to the last minutes then we hurt our season as we will have far less time to integrate them. Also it’s pretty obvious we need a RW and DM, we should be able to bring them in before sales, those two positions are where we clearly lack.
FYPDo 4-0 wins in the league at the Etihad and Villa Park count?
I guess my only real point is that I feel like some of our fans don't enjoythings like trips to Tamworth or Bodo, which I think is a real shame, that kind of stuff makes supporting a club like Spurs fun and uniquesupporting Spurs.
I think Frank is the type that wants to see them in training before assessing them. I don't think he is the YouTube highlights assessing type.
This nonsense about Frank wanting to assess the squad is just the latest in a very long line of excuses people use to justify our inactivity in the transfer market.Exactly. It would 100% come up at interview. If we are asking the right questions, which I suspect we are during the recruitment process then we’d ask the candidate his plans for the squad and individual players. It’s impossible not to. All this waiting for them to be back for training is nonsense. Decisions will already have been made. Frank has been watching us for years so will know lots about the squad.
A "Frank Pick" lolI think Kudus might be a Frank pick. Ticks all the boxes for a player he would back himself to get he best out of and he would undoubtedly have talked to Danish club, FC Nordsjælland, about his character. If this gets over the line, I wouldn't be surprised if this ends us signing of the season across the league.
And he needs to pay his mortgage every month by getting clicks from gullible fans.Very good payday for a journo reporting on Spurs, pretty sure Matt Law has bought a house with the proceeds from our fans tears every time he tweets something.
Fuck me, we spent over $500 mil for Ange’s 2 season and what’ve we got to show for it player personnel wise? It’s an indictment on the clubs recruiting and transfer/payment policy.
How many that made up that 500 mil would get into pool or city teams? Maybe Maddison VDV and …..Bergvall eventually
I'll ask you this - as I think anyone should ask themselves when pontificating on this.Ill ask you this - as i think anyone should ask themselves when pontificaing on this.
Did you rate Ange as a manager?
If not, then you shouldn't be judging the players based on what he got out of them.

Who employed Ange as a manager?
If you trust the club transfer/payment policy then you should judge the appointment policy and the revolving door of managers.
This is the Summer Transfer Thread, it's here we're meant to discuss transfer matters and nothing else BUT fuck all is happening, apart from one or two tenuous links and people are a bit pissed off and/or concerned especially considering some of the moves others are making.
Don't want to read our comments, fuck off to another thread or create your own Summer Non-Transfer Thread, where you will be free to discuss everything whatever you want including sucking off Levy and co.
We finished 17th last season and whilst our squad isn't completely shit, it could certainly do with sone quality additions.
It's as I said a few weeks back, we're waiting for the serious players to get their business done and see who's left.
He's been a manager in same league for past 4 seasons he knows the players inside out especially with Brentfords impressive data collection & database.
The last thing we need is a Dibling, another young player who might develop into a top talent or become 2025s John Bostock.I've got mixed emotions. When you watch him you can see he's a powerful player and he can play different positions. But will he be one of those players who looks great on a highlight reel but doesn't generate production? I think he could go either way. Then again, I'm not as sold on Eze as others are. Maybe the most interesting player out there now is Dibling, but the asking price is now far beyond what Spurs could swing.
