In a perfect world this happens whilst Tel begins to make in-roads as an ST.... Leaving Odo & Moore to fight it out for LW the season after.
Conte had already begun coaching that out of him (and Kulu) in his second season.
That’s just on hope surely. He’s not shown very much to suggest a break out season. He has a few nice moments in games that rarely lead anywhere and he also disappears a lot. He really doesn’t have any kind of fear factor either. He’s a decent rotation option but to be anything more than that he needs to do or show a lot more. Is he capable of that? Not convinced myself
True but hopefully Frank will do the same with him as he has done with other forwards.
Not even sure it was Ange. He'd fallen off a cliff even before Kane left IMO.
People are going on about the need to replace Son and moaning others don't score enough, but half the reason they don't score enough is Son running into dead ends and losing the ball.

Some really spiffy chandeliers in the hotel lobby…..and the cheese roomSo where is the mgw cash going to be spent ?
He’s left footed - but looks versatile to me, I would like to see us go back to wingers on their strong foot delivering crosses… especially with Johnson attacking the back post
Agree on Maddison but he should. Beats players, can go either way and delivers well. He can go missing centrally, I’ve always thought he looks better narrow wide
Yeah Tel needs to start pushing on now. In all honesty his ego was still at bayern a bit when he joined us. Had a couple decent games towards end of last season. Needs to knuckle down though now imo.
At this pace, the lobby might be the only floor built.
Wasn’t he top PL scorer that season? 23/24?
I agree he had started to lose his spark as a provider / winger and that definitely has dropped further over the last two years.
I Wonder if we will go in for Schade. Very effective on the left for Brentford and excellent in the air.
Yeah I'm getting on a bit. The beard is growing greyer by the day, I've got aches in parts of my body I didn't even know existed, my erections are like 60% of what they used to be...but hey, we ain't

Yes absolutelyThis is an excellent post, I enjoyed reading that!
Deuterz and
The Extra Mile(sey) ... anything to add?
I will be forever thankful that this club introduced me to legendary characters such as Fixxy and his ambishun stick , Shady "ok" Dan and everyone's favourite humble Frenchman Le Parisien the Piedmont terracia dweller
I am forever humbled
No, he was top scorer in 21/22.
The next season he got 10 and was looking spent. I remember people calling for his head and he was benched.
And then came off fhe bench to score a hat trick against Leicester and turn the game around. 3 of his 10 goals in 1 half of football.
We're the dude who orders the priciest things and escapes through the bathroom window just before check time.
Probably counterfeitIs the coupon in date?
Who cares when was the last time we brought in an elite player? We should be doing that. Just because Levy has lowered your standards so much, doesn't mean we all eat that shit.
How's that doing them down? It's true. They aren't good enough for an elite club right now. What other club who charges the price of tickets that Levy does, goes into a season with CL football, hoping that a kid who has barely made any impact at all in the PL so far, is good enough to be a starting LWF? You can delude yourself as much as you want, it's not good enough.
I am talking about Odobert, but it also applies to Tel. Who has shown practically fuck all so far in a Spurs shirt really. And Odobert looks potential and that is it. It's a huge gamble going into the season with those two as first choice, when they haven't shown they can score more than a goal in a PL season let alone make a sufficient impact.
I had the same conversation with people like you last summer no doubt. I bet you were one of those who was saying that Gray was going to be Roy Keane reincarnatted and walk staright into the team, hence we didn't need top CM brought in. And that Odobert was absolutely fine being our top LWF signing for that summer. How did that turn out?
You seriously think if we are lining up in the CL games this season, that Odobert or Tel are good enough to be a LWF? do you think that will strike fear into the opposition? No, we need to bring in someone who can deliver now, and let Tel and Odobert rotate and develop naturally over a few seasons.
Same shit every summer. We don't do nearly enough in the window, and then we get people on here patronising those of us with concerns. Fuck that, no other top elite club signs kids and then waits for them to develop and pretends to try and be competitive, all the while kidding the fans we want to win the CL and PL and charging highest prices in the country.
And I don't drink by the way.
Another day of fuck all happening
Great job that Lange, Levy and Vinai are on that tour negotiating to bring another executive on board

Spot on, we actually have Spurs fans making excuses about why we shouldn't be spending 75 million on certain proven ready now players, and instead let the kids develop. Standards on the floor, all the while coughing up for the most expensive seats in the country. Embarassing.
