Think they add up to more than what we got for HarrySolanke and Tel did the Kane money.
It's just unbelievable
I still miss Harry

Come on apart from kudus are forwards have very little creativity
Up to Frank. We already know Levy is a fan!Conor Gallagher as a 10, tell me it's not true.
Does he solve our 10 issue? Don't think so. Is he a big upgrade on Sarr/Bergval? Not sure. Maybe.
Except they haven't moved one iota.
(Again; remind yourself of my OG post........ I haven't moved a damn thing.)
If you weren't so entrenched in your tact of projecting opinions onto me; the "adult" you might be open to the idea that I'm not especially defensive of Levy/ENIC per say. I can be found describing him as "yesterdays man" (and wouldn't bat an eyelid if they sold up*) and as much as I think his recent comments about league titles are being mis-appropriated; they are unwise regardless ....... I do however think there's a lot of shit chatted about how we are run.
(*Subject to inevitable concerns about whom the next owner might be.)
You may choose to view the last 15 years (or even longer) as a Spurs fan as having been some kind of miserable existence; but to not share that view doesn't make someone a 1-dimensional apologist.
I have my own criticisms of Levy etc..... They just don't start and end with "tight bald cunt".
No more exhausting than your approach to me has deserved.
Anyone seen the links to Marc Casado? Palhinha understudy maybe? Not seen enough of him to have a strong opinion, anyone?
Apparently because Pochettino played him as a 10 for Chelsea, that's the plan, it's Maddison's position that we need to fill. not Sarr's or Bergvall's. The other point is he's locally trained, so like Maddison, he can take his spot in the CL rules too.
Again, ducked the question.
Where did you pull this quote out of? tight bald cunt".
I've been asking him that very question for nigh on 10 years and he still hasn't answered
Yeah I'm getting nowhere. Never seen anyone as good as dancing around a question. It's quite the talent. He really should be in politics.
No I didn't. At this point it's YOU that's exhausting.
........You're not interested in my opinion; you just want me to admit to doing something that I don't believe is true.
Yeh; not happening.
It's common parlance round here when some talk about Levy.
........I thought you had this place all sussed?
Yes. Casado looks like a tenacious, aggressive, destroyer. Much more mobile than say the more traditional Barca DM such as Busquets, from this compilation.
Wiki states Casado can also play RB and CB. But at 5'8" he's not playing CB for us.
To me, it suggests Frank wants to build a physical, hard to break down, team, who can win the ball in midfield and counter-attack at pace.
I still think we need a creative AM, especially against the bus parkers.
EDIT: I linked a compilation video which you can watch on YouTube, but which was blocked by La Liga here. A quick search identifies several clips of Casado.
Okay, but I didn't say it.
Anyway, your clearly not going to answer. Just don't bother replying to anything of mine because you clearly don't have the capacity to engage in a discussion.
Surely if the criteria is "debuting a Premier league season that wasn't playing in either Serie A, La Liga or the Championship the season before, has scored more than 10" than it's just 2 since Perriera, Pukki and Watkins were all playing in the Championship the season before?
Edit: Dele was 10 years ago and came from League One.
Edit2: From the same season ad Dele there is also Wijnaldum, Firminho and Martial.
More recently there is also Lacazette.

I didn't say you did.
I answered.... Shame you haven't got it in you to meet me in the 'middle' at this point; or even agree to disagree.
I'll reply when I see fit thanks.
Is it this one?:

I just can't see where the goals come from. Maybe a trip to Specsavers !!

I've got a strong opinion. Said earlier that he was the closest to Vitinha I could think of. There's definitely a concern over his slight frame. Could be an issue in England but then pair him up in a pivot with Palhinha. At €30m it's a no brainer for me, and personally I'd take the risk
Also bring in Fermin Lopez. I'd rather the pair than Rodrygo. Would be nice with some midfielders who could pass the ball and move a little. He doesn't strike the ball quite as well as Eriksen did, but I could see him as instrumental. Lopez works well in confined space and could be crucial against low block teams
Good post. I think this could be the way forward for us. We already have a decent squad and added two very good signings in Kudus and Palhinha. And if we get two good signings more, that fit into the way Frank wants to play, i think it can be a good season.
We dont want to do business as Man Utd does it. Year after year they buy alot of overpriced players, and every year most of them flop.
My only real concern is Maddisons injury. We must sign a quality creative player.

It’s like watching Odobert all over again.
Is there a CL level technician there? Absolutely. Lovely touch, some nicely weighted passes, clearly sees everything, ball sticks to him.
Is there a PL level athlete there? Absolutely not, certainly not yet at least.
I really wish we would stop being linked with Rodrygo and Leao, never in a million years happening
To be fair, Odobert is a more dynamic athlete than BEK. Agree he looks a decent player in the vid though- am less underwhelmed by this potential signing having seen it- and it’s nice to see he can operate on the left if required. Looks more like a natural CAM to me though.
