Here is another instance of Tel taking a shot with his left foot. I suppose that as a youngster he was encouraged to shoot with both of his feet because he was told that was a good thing. Notice how he hit this ball in this instance. In the same sort of a very powerful way absent giving the ball any obvious spin to indicate he was seeking to place it in a particular corner or side of the net. Very similar to the above shot he made for the French U21 side.

It would have actually been much, much better if he had made this shot than the one above. Or at least put this shot ON TARGET.



Overall, he doesn't at all seem ready to play in the Premier League. And it is very, very curious indeed that he arrived to the Premier League *ON LOAN* from Bundesliga which is a much, much weaker league. In my opinion and from what I have seen and noticed that was a pretty terrible acquisition by Tottenham and a sign, I guess, of the sort of transfer work Tottenham has been doing over the last many/several years.

This last transfer window I see as an exception for Tottenham. The players brought in during this Summer were in my opinion all good and even more than solid acquisitions. Frankly, I was rather surprised to see Tottenham have such a strong transfer window this past Summer.

Link to the above instance is here:

** Players are generally and nearly always sent ON LOAN to weaker sides and to weaker leagues so that they would get playing time. There can be exceptions when very big clubs with many expensive players send particular out-of-favour but still potentially very solid and good players to other clubs so that they could spend a season playing football as opposed to fighting it out for a relatively small amount of minutes at their own club. Like with Kolo Muani who is a PSG player on loan to Tottenham because Tottenham has qualified for the Champions league. So that Tottenham can this season enjoy an opportunity of having an experienced striker in the squad who will look to get himself called up by the French national side for the upcoming World Cup. Good and solid and proven strikers (absent injuries or age/commitment issues) are usually extremely hard to obtain during any transfer window.

Can someone switch this cunt off?
 
Most of Thomas Frank's squad will be back in training with him by Wednesday evening.

Not called up for internationals
Kinsky
Austin
Kolo Muani
Udogie
Takai

Returned after Sunday's games
Simons
Van de Ven
Porro

Others Returning
Romero - Suspended for Argentina so returned early
Dragusin - returning for injury

Returning after Monday's games
Tel
Odobert
Gray
Kudus
Vicario
Bergvall

Returning after Tuesday's games
Palhina
Danso
Spence
Davies
Johnson
Sarr

So 22 players back in training by end of Tuesday ( 90% of the squad) , possibly Solanke too

Good few days for Simons and Kolo Muani to get to know their new playing and coaching colleagues.

Injured assumed to be Kulusevski, Maddison and possibly Bissouma (not called up for Mali)
 
Is it over?

Anyone else remember the dread you’d get waiting for the Ange press conference after the break so he could tell us how everyone had “pulled up”???

Somehow they’d all finish the games fine and arrive with a mystery knock
