Filmed early Nov.... "I've got 5/6 months to go"
March/April earliest.
Also in terms of conditioning: "There's no substitute for proper match time".
With Kane for the England u21 no less and they had a real connection. The OG Kane Son and no one will as you say believe a word...
He might get 10-20 mins here and there towards the end of the season but can’t see much this season sadly. If he can and obviously that is a big question mark get fit sustainably then with him and Simons we have serious creativity levels.
Pochettino is probably still our manager if we started stockpiling the Maddison’s and all the best young prospects in 2017-18.
Lange has done the right thing over the past year, the issue is we don’t have the quality first team that makes it easier for them to integrate into.
Yeh it’s a funny situation.
We have perhaps the best young prospect CB in the world in Vuskovic. We also have in Gray, Bergvall, Tel, Odobert, Kinsky for their age some great prospects but we have a lack of elite senior quality.
The likes of Odobert and Tel are great as apprentice LW’s but we also need the senior one and thus are playing Kolo Mauni out wide to cover. Our focus should be on 2-4 elite senior signings now, rest of the squad is ok but we need some elite experienced players in a few key positions.
The club will never admit it but when we had the stadium move period it wasn’t just the funds, in general we totally took our eye off the ball when it came to the squad and have paid for it by having to build back up. Thankfully can’t see us moving home anytime soon.
Those saying we need to replace Maddison, I think Simons is meant to be that guy.
only player at the club who knows what to do with the ball when a side are just sitting in, watching that lot today try and play when a team are just sitting in was laughable, serious lack of football intelligence at this club. when youve got kudus one side and spence the other side, you can forget about any intelligence coming from the wings. the new dumb and dumber.

Looks like he could be back for early April, all things going well
I wish him the best. Hated him at Leicester getting to see more of him he's a kind: emotionally centered, decent young man. Whether he's ever knocking on the full international door again who knows but hope he can come back and contribute at some level.
Early signs are promising. The way he ran Dortmund had a lot of "madders at his best" about it.
Question is - can they play in the same team?
The post is not asking for money for the surgery but it kind of is a hail mary at getting it; which is absolutely right any parent should do anything. The club/players should fund the surgery.
She didn't put the link for the go fund me in the post but it is here...

As two 8’s possibly, with a v.good 6 in between them. But might be a stretch on tough games. For those you swap out one of them for someone like Gallagher.
Ahhhhh bless him. Poor little chap.
I don’t have Twitter. Are they taking donations anywhere for his surgery? If they do maybe we could help raise a few shillings on here?
Doh!! Just seen the link. Did you edit your post or do I need to book an appointment at specsavers?!

Thanks for sharing this. I will make a donation
Right idea, right players? Not so sure. Bergvall is really the only one who looks like as close to a sure thing as you can get. Tel, Odo, Gray (more hopeful of, but still), Takai, Drag.... Not so much. That's a lot of money spent.
