Key word being....squad not team.

Last season then......

Romero, Bentancur, Kulu...... 3 starters that helped elevate us from 7th (the year before) to 4th.

Paratici:

Season 1: improved the starting XI
Season 2: improved the squad.

I was actually backing you up because you mentioned the squad had improved whereas the team was referred to as not having improved. I actually think both have improved but maybe the squad more so.

This illustrates what can happen in football. All 3 for whatever reason have made less of a contribution this season. The exact opposite of what I expected, I thought all 3 would go from strength to strength.

I think previously the other fella was in turn arguing team/not squad...... lol

Whatever way you slice it though; I think the team and squad quality has been improved during his tenure.

21/22 speaks for itself really and there's quite a few seeds that still have yet to blossom.
 
As a reminder, I believe this was our last starting XI under Alan Sugar:

Walker,
Perry, King, Doherty, Judas
Freund, Clemence, Sicknote, Leonhardsen
Rebrov, Booth

West Ham played a midfield of Carrick, Lampard and Joe Cole.

But ENIC have totally destroyed the club! Give your head a fucking wobble.
Yeah because Spurs is defined by the Sugar wilderness years....We never had any success or good teams before ENIC did we?

fucking bellend
 
Take your shit-tinted glasses off, fella.

Team improvements:
Romero, Kulu, Bentancur, Porro

Squad improvements:
Bissouma & Sarr > Winks & Sissoko
Porro, Emerson, Spence > Aurier & Doherty
Forster > Giollini

+ Udogie, Gil

I actually agree with you but would immediately counter with the fact that Paratici has had more leeway with spending than any DoF before him. I mean some of our previous guys were operating with 10/15m net spends or negative net spends. Our wage bill has risen significantly alongside said transfer spending, too.

We can definitely say he improved on the GLC/Ndomble/Sess window which was our first foray in to genuine big spending, but it's not a huge brag. I honestly don't think any of his business has been under the radar or particularly impressive. We've not exactly picked up a bunch of bargains under him, other than Bentancur.
 
Was Ange a Paratici pick? I thought he wanted Enrique, which is probably why we were still linked with him at the end.

I figured the reason why we started to get linked with the likes of Ange and Slot was because someone else was consulting Levy.
