Management Have We Appointed Arne Slot Yet?
- Thread starter Lumiere
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Just a simple £300m splash out lolCounterpoint: We don't actually need a huge purge this summer.
Out/contracts expiring/No loan-to-purchase deal: Lucas, Kulusevski, Lenglet, Danjuma
Sell/Release/Loan-out: Lloris, Dier, Højbjerg, Winks, Forster (or Austin, or Whiteman, Sanchez, Tanganga
Returning/Loans-out ending: Ndombele, Lo Celso, Bryan Gil, Udogie, Spence, Rodon, Reguilón.
We should definitely have a good look at Bryan Gil, Udogie, and Spence this preseason, and I maintain that a good manager/coach can get a tune out of Ndombele as a rotational option.
Rodon should be easy to off-load as should Reguilón and Lo Celso.
OUTS/LOAN OUTS:
Lloris, Dier, Højbjerg, Winks, Sanchez, Rodon, Perisic, Tanganga, Austin/Whiteman, Reguilón, Lo Celso
IMO, our priority list should be:
1. new starting GK (£60-£70M)
2. new LCB. (left-footed) (one CB a blue-chip option £60-£70M, the other could be a punt/speculative)
3. new CB (one CB a blue-chip option £60-£70M, the other could be a punt/speculative)
3. new CM (£50-£75M)
4. new FW/winger (with pace!!!)
GKs: x, x, Austin
CBs: Romero, x, x, Royal, Davies, x
LB/LWB: Udogie, Sessegnon, Davies, Perisic
RB/RWB: Royal, Porro, Spence
CM: x, Bissouma, Ndombele, Bentancur, Skipp, Sarr
LW/RW: Son, Richarlison, Bryan Gil, Porro, Udogie, Perisic
FW: Kane, Richarlison, Son
Kane, Son, Romero, Richarlison, Porro, Bissouma, Bentancur, Perisic, Royal, Bryan Gil, Udogie, Ndombele, Davies, Sessegnon, Skipp, Sarr, Austin, Spence
Edit: Could probably be convinced to keep Kulusevski depending on mood/data.
Won't happen.
I finally got it!
Slot though the heart and he's to blame
He made Spurs fun again!
Except you have to say again all hoity toity like the English - a-gain
No? No? Ok I'll keep trying.
ok, but keep Kulu. He should go back to his early success if Benta and Biss are in the midfield.Counterpoint: We don't actually need a huge purge this summer.

5 players in: 3 blue chip players (£60-£75M each) , 2 cheaper punts.
Same sort of football.
There's formational questions, are wingbacks your widest front line players? 2 CBs or 3? A single number 9 focal point or not?
There's also philosophical questions, how important is maintaining possession? How direct do you want to be in attack?
And that gets down into nitty-gritty tactical stuff that inevitably becomes a bit opponent-specific.
But in the overarching sense Slot, De Zerbi, Postecoglu and Kompany are all kind of a Pep-derivative coaching family.
Then there's a Klopp or perhaps more accurately Rangnick-derivative coaching family, with Bielsa/Poch ball being pretty closely related. A lot of 3-4-3 being played by that group.
The latter is a better fit for the Spurs squad. More work is needed to get us playing the former.
He looks suspiciously like Levy and Munn.
Obviously when viewed from directly above.
It'll be five cheaper punts and flirting with the expensive options.
I suspect that the Porro and Kulu fees mean we will have very little cash to spend at all. Beyond what we make by selling.
I've seen this movie.
Get ready for another one...
His name was Arne, he was a trainer
No yellow feathers in his hair cause there ain't that much up there
He played free-flowing and pleasing football
And while he tried to be a star
Danny always tended bar
Across from White Hart Lane, they worked with Harry Kane
They were young and they had each other
It was quite insane
At the Slota, Slotacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Slota, Slotacabana
Football and fashion were always the passion
At the Slota, the fell in love
Football hipstering
Oh God not another attempted Slot joke.....
Blah haha hah
Another mind falls to my control!!!
There’s only 1 player in our squad that should have any kind of ego after this seasons performance
