I’d like us to move to a 4-3-3 by next season, I think we should facilitate that transition by being a fast creative CM.

He’s had 3 starts in all competitions.
If you average his mins it’s not much .
He was a sub, and not an impact sub. A tactical sub.

No I think he's made it clear where his heart lies. The club are moving forward, first the training ground, then stadium, then manager, now in the squad. I believe Levy will up his wages to what is possible and he will be incentivised by performance bonuses... From the outside looking in he is living his dream. Why feck that up? For Tapas? Nah... He is halfway to becoming a legend. God forbid he had a bad injury or blip, what club are most likely to stick by him?
As we sing "he's one of ours"
FA Cup, top 4 and getting through the next round of the CL would be a pretty decent season that would set us up for moving into our new home...
Scum linked with Pavon, that's a player we will regret not getting.
They won’t try to sign anyone of note until they lose one of or both Ozil and Sanchez. Easily one of the worst run clubs in England and long may it continue
I very much doubt tbey are paying him anything like that amount.
We don't have the personnel for a 4-3-3. Son is the only winger we have.
No one else has speed or trickery. Lamela can probably play on the RW but it's not ideal.
With Alderweireld, Rose and Wanyama fit then our best formation is 3-4-2-1. It accommodates our best players. We need a creative centre mid to play alongside Wanyama. Winks is great, but injuries are getting to him. Denis Suarez or Gomes would be great. Tielemans would have been ideal but Monaco won’t have another summer like this one.
Sorry but gotta disagree...pretty much a nothing player IMO
Don Giovanni
What is your problem now?I am sure Pochettino will agree.
He was brilliant at City in a 4-4-2 under Pellegrini.
I thought he would have struck up a good partnership with Vardy. The group of players who won the title at Leicester are a very close bunch by all accounts. When Ranieri tried to freshen things up by bringing in some faces, they kicked up a fuss and stopped playing for him. Gray has only recently become a regular after threatening to leave a few months ago.
Literally every signing they have made over the past 18 months (bar Ndidi), has struggled for game time. There is definitely some player power at the KC Stadium.
At 21, he still has time to do well elsewhere. He suits teams who play direct, which is why I was surprised he didn’t excel at Leicester.
I honestly think if we lost Kane to Madrid then that would be me done with my love for football. I have never ever felt something close to genuine love for another player than I do for Kane. If I were a 6 year old all over again then my bedroom would be a Kane shrine and I would want to be him in every way - wonky mouth and all.
If he ever left I wouldn't be done with football but I would be disheartened/completely at a loss for a long time. It would rock my faith in my club to a degree which I have never experienced before. Whenever we have had genuine world class/top quality players before they have always been signed from elsewhere beforehand or not been fans of the club.
He has publicly stated that he could/would end his career here and I have no reason to doubt him. He loves the club and I think in all the time I have supported Spurs ( since the early 80's) I can't think of anyone that equals his ability coupled with his genuine love of the club and desire to want to win things here.
I genuinely think we are only at risk of losing him if we don't match his ambition.
Am I imagining it, or are the transfer rumours relating to us pretty noisy for a January window?
There are always some, even when Poch has said 'nothing will happen', but this has more of a summer window feel to it. Potentially exciting?
Also, on Iheanacho - was gutted when Leicester got him. If they're willing to offload for less than they bought him (and his form is poor enough for Man City to not bat an eyelid if we make a move) it could really be a coup.

I can understand how you both feel. I'd hate to see him wearing the shirt of any other PL club. I could possibly stomach him playing for Real but only because they're the biggest club in the world and he wouldn't be guaranteed to play against us every season.
It would still hurt of course!
There's one half of it sorted. Lamela is definitely going to be in the squad.

Sorry but I don't see it at all...would be disappointed if he joined tbh
