Since you might know someone of the staff, any truth in Eze being at the training ground Wednesday?

I haven't heard that, my information is now severely less than last summer almost nothing in fact, still speak with the family every week and I get the odd story but it's after the event. We do talk at length about the finances (in case you hadn't worked it out I was a CFO for years so it interests me) but not so much anything else anymore. If we make anymore signings I will no doubt hear how it went down, as I did this week on Bergwjin, but only after it's done ... I will be asking all about Danny and what really happened ... but Eze hasn't come up at all ...

I did get a cryptic message about Bale this morning ... dying to know what that was all about,

What if I told you, in this reality Morpheus never said "What if I told you"?

Because, he never (but I remember it clearly) and the dozen 'haha's responses you got, also remember it...

If you think a focal point / striker is just someone you hoof it to and flicks it on then your version of football is quite tactically limited.

defensive issues are compounded when the ball goes up and it does not stick and comes straight back again, corners and set pieces harder to defend without a presence. Your midfield gets turned quick and your shape gets pulled when you have no one leading a line.

what is a “second rate” striker ? Anyone who’s not Kane or Messi ? Tottenham are one of the very few major club in Europe without a striker at the moment. That remains ridiculous. And having a Jansen is no bad thing at all.

Yeah, the ability to run in behind and stretch defences is also an important commodity. Giroud will never be able to do that.

You would honestly rather start Giroud up top than Son? If so we see football differently.

Let me make it clear, I’m not against bringing in a striker at all, I just do just agree that it’s the be all and end all to our success this season, we have far greater tactical issues to address (see earlier post). I also do not think they’re automatically a better forward than Son because “they’re tall” and don’t want to spend obscene amounts on one when it’s clear we’re operating a little last minute on this with no defined long term target.

Rondon on loan or Giroud for free would do, I don’t think I’d be starting them though.
