Saw him completely boss Atleti and Gallagher but he’s been in and out of the team since.
Smacks of the the deal being too heavily weighted for us so they’ve stopped giving him time to develop and increase in value.

Pretty average links tbf to be expected in our position now
It’s got nothing to do with where we are in the league. It’s all about the budget and the level of wages.
I hear Muani is a no go because dome head wont sanction 160k per week.
Exploring the possibility of exploring the option of considering...
Just fuck off!
If true (and this rumour has been floating around for a few days now) I do not get this at all. Regardless of whether I rate him (of which I don't know as I've not paid him loads of attention and he hasn't blown me away when I have seen him) Why would he come here to be on our bench rather than stay on Brighton's or go somewhere else and get more football?
Chelsea is probably the closest recent example. Not plucky underdogs, one of the riches football clubs on the planet. At the midpoint of last season Chelsea were 7W-4D-8L for 25 points, 11th place with a +2 GD. Compare Spurs this season 7W-3D-9L for 24 points, 11th place and +13GD. And Chelsea had built a much bigger squad so were less vulnerable to injury crises and dud recruits. But it was still a painful rebuild for them. They're doing much better this season and have good momentum and age profile going into 2025/26. If Poch had stayed on I'd imagine they'd be doing just as well.
I think Spurs will build momentum in the second half of this season and be much stronger next season.

The "new" model maybe, but ironically, ENIC were a pioneer of multi club ownership/investment weren't they. Had major stakes in Rangers, Slavia Prague, AEK Athens, Vicenza, Basel.
I don't even know that Tottenham is an ideal stepping stone club for anyone anymore- unless jailbroken with a giant fee, most players just seems to sort of collect here due to their large wages (too larged to return to lower leagues), and slowly stagnate until walking on a free or cut-price transfer.

I think that’s symptomatic of having owners that historically haven’t prioritised a winning culture
I think you have misunderstood. The convo/context was about UEFA's u-turn to allow clubs owned by the same owner to play in the same UEFA comp.
It was actually a ruling against ENIC prior to buying us that put the "no two teams with the same owners can play in the same UEFA comp" rule in place when AEK Athens and Slavia Pargue qualified for the same comp in the 1999/2000 season (link below to the ruling).
The above should have closed the door on the issue, but Red Bull managed to open it again.
When did Slavia Prague fans start looking down on our team? Holy moly.
If we have 6 CB’s in the squad with none being CT, that means out of a squad of 21 ex. CT (17 Johnny Foreigner + 4 HG non-CT) we will have
2 GK + 2 CT
6 CB
Leaving 13 squad spaces to cover 8 positions (2x FB, 3xMid, 3xAtt). That is one unbalanced squad!
Edit: apologies

I’m just catching up on the thread and see this has been done to death in subsequent posts. No need to respond

Thing is mate are they wrong? I can’t argue with it at all
He looked a good player but was needlessly overhyped after about 3 games. It didn’t help him at all.
I haven't seen much of him either but from reading about him from those (Spurs fans) who have seen him a lot, he doesn't look like a player Spurs need. He seem to be a bit erratic performance wise and Betis play a double DM system (Cardoso & Sergi Altimira) while Angelos plays with 1 DM.
Betis is set to loan DM Stefan Bajcetic from Liverpool - as there are rumours that Betis may sell Sergi Altimira (one many former La Masia products) to an EPL club.
