I'd be interested to see us play 3-5-2 formation. With the size of the our pitch I think this formation would work well and clearly Nuno is good at coaching it.

Neves and Pedro Neto would be nice signings.
 
I don't want Nuno at all but its happened now.
I'm not going to be like most fans who have randomly got excited for nothing.
He's a pragmatic Mourinho esque coach. Mourinho told us all we wanted to hear at the start and yet he stuck to his negative boring football.

I'll start liking Nuno if we actually play well but I doubt that and honestly if we start crap or play boring football in the first 6 games I wont be backing him

For now I back him. I give him a chance. But he 100% needs to be backed in the window. No shit mendes clients and get rid of the deadwood

For me assuming he goes with a 3-4-3 or maybe a 3-5-2 with Dele at CAM

We need the following :

- New CB X2
- New RWB
- Backup ST
- Creative midfielder or Right winger (depending on what formation we play)

3-4-3 can be very attacking if you play it right. Poch showed us that. I don't think 4-2-3-1 suits Nuno nor the squad. 4-2-3-1 suits Dele but he is shit and he's been here too long.

I hope to have a good summer window and be optimistic for the start of the new season right now I'm not. This managerial appointment is incredibly underwhelming but by the end of the window I could be..
 
On the positive side, this season I'll start with zero hope - so there is nothing to lose.

You are actually very optimistic if you genuinely believe Levy cannot make you feel worse
 
Funny thing is, all these cucks telling us we should support him. They'll be the first people to direct their venom at him, rather than ENIC, as soon as results turn to shit.

Neves I don't think we need (personally) and Neto has a serious injury would be a bit of a risk.

In all seriousness we need a few homegrown players now.

Great post. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

My only addition would be that Kessie at CDM would be great if Nuno is going to play 3-5-2.
 
I’ve been very negative about Nuno, but am fully backing him now.

One way to ensure a more attacking style of play with 3 at the back is buying a genuinely attacking RWB.
Doherty may have been good enough at Wolves, but he’s not technically good enough, or fast enough, to be starting for us.
Doherty wasn't good enough for Wolves, why do you think they sold him!

Levy talks about going back to our DNA and attacking football and bringing on the new kids. This proves he knows nothing about football. Nuno doesn't play attacking football and doesn't use youngsters. Levy is a total disgrace. Not supporting this ramshackle of a club until he goes and takes ENIC with him. Over 50 years a supporter but not anymore.

Funnier still, If Nuno goes on to do really well you'll congratulate him and say all of his success is completely in spite of who hired him...

Swings and roundabouts eh.
 
The most soul destroying thing about all of this is that even if Nuno turns out to be a brilliant manager and coaches out of his skin and scrapes top 4, he’ll ultimately won’t be given first choice players to buy in the market and eventually the wheels will fall off once Levy has milked every last drop of performance without spending money to improve the squad, and if things go well the fans will just say “Nuno isn’t getting the best out of the squad” instead of spending money to keep the squad fresh and competitive, Nuno gets sacked and the spurs levy propaganda cycle continues
