Chelsea on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge then Woolwich next Sunday at home.
Trophy for the winner, right?
As I said in the other pre-season thread I'd much prefer we went back to the old ways of doing pre-season where we went to the likes of Bishops Stortford, Stevenage, Leyton Orient, etc. In pre-season I'd rather see us play non-premier league teams that we usually play and I think it's great for these lower league teams to play a bigger team like us for gate receipts and profile.
Here's a thought: try making your point without getting personal. Try it, I dare you
Crawley is a bit closer for me but Hastings is only around an hour drive compared to a 2.5 hour trip to WHL.
"Friendlies" they say.
I doubt if they will be a friendly price.
Of course not.... Clearly remember the tournament at Wembley a few years back..... 3rd party organisers charged £60 vs Juve.
Recall the organisers actually reduced the price after a while as well - even after that it was still a mug off.
Assuming no transfers in or out this is the squad that Nuno Espirito Santos will probably start pre-season with on Monday.
Given that a number of first team players are or have been involved in Euros or Copa America and are entitled to 3 weeks holidays after the end of those comprtitions and will arrive back at Spurs at varying dates from 3rd week of July onwards, I have included in blue the Spurs u23's likely to make up the pre-season squad - Skipp of course is injured :
GK : Hart, Whiteman, Kurlowicz
CB's : Dier, Tanganga (may be injured), Eyoma (RB/CB), Okedina, (Omole Lyons-Foster, or Paskotsi)
FB's : Aurier, Doherty, Reguilon, Sessegnon, Cirkin, Lavinier (RB/LB)
CM's : Ndombele, Winks, White, Bowden, Devine, John
AM's : Bergwijn, Moura, Lamela, Dele, Clarke, Thorpe, (Markanday and/or Bennett)
Striker : Son, (2 from Parrett, Etete, Scarlett)
Plenty of players for Nuno to evaluate, and maybe 3 or 4 decisions to make on some of the first teamers staying, as well as whether some of u23's should stay as part of the first team this season, whilst the majority of those u23's in blue are likely to go on a loan to aid their development.

It seems that way doesnt it? Does make some of their other decisions a bit strange.
Maybe that was the justification of extending June's deadline.
Open in june,proceed with caution.
Wait a month, fuck it...Lets get on it!!!
