Spot on.
We have a team full of lazy fuckers and entrenched cliques. Them rocking up for pre season knowing they don't have to impress anyone will just set us up for failure.
At this point any manager will do. For such a "shrewd negotiator" Levy sure is bottling getting somebody signed.
Crawley is doable.
Last time I saw a Spurs XI play there in a pre-season friendly we lost 6-1.
Think I went to that. I’ve certainly seen us lose heavily there in a PSF. I do go to Crawley occasionally as it’s half way between where I am now and my parents. The bar at the ground (if open!) is decent. Hastings is a good non league ground too from what I’ve read. Just a bit too far for me.
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.
Great cause.but i'd get more excited if we had friendlies away to Wokingham or one of 2two of the Northern Irish side,or the southern irish as well.proper pre season friendlies.
Of course not.... Clearly remember the tournament at Wembley a few years back..... 3rd party organisers charged £60 vs Juve.
Shhhhhh t
Recall the organisers actually reduced the price after a while as well - even after that it was still a mug off.
A couple of nice games for Mason and his mates
Would love a trip to Orient. May have to pretend to be an Os fan though.
It might not be pretending in a couple of months.
This could be massive for Spurs with Son building up nicely for start of main season after almost 2 months rest after end of season. Kane will get 3 weeks after Euros's so wil only arrive back at Spurs a couple of eeeks before season starts, with less than half the time for a proper preseason.
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.

Great post.
Despite all the ignorant abuse he gets here (similar to what Trippier got) Dier is an excellent player and was 1st choice for England last WC.
WC next year and I reckon we will see a return to form for Eric.
