Imagine it.....Everton wanted Hojelaboggle and end up getting a much better player because we got him instead

Fucking Levy's a joke for not missing out on the preferred player
GET OUT OF OUR CLUB
Not going to happen mate
Yes, but apparently we can write off Hojbjerg after one game while at the same time making excuses for a fat waste of wages who's been here for a year, because there's nothing wrong with that logic on the forum from some corners.
...and the reason Hojbjerg got booked for emptying Richarlison was because Ndombele gave the ball away cheaply again. Solid hit too, enjoyed that one.
True, but to play devil's advocate: you'd fancy your ability to break into the starting XI based on this afternoon.Well if anyone was thinking of signing next week they've definitely had serious reason for a rethink if they watched the Everton game. Hardly a positive advert for the club was it ?
Absolutely, 100 times the player Winks, Sissoko or Iceberg are
We have bought cheap average buys which are making us a cheap average club.Imagine it.....Everton wanted Hojelaboggle and end up getting a much better player because we got him instead
Levy and co have turned this club over into a laughing stock, with the facilities in place we are all fur coat and no knickers absolute joke of a club.
I'm going to clutch at straws and hope that our apparent failed bid for Zaniolo actually suggests someone at the club realises the need for someone new in the midfield.
Agreed - said earlier in this thread that I'd loved to sign Allan. Supreme defensive midfielder who'd have transformed us completely.
But with him being 29 - it probably was never a go'er.
Sissoko is limited but provides a lot to us. He's not my favorite player but he gets picked for the world cup winners for a reason.
Hjobjerg would have done a lot better surrounded by Gomes-James-Doucoure-Richarlison.
Lies.
Ndombele is a £60 million pound player who was wanted by all of Europe's best teams. That alone makes his performances elite level.
His transfer is dragging this club down as much as us not moving on all the shit that is inhabiting the squad.
It’s been said before but we definitely need a director of football and a proper scouting network. That cunt Hitchin isnt the man, we’ve all seen that on the documentary and he’s proved everyone right who said we need a change in the club. Until that happens and we identify some proper players, nothing will, change.
Problem is that it's the wrong type of midfielder.
Here is the problem with the argument that "he gets picked for France."
That is great if he is awesome for France or fits in with what they are doing but when he constantly has shit performances for us, and I think they are undeniably shit, when does him being picked for France stop being relevant and what he actually does for us matter?
I hear it a lot from journalists who are talking about how poor he was but then say but he is picked for France so its not just fans. I just think that he has do more than get picked for France to justify his spot in our line-up whether on the bench or starting because based solely on his play for us he should never see the pitch for a Spurs team again, he can go be a full time France player if he is so good for them.
any defensive midfielder would but we seem to be allergic to buying one for some bizarre reason nobody on here or any other spurs chat can fathom
But can't with than Son, Ali, Lo Celso. Sissoko hey?
Considering that Sissko and Alli are poor passers of the ball it will be tougher than with the guys I listed.
I have also never said that PEH can't have success here.
I think if we surround him with players that are able to do the progressing for him and that he can outlet to he will look better.
The debate becomes if it is worth it for a team of our supposed level to have to play players that are that limited and don't offset it with being great in other areas.
And Doucoure. Richardilson are? Andre Gomes is also painfully average.
We don't have a system of play, it doesn't matter who the player is if you don't have that it is going to be a struggle.
