Braithwaite???? Noooooooooo thanks
Until such time that Ndombele pulls him thumb out or further squad surgery is done; I'd run wth:
Gio / Skipp / PEH
Bench: Dele / John
If nothing else, there's plenty of industry there and all three can play a bit of ball.....

Ffp is a myth at this stage
Let’s hope he gets a chance - we’ve nothing to lose. Give him 20 games, 90 mins and then decide. Absolutely no point playing any of the low bar wastemen ahead of him. He’s the only midfielder with the potential to play at the top table, if he shits the bed for a third season so be it.
He had two damn years already. No manager likes him. Nuno sent him to the dog house already and he’s been here for a month. The guy work ethic must be absolutely zero. We must sign midfielders.
It's always been a myth as clubs take no notice of uefa because nothing of any seriousness happens to stop the big clubs from buying.
Tell that to Barca right now.....
They cant even try hide it its that bad there
Ok. Let’s see if Holjberg continues where he left off last season, he was awesome
Cantona for sure was not an easy player/person to deal with, but his case was very different than Gazza's. Cantona was confrontative and had a strong personality but also mature and had the insight to understand the importance of discipline and thus he could be harnessed .... while Gazza was immature, childish, and indisciplined. Gazza rebelled just for the sake of rebelling while Cantona needed a cause.
Just look at their lives after their careers...
But, yes, what a player Gazza was!
Smart of Levy: he used Vlahovic, Martinez and Messi as decoys to sign ...Braithwaite! No-one saw that one coming! No ITK, no Fabiano, no other clubs, no-one saw that coming! Not even Nuno

I'm not super well versed in this stuff, but isn't the issue with Barca a regulation specific to Spain/La Liga? FFP is a UEFA regulation.
Well, if the doping hadn't happened, it would probably be a 4-team premier league today: Manure, Woolwich, Pool, and us. Woolwich, Pool, and us being clubs that grew organically. Chelsea and City might also be thereabouts, but probably in Everton territory.
I don’t like the options behind Skipp/PEH if they get injured/tired so would like to bring in someone to rotate with them but that does look like the best option we have now.
I have a rational hatred for Russell Bland.
I'm all for this. Find out once and for all. He's not had a good Spurs career but let's be serious, he started under a broken Poch. Was struggling in England, got the Mourinho treatment of being thrown under a bus, showed to signs of improvement then the whole team went to shit. He has so much ability with a ball at his feet I feel like we need to see if a nice guy like Nuno can get a song out of him.
He hasn't really had 2 years. He was excluded for at least half that for various reasons. The world hasn't been normal since he signed.
I also don't see so many people clambering for GLC to be moved on who has hardly set the Premier league alight since joining at the same time.
Im a big Ndombele fan, think he has heaps of talent and was worth the transfer fee (atleast at the time).
I do think it’s time we moved him on if possible though as it’s been 2 years now and multiple managers appear to have come to the same conclusion.
What’s frustrating is he could be a world beater if he could sort his fitness/hunger to succeed out..
