He shouldn’t have signed the contract
I agree. And to me, our problems the past few seasons are mainly due to our overestimating the importance of keeping hold of our star players and inability to sell at the right time. What if we had sold Rose, Alli and Eriksen when they were in their prime? We'd have 200 million pounds more to spend on replacements and on improving our squad. At the same time, we'd show the greatest talents in the world of football that Spurs is a club where they can develop into superstars and be allowed to move on to the clubs at the very top if they perform well enough.
We achieved too much success and got blinded by the dream of silverware. We are not big enough to act like RM, Man Utd or BM yet. We need to be more like Dortmund and Atletico Madrid.
This is not realistic. There are are very few clubs that don't sometimes have to sell their best players. Utd had to sell Ronaldo at his peak. Liverpool sold Suarez and Coutinho etc.
Our model should be something like Athletico Madrid, who've shown its possible to compete for the top prizes and take profits on star players. If we'd planned for his sale we could have recruited accordingly. Guys like Patson Daka were available. Now if he goes we'll be trying to find replacements with the clock ticking. We should have identified a succession plan months ago.
CE decided to protect himself and just go through the motions. If kane does the same it’s not worth having him on the field.
Apparently Zouma doesn't want to move in the opposite direction, nor do Sevilla agree on his valuation. And Sevilla don't want any of the other Chelsea players offered. Chelsea think Sevilla value Kounde too highly, 70m or so. I'm sure it'll get done but I don't think it's a done deal yet.
Not seeing that anywhere?
If we do get Romero I wouldn't pair him with Kounde, Romero is just about 6ft1 & Kounde is 5ft10, in a back 3 maybe, but not as a pair in a back 4
Im the ITK
Soon done deal, Here we go
I've heard his form can be a bit up and down.
Have you got a source Arcy?
Some may say that it is apples and oranges, but Aurier has gotten all kinds of abuse during his time here and has reportedly wanted out for 2 summers. Still clocks in to work every day and plays to the best of his abilities. He even played a game 2-3 days after his brother was murdered.
You’re Levy aren’t you?
This Kounde talk is just SpursCommunity nonsense, but I disagree with your point. Mobility and ball-playing ability provide you more positive over the course of a season than struggling with the odd long ball against Chris Wood or Calvert Llewin. Romero in the top 1% for European CB's in areal duels last year and Kounde in the top 13%. Tomiyasu (if he's our RB) was top 1% for fullbacks and top 15% for CB's. Romero is marginally taller than Kounde's CB partner Diego Carlos, with whom he won the Europa League, and much stronger in defensive areal duels.
