Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Skipp can only be classed as reliable when he's spent more time fit than injured as a Spurs player.
It sounds like he's guilty of training too hard. Has less to prove imo and needs to look after his fitness. All he needs is more games at full health. I am worried about his long term fitness already and do pray he is able to get back to full health. Stupid Dier horror tackle in practice :/ What a shitshow for Skipp...
 


Disagree by all means.

But I hope Conte knows more than you or we are in trouble !

He knows more than you or I mate don't leave yourself out.
But he needs to sort the tactical mess and underperforming players out or he will be down the road like his predecessors and you don't need to be a football expert like yourself to know that.
 
The quote from Conte you have conveniently side stepped absolutely trashes your comments on the transfer window.

No surprise is it.
Ah sidestepping comments you mean when I twice mentioned Chelsea to you, but on both occasions chose to ignore it and tried to intimidate with shit about comprehension.
You tried unsuccessfully a number of times today mate to put me away and failed each and every time.
I think you need to leave it now because quoting myself about comments when you failed yourself is also not surprising joker.
 
Conte on rotation and use of squad depth :

Antonio hinted in his pre-match press conference that squad rotation is likely to start coming into play following the international break, when we play 13 matches in all competitions between 1 October and 12 November, with a number of players then scheduled to depart for the World Cup, which kicks-off in Qatar on 20 November.

“When we start again, to play so many games, we have to be ready, because I will need all of my players,” added Antonio. “If we want to continue in these four competitions, especially the Champions League... the games are always massive and, for this reason, I need to have all the players available, all my players have to be available for rotation and, in every moment, ready for when I call them to play and to play well for the team, for the Club, for the fans, for everyone.”

Hope so. Its one thing to need to rotate players for fitness reasons, but its another to not be willing to make subs when players are hurt, tired, on yellows, or just plain underperforming.
 

Paul Pogba wanted to join Tottenham but Antonio Conte said no​


Tottenham could've signed £93m player for free but Conte said no - journalist

:levywtf:


Massimo Brambati has made a shock claim that Tottenham Hotspur turned down an opportunity to sign Paul Pogba for free last summer.

The French World Cup winner, who cost Manchester United £93 million (Guardian) in 2016, ran his contract down and decided to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer at the end of last season.

Pogba returned to Juventus, but if Brambati is to be believed, he actually wanted to join Spurs.

Don't know anything about his "attitude", but he seems to be a role model for many young French players.


Paul Pogba is understood to have been only one of two players to respond back to a Manchester United staff member's friendly gesture during the recent round of internationals

Only Paul Pogba and one other Manchester United player responded to a staff member's nice gesture during the recent round of internationals, reflecting on the club's attitude.

While Pogba may have a difficult relationship with fans, his attitude shows there is another man many are unfamiliar with. When he was substituted off injured after nine minutes against Liverpool at Anfield last month, the reaction of fans was striking.

While last week, fans doubted he was actually injured, despite a scan proving he was injured with a calf strain, some accused him of strategically dropping out of the team so he couldn't be booed by fans. Ralf Rangnick said it is unlikely he'll play for United again this season, but the Frenchman, who is out of contract at the end of the current campaign is reportedly doing all he can to return for the remaining games.

Why did you post a random quote that makes no mention of "young French players" and in fact says very little at all?????

Responding to iz futbal iz futbal 's claim of Pogba's "shit attitude".

Thought Pogba being a role model was well-established.


"Paul Pogba served as a model to young stars like Kylian Mbappe in France's youthful World Cup-winning squad, Les Bleus' coach Didier Deschamps has told kicker.

Pogba came in for major criticism prior to the tournament with France said to be lacking the dressing room leaders required to fulfill their potential."
 
Levy is going to play HK into the ground before his contract runs out. He will be 30/32 before he gets out of Levy's clutches and he will be the best player to never win a trophy. Levy is the most disgusting parasite ever to be associated with the beautiful game....

Tottenham are not willing to sell England striker Harry Kane in the summer even if the 29-year-old, whose contract with Spurs runs out in summer 2024, does not sign a new deal. (Sky Sports)
I doubt that's true, probably posturing to get him to sign a contract, or get a better fee if he doesn't.

Yeh, I can read thanks.... Just that the quote you posted said nothing on the topic of "young french players".

.....Posting a different article after the fact, but yeh.



He's still a circus-attracting, fair-weather jazzy waste-man at club level.

Players like that are no use to us.

Really didn't think that was a controversial take. That Pogba would be a role model to French kids/players.

Fairly obvious actually.
