The five subs ting makes a freak like Adama more appealing, could be a great impact sub. I can’t see him playing 90 mins vs a side like City at WB but he could definitely change the tone of a game on 60 if it’s flat and nothings happening vs bus parkers
PL have HG rules that every club will struggle not to meet.
I think Spurs will want to go as deep as possible in CL (as well as PL) going forward which means we need to meet UEFA squad rules as well as PL rules, and under UEFA rules we are thin on HG players, especially if we assume Winks is off (possibility of Tanganga on loan to get more experience as not played much in last 3 seasons in Spurs first team).
Club trained : Kane, Winks, Tanganga, Austin, Skipp (5 including Winks, minimum 4 required)
Trained at other clubs affiliated to The FA : Sessegnon
So currently 6 HG players (including Winks), minimum 8 players to get maximum 25 man squad
Excluded from above are players such as Clarke, Omole, Lavinier, and potential incoming such as Forster and any others.
So ideally maybe Forster and 2 other HG players to come in

Son was only scoring 12 goals a season for us most of his career here. Everton are a proper shit team.

Bentancur, PEH just doesn't do it for me. I can't take another season of PEH screwing up golden chances in the box. He should have won us that Liverpool game, like many other such games.
We need Bissouma/SMS or any other CM who is comfortable on the ball, and is a goal threat. If nothing comes up, I'd take McKennie over him.
To quote Tyson Fury, he's a big dosser and a complete shithouse.
Inter need to sell as they need funds - and Bastori is one of their most saleable players. So all tactics (other than those illegal) might be in play
I don't really disagree, but in my post I mentioned bringing in Eriksen, and we'd also have Skipp. If we do nothing else, I think that would set us up quite well.
Yes Bentancur and PEH are more functional than I'd like, but in big matches, they're very useful and we can get creativity from the WBs and forwards.
I did say in my post though another CM would really take us to another level.
Let's remember though that we only conceded 5 goals in our last 11 matches. PEH and Bentancur are a huge part of that.
Hojbjerg isn't my most favourite player but still got 3 goals and 4 assists last season which is not bad for a player 'with no creativity'. Also missed very few games since signing.
Happy to keep players with that sort of track record next season
Bissouma is a goal threat.........who knew.
A comparison between Adama and Wilder is quite apt actually; both have power but unrefined.
Absolutely correct
However I suspect (for example) that whilst a player with 1 year left on his contract might be sold for 25m (rather than 50m if he had 2 years left on contract) his sign on fee/extra wages might put the players 'total cost to buy' up to say 35m, its still a decent discount to 50m.
Same argument for 'free' players out of contract
Mckennie and SMS would never work in a 2
Pierre isn’t elegant, but he’s quick to the ball, makes smart decisions and passes forward.
It’s shit like that that wins games, not ndombele style stepovers.
Saying that, I’d take Tielemans as a more controlling/ progressive option.
It's weird because that's exactly the sort of side I CAN see him starting against (though not doing 90 of course - he'll hardly ever do 90, and that's fine for a player of his type). For me, he'd be useless against lower half sides or those where we have lots of possession - but in games against sides that will dominate possession and make it difficult for us to 'get out', his ability to smash past people and get us up the field would be invaluable.

From what I've seen McKennie does almost everything PEH does but adds those late runs into the box and actually finishes chances. He might be less athletic, but under Conte he can develop that side of his game too.
SMS would be alongside someone like Skipp who can let him do what he wants as more of an AM. He's got Eriksen G+A stats but has more physical presence, and can dribble better too.
Whatever people might think of PEH, he actually has a great final pass in him
Interestingly they are both Brazilians who play in a similar position. Who gets in ahead of who at international level?
No idea mate.....
Traore just swings his fists.
EDIT: DOH
