Not really true. One of the challenges of being Tottenham is that we play in a league where 13 teams set up against us like we're Manchester City and 6 set up against us like we're Norwich City.

Another one that can jog-on.
Out of order raging at young Bergvall when he'd just come, to shit on his confidence, when he was making nonsense errors himself.
Ciao ciao!
Lost market value?
We were bidding more last season than City bought him for im sure
It was an inter-City Football Group transfer.
I'm just going based on Transfermarkt, which is bollocks, but apples-to-apples general public perception bollocks.
No. Hot and cold.
Good only when he can arsed, which is not good enough.
I'd be well happy if we get in:
Senesi (far from sure about that, since Iraola went to dippers)
Hecke (also doubtful)
Scott/Wharton/Hackney/Anderson (in order of likelihood: 80, 60, 40, 1)
Savio (probably?)
CF/ST
LW/RW
And move on:

You know what, I don't really hate anyone on our team, now I've had time to cool off. I'll leave it to RDZ. But fine with anyone leaving, tbh. I know most of our weaknesses, but with the above 'ins' I think we will look very different. e.g. Porro/Spence/Tel will shine if we can camp in their half.
Either we are Juve’s feeder club or they are ours.Another one that can jog-on.

To an extent yes.
But even the 13 you mentioned that will be more wary defensively they will still commit more going forwards and have periods where they are on top and semi- camped in our half and thats the difference. City dont experience that very much at all.
Even recieing the ball in his own half and a lacking support he can carry, go both ways and draw other players out of positions. There are many examples in there v the top teams and he is totally un-phased.
Theres ALOT to.wotk with there. His natural talent level is extremely high imo and almost comparable to those uber wingers we all dream off. I think the goals will come under RDZ as he becomes a key player with consistent minutes.
I’ve championed him for months
I take the point, I essentially just think anytime you're saying "this is a player who will shine with space to play into" you are talking about someone who isn't going to thrive in the Premier League.
Pep 90% possession tiki-taka takes it to the level of parody, but this is a league from top to bottom where you are not given time and space and must be tactically proficient and one-two touch technically classy.
Bergvall does not seem to have been as menacing as he was in his first few games. I wonder if the injury plus vic's abuse has set him back? I thought he was mint at first, really hope he can get back some of that swagger.Another one that can jog-on.

He will have a chance but we still have to sign the best keeper we can and the new guy and Kinsky battle it out for the no 1 spot.
Can see a few saying going for an experienced back (Darlow and the likes). Would be a big mistake imo. What happens if Kinsky gets injured or starts the season poorly? We need real competition and depth enough of this back up shit
If it’s true and Levy has sold his stake to that guy who wanted to buy the club last year and promised to pump a huge sum into transfers, wonder if he would still pump a huge sum in. A gift to introduce himself would be nice…..Osimhen would be ok.
Yes, but they want £10m less than they did last year. You can buy things for under market value.
Wharton and gibbs white
Wharton is left footer abd gibbs white right footed palhinha cdm i would take as a compromise to this
Toby is back in the papers with what type of players that we should sign.
He's not wrong. While we do need to improve the base quality of the squad by signing better players. We also need to target players that still want to improve and getter better to boot.

I mostly agree. I really rate Rashford as a player - he’s really good when arsed with several very productive seasons - but I wouldn’t describe him or Leao as ever being one of the best attacking players around. They were in that tier below of good attacking players with flaws.
Sadly neither wants to press. You can get away with this, Villa had Rashford on loan and adored him, but it’s tactic dependent. A Villa or Spurs will put up with it more than a Barcelona will, unless it’s a god tier talent.
Leao was playing at a good level and I would now categorise him as having fallen to a very average level. And he still doesn’t want to change that by working hard. Which is pretty concerning.
