You won’t have to imagine it.Imagine Dier and Davies starting in 2023.
They will have been on the tour. Any new signings will need to adjust and learn the system from a few steps behind

I do think Woolwich definitely bottled the league last season BUT it's also true to say they are really backing their manager this summer and going for signings that improve their first team and squad.
Rice, Havertz and Timber are good signings and I suspect they'll bring in more, once they've managed to shift out a few of course.
We've made a decent start to our window but need at least one CB and the Harry Kane situation is yet to be resolved. We also need to move out quite a few players, so far nobody is biting but is that due to our owners wanting too much or they're just shit?
Probably a bit of both.

Depends what you'd consider Ben Davies.
A new centre back means we'd have 7 centre backs for two positions. That's clutter.
Spurs are bad they don’t spend enough , Gooners are good they spending hundreds of millions , Man City are bad they spent to
Much?
And I thought the Goldilocks story was fucking confusing!
I think the key point here is that (you'd hope) the new guys wouldn't be those you'd define as "clutter".
So get 'em in ASAP......
I'm not saying we should, but if it came to it we could release Dier, Tanganga & Rodon on deadline day and it wouldn't exactly be an insurmountable financial disaster.
re Davies: As someone that is likely our best back up in 2 diff. positions; no I don't consider him clutter either.

This seems to be quite a strong indicator on where the club stands with Eric Dier:
It's still money out, FFS.
No Ledley King?I agree with you that you can hang your hat on Harry and I don’t blame him for us not winning anything. I was just saying Hoddle scored in semis and a final.
Hoddle was my god because he played the game the way a midfielder should. Scored incredible goals with either foot,could open a tin of beans with left never mind a defence. His goal against Oxford in his last game was just funnily brilliant.
Harry is still in my top 5 of all time though.
Where in that 5 I don’t know. Hoddle,Gazza,Modric,Kane and Bale. Now there’s a front 5
No Dembele?
Everton won’t take over us. Dyche will have them comfortably bottom half just above relegation
Imagine Dier and Davies starting in 2023.
I was asking the same question in 2022
Yes but we're looking at Joachim Andersen which means we're in for a relegation battle apparently.
The transfer money, that led to the sacking of Poch & Hitchen, was wasted so it then became necessary for Jose to sell to buy.Flawed argument. You say they were sold to “balance the books” yet they were sold past their prime at reduced fees. Those purchased cost a bloody fortune so there was no balancing of the books. The issue is those expensive buys did not bear fruits, The money was still spent. IF you had maligned Levy/ENIC for choosing poorly your argument would have some merit. But as you haven’t said that it comes across as another anti ENIC rant which frankly puts me to sleep
Of course the Levyites do not interpret things this way.
Why would they?
They are here to defend the subsequent sale of Harry Kane for the same reasons.
Paratici has done a decent job for Spurs.
I've stated this point of view many times. Especially when Levy was getting slated for hiring Paratici.
However; Levy's errors, since the constructive dismissal of Paul Mitchell, are haunting the club to this day and will continue to do so while Spurs slide down the table and compete with the likes of Villa for the 'best of the rest' trophy we left behind under Poch; due to Mitchell's recruitment.
He’s a LB that Conte adapted to a LCB on more permanent basis than ever before, because he played with 3 CBs and the club didn’t provide him with good enough CBs.

Good post.
Sadly Woolwich have improved in my opinion.. Rice is Keane-like but without the lunacy. Whether good or bad who knows but a quality player without doubt, and good character.
Havertz needs warmth I think and to br part of something settled. Woolwich are more likeky to provide that than the club our ex-manager just joined. Hope I'm wrong but there looks a player in there to me..

I don’t think so this season either.
If Levy stays involved, the trajectory is headed that way.
There is no debate that he has the football club on a downward trajectory and it looks like all his old habits are back again this summer.
He provided the funds for the purchase of these players, that others had identified for him, and underpaid most of them while they played for the club and achieved successive Champions League qualifications.
I understand the ENiC / Levy model.
The whole Everton take is wyld-as-fuck considering the fool-hardy hysterics that ensued here when Moshiri arrived and started playing the big man....... Man completely wrecked an EPL stalwart and they still can't get rid of him.
Everton have flirted with relegation for two seasons now. They're broke and have horrible recruitment. You're just saying utter nonsense.
