I think tango and Reggie are placeholders unless they blow Ange away.

I would have never thought we’d see that MF 3. Now I’m almost expecting it.

Not sure why Reggy is being dismissed. Udogie is just a kid. Davies showed last year he can’t play LB.

Remember most of Reggy’s short comings were in the attacking half. Final balls, crosses, finishing.

He won’t be asked to be an attacking/overlapping player for Ange. Also his speed is useful to break up/prevent any opposition counter attacks.

I mean, it looks more to me like none of the FBs are first choice but it might depend on the opponent as to which side we want a more advanced FB for that game and which side we'd prefer to invert.

As for that MF 3, I fully agree. pretty big IF but if it did work, that kind of ability is scary.

If we change mentality there's no reason that midfield couldn't work against lesser teams, especially at home.

It is a joke that we have conceded possession to every team over the last few years no matter how good they are. That kind of setup prioritises off the ball work rather than ability on it.

If we get back to a system of dominating the ball, that midfield 3 would be hard to get near.

He didn’t play 90 mins once last year. He’s weak, erratic and a crock. Get him out, I want comfortable footballers not headless roadrunners

Gvardiol they are having the same problem as us with Tapsoba and VDV. They are struggling to sort the fee out.



Not just us it appears. What a surprise! :ange-arms2:

"Just because there hasn’t been much news in recent days it doesn’t mean it has slowed down"

Can you imagine...... :harrysmile:


Honestly, when you see these random folk tweeting P'OK or whoever trawling for updates; they're such impatient little children in need of constant tending & gratification! ......FFS, IF they had some news they'd post it........ It's the very point of them being on twitter, you idiots.

Club now just £8.5m away from signing ‘incredible’ Tottenham player

Napoli are reportedly pushing to sign Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso this summer, but they are £8.5 million off Spurs’ asking price.

Napoli are reportedly pushing to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso this summer, but they are £8.5 million off Spurs’ asking price.

That’s according to TuttoMercatoWeb, with the Italian outlet claiming that Spurs wants around £21.5 million to sell the Argentine this summer.

Lo Celso is facing an uncertain future at Tottenham after returning from a season-long loan spell at Villarreal.

The 27-year-old impressed in La Liga once again last season, netting twice and providing three assists in 22 appearances.

He was frozen out by Antonio Conte back in January last year and despite being named in Ange Postecoglou’s pre-season tour squad, he could be on the move this summer.

TMW reports that Napoli are continuing to ‘insist’ on signing Lo Celso from Spurs this summer.

The two clubs remain locked in negotiations, with Tottenham asking for around €25 million (£21.5 million) for the midfielder.

Yet, Napoli are currently falling short of Spurs’ valuation by around £8.5 million.

Lo Celso will get the opportunity to impress Postecoglou during pre-season and seems like a good fit for the Aussie’s system.

But the ‘incredible’ midfielder has struggled to find his feet at Spurs after joining from Real Betis back in 2019. He impressed under Jose Mourinho initially but was quickly forced out the door by Conte.

Of course, Spurs will face the task of trimming a bloated squad over the coming weeks after naming a 31-man squad for their pre-season tour of Asia.

Given Lo Celso’s performances in the Premier League so far, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him head out the door.
