A critical thinker? Analytical?

Thank you sir

:ange-hmm:
 
Wouldn’t be surprised if we are holding on for the Kane money to go for our preferred CBs.
I think that’s exactly what we are doing, and not necessarily because we need the money to buy.

It’s for PR purposes. Levy knows exactly how much shit he’ll get from fans for selling Kane, online we may have accepted it but the casual side of the Spurs fanbase will be up in arms (and rightly so), it’ll be a shameful day for Spurs.

He can mitigate that by purchasing CBs sharpish after Kane’s sale, get some positive news going, despite the fact that they should’ve obviously been bought in June.

It’s clever and cruel.

He'd pretty much have to make some big signings to lift morale, there's some logic to this.
 
Do per 90. He played a ridiculous amount of league minutes the last few seasons so naturally he will be very high when you use gross stats.

Football reference uses per 90 and doesn’t have ball recoveries but it has him in the 24th percentile for tackles and 80th for interceptions for midfielders so that puts him as pretty average as far as recoveries ago.

True. Having said that, the best ability is availability.

Think you have it backwards.

It would've been better to get the CBs in before the world knows we have a huge sum of money coming from Bayern. Now the selling clubs will be holding out for even more money.

Only PL club that hasn't signed a player yet? Spammers. They're being told ridiculous prices wherever they look.
 
The only thing I would interject (good woody word) here, is that I'm not sure Tapsoba is the guy you want if "winning aerial duels" is your priority.
I don't know much about Tapsoba, but he seemed to be pretty good at mopping up those dangerous long balls when playing in a high line.

Whoever we buy, ideally it's a "physical specimen" type who is good at recovery runs and aerial duels. Will need both with the likes of Romero, Udogie and Porro in the side.

Ill just take it happening
 
No idea where to put this, but Ali G’s just spent the first 5 minutes of his latest podcast ranting, because the club are upset that he described them in an article as a ‘soap opera’ 😂

The day Levy sells Kane it should be quickly followed by his resignation. Levy now needs to leave the Club for the good of the fan base he is too toxic to stay.

Think he’d need a forward as well. We have needed 2 CB’s for 1-2 years now, it’s a bare minimum for me.
