To finish top 5, we just need a point more than the 6th placed team.
Don't over complicate it.

Looks well recovered on tonight's showing, if he got back to his best then well worth a look at.
Gs, come on!!Fuck I got Genk and Gent mixed up again
My points above stand regardless.

I didn't notice.
Grew up in Togo with his Togolese mother, nothing available on the internet that I can find about club or country youth participation at any notable level, then apparently was scouted at a tournament back in Nigeria and joined the setup of a Nigerian club that had some connections in Norway, got a trial in Norway and then sent home and only got picked up later on. Then as soon as he touches European soil he's an instant hat trick every level he touches.
This smells like one of those situations where "everyone knows" he's not the age he says he is, so he doesn't get the opportunities that a player of his ability at the listed age would get.
Not an uncommon situation in Latin American baseball.
But the thing is, what he's done since arriving in Belgium kind of erases the question of what his age development curve indicates about the player he may one day be, and confronts you with the reality of the player he is. He's completely destroying that level of competition, which indicates he ought to be in a higher one, even if he's really 23-24 or something.
(I spent like 15 minutes googling this, if anyone has better information please correct me, but he definitely appears to be a mystery man even by West African standards. Compare with someone like Victor Osimhen who won the Golden Boot at the U-17 World Cup before moving to Europe with Wolfsburg)

If we finish 5th this season, Postecoglou would be akin to a magician.

Can’t finish though.
If we ever need another LB, I really like Ait-Nouri from Wolves
The draft system works in the USA because there's only one league (and one country) in any of their major sports: NBA, NHL, MLS, MLB, NFL. It would not work in football
When we Sign Gift Orban the club best do the unveiling video as below -
Levy to the big man “hey Ange come here we got you something special” camera then pans round to a huge life size wrapped present , blue and white wrapping paper of course , Ange goes over to open it and out jumps Orban , camera then zoom in to Anges face where he says “what a gift , mate”
Seriously?
Porro has been here for six months. It's laughable that you call him a flop already.
Richarlison has been in the shadow of Kane for a year, often playing on the wing.
Kulu played very well in the beginning, though his performances have since dropped. However, I see this as the style of play not suiting his abilities. He doesn't have a lot of speed, which is needed in a counter attack system like Conte's.
I'll give them all at least till Christmas before I call any of them flops.
I think Veliz will be part of the squad all season, he looks ready to come on as a late sub and influence things.
You don't "win" a rape case without the victim wanting to press charges. It's a tiny percentage for only the worst /violent offenders that the cps will go to court as its so unlikely. There's countless cases of beaten wives / sexual assault victims protecting their abuser for love /he's not normally like that /I can fix him. This is one of them.
There really aren't that many quality wide left footed forwards who are "affordable". I hope Spurs are scouting Syrian-Swede, Roony Bardghji. He's still only 17 (turning 18 in November) so it's hard to predict how he'll develop.

And Saudi /US. In the 1950s chasing the ££ to Colombia, wasn't part of fifa so no transfer fees and big signing on fees. https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/ar...fraught-el-dorado-years-of-colombian-football
We dodged a bullet with Onana
I grew up obsessed with the NFL. I fall more and more out of love with the parity leagues and grow more and more interested sports that don't have the competitive stakes artificially sanded down as I get older.
One other thing I'd note, equalizing spending is one thing, but the PL makes much less effort at reducing the inequality of what clubs EARN than they could.
It would be trivially easy to say that shirt sponsorships and kit manufacturing deals must be registered with the league, 50% stays with the signing club, 40% of it is distributed evenly among the other 19 teams, and 10% goes down the pyramid.
You could do similar for ticket sales.
If the owners control the process, absolutely every restriction will center directly on the money the players get. That is neither the only or best way.
The premier league was invented to keep more money at the top. At one point (when it was the biggest revenue) ticket sales home and away were split 50-50
I expect us to score 85 goals. Concede 60.
