One of the few young WF that excites me. But maybe we can't expect Spurs to compete with clubs like Brentford for such players
I would agree with that assessment, would also add Udogie to Davies is a horrifying step down. I think if we added 3-4 good players in those positions we could afford to make in the region of 7-9 changes for a cup game against Fulham and go through. You don't have to have 2 first XIs like City to be comfortable rotating, just not having absolute cloggers as backup will do. The real worrier in that Fulham game, for me, is seeing what could come to pass with 1 or more injuries in certain positions. If Romero (injury prone) or VDV get injured we are currently playing Sanchez or Dier. If Madds gets injured, GLC who was so shit he was hooked at half time for a guy we've just loaned to the championship, gets the nod. As I said, Udogie's little niggle vs Bournemouth was his ACL, boom, Davies for 9 months. It's frankly terrifying. Any of these guys could cost us untold amount of points, even if they're rotating into a full strength XI.
The only ones who're outright poor with the ball in our backups are Sanchez and Forster. Emerson, Davies, etc. are average. Our starters are excellent with the ball though (outside of our front three, strangely enough), so it's a step down.
I could not agree more with this post. Fcukong piss take if we stick.
Always content to be pragmatuc in a mad football world but to leave us firing blanks would be an absolute shocker.
Skipp, and on that evidence Solomon.
The Micky Van De Ven of Bournemouth?
We are Tottenham Hotspur, 8th richest club in the galaxy, blah blah blah blah....
Tell us something new, mate.
All those wise sages saying "Good bit of business" flogging Kane.
But if we don't see any benefit from the cash, what's the bloody point?
Not one person mentioned this chap until a few days ago.One of the few young WF that excites me. But maybe we can't expect Spurs to compete with clubs like Brentford for such players
Solomon is very good with the ball. Skipp, eh, average I'd say. He can keep the ball moving, he just doesn't really do anything special with it.
I've put this post on another thread and gotten quite dislikes from what I presume are "Levy Lovers".
"I've given up on Levy and ENIC. I don't buy in to the "Ange doesn't take crap" bullshit. He's eating up what Levy hands him by the bucket load."
Its so frustrating to know Conte, Jose, Poch, .... We can go as far back as Martin Jol and Jaunde Ramos, all Good Managers that where lead to the slaughter by Levy. Fans hopes are always trampled on in favour of the Almighty Pound.
Ramos, "‘It works well but you have to ask the question: what are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to win money or titles? The sporting side is the priority at Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea."
Ramos laughs. "Bent scored 12 or 13 during pre-season. That's the worst thing that could happen! So Levy says: 'This guy [Berbatov] out, this guy [Keane] out … '"
"Spurs aren't going to win the league. Economically, it works well but in sporting terms maybe it needs retuning. You can't demand something that doesn't fit the reality."
" I wanted Samuel Eto'o and David Villa. Eto'o wanted too much in wages. We negotiated with Villa, when he was one of the world's best. Levy's a hard, hard, hard negotiator and in the end it didn't happen. So we were left with Bent and Campbell...."
This article completely exposes the Real Levy and ENIC.
We all know what happened to Jose and Conté.
And Probably one of the worst backstabbing I've heard of Martin Jol sacking.

Levy is a leach. He thinks of nothing other than his pockets. People and their passions are nothing to him.
Ange is going to learn the hard way. Spurs is a burial ground for Good managers. If you want the shinny CV you have built to be turned to dust, accept a job at Spurs. The Fans will embrace you but Levy will annihilate you.

Harry Redknapp offered Tottenham job by Daniel Levy, two years before he took it
The story of Martin Jol’s sacking at Tottenham is remembered perhaps more widely than any memory of his popular three-year tenure, sadly. The Dutchman was sacked before a UEFA Cup match against Getafe and yet was marched out at White Hart Lane that night. Fans chanted his name and aimed protests...

Then that’s our confines.
I didn’t say I don’t want us to spend, only that my expectations of expenditure are realistic relative to our turnover.
Odd comment that clearly ignores the jist of my post and decides to infer something that wasn’t even there….
TBF there’s still some quality on the ball there. Imagine Kane up top tho, or even someone like Berba or KanouteVicario
Porro Romero VDV Udogie
Maddison Bissouma Gallagher
Johnson Richarlison Son
Run run run run run run run run run run run go go go go go go go go
Romero VDV
Schurrs Kelly
Ok I’ll take that and never see Dier or Sanchez again
