I tho k biss still has quality as an 8. Him with palhinha behind him may work. We do have options like bent Sarr and berg as well.

May be but which player is? Also he has had two years of Ange where he was basically our only creative player so all the pressure was on him. Then he had FBs playing in his position. To me when he came on v goons he adds that little bit extra control and keeping the ball with little passes and one twos. No other player offfers what he does.
I think the intention would be for him to rotate. Also o don’t think we need him for some games where we will have most of the ball but b likes of pool and citeh he’d be useful.
Yes Stel was trying to make this point on the spurs 5 but the others were shutting him down. I think the point was under levy we arnt going to buy a PL winning team. Frank was bought in partly bcos the need to develop players not give him ready made players like a conte would have wanted.
Yes beat up our own players yet cuti has a good game in the EL everyone goes crazy. So what if it was in the EL. I’m not saying he needs to be starter but give him some minutes. Anyways what has Tel done in the PL for all the minutes he got.
This the thing Frank said he knew about spurs traditions, wanted to play front foot attacking football. But really he is going to be more conte ball. Will fans accept that?
I’d just go get eze or Simmons
Plus he can’t fashion a goal out of nothing. He is not and has never been a great goal scorer. How many times last he was through on goal and fucked it up.
We are fucked
just to clarify; When I call him a great footballer - I’m not referring to his level of performance, simply his attributes. On paper he’s composed, technical, and makes high IQ decisions.
For top sides (which everyone wants us to be) I’m always wary of midfielders whose best attribute is simply “tackling”, these types don’t last long. (see Ugarte)
Fans get too caught up in the mythology of these shin kickers, even lionised players like Graham Roberts, Roy Keane, Edgar Davids etc. find their actual ability on the ball (all excellent) becoming criminally underrated because of it.

AIK's Kevin Filling had a dream debut in the Allsvenskan when the 16-year-old scored in his debut against IFK Göteborg.
Since then, the striker has been sidelined with an injury that has kept him out of action.
Now Expressen reports that both Manchester United and Tottenham are interested in Filling and have made concrete inquiries about the player.
It is worth adding to the information that after Brexit (Great Britain's withdrawal from the EU), English clubs cannot sign foreign players before they are 18 years old.
But according to the newspaper, Manchester United wanted to sign the 16-year-old and then loan him to Lausanne in Switzerland. Tottenham have also proposed a deal where Filling is bought and then loaned back to AIK.
PL clubs reportedly want to snap up Filling before he makes more of an impact and the price increases.

Big clubs scout Kevin Filling in AIK
Kevin Filling, 16, made his Allsvenskan debut just under a month ago and got a dream start in the AIK shirt by scoring in the home match against IFK Göteborg.
Shortly afterwards, the club chose to sign a three-year A-team contract with the promising striker. Although Filling has only played one match in the Allsvenskan so far, his performance has already attracted interest from several big foreign clubs.
According to information to Expressen, both Manchester United and Tottenham have made concrete inquiries about the player. Manchester United reportedly want to sign him and then loan him to Lausanne in Switzerland, while Tottenham have proposed a deal where Filling is bought and then loaned back to AIK. The reason the Premier League clubs have already expressed their interest is because they want to buy Filling now before he breaks through and the price skyrockets.
However, according to the same sources, AIK has no plans to sell. The club has clearly indicated that they want to keep the attacking talent to give him continued playing time in the A-team and allow him to develop in his own environment. A sale is not currently an option.

I posted something similar recently. We could have workman like midfield like dippers did but you need a front three who have pace, skill and goal scoring ability not to mention hard working. That dippers 3 of salah mane and bobby worked their socks off. I’m afraid our attackers are pants bar kudus who we have just signed. Everyone goes on about tel and Wilson saying they have potential based on what ? Every player has potential. We needed top quality not punts.
£55m on a 5-year deal (I assume) would see his value to BM at about £33m 2-years in…? Plus he’s 2-years older, there’s an argument that we are over-paying…

What happened to the exodus?
16 goals and 5 assists last season and you would sell him?
