We should have both
It probably won't happen but id like us to go back for MGW next summer
Well they need to sell someone 'cos Rashford can't be registered at this point
Yet Savinho's "mixed" season was as good as all Williams in LA Liga bar 1.
Surely Williams should be absolutely dominating La Liga with his physicality then, but he isn't. He also has alot of poor games, including 1 against Man Utd last season.
Yea, sorry I messed up. I meant to say 5+ rather than 10+. But that actually proves my original point further.
But your guesses were very good, so bravo.
Harped on about it but imo we definately need another striker before window shuts. We must have someone on ice surely but if solanke gets injured again were short. Name of the game is to score goals. If we get eze but i still think the gooners are lurking on this deal, eze is a free kick specialist and can take penalties. Ideal. I wish we would hurry up though.
For sure if Maddison doesn't prove himself reliable by season's end.We should have both
It probably won't happen but id like us to go back for MGW next summer
He'll need to be replaced.
You know what team had 8 players score 4+ goals? Last season's Tottenham Hotspur.
Yorke and Cole combined for 53 in United's treble campaign, there's got to be a better example of spreading the wealth than that.
Ferran Torres?
Torres...... Eze......Kudus
That's more like a Frankball attack
I think his subtle shoulder drops and his ability to stop dead at full throttle is excellent and has the technique to match, I would love him to be a spurs player.
Also Maddisons rugby tackle at 8:38 in that video was borderline world class
Are you playing Savinho down in case we actually sign him, like you played down the EL in case we actually won it?
Suspect yes
At no point did I say we’ve spent money wisely.
I’m just pointing out that if we changed strategy and started paying much higher wages, we’d not have the ability to make high value signings.
Levy was super confident on this being the right method for Spurs, especially given our relatively high income. Sadly the bigger clubs have found various loopholes.
But even with Eze, Woolwich are in a position where they can’t risk buying him until they sell first. So we might now gain Eze.
It’s all risk versus reward, but the downside is we are spending a lot of this spare money on poor value signings.
It’s also why we are mainly targeting potential, as we hope they will be appreciating assets.
It’s just our position in the food chain within the current FFP model.
Even if we got major investment, we wouldn’t be able to and spend a fortune on wages unless the new owners find FFP loopholes.
Savinho is massively attractive to Levy as wages will be low and in theory he will not lose value over time - but could increase in value if he rips it up.
Can't see that headline on their website, so maybe they changed it to better reflect the article?
Romero and VDV
Id have MGW play a.bit deeper as an all action number 8 and leave Eze in the 10 role
I've said numerous times he's very good, he's just not as good as you or others think he is. But you think all our players are about three times as good as they actually are, if you didn't we would win everything every season from having so many generational talents.
You like to big this stuff up to ridiculous levels which doesn't help anyone. Tel is something that doesn't actually exist in your mind. The EL is the club version of the Euros in your mind. It isn't logical or sane.
Both of those read like they are being milked by the transfer click merchants whilst the clubs work out the legal details of the contracts
Probably.
But it was the first one I could think of, and I don't care that much to waste more time on it.
Eze seems to have quite a few goals in him. The way he plays almost feels more like a false 9/ left-inside forward than a 10 to me. I think Frank can get a tune out of Dom. Doubt he can get Richy scoring considering he never really has on any levels.
