'Reeking of desperation?' - who could Spurs turn to next?​

Everyone except our dear Lange knows what's the alternatives left. Fucking doing the ID for him all summer and still failed spectacularly.
 
*shrug* do da banter online all you want, the top players want competing at the top level in the prem and getting to the cl later rounds, of course if you actually win that stuff even better but they'll take being involved in that over winning second tier trophies all day long.

What means more to Spurs fans is a different thing entirely.

Obviously I was being tongue in cheek BUT there is a sting in the tail because every Gooner I know was absolutely spitting that we won that Trophy not least because they relentlessly mocked us for the barren Pochettino years.

We are allowed to take pleasure in our wins - however infrequent they are - or BECAUSE of how infrequent they are.
 
I thought Dansgaard was mid 30’s, bald fucker.

He’s only 25, he would be a good shout imo. Not a big name but outstanding last year

Exchange for Tel and Drahusin

I think that the board don't know what to do, they're probably asking Frank if he really needs a 10. Probably have another bash at Conor Gallagher, IIRC Poch played him in some sort of forward midfielder role at Chelsea, and it sort of worked.
 
Back to our transfer thread, I think it's bid accepted from.one club tomorrow - from us.

No way we get to Monday evening without a medical on the horizon.

Who?

Someone quality or another 'potential'

Or just another journeyman who will just maintain what we already have and allow us to tread water for the next few seasons until we sack the manager and the whole 'transition' starts again.

This quote in there hit the nail on the head.

“Spurs' mentality is like being a multi-millionaire and driving 25 minutes out of town because the petrol is 5p cheaper. By the time you get home you haven't saved anything, wasted a bunch of time, and everyone else is confused by what you're doing and laughing at you.”
 
Mainoo? He's not really a 10 but he could play there and would be a menace in the right setup. He's not getting much game time at United and United need some sales. It could be an option. I'd say they could accept 60m too
