Mate; his thread is a complete shitfest........... You only need to look above and see how some people are happy to whitewash non EPL-goals as if they are meaningless in terms of contribution.
I really can't see us sending Tel out on loan. A young player who had substantial hype behind him a few years ago, that we've only just made permanent. Really can't see it happening.
Obviously we are making predictions. This whole thing started with the premise of me sharing a tweet about the sqaud places in the CL and saying based on that, my most logical prediction is that we are signing a defender at most.
That was the conversation you chose to get involved in and now you decide that you don't want to make predictions based on the CL squad make up..
Sure, it's about having the best squad. If we are getting a player who guarrantees you the goals that you lose from Johnson's minutes, then fine go and get him and send one of Tel/Odobert out of the CL squad. But again, making a prediction here, that's unlikely with 3 days to go and to me looks like we aren't even trying to do that now that Simmons is done.
Obviously, they have no plans to send Tel out on loan.
Absolutely not; but both he AND Odobert must have known they've been auditioning all summer for their place in the pecking order (*).... If meritocracy means that one of the two find themselves not picked for the CL squad then that's just hard knox........... Go own the EPL & domestic cups and make the Gaffa think again in the winter....... They're all but kids; not seniors with track-records for this club.
(*If they'd dazzled the gaffa that much there wouldn't even be talk of buying more wingers.)
You think the talk of buying more wingers is coming from Frank not being impressed by Tel and Odobert in training? you basing that on quotes from him or just your own wild assumptions?
I responded to the tweet (and made that perfect clear in my first post)........ It said:
"So I’ve been trying to understand how Spurs are going to approach the UCL registration limits… thoughts "
The only person making predictions is/was you, fella.
Maybe all the links all have been BS; but nothing "wild" about the theory I projected........
IF he's after what you're insistent would be our 4th (!!!) LWer; then he's obviously not content with the 3 (!!!) he has.

Yea, personally still have a lot of patience with Odobert and Tel, as you said they're effectively still kids, now playing under a manager with actual tactics. Especially with Tel I don't think we can read too much into his last season's performance.
I'm still not quite sure that Tel is actually a LW, so even if we bring another one in I don't see us as being stacked in that position.
LW: New LW/Odobert
CF: Richi/Solanke/Tel
RW: Kudus/Johnson

I really don’t understand the BJ hate on this board
I don’t think he has the talent and I think he does give his all. This is as good as it gets with him. Very happy to be proven wrong and a lot of people here have long memories and will be able to make me eat humble pie
Good Lord, this team with Kane up front would challenge for the title. He’s have to have other attackers around him doing most of the hard pressing to keep him fresh at that age. He’d play deeper like sheringham natch. And he’s banned from free kicks! But he would breeze past Shearer’s record and win some silverware with us. It’s ok to daydream!
I've definitely come around on him, but he does need to put a better shift in defensively.
Kudus is a monster in the press - to have that energy on both wings would be immense.
Gray played well at CB

What realistic level of performance out of him would make you “eat humble pie?” He’s already producing at a high level, as has been repeatedly pointed out.
If ~15 goals/10 assists in all comps is indeed “as good as it gets” for him, that’s pretty useful, no? Very odd to fixate on forcing that out of the lineup purely because of some aesthetic preference for whatever you think a winger “should” play like.
Tel will not be loaned out.
Levy hasn't paid 30mil+ for a player to be loaned out.
FFS use a bit of common sense.
Because we have a better winger to take his place, who would score more than say......................17 goals this season?
Who would that be?
Like Frank is going to bench him.
You are either drunk or know nothing about the game, and I'm guessing both.
